Nat left later that day to meet up with the rest of the band, because the band still several concerts to play in New York they were hoping to get in a bit of jam session to ease the pressure.
"Hey Nat… where's Alex?" Rosalina asked kissing Nat on the check.
"Crashed on the couch, were I left him" Nat sad moodily.
"That bad huh?" Rosalina replied.
"He like drank 15 before nine" Nat said
"How did he get the soda on the bus?" Qassim wondered out loud.
"He said he was making a scavenger hunt to thank you guy's for helping him with the polar bears" Jessie said casually.
"That two faced rat" Nat said getting annoyed.
"And you believed him?" Thomas replied.
"Well his eyes were all sparkly" Jessie said defensively.
"I thought you said you'd never trust a person with sparkly eyes again" Rosalina said.
"Guys!" Cooper called "We need to work out what we are going to do"
"We have to get Alex cleaned up," Qassim said,
"Yeah we can't rely on him being soda free for our next gig," David said
"Yeah he'd probably destroy the stage before the concert even started" sniggered Thomas.
"We have to cancel the concerts" Cooper said,
"We've already missed out on one because of Alex… I don't want to miss more because of him," Nat said annoyed.
"Could we replace him… I mean temporarily" Thomas said catching on to the bands horrified reaction. "I know he's the best drummer, but couldn't we just use someone who knows the beats until Alex is clean"
The band thought about it for a minute, thinking it was a half good idea.
"But who?" Qassim asked.
"How about Cole?" Rosalina suggested.
"Cole can play the drums?" Thomas asked.
"Yeah, Alex was teaching him," Nat said liking the idea of playing once again with Cole.
"Nat talk to Cole, I'll schedule a press conference for tomorrow." Cooper said pulling out his phone.
Cole had been reluctant to do so, but in the end Nat convinced him and he was coming out from Connecticut.
