A/N-I DO NOT OWN THE NBB!
Hey guys!
Sorry, I am working on updating 'Behind the Scenes' but it's coming a little slow. But it will be updated soon don't worry!
This story will be updated A LOT because I've written quite a few chapters in advanced sooo, that explains it. Anyway, hope you enjoy!
The next day was very hectic. In the morning the lobby man came to fix the chain lock. Jesse went out to get another lock and, to Rosalina's dismay, take her to the doctor, because Nat asked her to.
"Rosie, I promise you everything will go fine."
"Nat, I told you I don't want to go to the doctor."
"Please?"
"Fine..."
Jesse decided to leave the brothers home so that they could clean up with apartment and Nat promised Rosalina that they would spend the rest of the day together to make up for her going to the doctor. So after Jesse and Rosalina left, Nat and Alex cleaned like they never cleaned before.
They both cleaned the living room and kitchen and their own rooms. Nat cleaned the Fuzzy Room while Alex cleaned the room upstairs and the winding purple stairs. They had both agrued over who was going to clean the bathroom, but in the end Nat cleaned it.
Afterwards, they both took showers, Nat finished up the laundry with Alex's help and Alex washed the dishes with Nat's help.
When they could finally clean no more, they both fell onto the couch.
"I am never cleaning again," Alex said.
"I'm with you bro," Nat agreed.
When Jesse and Rosalina finally came home, Rosalina ran off to Nat's bedroom, leaving Nat with a curious expression. "What happened?"
"I don't know," Jesse shrugged. "Everything seemed fine, we got a lock for the door and went to the doctors. But she didn't talk much in the car though."
Nat got up and walked over to his bedroom door. He cracked it open a bit to see Rosalina laying on the bed with her back to him. "Rosalina?"
She didn't answer.
"What's wrong?"
She rolled over on her back, with her hands covering her face.
"Hey, your walking fine, what's wrong?"
She groaned.
He sat down on the bed. "C'mon Rosie, talk to me."
She uncovered her face and looked at him. "The doctor said it wasn't broken, just a bad sprain."
"But that's good, isn't it?"
"Yeah."
"Then why are you upset?"
"Because! If you haven't noticed, everything that I just did has a cause. He caused it."
"What are you talking about?"
"Jesse went to go get a new lock, because he broke in last night. I had to go to the doctor because I sprained my ankle, running from him. You and Alex had to clean your house which is like a disaster area, because I have to stay here, because of him. I mean, you guys are doing everything for me, to keep me safe, from him."
"Honestly, we were gonna have to clean the house anyway because the guys stayed over like two nights in a row, that's a disaster in itself. The new lock...so what, we could've gotten a new one anyway."
"Yeah, well what about my ankle? You have to do everything for me, because I can't walk right."
"I don't mind doing things for you."
"You don't?"
"No. You're not bossy, and you never asked me to do anything for you but I did anyway, did you ever notice that?" Nat asked.
"Well, no."
"See? Everything's fine. We don't mind you staying here, Rosalina, because we care about you. I do, Alex does, Jesse, the band, my dad, everyone."
"Thanks Nat," She said smiling.
"Are you happy now?" He asked nudging her.
Rosalina laughed. "Yeah, thanks."
The door opened. "Hey guys! I'm home!" A voice shouted.
Nat smiled. "I guess my dad's home."
"Yeah, I guess so."
"C'mon let's go talk to him," He smiled as he helped Rosalina up.
"Dad!" Alex shouted, running up to hug his dad.
"Hey boys!" Mr. Wolff said happily as he hugged Alex.
"How was the accordion convention, Dad?" Nat asked.
"It was great, really great, Nat. But I'm glad to be back."
"Hi, Mr. Wolff," Jesse greeted.
"Hi Jesse. Everything run smoothly around here?" Mr. Wolff asked as he walked into the living room.
Jesse gave Nat a nervous look.
Nat shrugged with an I-don't-know look on his face.
They all followed him into the living room.
"Well...Mr. Wolff...you see...Nat has something to tell you!" Jesse blurted out.
"I-I—well, Dad we had a little trouble," Nat stuttered.
"What kind of trouble?" Mr. Wolff asked, looking clueless.
Nat looked at Alex, Jesse, and Rosalina.
They all gave him unsure looks.
"Dad, can I talk to you in the kitchen, for a sec?" He asked finally.
"Sure thing, Nat."
Mr. Wolff and Nat walked into the kitchen after Nat helped Rosalina onto the couch.
Jesse, Alex, and Rosalina all sat in silence in the living room for almost a half an hour until Nat and Mr. Wolff came back into the room.
"Rosalina, I just want you to know, that you can stay here as long as you'd like or until we get this straightened out," Mr. Wolff said.
"Thanks, Mr. Wolff."
Nat sat down next to Rosalina. "He says we should try to call your dad," He whispered.
"I don't know how to tell him," She whispered back.
"You'll be able to."
"I hope so."
"Do you wanna try now?"
"Yeah, I'll go do it now," Rosalina said, getting up (well, more like limping) and pulled out her cell phone. She walked out of the living room.
Alex sat next to Nat. "Don't worry, bro. Everything'll be fine. Right, Jesse?"
Jesse nodded and smiled. "Right."
"Nat, why didn't you tell me sooner?" Mr. Wolff asked.
"Rosalina didn't even want to tell me at first...I didn't want to tell everyone yet."
"I'm glad you told me at all though. It was the right thing to do."
If it was the right thing to do, then why do I feel so bad? Nat thought.
The four of them sat in the living room, waiting for Rosalina to finish talking to her dad. It seemed like forever to Nat, who didn't talk to his father, brother or babysitter. He was worried about Rosalina and he wondered if everything was okay.
After almost two hours of wondering, Nat decided to go check on her. He quietly walked into the Fuzzy Room. "Um...Rosalina? Are you okay?"
Rosalina looked up at him. "Oh. Yeah, I'm fine."
"What'd your dad say?" Nat asked, stepping into the Fuzzy Room.
She sniffled. "He uh—he said he's coming home right away from his business trip and he's going to try and contact Josh's mom too."
"They aren't in contact anymore?"
"No, remember when they divorced? They agreed that it would be okay for Josh to stay with us. And...besides maybe Josh, we don't talk to her. I never liked her anyway."
"That's good that he's doing something about it though."
Rosalina shrugged. "I guess."
Nat walked over to her and sat down. "Are you sure your okay? You seem kinda…I don't know…down."
"Yeah, I'm fine. It's just overwhelming."
"We're all right here for you," He said putting a hand on her shoulder.
"Thanks, Nat."
"No problem. So you okay now?"
"Yeah," Rosalina said nodding. "I'm okay now."
"Good. Did your dad say when he's coming home?"
"He said soon, and hopefully soon means a day or so."
"That's good."
"Yeah."
Their conversation had suddenly become awkward which hadn't happened in so long. Neither of them knew what to say. Luckily, Alex walked into the room.
"Hey Rosalina, your dad just called."
"What'd he say?"
"He said he was going to catch the earliest flight back to New York."
Rosalina looked a little nervous but nodded and smiled.
"Hey Alex, would you mind um..." Nat trailed off, hoping Alex would catch the hint.
"Oooh, you want to be alone with Rosalina," Alex teased, giving him a goofy smile.
"Alex get out of here!" Nat said, throwing a pillow at his brother.
Alex kept his smile on his face but walked out.
Rosalina laughed at the brothers but didn't say anything.
"I want to talk to you about something."
"What is it?"
"You seem upset again. Aren't you happy about your dad coming home?"
"I am, just nervous. But I'm okay, I promise," She reassured him.
He took her hand in his and smiled.
