A/N-I DO NOT OWN THE NAKED BROTHERS BAND!
Hey guys!
I forgot to mention, I'm basically obsessed with this video that Alex did with his friends. Have you guys heard of the song "Thrift Shop"? Alex and his friends did a "music video" to it at their school. If you go on YouTube and search "Professional Children's School" and scroll down, there should be video just called "Thrift Shop." If you have trouble finding it, PM me and I'll post a link on my profile(: lol it's actually quite funny and Alex is funny in it too.
Anyway, I hope you guys like the chapter! (:
"Dude, you've been sitting there for almost two hours. Give yourself a break."
"No Alex, I have to finish this."
Alex shook his head at his brother.
Nat was sitting at the kitchen table with papers, envelopes, and cards spread out all over it.
"You know when Rosalina gets back she's going to make you stop right?" Alex said, looking at his older brother.
"I know that's why I need to finish it now."
"Nat, c'mon you've been staring at this stuff for hours. You can work on it later. All you're doing is stressing yourself out."
"No I'm not; I'm fine I just–"
The front door opened and both brothers looked to see who had entered the apartment.
Rosalina walked inside and saw the brothers in the kitchen. "Is everything okay?" She asked, noticing their expressions.
"Um…" Nat couldn't think of something to cover it.
"Nat's been sitting here, stressing himself out over these bills for like two hours," Alex answered for him.
"Alex! No I haven't!" He snapped.
Rosalina walked over to them and looked at the mess that covered the kitchen table. "Nat?" She looked at him for an explanation.
He sighed. "I'm fine; I'm just trying to get this done."
"Do you want some help?" Rosalina asked.
He shook his head. "Thanks, but I don't need any help."
"Then why have you been sitting here for almost two hours?" Alex asked.
Nat groaned and put his head in his hands.
"I think I got this one, Alex," Rosalina assured him.
Alex nodded and walked out of the living room.
"Nat," She said softly, sitting down at the table. "What's wrong?"
"There are a bunch of bills that Uncle Miles used to pay," He mumbled, not looking up.
Rosalina glanced at the bills that were in front of Nat. "Nat, maybe Alex is right, maybe you should just take a break for a little while."
He looked up. "Why?"
"Because I don't want you to stress yourself out any more than you already have." She started putting the papers and envelopes into piles. "You can go back to them later."
Nat sighed and nodded.
She stood up from the table and kissed his head. "It's going to get better."
"But when?" He asked, looking up at her.
"Soon, I promise."

Nat listened to rain pound on the windows as he and Rosalina tried to get to sleep. "Hey Rosie?" He whispered.
"Hm?"
"Do you think there's a will?"
She turned her head to look at him. "There has to be."
"Then why can't they find it?"
"I don't know. But I highly doubt your uncle wouldn't write a will. He's smarter than that. And he knew that you guys would be on your own when he died. Well, I think he at least expected your aunt to help you."
"I think something's going on. You're right, Uncle Miles isn't stupid. He knew what would happen if he died, and he would've left a will anyway, I know it."
"You really think there's a reason why your aunt can't find the will?"
"I know there's a reason," He whispered, looking at her. "But I can't think of what it could be."
"Nat, as much as I think you and Alex deserve something from your uncle or even your aunt, I don't know if you want to get into this."
"Why not?"
"If it doesn't come out like we want it to, it'll only stress you out even more," She whispered. "I don't want that to happen to you."
"It won't, I promise."
"Okay…fine."
"Just one question though. Where do we start?"
"We could try talking to Cooper. Maybe he knows someone."
Nat took Rosalina's hand. "Thank you, Rosie."
She smiled. "You're welcome."
~NBB~
"Well…maybe you could start with…I don't know…a lawyer?"
"A lawyer?" Nat asked in surprise. "Do you really think we need a lawyer?"
"As much as I'd like to say no, if you really want something done, a lawyer is the best way to go," Cooper explained over the phone.
Nat sighed. "Really?"
"Well, it's doesn't sound like your aunt is taking you too seriously. She's probably not going to give you the information you want or need if you don't show her you're serious."
"Doesn't getting a lawyer cost a lot of money? Because we don't have a lot of that."
"True…"
"I don't know what to do, Coop. I'm pretty sure that my aunt is hiding something and I want to figure out what."
"Well…I could always help, Nat. I mean, I'm not a real lawyer but I could definitely make a convincing case."
"Could you?"
"Sure. I'd be happy to help you guys out."
"Thanks Cooper, it really means a lot."
"Anytime, Nat. But I have to go because I have to make some calls. I call you when I'm done."
"Okay. Thanks again, Coop." Nat hung up the phone and walked back into the living room.
"So what did Cooper say?" Rosalina asked.
Nat fell onto the purple couch behind her. "He said we should get a lawyer."
"Don't lawyers cost like, a lot of money?" Alex spoke up, leaning over the yellow couch to look at his brother.
"Yep, and that's why Cooper is going to be our lawyer."
"Cooper?" Alex asked in surprise. "He's not a lawyer."
"No, but he's good at getting things done. And he knows how to do all that stuff."
"Well, that's good," Rosalina said, sitting on the edge of the couch.
Nat yawned. "Yeah…it's great."
"Tired, bro?" Alex asked.
He shrugged. "A little."
"Why don't you try getting some sleep?" Rosalina asked. "I know you didn't sleep much last night."
Nat shook his head. "I'm fine."
"Are you sure?" She asked.
He nodded.
She got up walked over to the yellow couch and sat down to watch TV with Alex.
Nat jumped over the back and sat next to her. "That doesn't mean I don't want to sit with you."
She smiled at him and they both turned to the TV.
…
"Rosalina," Alex whispered.
"Yeah?"
"Look."
Rosalina turned her head to see Nat sound asleep next to her on the couch. She took one of the blankets that were sitting folded on the purple couch and put it over Nat and kissed his head.
"Rosie?" He mumbled sleepily, opening his eyes.
"I'm right here. Go back to sleep."
"Thank you," He said, closing his eyes again.
