A/N-I DO NOT OWN THE NAKED BROTHERS BAND! If I did they would have finished the season...
Hey guys!
I will not update again until I get 2 REVIEWS on this chapter! Deal? Deal.
Oh and this will probably be the last update from me until next week. It depends.
Enjoy!
After they finished eating, Nat and Rosalina were sitting on the couch watching TV. It was late at night and the apartment was dark when Rosalina glanced at the clock. She sat up from laying curled up on the couch. "Oh my gosh, I really have to get home." She stood up and walked toward the front door.
Nat stood up from his spot at the other end of the couch. "No way, don't you know what time it is? Your not going home now."
"Nat, I have to get home. My dad is probably freaking out right now because I haven't talked to him all day."
"Rosie, I know that. But you should just stay here tonight. It wasn't even that late when that creep tried to grab you. Think about what'll happen now, when your alone."
"But..."
"But nothing, just call your dad and tell him your staying here," Nat said, grabbing her wrist to prevent her from opening the front door.
Rosalina gave Nat a look.
"Please?"
"Okay fine, let me call him."
Nat turned on a lamp by the couch and sat down. He sighed and put his head in his hands.
"You know, your not only worrying Alex."
Nat looked up and saw Rosalina standing in front of him. "I'm sorry."
"Do you do this every night?" She asked, sitting down next to him.
"Maybe...sometimes...I don't know."
"Nat."
"Sometimes."
Rosalina sighed. "Nat, look, your really beginning to worry me. Alex is worried too. Just talk to Cooper about getting extra gigs in. I'm sure the guys won't mind. Plus, it'll help us get a good image instead of whatever one Matt Pinfield said."
"Uncle Miles said that music isn't important," Nat mumbled.
"Are you sure your Nat Wolff? Because Nat Wolff, my best friend, wouldn't say any of this. He'd be all for getting in extra concerts, helping the band, and doing what he loves."
He looked down. "Yeah, I know."
"Promise me that tomorrow your going to call Cooper and talk to him."
"Rosie, I don't know..."
"Promise me, Nat. Because if you don't then I will."
Nat stared at her for a few minutes. "Okay, I'll call him tomorrow."
She put her hand on his shoulder. "And promise me that you won't stress yourself out from now on. Even if Alex or me aren't around."
He nodded. "I promise."
That night, after they all went to bed, Nat got up and walked into the kitchen. He didn't know exactly why he was there, but he knew he couldn't stay in his bedroom thinking all night. Was Rosalina really that worried about him? Had Alex noticed too? He wondered if the guys had noticed anything but just didn't mention it to him. What if Uncle Miles actually did stop sending them money? Then what would happen? Even if he did make money from the band, it wouldn't be enough each month to pay all the bills. What if he and Alex were separated? What if they got kicked out of their apartment? What would happen to the band? What would the guys say?
"Nat? What are you doing up so late?"
Nat jumped at the sudden voice penetrating the long going silence of the apartment. Rosalina was sitting up on the couch and she apparently had turned the lamp on, which he hadn't noticed until now. "I...I had to go to the bathroom and I couldn't fall back asleep," He lied, leaning forward on the counter.
"Are you okay? You stood there for awhile...and you kinda...stared off into space."
He nodded. "I'm fine. Just thinking."
"About what?"
"Uh..."
Rosalina walked over to Nat, grabbed his wrist, and pulled him back over to the couch. They both sat down. "Don't lie."
Nat sighed. "Do you think the guys noticed too?"
She shrugged. "I don't know. That's not usually our main conversation at rehearsals."
"What do you think would happen if Uncle Miles stopped giving us money?"
"Nat, your really over-thinking this. I don't think your Uncle Miles will stop giving you money. I'm sure he knows how important it is for you and Alex."
"But what if he does? What if Alex and I are separated because we have no legal guardians? What'll happen to the band?"
"Just calm down, Nat. None of that is going to happen. You and Alex aren't going to be separated, the band will be fine, everything is going to be fine," Rosalina reassured him.
Nat sighed. "Your right."
She smiled. "We should probably go back to sleep."
He nodded.
Rosalina rested her head on his shoulder.
Nat smiled and put his arm around her. "Comfortable?"
"Very." She reached over and turned off the lamp.
"Thank you, Rosie."
"What are best friends for?"
The next morning, Rosalina called her dad to tell him that she would be spending another day at the Wolff's apartment. Alex said that he was going to go skating with Juanita, and the guys all said that they'd be over soon because Cooper called an emergency band meeting.
"Did Cooper tell you about it?" Nat asked, trying to remember if their manager had called at all.
"No...but maybe he knew that all the guys would call so he didn't even bother."
Someone knocked at the door. Nat got up to get it and when he opened it David, Thomas, Qaasim, and Cooper walked in.
"Sorry for such a short notice Nat, but we really need to talk," Cooper said.
"About what, Cooper?" Rosalina asked, coming into the living room.
"Well, I don't know if any of you noticed but Matt Pinfield has been saying a few bad things about the band," Cooper began.
Nat sighed and sat down at the counter.
Rosalina sat next to him. "Yeah, we noticed Cooper."
"We did?" Thomas asked, looking at David and Qaasim.
"It doesn't matter, but he's been saying some things and they haven't been getting on the good side of parents," Cooper said.
"So what are we going to do?" Qaasim asked.
"Wait a sec, where's Alex?" Thomas asked.
"He's with Juanita at the skate park," Nat answered.
"What we're going to do, is we're going to get more gigs in to show the public that The Naked Brothers Band, is still the same," Cooper said.
"Won't we have to get in more rehearsals too?" David asked.
"Yes, so Nat, I was hoping we could use your apartment for rehearsals because we can't schedule anywhere else on a short notice."
Nat nodded. "Sure, Coop."
"The first rehearsal is tomorrow at two p.m. Is that okay with everybody?"
The band nodded.
"Okay good, so does anyone have anything to say before we end the meeting?"
Rosalina nudged Nat.
"Oh, Cooper, can I talk to you in the kitchen for a second?"
"Yeah sure, Nat." Cooper followed Nat into the kitchen.
"What do you think their talking about?" Thomas asked, looking at David, Qaasim, and Rosalina.
"It's none of our business," Rosalina said, knowing exactly what they were talking about.
"Oh c'mon, you know you want to know," Thomas said.
"No, I don't."
"I don't think we should either," Qaasim said.
"Why not?" Thomas asked, looking at Qaasim.
"You gotta respect a man's privacy, dude."
"Whatever, David will listen with me won't you, David?"
Rosalina gave David a look.
"No...thanks..." David said.
Nat and Cooper walked back into the living room. Nat sat back down at the counter and sighed.
"Okay, well everything is taken care of, so this meeting's over. I'll see you guys tomorrow. I have to go take care of some things," Cooper said, and walked out of the apartment.
"I'm gonna go too, I'll see you later Nat. Bye Rosalina," Qaasim said, following Cooper.
"I have to go too, my mom's making an early dinner. See you tomorrow guys," David said, following Qaasim.
"And I'm just gonna go, bye guys," Thomas said, following David.
Rosalina looked at Nat. "Why are you sighing?"
"No reason."
"What did Cooper say?"
Nat walked over and sat on the couch. "He said that he would schedule more gigs and that it was perfect because it would also help the band get a better image."
She followed him. "See, I told you it'll work out. It always does."
"I hope your right."
A/N-Again, bad ending but whatever...hope you liked it! I'll probably update 'Mystery Girl' tomorrow and then that'll be the last update I do until next week. Remember 2 REVIEWS on this chapter, until I update again.
Leave a review!
