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

Hey guys!

Okay, so I'm not exactly sure where this story is going, so it's going to slow down a bit. I know that I haven't been updating this story a lot, and I'm sorry. But I'm going to work on finishing "Wipe Your Eyes" because I know how I want that to end, and then I'll finish this story, eventually, and then release a new one. How's that sound? Lol.

Enjoy this chapter!

David, Thomas and Cooper ran through the apartment door.

"Did Nat come in here?" Cooper asked.

"Yeah, he's here," Rosalina said.

"We thought we lost him," Thomas said, walking into the apartment and collapsing onto the couch.

"Is he okay?" David asked, sitting next to Thomas.

"He might be sick again," Rosalina said. "But I think he'll be okay."

"Did he say what happened?" Cooper asked.

Alex shook his head. "He keeps saying nothing's wrong." He glanced at Rosalina.

"We'll get through to him somehow," Rosalina assured them.

"Some morning, huh?" Thomas said.

The band nodded.

"I'm going to go check on Nat," Rosalina said, walking towards Nat's room. She walked inside and made sure to shut the door behind her. She walked into the bathroom to see Nat leaning on the sink, staring at his reflection. "You okay?"

He turned to look at her. "Yeah," He said quietly.

"Have you been sneezing a lot?"

He shrugged.

"Are you feeling okay besides that?"

He shrugged again.

She walked over to him and kissed his forehead. "You don't feel warm at all, so that's something."

Nat nodded.

"Talk to me. What happened? What'd your aunt say?"

He sighed. "It wasn't really anything new. She was just telling me this was my last chance to take her up on her offer of 'help.' But it wasn't what she said to me that got me. At least…it wasn't what she said to me intentionally."

"What do you mean?"

"When we were done talking, I waited for her to hang up, but the thing was, she didn't."

"She didn't?"

"Well, she probably thought she did. But I heard her talking to this guy."

"What were they saying?"

Nat just stared at her.

"C'mon Nat, you can't just close up like this. What did she say?"

He walked past her into the bedroom and fell face first onto his bed. "I don't nt to ay at she id," He said into his pillow.

"Say that again," She said, sitting down on the bed.

"I don't want to say what she said. It makes me angry."

"Was it about your uncle?"

He shook his head.

"Was it about someone we know?"

He nodded.

"Who?"

"Alex…me…you," He mumbled.

"What did she say about us?"

"She was saying all this stuff about how we were being ungrateful brats, and how you were butting into places where you didn't belong and all this other stuff. It made me really angry. That's why I left. I was trying to calm down."

"I'm sorry you heard that."

"Yeah, me too."

"None of its true, you know. The whole 'ungrateful brats' thing isn't true. You guys are just standing up to her and she doesn't like it."

"I know, but don't tell Alex or any of the guys this, okay?"

"But Nat–"

"Rosie, if you tell the guys they'll make a big deal out of it. And if you tell Alex, he'll just get upset which is the last thing I want. Just promise me you won't tell them."

She nodded. "I promise."

"Thank you."

"Hey, you haven't sneezed this whole time. I think you'll be okay."

"No, I think that medicine is kicking in."

"Why?"

"Because I'm really tired, and I just woke up."

Rosalina laughed. "Do you want me to send the guys home?"

"No, I'll come out. I'll probably just pass out while I'm talking."

~NBB~

The guys eventually did leave because Nat fell asleep. Alex kept asking what had happened but Rosalina kept telling him she didn't know because Nat wouldn't say. She hated lying to Alex, but she knew that if she was going to keep her promise to Nat, she had to lie.

"Wait, how did Nat fall asleep? We just got up," Alex said.

"He took some medicine and I guess it's the kind that makes him sleepy," Rosalina said, looking at Nat's sleeping figure.

"He's sick again?"

"We don't know for sure, but I want to make sure if he is, he gets rid of it right away."

"I wonder what Aunt Emma said to him. What could make him so angry?"

Rosalina sighed and shrugged. "I have no clue."

Nat rolled over onto his side and opened his eyes.

"Morning rockstar," She said.

Alex picked up a pillow and tossed it at his brother. "Good morning, Nat!"

He groaned. "Alex, cut it out."

"Somebody's a little cranky," Alex said, getting up from the egg chair and walking into the kitchen.

"How are you feeling?" Rosalina asked, looking at her boyfriend.

He shrugged. "I haven't sneezed yet, so that's a plus."

"Don't speak too soon," She joked.

"Did the guys leave?"

She nodded. "A while ago; they said they didn't want to watch you sleep."

"Well that's reassuring."

"By the way," She glanced over her shoulder. "You should really tell Alex what happened."

"No! I can't. You know I can't," He said quietly.

"You think you can't. But you can. He deserves to know," She whispered.

"All it'll do is make him upset."

"Well he's pretty upset right now, that his older and only brother, his only family, the one he looks up to, won't tell him what's bothering him. So would you rather have him worry about you? Or would you rather have him know the truth about his supposed 'supportive' aunt?"

"I can't tell him."

"Nat, you better go into that kitchen and tell him right now."

"Why?"

"Because Nathaniel, he is your brother, and he's worried about you! And I feel terrible about lying to him, don't you?"

"Yeah, but I get over it."

Rosalina rolled her eyes. "Nat, either you go in there and tell Alex what's going on, or I will."

"You wouldn't dare."

"Wanna bet?" She got up from the couch and ran into the kitchen with Nat right behind her. "Alex, there's something you should–"

Nat cut her off by covering her mouth. "Do; there's something you should do," He finished, wrapping an arm around his girlfriend's waist so she wouldn't get away from him.

"Uh…what is it?" Alex asked, giving him a strange look.

"You should…um…go walk Lucky!" Nat said, grabbing the leash off the counter and tossing it to Alex.

"Okay…if you say so." Alex took the leash and slowly walked towards the door.

Rosalina managed to pull away from Nat for a few seconds. "Alex, wait–"

Nat grabbed her again. "She just wanted to tell you that Lucky is in the Fuzzy Room," He covered quickly.

"Okay…thanks." He walked out of the kitchen and down the hall to the Fuzzy Room.

Nat looked at her. "Now can I trust you? Or do I have to hold onto you until Alex leaves?"

Instead of an answer, Rosalina tried to pry Nat's hand away from her mouth.

"It's not going to happen," He told her.

She dug her nails into his hand, making him pull his hand away in surprise.

"Ow!" He said, holding his hand in pain.

Rosalina pulled away from him and ran down the hall to the Fuzzy Room.

Nat was right behind her and put his hand back over her mouth, wrapped an arm around her waist and pulled her away before Alex noticed either of them. "Rosie, please. I don't ask you to do anything else. Please, don't tell Alex."

She sighed.

"Can I trust you now?"

She nodded.

He took his hand away from her mouth.

"He deserves to know, Nat."

"I know. I'll tell him…eventually."

"Nat," She said in a warning tone.

"Okay, I'll tell him when he gets back from walking Lucky. I promise."

A/N-Well that was interesting, wasn't it?

Do you think so?

Do you want to review?

Please?
