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

Hey guys!

Okay, I think I'm getting worse at writing. I'm having a bad time lately, and it's affecting my writing, I think. So please, bear with me. I'm trying my hardest for you guys.

I hope you like the chapter!

Nat jerked awake and sat up. He looked around. He was still sitting on the couch, with a blanket over him. The apartment was dark. Rosalina was asleep next to him, and Alex was sleeping in the egg chair. The TV was still on but the volume was low.

"Nat?" Rosalina mumbled sleepily, sitting up. "Is everything okay?"

"Shhh…I'm fine. You can go back to sleep."

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah…"

"What are you doing up?"

"I was just…thinking about Uncle Miles…and my dad."

Rosalina yawned and sat up straighter. "You okay?"

He nodded, keeping his gaze on the ground. "Yeah…I miss them though."

"Nat," She said. "Look at me."

He slowly looked up at her.

"It's okay to miss them. It's okay to admit that you miss them. You don't have to be embarrassed about it. Especially not with me."

"It feels like a dream, you know? It feels like it's not real."

"I know, and I wish it wasn't. You don't deserve any of this."

"I feel guilty…I feel like…I didn't spend enough time with him. With either of them. I feel like a neglected them."

"Nat, we've been through this. You couldn't help it. You didn't know that either of them would be here one day and gone the next. No one knew."

"It's just hard."

She pulled him into a hug. "I know and I'm sorry. I would do anything to switch places with you."

"Thank you Rosie," He said pulling back.

"You're welcome. But we should get some sleep."

He pulled her to his chest and wrapped his arm around her. He pulled a blanket over the two of them. "Thank you Rosie."

"You're welcome, Nat."

"Crazy car, to lead me nowhere, lead me nowhere, actually it's made for that, made for that…."

"Hey Coop," Nat said, picking up his phone. "What's up?"

"I've been working on getting some information together about your uncle."

"So what'd you find?"

"Your uncle has a lot of money to his name."

"Well, that's great."

"Except…it all goes to your aunt since they can't find a will."

Nat sighed. "Is that all you found?"

"I also found out that because your uncle was technically your legal guardian, you and Alex should get some of the money."

"Don't we need the will to prove that though?"

"I'm not sure on that part. I'm still working on it."

"Thanks Coop," He said. "Call me when you hear anything else."

"I will, I promise, but Nat–"

"Nat! Can you come here for a second?" Alex called.

"Hold on Alex!" He called back. "What was that Cooper?"

"I said you–"

"Nat, come here now!" Rosalina called this time.

"Cooper, I'm really sorry, but I think I have to go. Whatever this is must be important…"

Rosalina ran into the kitchen. "Nat, come on you have to see this!"

"Okay, okay," He said. "I'll call you back Coop." He hung up and followed Rosalina as she ran back to the living room.

"Look!" Alex said, turning up the volume.

On the TV was a news channel and right that minute, Aunt Emma was being interviewed by a reporter.

"How are you recovering from this tragedy?" The reported asked.

"I'm trying my best to remember better times…it's very difficult to think that he could still be here and one little mistake took his and all these people's lives," Aunt Emma said.

"Do you think this was an accident or planned?"

"Well I sure hope this was a terrible accident. I don't know who would plan such a thing."

Rosalina looked shocked. "Nat, she's–"

"Wait, Rosie," Nat said, not taking his eyes off the TV.

"I just know that I'm thankful for my family, who I've become so much closer with during this terrible times. My husband loved music, and his nephews are in a band. I will always love watching them perform because I know he would too."

"That's a lie!" Alex shouted at the TV.

The screen went back to a reporter in the news studio. "The cause of this major crash has still not been determined. Police are still trying to decide whether this crash was an accident or planned."

Rosalina took the remote from Alex and turned off the TV. "Nat, she's lying! She didn't mean any of that."

"What are you talking about?" He asked, looking confused.

"Yesterday when I went out, I didn't go where you thought I was going. I went to talk to your aunt. She said basically the opposite of all of that."

Nat was shocked. "You went to my aunt's house and you didn't tell me?"

"Yes, and I'm sorry. But yesterday she was saying all these things about how she never planned to give you guys any money or anything. She's even already got a new boyfriend already! That's why she's moving to Las Vegas!"

"She told you all of this?"

"Yes, but I don't know why."

"Rosie…I don't know…that doesn't sound like Aunt Emma…"

"Does anything she's been doing recently sound like your aunt? Did you think she would deny giving you money? Did you think she was going to move away when your uncle died?"

"No."

"Then why don't you believe me when I say that she's said and done all of these things?"

"I-I don't know…it's just…I don't know." Nat was speechless.

"Look Nat," She said, stepping towards him and taking his hand. "I would never lie to you. You know that. And I'm not going to start now. I don't know why she told me all those things. I don't know why she would do all those things either. But mostly, I don't understand why she would do these things when she knew they affected you and Alex, who are the people who deserve help the most."

Nat was still at a loss of what to say.

"Are you gonna be okay?" She asked.

He finally nodded. "Yeah, yeah…I just…I need to think." He turned and walked into his room.

Rosalina sighed.

"Did Aunt Emma really tell you that?" Alex asked.

She nodded. "I don't know why. But she did."

"Does she really have a boyfriend?"

"I don't know; that's what she told me."

"I just don't get why she would tell you all this stuff, but not tell Nat."

"Maybe she didn't want him or you to know?"

"But she knew that you and he were dating."

"I don't know, Alex. I really don't," Rosalina said, sitting on the couch.

"Aren't you going to talk to Nat?"

"I think he actually needs time to think. If he doesn't come out in a while I'll go talk to him."

Alex accepted her answer and turned the TV back on.

…

Nat walked out of his bedroom and back into the living room.

Rosalina and Alex were both asleep with the TV on.

He walked over to the couch, leaned down and kissed his girlfriend's head.

She slowly opened her eyes and looked up at him.

"Did I really take that long?"

She smiled weakly. "No, I guess I was just tired."

Nat fell onto the couch next to her.

"Did you have a good time thinking?" She asked, looking at him.

"Yeah, I guess so. But I forgot to tell you. Cooper said he found out that since Uncle Miles was Alex's and my legal guardian, we should get some of the money he left."

"Don't you need a will though?"

"He's still working on that part…"

"Don't worry. I think Cooper will pull through on this."

"I know he will. I trust him."

"I'm sorry for not telling you I went to your aunt's house," She said, looking down.

"It's fine; I was the one who kind of over-reacted."

She looked back up at him. "No, you were just confused."

"Yeah, but I almost believed my 'loving' aunt, over my best friend."

"Nat, it's okay really. I don't blame you or anything."

"Thank you."

Rosalina looked over at Alex who was still sleeping in the egg chair. "Don't you think we should wake him or something?"

"Wait." Nat grabbed a pillow and slowly walked over to the egg chair.

"Nat, c'mon, grow up. Don't hit him," Rosalina said.

"Oh, so it's okay for him to hit me but I can't hit him back?" Nat joked.

"He's eleven, Nat. You're fourteen."

"So? He's going to be twelve in a few weeks anyway."

"And then a month later you'll be fifteen. Leave him alone, Nat."

Before Nat could respond, he felt something hit him in the back.

"I win!" Alex shouted.

Rosalina laughed.

Nat didn't seem to think it was so funny. "How did you…but how did he…Rosalina!"

"What, you were the one who wasn't looking. It's not my fault."

"That's it, now I have to get both of you back," Nat said.

"No way! Get him Alex!"

"Attack on Nat!" Alex shouted, throwing a bunch of pillows at his older brother.

Nat made his way through his brother's attack of pillows and over to the couch. He pulled Rosalina into a standing position and held her in front of him by her waist. "One more pillow and the girl gets it," He said with fake seriousness.

Alex froze in place, contemplating what to do.

"Let me go!" Rosalina laughed, trying to free herself from Nat's grip.

He kissed her cheek. "Never!"

"Is that a threat or a promise?" She joked, looking at him.

"Let's just say, I don't make threats."

A/N-Well...
