A/N-I DO NOT OWN THE NAKED BROTHERS BAND!

Hey guys!

So...I wanted to make Alex have a bigger role in this story because I feel like I neglect him too much and I love Alex(: so yeah, hopefully this gives him a bit of the spotlight for a little bit. (:

Enjoy!

"Nat, are you sure you're okay?"

The band was on their way to the studio to record Alex's new song. And as usual, Cooper was worried that something would go wrong. But this time, Rosalina almost agreed with him. Nat had insisted that he was okay enough to record the song, but he seemed off all morning.

Nat nodded. "I'm–" He sneezed. "fine."

"You're sure?" The manager asked again.

Nat ran a hand through his hair. "Yeah, Cooper."

Rosalina looked at her boyfriend curiously. "You're sure you don't feel warm?"

He shook his head quickly. "Nope, I'm fine."

Cooper and Rosalina left it alone as they reached the studio.

Once they got there the band got into the booth and were about to play the song, when Nat stopped.

"Hey guys, I'll be right back, okay?"

"Sure Nat," Cooper said, looking up from the sound controls. When Nat left, Cooper looked at Rosalina. "Do you think he's okay?"

She shook her head. "But if he feels okay enough to record, I'm not going to stop him."

"So what do you think of Alex's new song?" He asked.

"I think it's really good. I don't know where he got the inspiration from, but I think it's a really meaningful song."

"I haven't heard the whole thing yet."

After a while, the band and Cooper noticed that Nat wasn't back yet. The band came out of the recording booth.

"Where's Nat?" Alex asked.

"I'm not sure," Cooper said shrugging. "He said he'd be right back."

"I'll go look for him," Rosalina offered, walking out of the room. She walked towards the bathrooms. She knocked on the boys' bathroom door. "Nat? Are you okay in there?"

No one responded.

"Nat?" She asked, cautiously opening the door.

Nat was lying on the floor of the bathroom.

"Nat!" She said, running over to him. "Nat, are you okay?"

He didn't respond.

Rosalina leaned close to his chest. She could hear him breathing, which made her sigh in relief. "Nat, please wake up…please."

Nat still didn't respond.

Rosalina knew she had to think fast. What should she do? Call for help? Try to wake him herself? She shook his shoulders. "Nat, wake up!"

His head turned so he was looking up at her, and he opened his eyes.

"What happened to you?"

"Isn't it obvious? I was napping."

"You know if you weren't sick, I would hit you," She said. "Now seriously what happened?"

"I seriously fell asleep. Well…I didn't just fall over and sleep, but I guess I was just so tired…I fainted."

"Are you okay? Did you hit your head?"

He slowly sat up. "No, I'm fine."

"I knew you weren't feeling well. Why didn't you tell me? Why did you push yourself so hard?"

"I didn't think this was going to happen. I just thought we'd record Alex's song and I'd go back to bed."

"How are you feeling now?"

"Okay…a little shaky though."

"Alright, well you have to go back to the apartment."

"No! We can't! You know how important this is to Alex. I can't take it from him."

"But Nat, you can't record the song now."

"But I could try…for Alex."

She kissed his cheek. "You're a good big brother, Nat."

He grinned. "Yeah…I know."

She stood up and helped him up.

"Thank you Rosie."

"You're welcome. Now c'mon, let's go record that song."

The band recorded the song without any more problems. Nat, even though he didn't want to tell the band, insisted he should really go home and lie down. The band agreed, and Jesse drove them all home. When they got back to the apartment, Alex and Rosalina helped Nat into his bedroom.

"Thanks guys," Nat said, as he got into bed.

"Anytime, bro," Alex said.

"I'm sorry I almost messed up your song," He apologized.

"It's cool, Nat. I know it's not your fault. And you recorded the song anyway. How many people do that?"

"Just get some sle ep and we'll be back later, okay?" Rosalina said, kissing Nat's head.

"Yes ma'am," He joked as he lied down.

Alex and Rosalina walked towards the door, but Nat stopped Rosalina. "Rosie?"

"Yeah, Nat?" Rosalina said, as Alex walked out of the room.

Nat stayed silent for a few minutes and then said, "Nevermind."

"If you're sure…"

"Thank you babe," He joked with a grin.

"You're pushing it, Nathaniel," She said walking out of the room.

"Sorry Aunt Emma, Nat can't come to the phone. He isn't feeling well. Okay…I'll tell him. Okay, bye." Alex hung up the phone and walked back to the living room where he and Rosalina were watching TV.

"What did your aunt want?" She asked him as he sat down on the couch.

"She wanted to talk to Nat, but I told her that he couldn't talk, so she said to have him call back as soon as possible."

"Did she say why?"

Alex shook his head. "It's probably about the funeral or something."

"I doubt Nat wants to talk about the funeral anymore."

"I don't blame him. I don't either."

"How are you taking this Alex?"

"Taking what?"

"Everything. I mean, we both know Nat's…you know…but what about you? He was your uncle too."

Alex seemed a little surprised. "Um…well…I don't know. I miss Uncle Miles. I'll miss him coming to our shows and stuff. And I know with him gone, Nat's going to be more stressed out than ever. I hate seeing Nat like this too. He doesn't deserve to have all this stress on him."

"I know what you mean."

"And I mean, you know how last summer we had that whole…problem with Child Protective Services?"

She nodded.

"Besides being mad about it…at first I thought it'd be okay because I'd be one less thing for Nat to worry about. But then when I saw how Nat took the news…I knew I was wrong. I didn't know he cared that much about me."

"Of course he cares about you, Alex. You're his brother. How could he not care about you?"

"I just thought I was the last thing on his mind…with everything else going on."

"Last summer, and still today I'm pretty sure you're the first thing on his mind."

"Really?"

"Yeah, I mean didn't you see him today? He was so tired that he fainted in the bathroom, and still wanted to record your song because he wanted you to be happy. And last summer, when you were staying at my house, he called all the time to check on you when we weren't with him. Nat cares about you so much, Alex. Don't ever doubt that."

"I won't. Thanks Rosalina."

"You're welcome."

"I wish there was something we could do to help Nat though."

"I think the best thing we can do right now is be there for him."

"I can do that."

A/N-Awww, see I love Alex!(: lol. I mean, how can you not?

Review because you guys are awesome? (:
