You've been in this comma for weeks now, I miss you, a lot. I don't know what to do without you anymore. It's like you're gone. Even if you aren't, well not all the way at least. I wish you'd just wake up. Your dad has given up on you. If it was up to him, you'd be off of life support. It's our money that has been keeping you alive. I feel wrong for it, but then again I don't know if I could ever let you die, especially if I had choice in it. I love you Rosalina. I always have.

Nat stood, setting down his pen. He was obviously sad. Not that it was a change in emotion since she had been hospitalized. Slowly making his way across the room he stared at her. She had bruises, bad ones. And the scars, horrible.

"I wish you'd wake up, I wish I could take that day back. I didn't mean it when I said I didn't love you. I didn't. I'm stupid, I know. I say things I don't mean, but that's just to hide how I really feel. God I hate this. Look I need you. Even if you don't need me, even if you don't want me.." Nat said, looking for any kind of response, any thing that said she could hear him. That what he was saying got to her. But again, nothing. Her body lied still, stiff, and still where it been placed, three weeks ago.

Sighing he opened the door, exiting. This was still too much for him.

"Hey man, it'll be fine. This will pass, she'll wake up soon. I know it, we know it." Tuffy said, hoping to comfort Nat. Even if he didn't really truly believe what he had just let escape his mouth.

Nat faked a smile, "Yea, thanks Tuffy." He paused, looking around. The band no where in sight. "Where are the guys?" He asked puzzled. They were here an hour ago.

Tuffy shook his head, not wanting to tell him. Knowing he'd be upset. "Band practice."

"BAND PRACTICE, BAND PRACTICE! Rosalina is in a comma and they are worried about practice. What do they even think they are doing, still having practice. Without Rosalina there is no band." Nat said, working up his anger.

"I know how it sounds, but this is how they handle it.. Ya know, some people cry and well, some people have band practice." He said hoping to lighten the mood.

"No, if they want to continue with the band. They can. But I'm out." Nat said turning towards the bathrooms. Storming off into the mens room.


Nat rinsed off his face, calming himself down. Yes he had just took something small and turned it big. But it was how he really felt. They couldn't just start practicing again, like nothing happened. Like Rosalina was never apart of the Naked Brothers Band.

He sighed as he closed his eyes and counted to three, relaxing.

Drying off his face, he made his way back to the hallway not ready for what was waiting for him. There stood the guys. Arms crossed, eyes narrowed. Quassim started, "Nat how could you say that. Duh Rosalina is in the band. Always has been. It's just. We don't want to give up. Like, we have to do this. For her. Its what she would've wanted, Nat. You know it." The rest of the band shook thier heads in agreement, their arms loosening and eyes spreading.

"Yea Nat, we know how you feel about her. How we all feel about her. After all she is a sister to the Naked Brothers." Alex said, patting his brother on the back. Thomas and David, stayed silent. Unsure of what to add. Just knowing that they cared as well.

Nat's eyes began to water. He couldn't help but cry. Such a big part of his life was in danger, hurt, and nearly gone. Rosalina would always be apart of him. He'd never let go.

The band closed in on him, embracing him in a group hug. Letting him know, they'd be there. Always.
