They were still asleep when Nat came home, he didn't expect Alex would be home just yet, and before he could see Alex's stuff he saw Mohamed looking at something on his camera.

"What you watching?" Nat asked curiously as he came up behind Mohamed.

"Footage, I shot today" Mohamed said rewinding it, "Watch,"

Nat looked on as Mohamed pushed the play button, and was surprised to see Alex sitting at his drum kit, Nat looked up quickly and saw it empty in front of him, before looking back at the camera. Nat watched more and suddenly saw a ton of emotions suddenly flood into younger brothers face, and shortly after he began thrashing the drums with such intensity that it was scary. Nat just watched shaking at the knees, but he was still confused about one thing. Nat jumped a little when Alex let out his yell, this was scarier than any movie he had ever seen. As Alex finished his yell, Nat couldn't help noticing the Alex was looking happy.

"When did you get this?" Nat asked weakly.

"This morning, Alex and Juanita just come home and it happened," Mohamed said pushing the pause button on the camera.

"They were here?" Nat asked just as weakly.

"Actually, I think they're still upstairs" Mohamed said gesturing up.

Nat left Mohamed and slowly climbed the stairs and walked until he found he reached his and Alex's room, he pushed the door open quietly. Nat almost died. He looked with intrigue at Alex and Juanita, both sitting on Alex's bed. Alex was completely out of it, but Juanita looked as though she was just resting. She opened one of her eyes slowly and saw Nat and let out a little helpless smile.

"Hey Nat" Juanita said quietly and wearily.

"Hey Juanita…" Nat whispered as he quietly put his bag down, He didn't want to disturb Alex who looked peaceful. "How long have you been here?"

"Most the day," Juanita whispered now yawning.

Nat very carefully climbed on the bed, making sure not to disturb Alex, and sat to his other side.

"Mohamed showed…" Nat began quietly.

"I have never seen Alex so scary, but it was so hard not to watch," Juanita said, knowing what Nat was going to say.

"Where did he keep it all in such a small body?" Nat said, Juanita giggled quietly.

Nat and Juanita stopped talking, and seemed to just reflect on Alex between them.

After twenty minutes Alex finally began stir.

"What did you say again?" Alex muttered yawning.

Juanita giggled.

Alex yawned and slowly started rubbing the sleep out of his eyes. He picked his head up off Juanita's shoulder which was now numb. He began to stretch.

"Where did you keep it all?" Nat asked looking intently at his little brother.

Alex didn't immediately recognise the voice.

"What are you talking…?" Alex began, before he turned and looked at Nat.

Nat and Alex just stared at each other with out making a sound.

"Mohamed showed me, you on the drums today." Nat finally said breaking the awkward silence. "How did you do it?"

Alex kept staring at Nat long after he finished talking. Alex, finally after what seemed like for ever, shrugged.

"I don't know… it just happened…" Alex mumbled, he was less interested about what happened in the morning.

Nat smile weakly as he looked at Alex, he was about to get up and allow him and Juanita to be alone.

"I was lying, Nat" Alex said to Nat's back. Nat was already standing and almost out the door.

Nat stopped and turned to face Alex.

"About what?" he asked a little confused.

"When I said that I didn't want to be your brother…" Alex said.

Nat was speechless.

"…I do want to be your brother."

"I know, Alex" Nat said finding some of his voice.

Alex quietly climbed off his bed and with out warning threw himself on Nat, wrapping him up in a hug.

"I'm sorry Nat," Alex said as his brother hugged him back.

"I know Alex," Nat said, he knew Alex was trying to make amends for everything.

Nat and Alex just stood there hugging for ages.

"Do you blame me Nat?" Alex asked.

Nat knew this question would eventually come.

"No Alex" Nat said softly, "Why do you think that?"

Alex stood there awkwardly, he could see the smug look on Juanita's face.

"After Betty left… and I found out, you told it me it was my fault," Alex mumbled not entirely convinced.

Nat thought back, hard after about 40 seconds he knew why now.

"That was the light you broke, not this," Nat said suddenly.

"Really?" Alex asked looking into his brothers eyes.

"Yeah, it's not your fault mom died," Nat said hugging his brother tighter.

Alex felt as though a huge weight was lifted off him, he had only dreamed he would here Nat say those words.

Alex and Nat continued hug. Alex still had one thing bothering him.

"Is Mr Allen really…" Alex began.

"Yep, I think he felt too guilty for him to want us to know… but I think he wanted to be around." Nat said.

"What?" Juanita said looking confused, she enjoyed watching, but now she was confused.

"Didn't Alex tell you Mr Allen was our uncle?" Nat asked.

Alex looked a bit sheepish.

"No, he was too busy trying to knock himself… did you just say Uncle?" Juanita said shocked.

Nat and Alex laughed and finally broke apart from the hug.

"That's it Alex your going down," Juanita said jumping of the bed and tackling Alex.

Alex laughed as he wrestled with Juanita, without warning he reached out kissing Juanita on the lips.

"What was that for?" She asked flipping Alex on to his back.

"To say thank you," Alex said as he smiled.

Juanita and Alex continued to roll around trying to kiss each other, until they grew hungry at went downstairs.

"You guy's finished playing?" Nat asked smirking as they came downstairs.

"Hell yeah bro," Alex said happily.

"I was wondering Alex, do you want to get the band back together?" Nat asked.

Alex thought about for a while.

"I don't want to be in a band," Alex said quietly.

"What? Why?" Nat asked shocked, Alex loved music and Nat couldn't see why.

"Not yet, I just want to play music and not worry about band stuff… and the press" Alex said quietly.

Nat just nodded, he understood now. But couldn't really see the press giving Alex a break.

"Do you want to them to come over any way?" Nat asked.

Alex shrugged, he wasn't fussed.

"If they want… but tell them to bring food," Alex said, sitting down at his drums again.

"Hey Juanita, want to learn some drum beats?" Alex asked smiling as he looked at Juanita.

Juanita shrugged.

"Why not dawg," Juanita said walking over to Alex, "Where do I sit?"

Alex tapped his lap and smiled.

Juanita smiled and sat down on Alex's lap. Nat was sending txts to every.

Come over… bring food.

He looked up and saw Alex and Juanita together by the drums.

Alex was showing Juanita some beats and having her copy them, both seemed happy to just be able to chill out. 'If there was any two people on the planet made for each other it was Alex and Juanita' Nat reasoned.
