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

Hey guys!

So... I guess you could say I lied. Lol. I honestly thought this chapter would take much longer than it did, but it didn't so...here it is! (:

Oh and one of you asked me what my Twitter name was, but I can't PM you because you weren't signed in, and I have to say that I can't tell you what it is. I'm sorry ): It's just personal, and I hope you understand! (: But no, Nat and Alex do not follow me even though I wish they did. Lol.

I hope you guys like this chapter! A new chapter for "Wipe Your Eyes" should be up soon too! (:

Nat convinced Rosalina that it was too late, and that they should wait until the morning to talk about this.

Rosalina agreed, but only after Nat promised that he'd explain in the morning. So Rosalina went back into the kitchen, only to find Alex asleep at the table and carried him back to his bedroom.

The next morning, right after breakfast, Nat and Rosalina went into Nat's bedroom.

"Okay, explain," She demanded.

"Alright…my dad…you know he died because he got sick right?"

Rosalina nodded.

"I got him sick, Rosie! It's my fault he ever got sick in the first place."

"Nat, you didn't know it was going to get as bad as it did. No one did. That's not your fault. You couldn't help that."

"Yes, I could have! If I would've listened to him and took care of myself, then he wouldn't have had to! If he didn't take care of me, then he would have never got sick and gotten so bad that he spent his last few days in a hospital. And if he never got so sick he would've never died! It's my fault he's gone."

Instead of being angry like she expected him to, Rosalina saw the tears in Nat's eyes.

"If I would've listened…he would still be here," He said quietly.

"It's not your fault, Nat. Really, it's not. So what if you didn't listen, it's what teenagers do. Anyone would've done it. It's an honest mistake."

"You don't get it!" He snapped, standing up from the bed and walking away from her. "My stupidity cost my dad his life. My mistake took my dad away from me and my little brother."

She stood up and walked over to him. "Nat, listen to me. This is not your fault. Your dad made the choice to take care of you because he loved you. It was never your fault. No one knew that your dad would get so sick and no one knew that any of it would happen. You cannot blame yourself for this." She pulled him into a tight hug.

"I'm sorry," Nat whispered as a few tears slipped down his face.

"It's okay," She said, rubbing his back. She pulled away. "Are you okay?"

He nodded, as he quickly walked into the bathroom. "I'm fine…" He sneezed, and then groaned loudly with frustration.

"Are you okay?"

"Just fantastic," He answered sarcastically.

"So then do you want to explain this other story about your uncle?"

Nat walked back into the bedroom and sighed. "I don't know…I just feel bad about it. I can't…" He sighed again. "I feel bad because I was so irritated with him most of the time, and I neglected the time I had with him. And then, when I began finally being okay with him and when everything was finally going right…he's gone. And I can never make it up to him…I can never get the time back…I can never apologize for any of it."

"Nat, he doesn't blame you. I highly doubt he ever did. I mean, yeah, you did have some problems, but you made up and everything was okay. It's not like you were fighting or anything when he died."

"I know…but it's just hard, Rosie."

"I'm sorry you feel that way. But I can tell you right now that blaming yourself for all this stuff, isn't going to make anything better. In fact, it'll make it all worse."

"How do you know though?"

"Because someone told me."

"Who?"

"You."

"What do you mean?"

"When I was twelve, I got this crazy idea that it was my fault my mom died, remember?"

He nodded.

"And it went on for a really long time. I just couldn't stop thinking that it was all my fault. It was my fault she died, it was my fault she was gone, I shouldn't be here, she should. And you, being only ten years old told me that it wasn't my fault."

"I told you that…it was sad that she was gone…"

"But that thinking that way only made everything worse," Rosalina finished for him.

"Wow…so I really did say that didn't I?"

She nodded. "So maybe you should take your own advice, don't you think?"

Nat nodded. "Thank you Rosie."

Rosalina smiled and kissed his head. "You're welcome, Nat."

He sneezed again as he sat on his bed.

"You should really take some more medicine," She said, getting off the bed and walking towards the door.

"Yeah I know." He walked over to her and pulled her close to him. "I have to get better so I can go back to kissing you all the time."

Rosalina couldn't help but blush and smile. "Well at least you have some reason to get better."

~NBB~

"Hey Rosalina?"

"Yeah, Alex?"

"Do you think Nat is okay enough to come out of his room? I want to show him something."

"Sure, I'll go get him." Rosalina stood up from the couch and walked to Nat's room. She knocked softly on the door. "Nat? Are you awake?" She opened the door and looked inside just as Nat was shoving something under his blanket.

"Yeah, I'm awake," He said, looking at her and sitting up.

"Is everything okay?"

Nat nodded. "Yeah, everything's great. Why?"

"Well…Alex said he wanted to show you something out here."

"Okay." Nat got out of bed, careful to cover whatever it was he shoved under there, and followed her into the living room.

Alex was sitting at the piano. "Hey Nat, can I show you something?"

Nat sneezed and then nodded. "Sure Alex. But I'd do it quick though, before I sneeze on it."

Alex and Rosalina laughed.

"Okay, I'll try," Alex said and started playing. "I don't know what you see that I don't. Don't you know money doesn't grow off trees? Where have you been, you've discovered my evil sins, 'cause I don't know what you see that I don't. You told me that you were leavin', that's when I almost stopped breathin', you told me that I was conceited all I can say is that's all I needed. What goes around comes around, I hear you cry the biggest sound. Shut the door make a scene, as your karma makes you scream. Legendary weight you carry as your bones begin to bear it. Love and hope can do you wrong, why I sing this painful song. You told me that you were leavin' that's when I almost stopped breathin', you told me that I was conceited, all I can say is that's all I needed, all I needed, all I needed. Close your eyes with all your cries in all, your lie, wipe the tears as you say cheers despite your fears. You told me that you were leavin', that's when I almost stopped breathin', you told me that I was conceited, all I can say is, you told me that you were leavin', that's when I almost stopped breathin', you told me that I was conceited all I can say is that's all I needed, all I needed, all I needed. You don't have to go."

"That's beautiful, Alex," Rosalina said.

"That's a really great song. When did you write that Alex?" Nat asked, looking at his little brother.

"Just…any time no one was around. I wanted to keep it private but when I finished I really liked it so I wanted to show you guys."

"Well do you think you'd want to show it to the guys? I think this song could be our next single," Nat said.

"Really?" Alex asked excitedly.

"Sure. I mean if you write all the parts for it."

"This is gonna be awesome! Thanks Nat!"

He sneezed again. "Anytime." He walked back towards his room and Rosalina followed.

"That's really nice of you, Nat. I bet it means a lot to him."

"As soon I'm well enough we'll record it. That way I don't have to worry about writing a new song for Cooper, Alex is happy, the fans are happy, and everything's fine."

"You seem to have a new attitude about things…not that I'm complaining, but why so suddenly?" She asked, sitting on his bed.

"Because…I just suddenly have a really good feeling that everything's going to be okay and that the band is just gonna have the best year yet."

"I'm glad you feel that way. Maybe you should call Cooper later and tell him that Alex has a new song."

"Sure but–" He sneezed. "I think I'm gonna need some more medicine."
