After the Press conference Nat was talking to Cole, he was dreading the moment when he would have to return home.
"So how did Alex take it?" Cole asked
"Take what?" Nat asked absentmindedly.
"Take being dumped from the band," Cole asked slightly exasperated.
"ahhhh, I don't know I haven't told him yet." Nat said uncomfortably.
"You what!" Rosalina said stunned as she overheard. "Nat Wolff you told us you had."
"You don't know what Alex is like." Nat said.
"Nat I have known Alex since he was six, now you are going to go and tell him" Rosalina said nostrils flaring.
Nat knew when he was beat and dejectedly turned to go home.
"Wait up Nat, I'll come with, I'd like to see Alex" Cole said following Nat.
"Not like this you don't" Nat said, remembering the Cole last joined the band after Alex had come off the sodaholics cruise.
Nat and Cole reached the Wolff apartment and slowly pushed the door open. Alex was practically coma'd on the sofa, empty can all around him, and a puddle of the soda on the floor.
Nat and Cole quietly shut the door and walked over to Alex.
"Alex?" Nat said quietly as he knelt down to his brother.
Alex barely opened one eye and seeing Nat rolled over to look away from him.
"Come on Alex, I want to talk" Nat said slightly shaking his brother.
Alex just groaned and tried to bury himself deeper in the sofa.
"I guess he knows" Cole said quietly.
"Damn right he knows!" Juanita hissed. "He's only said one thing since he saw you on TV,"
Nat recoiled in shame as Juanita hurled abuse at him. He had to put up with it most the day until she left shortly before dinner.
