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

Hey guys!

Soo...this is kind of a short chapter, but I just wanted to publish it. The next chapter will be longer and probably more important, I promise! (:

Enjoy!

"Nat! I need you, hurry! Come here now!"

Nat ran from upstairs down into the living room, to see what his little brother needed. "What is it? What's wrong? Are you hurt?"

Alex shook his head, smiling up at his brother.

"Then what is it? What do you need?"

"Today we're having a guys' night!" Alex said excitedly.

Nat was confused. "What are you talking about?"

"Alex and I invited the guys over so that you guys could have a sleepover like you used to," Rosalina said, coming up from behind him.

"Well what about you? I'm not just going to kick you out for the night," Nat said, looking at his girlfriend.

"Which is why I'm going to Kristina's for the night," She assured him.

Nat seemed less excited than either of them thought he would be.

"You guys can say gross things, do gross things, talk about girls and whatever, as long as it has no lasting effects on the apartment and I don't hear about it later," She explained.

Nat smiled, but Rosalina could tell it was forced. "Cool, I can't wait."

Alex walked out of the room and was obviously excited.

Nat turned to walk back up the stairs but Rosalina grabbed his wrist. "Hey," She said, pulling him back. "Talk to me. What's wrong?"

"Nothing," He said. "I'm fine. I'm excited."

"You're also lying."

He sighed. "I'm excited for the guys' night, really I am."

"But…?"

"But I'm kind of nervous. I don't know why…but I am."

"It's the guys. They've seen you at your worst, and at your best. They've seen you when…I probably don't even want to know when."

Nat laughed.

"They're your friends. Don't be nervous. They care about you."

"What about you?"

"Me? I care about you."

"No," He shook his head. "I mean what about you? What are you going to do if this is supposed to be an all guys sleepover?"

"I'm going to Kristina's to have a girl's night."

"You're the one who deserves a night off. You stay with the boys all the time," Nat said, pulling her close to him.

"It's because for some odd reason, I put up with all of you," She joked with a smile.

He smiled. "It's because you love me, that's why."

She shook her head. "Mmm….no, I don't think that's it."

He leaned down and kissed her. "That better be the reason."

"How do you know I'm not secretly dating Thomas?" She asked, bringing up their joke.

Nat pulled her into a hug. "Because you're mine, and I'm never letting you go."

She hugged him tightly. "I'd never leave you…I promise."

~NBB~

Later on, all the guys came over and Rosalina was getting ready to go to Kristina's house. She walked into the living room to see all the guys sitting around laughing and talking. "Sorry to interrupt guys, but I just wanted to tell you that I'm leaving."

"Bye Rosalina," the group chorused.

She started walking towards the door as Nat jumped over the back of the couch and walked after her.

"Hey wait," He said, stopping her. "You sure you're okay with all this?"

She nodded. "Of course I am…are you?"

He nodded slowly.

"I promise, I'll be here when you wake up tomorrow. Then tomorrow afternoon we'll go to the wake."

Nat sighed. "I almost forgot about that."

Rosalina smiled sympathetically. "I'm sorry." She kissed his cheek. "Don't worry. Everything will be fine. We'll talk tonight, okay?"

He nodded. "Okay, bye babe. I love you."

She smiled. "Love you too, Nathaniel."

…

"Wow…all that has happened in the past two days?" Kristina asked in shock.

Rosalina had just finished telling her close friend about everything that had happened in the past few days as the girls were hanging out in Kristina's bedroom. Rosalina nodded. "And you can come to the funeral if you want to. The wake is tomorrow and the funeral is the day after."

Kristina nodded. "I will. Most definitely."

"It's gonna be a tough two days."

"How are Nat and Alex holding up?"

"Alex…seems okay. But when he's upset, he gets angry so he needs to calm down. Nat just shuts everyone out, but I've been able to get him to talk about it so I think they're both okay. Alex talks to me about it sometimes but he's been talking to Nat more."

"Well that's good. So…how are you and Nat?"

Rosalina couldn't help but smile. "We're good."

"Good? Just good? Not even great?" Kristina asked.

"Okay…we're really great."

"See, I told you that you guys would work out!"

"I know…everyone told me."

~NBB~

"Nat, come play truth or dare!" Alex called to his brother.

Nat walked into the living room and sat down on the yellow couch. "Okay, fine."

"Okay, I'm starting," David said. "Alex, truth or dare?"

"Truth. There isn't anything that I have to hide."

"Who's your crush?" David asked.

"Dare," Alex said quickly.

The guys laughed.

"Okay, I dare you to tell us who your crush is."

"If I tell you guys, you have to promise you won't tell anybody," Alex said.

"We promise," They all said.

"Just tell us!" Thomas urged.

"It's…Juanita."

"I knew it!" Qaasim said.

"Why didn't you tell me, Alex?" Nat asked.

Alex shrugged. "I didn't want to bother you. Plus I didn't want you to bother me about it either."

Nat ruffled his little brother's hair. "Don't worry about it, bro. Your secret is safe with us."

The guys agreed.

"Okay, it's my turn. Truth or dare, Thomas?" Alex asked.

"Dare."

"I dare you to…"

The night went on for both the girls and the boys. Kristina and Rosalina caught up after not hanging out for so long, and Nat and Alex got their minds off of what was going to happen tomorrow. In the back of his mind, Nat knew that tomorrow was going to be hard. He knew the next day would be even worse. He wished he would've talked to Rosalina about it more. But he also knew that it's not like he'd never have the chance to talk to her ever again. The guys eventually settled down and most of them had fallen asleep, except for Nat. He had tried to fall asleep, really he had. But it just wasn't working. He wondered if Rosalina was coming home tonight. She never really told him whether or not she was spending the night at Kristina's or not. He pulled out his phone to check his messages. Rosalina hadn't responded for an hour. His immediate thought was that something was wrong. But before he could jump to conclusions, he pushed the thought aside. The girls were probably just having a good time, and lost track of what time it was. Everything would be fine. Just like Rosalina said…

Right?

A/N-Ugh, it's short. I don't like it. Lol.

Would you like to review and make my day?

No?

Yes?

Please? (:
