Nat watched Rosalina as she walked into her house. He smiled to himself, he was one lucky guy!
They had been secretly going out for a month after been told to stay away from each other by their dad's, without reason.
But they couldn't resist each other.
They were drawn to one another like a moth to a naked flame.
After making sure she was safely inside he set off home. A cold bitter air surrounded him yet the night sky above was calm and beautiful.
He tugged his scarf closer to him as he made his way through the quiet, deserted streets. Happiness filled him and he began to sing.
"Rosalinaaa…Rosalinaaa" His voice echoed, bouncing off all the walls.
When he got home it was quiet. He guessed his dad and Alex had gone to bed. He took off his coat and scarf and went upstairs.
As he entered his room, he found Alex wasn't there. He checked the bathroom, no sign of him anywhere. He then checked his dad room where things got even weirder, he wasn't there!
What on earth was going on?
Just then the telephone rang from down stairs. Nat darted downstairs to answer it, praying it wasn't a bearer of bad news.
"Hello?" He said.
"Nat! Nat is it true? Tell me it can't be!" Rosalina wept she sounded chocked up.
"What? What's true?" Nat said softly.
"That…that me and you…are" The line cut dead before she could finish.
Nat put down the receiver totally baffled. He grabbed his coat and went out the door. As he got onto the street he found his dad, Alex and some woman he had never seen before coming towards him.
His dad had a tight grip on the woman's arm shouting at her.
"You had no right! No right whatsoever!" He spat at her.
"I had every right! She needed to know and so does he! You have no right to let them see each other! It's disgraceful!" She screamed.
"Nat!" Alex cried running towards his brother.
Alex grabbed Nat tightly weeping into him.
His dad and this woman soon caught up. The women tugged away from his dads grip and hugged Nat too before looking him over.
"You're so handsome! Look at you!" She cried.
"Don't you touch him, He doesn't need you!" Mr Wolff said grabbing her once more and pulling her away from him.
Nat looked shocked.
"Dad you're hurting her!" He said concerned.
"No she'll hurt you if you let her!" Mr Wolff replied.
"Well the truth hurts honey!" She hissed.
"Honey?" Nat repeated.
"Don't listen to her! Take your brother and go inside!" Mr Wolff said sternly but Nat didn't move. "I said take your brother and get inside."
"You coward!" The woman snapped at Mr Wolff. "He has a right to know who I am!"
"NAT NOW!" His dad roared.
Still Nat didn't move pulling his brother closer to him.
"Tell him Michael Wolff! Go on tell Nat who I am!" She cried.
Mr Wolff shook his head.
"You tell me" Nat said.
"I'm…your mother" She replied smiling at a very shocked Nat.
