A/N-I DO NOT OWN THE NAKED BROTHERS BAND OR THE SONG "WIPE YOUR EYES" BY MAROON 5!

Hey guys!

Alright, so YES I have another oneshot for you guys. But I also have to discuss something with you guys. So I've gotten a couple requests to turn some of my oneshots into multi-chapter stories. So, the question is, which one do you guys REALLY want to read as a multi-chapter story? You can choose from the following oneshots: "After the Premiere", "Fight of Friendship", or this one here which is "Wipe Your Eyes". I'll start whichever story you guys choose AFTER I finish Mystery Girl. I need to focus on "Mystery Girl" right now since I've been neglecting it.

SO my point is: Leave your choice in a review, and tell me what you think of THIS oneshot!

I worked REALLY hard on it! I've put it through HOURS, WEEKS, and about a MONTH of editing! I started this about a week before Christmas, and just finished yesterday.

Enjoy! (:


I'm afraid that I gotta do what I gotta do
But if I let you go, where you gonna go?
We gotta make a change, time to turn the page
Something isn't right, I don't wanna fight you
We've been through tougher times, you know it gets worse
We can turn this around please let me be first
And as I feel your tears spilling on my shirt
Something isn't right I don't wanna fight you

They'd been friends since forever. Best friends. They barely spent a day apart. But now, he had to leave. He had to do, what he had to do. If it was up to him, he would put it off until later. But he couldn't, so he had to break it to her now. He and his brother Alex had gone solo after their band with their best friends broke up. They had a tour in about a week, and he hadn't told Rosalina yet.

He reached her house, her dad let him in, and he walked up the familiar stairs to her room. He knocked gently on the door and after hearing her say, "Come in!" He opened the door.

"Oh, hey," She said smiling, and sitting up on her bed. She was reading, something she was obsessed with doing.

"Hey Rosie," He said, smiling and sitting down across from her on the bed. He glanced at her bedside table which had a picture of them, inside a bedroom of a trailer, the night he admitted he loved her.

"What's up?"

"Um..." He glanced around the room, with all of it's pink, girly features. Something was almost the complete opposite of her. There was a picture of her and him, sitting on the trampoline in the studio they used to film at, with their arms around each other, and her dressed as Pinky The Girly Girl and him as The Hairy Vest Man. It was when she pinned him during a wrestling match. He still hasn't lived it down. "I just wanted to stop by and talk."

"About what?"

He sighed. "Rosie...you know how Alex and I have our new album?"

"Of course I do. I've listened to all of it probably over a million times."

"Well, the record company set up a tour for us."

"A tour? Cool, when?"

"Next week."

"Next week?" She asked, with surprise in her voice.

Nat nodded slowly.

"That's...that's great," Rosalina replied quietly. "I'm happy for you guys."

He frowned. Something wasn't right. She was obviously hiding something. "Are you sure?"

She nodded and added a smile. "Yeah, definitely. Congrats." She hugged him tightly, and squeezed her eyes shut, thinking if she did it would help stop the tears.

He hugged her and rubbed her back, his secret way of telling her he knew something was wrong.

Rosalina pulled back quickly. "How long is the tour?"

"A month."

"So I've got one week to spend with you until you leave for a month?"

"I won't be far away, and the shows are on the weekends. I'll call all the time."

Hey you, come over and let me embrace you
I know that I'm causing you pain too
But remember if you need to cry
I'm here to wipe your eyes

"Hey bro, the phone is for you!" Alex handed him the house phone.

"Hello?"

"Hi." It was Rosalina, and she sounded like she'd been crying.

"What's up Rosie? What's wrong?"

"It's my dad...he...he met a new girl, and I think she took him somewhere to drink, because he came home and he..." She broke down on the other end.

"What happened, Rosie? You have to tell me," Nat said calmly.

She took a deep breath. "He slapped me."

The comment made shocked Nat, he knew Mr. Tai would never make that decscion by himself, so the girl he met must've done something to him. "I'll be over soon." He hung up and immediately ran out of the apartment and to her house. He opened the door and ran upstairs to her bedroom.

She was lying on her bed, curled up into a ball, crying and staring out the window.

"Come here, Rosie," Nat said softly, sitting on her bed.

Rosalina crawled over to him, and laid her head onto his chest, trying to wipe her tears away.

He hugged her tightly.

"I did something wrong, didn't I?" She cried.

"No, no, shh. Its okay. You didn't do anything wrong," Nat said soothingly.

"I don't get it...why would he do that?"

"He wasn't thinking, he didn't mean it, Rosie."

"You must think I'm a baby."

"I don't."

She wiped the last of her tears, but made no move to pull away from him. "I'm sorry that this is how we're spending your last week before your tour."

"I don't mind. I'm just glad your okay."

Rosalina slowly sat up and that's when he saw the red mark on her cheek.

"Rosie..." He mumbled, reaching out and gently touching her cheek.

She flinched, but didn't try to move away.

"Come here," He said again.

She moved back over to him and laid her head on his chest. She closed her eyes. "Thank you."

He gently stroked her hair and smiled at her.

Tonight before you fall asleep
I run my thumb across your cheek (across your cheek)
Cry 'cause I'm here to wipe your eyes
I know I made you feel this way
You gotta breathe, we'll be okay (be okay)
Cry 'cause I'm here to wipe your eyes

He gently moved Rosalina so that he could get up. He was sure she was asleep now. He kissed her forehead and walked downstairs. Just as he started down the block, Mr. Tai pulled up in his car. "Mr. Tai!"

Mr. Tai stopped and noticed him. "Oh...its you."

"Yeah, and I just want you to know, you really scared Rosalina today."

"I don't..."

"You know what I'm talking about. Your lucky she's the amazing girl she is or she would've had a good reason to call Child Protective Services." He stormed away without letting Mr. Tai say another word.

Oh nah nah oh nah nah nah nah
'cause I'm here to wipe your eyes
Oh nah nah oh nah nah nah nah

2 days before they had to leave for the tour, he and Rosalina hung out at the park. Everything seemed fine until he brought up the tour.

"Oh yeah...the tour," She said quietly.

"Alright, what's wrong? You used to be so excited about tours and now you hate them."

"No, I don't hate them."

"Then what is it? I hate seeing you like this, Rosalina. And I hate it even more that you won't tell me what's wrong."

"It's...it's nothing." Rosalina jumped off the swing, and hurried away from him.

He quickly followed her. "Then why can't you tell me?"

"It's not important, really."

He caught up with her and grabbed her wrist. "Please, Rosalina. Just tell me."

She pulled her wrist away. "It's not important, trust me. You've got a tour to get ready for, so you don't need my problems to worry about." She was becoming frustrated.

"I don't care about the tour right now. I care about you."

"Well why do you care about me? I'm just some girl! You have a million girls who would kill just to touch you."

He was confused. Was she...jealous? "You're not just some girl. You're my best friend, Rosalina!"

Rosalina didn't reply.

"Is something about the tour bothering you?"

"It doesn't matter!" She spoke up again.

"It does! Because if you want to know the truth, I don't even know why your yelling at me! I just want to know why you don't like the tour because every time I bring it up, your expression changes completely."

When did we cross the line?
How could we forget?
Why do we let the pressure get into our heads?
Your broken heart requires all of my attention
'cause something isn't right, I don't wanna fight you

He hadn't talked to Rosalina all day. They hadn't spoken to each other since the fight at the park. That was yesterday. He wanted to talk to her before they left for tour. He refused to leave her on such bad terms. His thoughts were interrupted by his cell phone ringing. "Hello?"

"Hey Nat, its Cooper. Um...have you talked to Rosalina lately?"

Nat sighed. "No...I haven't. Why?"

"Because I was doing some work at the studio we used to rehearse at, and I found her crying on the stairs."

"I'll be right there." He ran over to the studio. They had so many memories there. Their fight about Michele, rehearsing for the band's movie, and so many great songs had been written there. He was about to rush into the studio, when he saw his best friend sitting on the stairs. "Rosie, what are you doing here?"

She wiped her eyes. "Nothing."

"I know your upset about our 'fight' and I want you to know I'm sorry. But I know something is bothering you and I hate to see you that way."

"I'm sorry too."

"So what's bothering you?"

"I can't tell you."

He sighed again. "Okay, then why aren't you at home?"

She looked up at him, with tears brimming in her eyes again.

"No, no, no, no, no. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to upset you again," He said soothingly, pulling her to his chest. "Don't cry Rosie, I hate it when you cry."

"But I can't tell you that either," Rosalina cried.

"Why not?"

"I just can't."

"Please, Rosie, I can't make you feel better if you don't tell me what's wrong."

"Do you promise not to tell anyone?"

"I promise."

"I'm afraid to go home," She mumbled.

"Why?"

"Because my dad's there."

It suddenly clicked. She was afraid to go home because of her father. She was afraid of her father hitting her again. "I told you, he must've been drinking that night. He wouldn't do it if he was thinking clearly."

"But he never drinks! That's just it!"

"Shhh...your okay, we'll figure this out," He soothed, starting to stroke her hair.

"And with you and Alex going on tour, I'll be alone for a week. What if...it happens again?"

"Is that why your upset about the tour?"

Rosalina nodded into his chest.

"We need to talk to your dad about this," He said.

She shook her head. "No, no, we can't!"

"Rosie, we have to. And we're going to do it before I leave for the tour. Okay?"

She nodded again, slowly calming down. "Just not today."

Hey you, come over and let me embrace you
I know that I'm causing you pain too
But remember if you need to cry
I'm here to wipe your eyes

Nat took Rosalina to the Wolff's apartment, and she stayed there the rest of the night. He knew that she still didn't feel safe with her father, but they were going to fix that. They were going to fix it before he left too.

"Nat?" She asked quietly.

"What's up?"

"When you guys go on tour, I'm really gonna miss you."

"I know Rosie. I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner."

"I don't blame you," She said, resting her head on his shoulder. "I'm sorry we have to spend your last week like this."

"Hey, at least I'm spending it with my best friend."

~NBB~

The next afternoon, the two of them walked back over to Rosalina's house. Mr. Tai let them inside.

"Rosalina, where have you been?" He questioned.

"At Nat's," She mumbled.

"Why? Why didn't you tell me?"

"Mr. Tai, you can't honestly expect her to just forget what happened the other day," Nat spoke up.

Mr. Tai quieted down.

"You really scared me, Dad. I don't know what to think about it."

"Rosalina," He said, stepping toward her.

She flinched away from him, and back into Nat.

"I'm sorry. I really am. I promise you, I won't do it again."

Nat gave her a reassuring look.

"I believe you. But I don't know how soon it'll be before I trust you again," She said.

"I know," Her father sighed.

"C'mon, let's go upstairs," Rosalina said, taking Nat's hand and leading him upstairs.

They got to her room and Nat shut the door behind them.

Rosalina fell onto the bed and sighed. "I have to survive a month without you?"

"I'm sorry."

"Your going to call nonstop right?"

"Absolutely."

"And we can video chat once or twice too?"

"Sure, but Alex will be with us then. I'm not responsible for anything he says. On tour, he goes a little crazy."

Rosalina laughed.

"Aha, I got you to laugh."

"Thanks Nat."

"Do you want me to stay until you fall asleep?"

She nodded, and laid back on her pillows.

"Look Rosie, I really am sorry. If it were up to me, I would push back the tour another month because I know your not very comfortable alone."

"It's fine, Nat, really. I am a little nervous, but I'll get through it."

"Good. So go to sleep."

She smiled. "Fine. Good night Nat."

"Good night Rosalina." He smiled.

Tonight before you fall asleep
I run my thumb across your cheek (across your cheek)
Cry 'cause I'm here to wipe your eyes
I know I made you feel this way
You gotta breathe, we'll be okay (be okay)
Cry 'cause I'm here to wipe your eyes

Friday has finally come whether Nat or Rosalina liked it or not. They were standing in front of the Wolff's apartment building, waiting for the tour bus they rented to arrive.

"I'll miss you guys a lot," Rosalina said, looking at Nat and Alex.

"I'll call everyday," Nat reassured her.

"And we can video chat too," Alex added.

"And when we're not calling, we'll text," Nat said.

Rosalina nodded and smiled. "Thanks guys."

"Alex, could you go talk to dad for a little bit?" Nat asked.

"Sure," Alex said, walking away from the teens.

"You can call me if anything happens, okay? Tell me if you feel uncomfortable at anytime."

"No, I can't do that. Because then you'll feel bad that you can't do anything."

"Trust me, I've got it all figured out. And remember, your coming on Sunday for our show next weekend, so we'll be together for a week."

"Yeah, but then we'll have to say goodbye, again."

"Yeah but this time it'll only be for three weeks," He reminded her.

She smiled. "Okay, okay I get it."

"Nat, the bus is here!" Alex called to him.

"So this is it," Rosalina said.

"Until Sunday," He reminded her.

"Until Sunday," She repeated, nodding.

~NBB~

Sunday came around and Nat was excited. He was glad Rosalina was coming to stay with them tonight. He felt better about leaving so soon.

The early afternoon had just turned late, when his phone rang. He checked the I.D and smiled. "Hey Rosie. When are you coming?"

"Nat...I'm really sorry, but I can't come."

Nat frowned. It didn't sound like her usual self. Besides her obvious upset tone, she didn't sound the same. "What happened?"

She let out a shaky breath. "I'm sorry...I just...can't."

"Well are you going to come see one of our shows?"

"Hopefully."

"Are you okay, Rosie?"

"I'm fine."

"Are you sure?"

"I promise," Her voice cracked.

"Rosalina..." He felt like something was wrong. "Are you sure everything is okay, because we don't have any shows today and I could have my dad drive me back -"

"No Nat," She said quickly. "I-I'm fine, really."

"I would just really feel better if we drove back."

"You don't need to Nat. I'll be out there next week, and everything will be fine. I promise."

"I don't know about this, Rosalina."

"Trust me, Nat. Please."

"Fine."

~NBB~

A few days later, Nat hadn't heard from Rosalina since Sunday afternoon. He was worried about her. He was so worried that he couldn't even rehearse. Suddenly, one day during rehearsal his phone rang. Seeing it was Rosalina, he picked up immediately. "Hey Rosie, what's up?"

There was a loud bang, then he heard her voice. "Nat? How far away are you from New York?"

"About 20 minutes right now. Why?"

"I know I said I was fine...but I need you right now -" Another loud bang. "Please."

Please don't lose your faith
Don't worry 'cause I'm here to keep you safe
I promise if you let me see your face
That I won't let you down
I won't let you down
I'm here to wipe your eyes

Nat begged his dad to drive him back to New York. At first, Mr. Wolff told him no, but after Nat explained the problem, he agreed immediately. They drove as fast as they could back to the city. They reached Rosalina's house and Nat jumped out of the car and ran inside.

The door was unlocked, which already made him suspicious. He walked inside and looked around. "Rosalina?" He called.

There wasn't a real answer, but Nat could hear some banging.

"Rosalina, where are you?"

In response the banging became louder and more frantic sounding.

"Is that you, Rosie?" He called out again.

The banging sound came again.

"Do it again!"

This time, he was able to determine it was coming from upstairs. He walked the stairs and stood in the hallway. "One more time, Rosie!"

The banging was louder then ever now, and he followed the sound to Rosalina's bedroom door. He opened the door to see a sight that made his heart break.

Rosalina was sitting on the floor, her hands were tied behind her back, her feet were tied together, and there was something tied into her mouth so she couldn't talk.

"Oh my God Rosie, what happened?" Nat asked, gently untying the gag in her mouth.

"It's my dad..." She cried, with tears streaming down her face.

He began untying her hands. "Your dad did this to you?"

"No, he was drinking again and he had some friends over and they were drunk..." She trailed off, closing her eyes. "Please don't make me say it."

"Okay, its okay. But did they hurt you otherwise?"

She opened her eyes and shook her head as she watched him untie her feet.

"Come here Rosie," He said, pulling her into a hug.

She cried onto his shirt. "I don't get it. He promised he would stop. He promised!"

"I know, I know...it's okay," He soothed. "It's okay."

"I don't like where this is going, Nat. I'm afraid of where this is going."

"I know, and we're going to straighten this out. But for now," He helped her stand up. "You are going to go with us on tour. I can't leave you here alone."

"I don't want to be alone. Not ever. Please, don't ever leave me," She practically whimpered.

"It's okay, your okay. Just relax," He said calmly.

She nodded and followed him out of the house.

They walked to the car and they both slid into the back.

"Are you okay, Rosalina?" Mr. Wolff asked.

"Yeah, thanks Mr. Wolff," She mumbled.

They drove back to the hotel where Nat and Alex were staying while their on tour. Alex was relieved to see that Rosalina was okay, and they all hung out in the hotel room for the rest of the day.

It was almost "lights out" and Nat, Rosalina and Alex were watching TV in their room they were sharing. Nat and Rosalina were sitting on one bed and Alex on the other.

"Nat, it's almost ten," Alex said, glancing at the clock.

"Okay, well..." He was about to get up and let Rosalina sleep in her own bed, but he realized Rosalina fell asleep leaning on Nat's shoulder. "I'm a little stuck."

"She fell asleep?" Alex asked, looking at his older brother.

Nat nodded. He tried to slowly move away from Rosalina but she whimpered in her sleep. He cautiously leaned over and shut off the lamp. "Good night Alex."

"Night Nat."

Nat carefully got himself and Rosalina into bed and when finally laid down he sighed.

"Nat?" came Rosalina's whisper.

"What's up?"

"Nothing, just making sure you were there," She whispered, hugging him.

"Don't worry Rosie. I'll always be there to wipe your eyes."

Tonight before you fall asleep
I run my thumb across your cheek (across your cheek)
Cry 'cause I'm here to wipe your eyes
I know I made you feel this way
You gotta breathe, we'll be okay (be okay)
Cry 'cause I'm here to wipe your eyes
