A/N: Ok cards on the table. I know that most of you guys dont like the story that I am writing all because jason and shane are breaking up the band so they can take care of their baby sister and thats cool. I would be too but truth is I dont care. Look at the top of the fanfiction page and read what it says. It says and I quote "unleash your imagination." Thats what I am doing. I am unleashing my imagination by saying that I think this would happen if this happened. if you dont like what I am writing then find another story to read cause I honestly dont give a damn about what you think and no foul language or nasty comments is gonna change that. I am what I am and that would happen to be a fanfiction writer just like you who wants to express herself. I apoloize if I hurt your feelings in any way but this is how I feel. Thank you for your time and please enjoy this chapter of a Little Bit Longer.

It had been one month since Jason and Shane broke the news to their younger siblings about the band. What a long month it had been. Ever since they told, all Nate did was sit in his room and sulk. I think he said something along the lines of I can't believe this I'm never talking to you guys again. Ever since then he did nothing but sit I his room and his brothers we're worried.
"Jas he hasn't eaten since Tuesday I'm worried," said Shane to Jason as he fed Anna her bottle
"I know me too. I swear I didn't think he'd care this much about not being in a band," said Jason going over some bills
"I think Anna is worried to, I mean why else would she be crying late at night."
"Yea I know. He'll come around don't worry."
"Don't worry? Jas he hasn't come out of his room in four weeks and if he does it's to get food, drink, shower and go to the bathroom. He even went on a hunger strike on Tuesday. Jason its Friday and I'm really worried. Especially since he has diabetes."
"Look I am too. Ok I'm sorry. I'm sorry that I'm not mom and dad. I'm sorry that we had to break up the band. I'm sorry that I can't support you, Nate, Frankie, Annabelle and myself. But the truth is I'm scared," by now both the brothers had tears coming down their faces.
"I'm scared too," said Shane as he carried Annabelle to her room and set her in her crib, "All I know is that yes you're not mom and dad and you never will be. But Jas truth is if it weren't for you Nate, Frankie and Annabelle would be in a foster home. Every day I thank the good Lord that I have you and them cause without you guys I would be lost."
By this time Jason and Shane were in the living room watching a movie. It was late yes but they didn't care besides something more important was on their minds.
"What are we going to do about next month's mortgage?" asked Jason looking at Shane with hopeful eyes
"I honestly don't know," said Shane
"Well we got to think of something. This money we get from acting and singing won't last us long. Especially now that we have a new baby"
"Yea I know. Hey yesterday I saw an old abandon building on my way back from the grocery, in fact it was also in the paper."
"Was it for sale?"
"Yea. Hey are you thinking what I'm thinking?"
"Shay go get the paper maybe we can buy it and turn it into a music store or something."
"I take that as a yes."
Shane did as he was told and got the paper. After finding the page Jason circled the address and put the number in his cell phone before going to bed. Shane soon followed suit but not before checking on his younger siblings. As soon as he got into Nate's room a thought suddenly occurred to him, Nate's blood sugar was probably low since he hadn't eaten for three days. Lucky for him Nate was a heavy sleeper and didn't feel Shane prick his finger. Seeing that his sugar level in fact low Shane got out a low insulin shoot and gave it to Nate. He made a mental note to himself to make sure that Nate ate tomorrow; the insulin could hold him off but not for long. After doing that he too went to bed.
*The Next Day*
Nate Grey woke up to some crying not just any old crying it was the cries of his one and half month old sister. He waited for a few minutes before getting up to retrieve his sister, knowing full well that his brothers left him at home with the baby and an eight year old (A/N: I know I said five before but I changed my mind and made him eight) . He reached into the crib and began to softly sing to her hoping to soothe her. It worked. Annabelle stopped crying and looked up at Nate with her big hazel eyes.
"Hello beautiful. Did Shane and Jason forget to feed you," he cooed as he made his way down stairs and into the kitchen. He took a bottle out of the fridge and put in the microwave. As he did this he noticed a note on the counter next to the fridge. With the hand not supporting the baby he picked it up and began to read it.
Nate,
If you are reading this then good that means Annabelle has woken you up and you know that Shane and I are not home. We went out to check out this building that is for sale in hopes of turning it in to something. The bills are not looking good and since we quit the band we are finding it hard to pay for the bills. We will be back around two o'clock. Until then make sure that Frankie and Annabelle are fed. And please Natey eat something. You have not eaten since Tuesday and insulin will not last you that long. If not for me and Shane then do it for Frankie and Annabelle. Love you bro.
Jason andShane
After reading the letter Nate took the bottle out of the microwave and sat in the rocking chair as he fed Annabelle. He turned the TV on to Disney channel and watched Hannah Montana but was soon interrupted when Frankie came downstairs in his Cars pajamas.
"Where's Shane and Jason," he asked leaning on the couch that was beside the rocking chair.
"They went to go check out something they'll be back at two," said Nate burping Anna before setting her down in her playpen to go make breakfast for him and his brother. He didn't even realize how hungry he was until now. After eating, Nate changed Annabelle and made sure to dress Frankie before he took a shower and got dressed himself. For some reason Nate noticed that he was wearing sweatpants and t-shirts more and more these days. He didn't know why and he honestly didn't care.
Like promised Shane and Jason returned home at two and with some very important news.
"How do you guys fill about opening a restaurant and coffee shop," asked Jason once everyone was in the living room
"What?" asked a confused Nate and Frankie as Shane bounced Annabelle on his knee
"We were thinking about turning the building in to a restaurant/ coffee shop," said Shane, "face it our tour money and acting money aren't going to last us much longer and you're going to go crazy from not having anything to do. This would be a great opportunity to get us back on track."
"I don't know," said Nate as Frankie nodded in approval.
"Natey the restaurant part would represent momma's love of cooking and the coffee part will represent dad's business side. Plus we're gonna get a stage put in so we can perform for our guests on Saturdays," replied Jason , " so we can still perform and have a good time."
"I'm in," said Frankie as Shane and Jason hugged him. But then they turned to Nate who sat there in silence.
"Natey?" said Frankie
"What about school? I mean yes you and Shane are no longer in school but what about Frankie and me. Not to mention Annabelle when she gets older," said Nate concerned for his siblings well being
"We got you guys a teacher she will come in at 12 everyday and teach you guys something until 5. That's when you guys can come in and work with Kevin and I," said Shane as Annabelle put her fist in her mouth or rather tried to.
"Another thing what are we going to do about Frankie and Annabelle while we're working I mean we can't constantly have them with us?"
"We are having a little area put in for them so they won't be bored while we work and your girlfriend Cassie said she would be glad to watch them," said Jason hoping this would calm his brother's fears
"Come one Nate what do have to lose," asked Shane
"Nothing. Count me in," said Nate after awhile smiling.
