A/N-I DO NOT OWN THE NBB!

Hey guys!

Two updates in one day! I'm on a roll! Lol enjoy!

"Nat, Nat…wake up please…wake up…"

"What's the matter?" Nat answered, sleepily.

"I had another nightmare," Rosalina mumbled.

"Don't be embarrassed, it happens to everyone," He said softly.

"Yeah, but not this often."

"Are you still upset about what happened today?"

"A little."

"Do you want to talk about it?"

"Josh came…and…he…"

"You don't have to finish that," Nat interrupted her, shaking his head.

Rosalina sighed again as they both repositioned themselves into a more comfortable position.

Nat was holding Rosalina's hand and she was between the wall and him, so that she felt a little safer. "If you wake up again, don't be afraid to wake me up, okay?"

She nodded.

"And especially since the doctor said so, don't try to get up by yourself."

Rosalina rolled her eyes. "Yes, sir."

He kissed her temple, which caught her by surprise. "Good night, Rosie."

"Night."

Rosalina woke up and looked around Nat's room. It was still dark in the room, like Nat always kept it, but it was definitely still dark outside. She knew that he was still sleeping, and even though he told her that it was okay if she woke him up, she really was starting to feel like a bother to him. She'd woke him up every time she had a nightmare or couldn't sleep, and she just didn't want to push her luck with him. She slowly and cautiously sat up in bed. Making sure Nat was still sleeping, Rosalina cautiously crawled over Nat's sleeping body, hopped towards the door and hopped down the hallway. Just before she reached the bathroom—

"What are you doing, Rosalina?"

She turned.

Alex was standing there in his pajamas and he'd obviously just woken up because his hair even more messy then it usually was.

"I'm just going to the bathroom, what are you doing?"

"Didn't the doctor say you had to stay off your ankle?" Alex said quietly, with his arms crossed over his chest.

"Yeah, and I am."

He shook his head. "Rosalina, your hopping."

"Alex, c'mon. You and I both know that Nat is probably loosing sleep because I have to wake him up to help me do everything."

"We both know Nat will probably lose his head, when he finds you standing on one foot in the hallway. Especially when it was doctors orders to keep off your ankle."

"What are you guys doing?" Nat had woken up and found Alex and Rosalina in the hallway. He scanned both of their positions. "Rosie, why are you standing on one foot?"

"I had to go to the bathroom."

Alex shook his head again.

"Alex, head back to bed." Nat nudged his brother.

The younger Wolff brother disappeared down the dark hallway back to his room.

"Nat—"

"Rosalina, I told you I don't care if you wake me up. Why didn't you?"

"Because, like I told Alex your always up with me at night because I can't sleep or I have to go to the bathroom or I had a nightmare, it's embarrassing! I hate having to wake up you up all the time. You're probably losing sleep because of me! It's ridiculous that I can't go to the bathroom by myself. I know you said you don't care and that it's fine. I know the doctor said I shouldn't stand on my ankle, otherwise it won't heal. But I just need to do some things on my own!" Rosalina whispered, with a slightly angry tone.

Nat sighed.

She could only see his figure outlined in the dark hallway but she could tell he wore a disappointed expression on his face.

"Just wake me up anyway, just so I can make sure you don't fall when your hopping," Nat decided finally.

"Please, I think I can hop perfectly fine," Rosalina said as she hopped once on her foot.

"Rosalina, I've known you since you were eleven. You can also be kinda clumsy."

She grinned. "Fine, I'll wake you up." She turned and continued wobbling down the hall into the bathroom. Just before she shut the door she whispered, "You're the one who fell over because you were nervous about the VMAs."

Nat stood in the hallway as she shut the door, leaning against the wall and shook his head.

The next morning Jesse came early with groceries for breakfast. After breakfast however there was still no other food in the house. Jesse agreed that she would take Alex and go grocery shopping and she would drop him off at the skate park on the way there. Rosalina convinced Nat that she would try to help clean the house.

A few days passed and the band was around the apartment all the time. Cooper was definitely counting on Rosalina's ankle healing so they could get some gigs in as soon as possible. Mr. Wolff spent most of his time out, whether it had to do with 'business' or he was trying to help Mr. Tai.

Nat literally forced Rosalina to stay off her ankle and it finally healed properly. And as soon as it was, Cooper was trying to schedule rehearsals and gigs just to get the band on track. Rosalina was taking advantage of it and helped Nat as much as possible.

Rosalina and Nat had to grow up pretty quickly in the past few days as well because with Mr. Wolff out all the time and Jesse being too busy, they were left with the all the chores. They cleaned, shopped, and made sure that Alex stayed…well, out of trouble and clean. It was a little stressing, but they didn't complain. They thought it was a little fun to get a taste of living basically on their own. But between that, and Cooper scheduling rehearsals and gigs left and right, it began becoming less fun and more tiring.

One the evening, Nat came out of his room, laid his stomach on the couch and put his head down.

Rosalina walked over to Nat and sat on the floor next to the couch. "What's up?"

Nat sighed. "Nothing."

"Obviously there is, because you look a little depressed and pretty tired."

He turned to lay on his back. "How do you know?"

"Cause I've known you since you were nine."

"Well, if you really want to know I am tired because I'm technically living on my own and have to take care of my little brother, our apartment, run a band, play rehearsals and gigs, and still manage to sleep."

"If it makes you feel any better I'm basically going through the exact same thing."

Nat looked at her.

"Except I'm two years older, Alex isn't my brother, and I don't get to put myself in the crazy position of calling myself band leader. And I'm going to help you. You're not going to do it alone."

He sighed again. "But you can leave any time you want. You can get away from it, I can't."

"Okay, technically, I can't leave, but I wouldn't even if I could."

"What do you mean?"

"First of all, this basically is my home. I literally grew up here. Well, I mean you know at first I just came because Josh did but you know. But I can't leave because my apartment has too many memories in there."

Nat gave her a confused look.

"Plus, I like being here."

"Why?"

"Nat, quit being so negative. I like being here because you're here and I feel safe here. There's always something happening here too."

"Wait, what'd you say?" Nat asked, sitting up from the couch.

"There's always something happening here…?"

"Before that."

"I feel safe here…?"

"Before that."

"Oh, I like being here because you're here."

"Really?"

"Yeah, you're my best friend and my boyfriend; how much more proof do you need?"

"Well…"

Rosalina rolled her eyes and kissed his cheek. "Better?"

"Much, thank you."

She sat next to him on the couch. "Look at it this way, the house is clean, we have all the groceries we need, Alex walked over to the skate park with Juanita, and the guys are all out today."

"What do you mean?"

"It's nice and quiet. If you want, I'll even go sit in the kitchen if you want to be alone."

"No, no, I'd much rather spend it with you," Nat said, wrapping an arm around her.

"Good, because I'd be bored in the kitchen."

"Did you notice we've been in a lot of chaos lately?" Nat asked suddenly.

She sighed. "Yeah, I know."

"It's not your fault so don't think that."

"But—"

"But nothing. It's not your fault. You just got roped into everything."

"Yeah, but it's my fault that you got roped into everything."

"No it's not."

"Yes it is! If I had just gone to my dad, like I should've, then you wouldn't have had to worry about me all the time."

Nat shook his head. "I don't have to worry about you all the time. I want to worry about you all the time, because I care about you. I'm glad you came to me, even though I'll side with you that you should've gone to your dad sooner. I'm happy you trust me enough to tell me."

Rosalina looked down.

"Hey, don't be upset about anything."

"Thanks Nat," She said, looking up at him and smiling.

The phone ringing interrupted their conversation.

Nat got up to pick it up. "Hello? No, he's out of town. I'm Alex's brother…What? Is he okay? Yes, um…we'll be there soon. Okay, thanks, bye."

"Who was it?" Rosalina asked.

"It was the hospital. Alex was in skateboarding accident."

A/N-Okay well, this story will be ending soon. I have no idea when but I'm in the process of finishing up. After I finish this story, I will begin writing 'Mystery Girl' (you can read the summary on my profile).

Leave a review! I'll update again when I get three reviews!
