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

Hey guys!

Well, first of all sorry for the late update. And it's not even that good of a chapter...

But ANYWAY: The late update is for a few reasons: 1) I was on writer's block. 2) I was watching the Kids Choice Awards on Nickelodeon. lol.

I remember when Nat was nominated for Favorite TV Actor. Too bad he didn't win... ):

Okaaay, so moving on.

Enjoy the chapter! (:


"Nat, wake up."

At first, he thought maybe he could ignore it.

"Nat, c'mon…I know you don't want to be around today, but you have to. C'mon, get up," She whispered into his ear.

He sighed, rolled onto his back and rubbed his eyes.

"Good morning rockstar," She greeted.

"What's so good about it?"

"Whatever happened that boy who said 'the sun will find us all eventually?' Or 'if you can make it through the rain then you can make it through the sun?'" Rosalina asked.

"That was a long time ago. That kid's changed. He grew up," Nat said.

"Well even if he did, the saying still goes. You just have to hold on. It'll get better in the end."

He scoffed. "Sure it will."

Rosalina frowned. "Fine, but you still have to get up." She climbed over him, got off the bed and walked out of the room.

Nat sighed. Great, now Rosalina's mad at me already. Good job, Nat. He thought. He got out of bed and trudged over to his closet to get ready for the funeral. He wished it wasn't this morning, but he knew that he couldn't change it now.

After changing, he walked into the kitchen to see Rosalina already dressed and she set down a bowl of cereal in front of Alex who looked half awake.

She walked past him, and into the bathroom without saying a word.

"What did you do?" Alex asked sleepily.

"What do you mean?" Nat asked, getting himself a bowl of cereal.

"She's obviously mad at you. Or at least ticked off. You must've done something."

"I was being myself, that's the problem."

"What are you talking about?"

"I was upset this morning because I didn't want to get up. I think it probably has something to do with the fact that I was being really negative about today."

"Well, you better make up before the funeral," Alex said, tossing his bowl into the sink.

"Why do you say that?"

"Because we all know you're going to be a mess, and Rosalina's the only you'll talk to. If you don't have her, you'll lose it."

Nat, Rosalina, Alex and Jesse were on their way to pick up Cooper, Thomas, David and Qaasim for the funeral. Rosalina still hadn't said much to Nat at all. Even after they'd picked up the guys, she still didn't look at him. The closer they got to the church, the more nervous Nat became.

Rosalina took his hand.

He looked down at their hands and up at her.

"Just relax. Everything will be fine," She whispered.

"So are we okay?"

She nodded. "I'm sorry," She whispered.

"I deserved it," He said quietly.

"No you didn't."

"Actually, I did and I'm sorry. Maybe the sun will find us all eventually."

Rosalina smiled.

Jesse pulled into the church and they all got out of the car.

The wind was beginning to get stronger, and dark clouds were still in the sky like yesterday. Suddenly the church bell began to ring, signaling it was ten o'clock.

They all walked into the church and took seats in the front.

When they sat down, Nat noticed the casket in the front of the church. He wanted to look away, but he just couldn't.

"Nat," Rosalina whispered to him. "You okay?"

He nodded, finally taking his eyes off of the casket. He watched the priest come in and take his place in front of the church. He didn't hear what the priest was saying though. He kept his focus on the ground. He didn't want to hear any more about death. Nat wasn't in the mood for hearing about death. Suddenly Rosalina squeezed his hand.

"They want you to go say a few words about your uncle and then we're going to perform," She whispered.

He nodded and stood up and walked over to the podium. What was he supposed to say? He hadn't prepared for a speech. "Uncle Miles and I didn't always have the best relationship. When we were younger, my little brother idolized my uncle because he thought he was so much cooler than my dad." Nat looked at Alex, who looked away with a grin on his face. "But then we realized that…Uncle Miles wasn't as cool as he seemed…that is, until my own dad died." He looked at Rosalina, who gave him an encouraging smile. "When my father died, Uncle Miles became responsible for my brother and me. At first, we went through some rough times because my uncle didn't support me and my love for music. But after some help from my friends, he was able to see how much I truly loved music. He and even my dad inspired me to continue with music. Now this song I'm about to perform was a song written by my mom who is also no longer with us, but I know that she, my dad, and Uncle Miles are all listening from Heaven." He looked at Rosalina who nudged the guys and they all walked over to where their instruments were set up.

Nat walked over to the piano and began playing. "I know this, was supposed to be fun. I know our, our troubles are done. But I don't, feel right. I know we were gonna, be alone, together. I miss my family. I miss my family. Not that you're not enough, but the road's so far and we couldn't walk it. We're in the middle of nowhere. I have mixed feelings right now. I know we've been planning this for oh so long. I know we were gonna be alone, together. I miss my family. I miss my family. Not that you're not enough, but the road's so far and we couldn't walk it. We're in the middle of nowhere. I miss my family. I miss my family. I miss my family. Not that you're not enough, but the road's so far and we couldn't walk it. We're in the middle of nowhere. We're in the middle of nowhere. We're in the middle of nowhere."

The band finished and everyone in the church began to clap. They walked back to their pew and sat down.

"You did well," Rosalina whispered, glancing at him.

"You think?"

She nodded. "You were strong. I'm proud of you. So are your parents; your uncle too."

"Thanks Rosie."

"You're welcome."

After the service was over, some of the Wolff's relatives carried the casket out and eventually the crowd began filing out too. Before Nat could make it out though, someone put a hand on his shoulder. He turned and saw the priest whom he knew as Father Rick.

The priest was also someone Nat talked to when his father died.

"Hello Nat. It's good to see you again. Not under the circumstances of course."

Nat nodded.

"Nat, I'm going to go find Alex. I think he got ahead of us," Rosalina said, as she kissed his cheek.

"Okay, I'll catch up with you guys."

"You two seem very close," Father Rick observed as he and Nat watched Rosalina walk out of the church.

"She's my girlfriend…she's been with me through a lot. I don't know what I'd do without her."

"It's always good to have someone who we can talk to about anything."

Nat grinned. "She's that someone."

"How have you been holding up, Nat?"

Nat's grin faded as he looked at the pastor. "I'm…hanging in there."

"I'm sorry to see this happen so soon after your father's death. But I can tell you that this will only make you stronger."

"But how? All this is doing to me is…" Nat trailed off, knowing he couldn't go into much more detail.

"Is something wrong?"

He shook his head. "It's nothing."

"I seem to remember you were the boy who said 'the sun will find us all eventually.' It applies to a lot more than you think," Father Rick said.

Nat shrugged at the mention of the song again. "I'm not so sure sometimes."

"Nat, I want you to stay with that girlfriend of yours."

"What do you mean?"

Father Rick looked down the aisle.

Nat followed his gaze to see Rosalina standing next to Alex, talking to the guys and laughing.

"She cares about you Nat. Anyone who has seen you two together for even a few minutes will know that. When your father died, and you two weren't together, it was obvious you were closed off. It's obvious that being with her is better for you. It's obviously for Alex too."

Nat watched as Rosalina bent down to talk to Alex. "Yeah…she's…my best friend." He smiled.

"I'll let you get back to your friends and family. Remember 'be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.'"

"Thanks Father Rick. I'll remember that." He walked over to Rosalina and the guys and took Rosalina's hand.

"You okay?" She whispered.

He nodded.

Rosalina, Nat, Alex and Jesse drove back to the apartment after dropping off the guys at their houses.

"I need to get this tie off!" Alex said, tugging at the tie around his neck.

Rosalina laughed. "Let me help you." She kneeled down in front of Alex to help him with his tie.

Nat trudged off to his room and shut the door behind him.

Rosalina and Alex looked at each other. "You should go talk to him," Alex said.

"You'll be okay?" She asked.

He nodded.

Rosalina stood up and walked after Nat into his room. She walked inside to see Nat sitting on the bed with his head in his hands. She walked over and sat next to him. "You made it. It's over."

"It's not over. Not by a long shot," He mumbled.

"Well we're closer to the end."

"We?"

"You and I are in this together, Nat; you, me, Alex, the guys and even Jesse."

"Thanks, but I don't know if that helps much."

She kneeled behind him again and began rubbing his shoulders. "Your way too stressed."

"I can't help it."

"Just relax, Nat. The worst is over."

"But it's just beginning. I mean, everything is changing. We all finally adjusted to Dad not being around, now Uncle Miles is gone too."

She stopped rubbing his shoulders. "Don't think about that right now, okay?"

He nodded and sighed.

"You gonna be okay?" She asked, moving to sit beside him.

"Yeah…I'll be okay."

Rosalina kissed his cheek. "If you ever want to talk, you know I'm here, right?"

He nodded again and stood up. "I'm going for a walk, okay? I'll be back soon."

"Okay, but be careful and stay warm. The last thing we need is for you to get sick."

"I promise." Nat kissed her forehead. "I'll be back later." He walked out of his bedroom and out of the apartment.

Rosalina walked out of the bedroom and into the living room, where Alex was sitting.

"What happened?" He asked.

"Nothing…he just needs some space," She said. Alex seemed to accept her answer, but Rosalina couldn't help but walk over to the window and look out to see Nat walking away down the street.
