A/N-I DO NOT OWN THE NAKED BROTHERS BAND!
Hey guys!
Well... I know that you all have been waiting, or at least I know one person might be waiting for this story, so here it is "Maybe There's A Reason!" I hope you guys enjoy it! (:
I was sitting in church alone, as usual, and the service was almost over when I heard one of the front doors close. I glanced over my shoulder to see who would have the right mind to come into church so late.
Nat and Alex Wolff were quietly sneaking into the church and quickly ducked into the back pew.
I hadn't seen or heard from Nat and Alex Wolff in two years.
Back then, Nat was twelve, Alex was nine, and I was fourteen. We had a band together, and well…it's a long story. But to get to the point, Nat and Alex disappeared without a trace, and the band broke up without any real reason.
And now, they're here in church, of all places.
I turned back around to face the priest. Dear God, please don't let them notice me. You know how I feel about Nat. Not so much Alex, but Nat.
The service ended, and I quickly made my way out of the church. I was almost completely off church property when I heard, "Rosalina! Rosalina, wait up!"
I sped up, pretending not to hear the call. I knew who it was, but I didn't want to know what they wanted.
"Rosalina!" The voice called again, and this time someone grabbed my shoulder.
I turned to face him. "What are you doing here?" I asked, a little more angrily than I'd meant to.
"Looking for you," Nat said, stepping away from me, and holding Alex protectively by his shoulders.
"So I haven't heard from you at all in two years, you haven't called, texted, emailed or anything. You haven't even tried to contact me or anything and now all of a sudden you're looking for me?"
"I need to talk to you. You're the only one I can trust."
I rolled my eyes and turned to walk away.
"Please Rosie," He pleaded, using his old nickname for me. "Just let me explain."
I stopped, faced him, and crossed my arms over my chest. "How did you find me here?"
"I remembered that you always went to church every Sunday evening, alone. I thought this would be the only chance that I got to talk to you without anybody interfering."
I sighed. "You have two minutes to explain to me what you want."
"Look, I know it was wrong to just get up and disappear for two years. I didn't mean to, but I couldn't help it. It was for the best."
"The best for who?"
"You and the guys."
"How?"
"I can't tell you."
I rolled my eyes again and turned to walk away.
"Rosalina, please," He said, following me. "I need help. You're the only one who can help us."
"What about the guys?" I asked, not even glancing at him.
"They wouldn't understand."
"What about Cooper? He's smart. He'd understand."
"Please Rosalina just believe me when I say that I had a good reason to leave New York. I wish I wouldn't have, but I had to. But I can't tell you that reason. And I came back because I think it's safe enough to be here. We need your help."
"With what?"
Nat sighed. "We need somewhere to go."
I stopped walking and looked at him. It was then that I finally got a good look at him. I could tell by his hair that he hadn't showered in a while; his jeans were worn and dirty, especially at the knees. The toes of his shoes looked ready to rip open; the jacket he was wearing was dirty too, with dried mud on every other spot. The same went for Alex. By their faces, I could tell they were tired, and that they'd been through a lot. I could tell they even lost weight too.
"You're the only one Alex and I have left, Rosie," He said. The look in his eyes told me he wasn't lying and that he really needed help.
I sighed. "Alright, c'mon," I said, beginning to walk again. "My dad is on a business trip for a month, so we have until he gets back to find you somewhere to live."
"What about until then?"
"Until then you guys will stay at my house. If you remember, there's a guest room but it only has one bed."
"That's fine. We've slept in smaller spaces."
I looked at him curiously. What could he mean? I shook the thought away as we continued to walk home. When we reached my house, I started thinking. They couldn't sleep in the condition they were in. "You both are going to need to take a shower."
"We don't have any other clothes," Nat said.
I walked through the kitchen to the basement with Nat and Alex close behind. I went to one of the closets in the basement. I opened it and turned on the light inside. I pulled down some of my dad's old clothes from one of the shelves. "You'll have to wear some of my dad's old clothes until we figure out something else," I said, turning off the light and shutting the door. I handed some clothes to Nat, and some to Alex, and led the way back upstairs. We walked upstairs and I showed them the bathroom. "Who's going first?" I asked.
"I'll go first," Alex spoke up.
It was the first time I'd heard Alex say a word in two years. It almost surprised me because Alex wasn't usually the shy type. I didn't say anything about it though. I just showed him where everything was in the bathroom and gave him a towel.
He seemed nervous the whole time, so I was quick to get out of the room and shut the door behind me.
"I owe you," Nat said, as we stood in the hallway, waiting for Alex to finish.
I had all these things to say to him; things I'd been planning over the last two years, but instead all that came out was: "Don't mention it." I still had to be careful with Nat. One part of the story that I failed to mention, was that before Nat and Alex disappeared, Nat and I were a couple.
Everyone knew we were going to be together, and everyone knew we liked each other. Nat had just finally gotten the courage to ask me out, and a few weeks later he disappeared.
I didn't know exactly what to say to him about it, so I didn't say anything at all.
"Really Rosie, I owe you. You've already done so much, and I know I don't deserve it."
I sighed. I can't help it when he uses that nickname. "You got that right."
"I'm sorry, really I am. And I'm even sorrier that I can't give you a real reason why I left, but you have to know it's for your safety."
"I understand…"
"Thank you, Rosalina."
"Can I ask you one thing though?"
"Anything."
"Where have you been these past two years?"
A/N-What will Nat say?
Anyone have any ideas as to why they disappeared?
