A/N-I DO NOT OWN THE NAKED BROTHERS BAND!
Hey guys!
Sooo, I'm thinking that the next chapter will be the last? Otherwise I'll just be dragging this story on and I don't want to do that. I'll release another story soon too, don't worry. The last chapter will be awhile though because I'm going out of town for a few days next weekend. I hope you all enjoy this story.
So now, this is the SECOND to the LAST chapter!
Enjoy! (:
Nat walked into the apartment, kicked off his shoes, took off his jacket and made his way towards his bedroom but was stopped when Rosalina ran over and grabbed his wrist. "Nat, we need to talk."
"There's nothing to talk about," He said, not looking at her.
"Nat, you promised you wouldn't shut us out like this. Talk to me," She said, keeping her grip on his wrist.
"It's not important. I really don't want to talk about it."
"Nat, look at me," She said quietly.
He looked her in the eyes.
"I can't help you if you won't tell me what's wrong. I want to help. You promised you wouldn't shut me out anymore."
"I know…"
"Then what's going on? What did Emma say?"
"She's moving in two days. What if we can't prove that we should get something from her in two days? What if she leaves for Las Vegas…"
"Nat."
"…before Cooper figures this out? What if…"
"Nat."
"…she leaves and we never see her? What if she stops answering calls?"
"Nat! Calm down," She said, grabbing his shoulders. "Everything will be fine. We'll just call Cooper and tell him what happened. He can do this, we can do this. You can do this."
"Sorry. I get kind of nervous," He said, grinning sheepishly.
She smiled at him. "I can tell. Now look, you need to call Cooper and tell him about this. He called earlier and said he scheduled us to play Alex's new song, so we need to schedule rehearsals. We'll have practices all week and it'll get your mind off things."
Nat nodded. "You're right. I'll just call Cooper and everything will be fine." He pulled out his phone and walked into the kitchen.
Rosalina walked back into the living room and sat on the couch next to Alex.
"Is everything okay?" He asked, not looking at her.
"Emma's moving in two days."
"Two days?" Alex asked in surprise. "How are we supposed to figure this stuff out in two days?"
"That's what Nat is talking to Cooper about now. Hopefully we can figure this out before we have to start practicing for our performance on Saturday. Nat will be way too stressed if he has to handle rehearsals, school, and whatever this is at the same time."
"That's for sure."
Nat walked into the living room.
"Is everything straightened out?" Rosalina asked, looking at Nat as Alex paused his video game and did the same.
"Yeah," The older Wolff brother replied, running a hand through his hair. "We start rehearsals in two days."
"What about Aunt Emma?" Alex asked.
"I'm going to call in sick tomorrow at work so we can go with Cooper."
Rosalina gave Nat a worried look, as she suddenly noticed he looked tired and almost…worn down.
Alex didn't catch on, but nodded. "Okay, cool."
"I'm gonna go take a shower," Nat said, walking towards his bedroom. "I'll be back."
Rosalina stood up from the couch. "I'll be right back, Alex." She didn't wait for a response though as she followed Nat into his bedroom. When she walked in, Nat was sitting on his bed with his head in his hands. "Are you feeling okay?" She asked, walking over and sitting down next to him.
"I'm fine. Just stressed, you know? I'm trying to figure all this stuff out," He said, looking at her.
"I know."
"And I just wish this all wasn't happening at once. If this was at least like…spaced out it wouldn't be so hard, but no it has to happen all at once one problem after another." He put his head in his hands again.
"I'm sorry."
Nat looked up at her again. "Why are you sorry?"
"You don't deserve any of this; especially not all at once. And I feel bad because I can't help you."
"Rosie, you've helped me more than you know. Honestly, you have. I wouldn't be where I am today without you. I would be a mess, I would be disorganized, I wouldn't know what to say, what to do…" He trailed off, looking away. "I wouldn't be happy without you."
"Nat, I'm glad you feel that way but I don't think–"
He looked back at her. "No, you don't understand. You're the reason I'm still trying. You're the reason I'm actually getting out of the house and moving instead of sitting in my room, practically depressed. You have helped me more than anyone, and I love you for that."
Rosalina smiled. "I love you too."
"Do you promise?"
She leaned in and kissed him until they needed to come up for a breath. "Does that answer your question?"
He nodded and smiled. "You're the reason for my smile."
…
Later that night, Nat and Rosalina were getting ready for bed. Nat was lying on his bed already as Rosalina sat on the bed. "How are you feeling, Nat?"
He sat up and gave her a confused look. "I'm fine. Why?"
"Just making sure you're okay."
He laid back down and sighed.
"Good night Nat." She leaned down and kissed his head.
He quickly sat up and leaned on his elbows. "Rosie, you can still sleep in here you know that right?"
"Is this your way of asking me to sleep in here?"
He grinned. "Would you?"
She crawled over to the other side of the bed and lied next to him. "Happy?" She joked.
"Thank you."
"So are you ready for tomorrow?"
He looked at her. "Do I have a choice?"
"Don't worry, it'll work itself out."
"But how do you know?"
"I don't. You just have to believe that it will."
"But what if–"
"Nat, just relax. Don't worry about it. Its tomorrow and it'll be fine. Cooper knows what he's doing."
"You're right. I'm just worried about it."
"It's okay to be worried about it, just not as much as you are." She moved to rest her head on his chest. "It'll work out, I promise."
He kissed her head. "Thank you, babe."
"Nathaniel…"
"Rosie, I wonder if you're ever going to realize that no matter how close we get and no matter how many times you tell me, I'm not going to stop calling you babe."
Rosalina sighed. "Okay fine…good night, Nathaniel."
"Good night babe."
A/N-Eh. Endings aren't my thing.
Review please?!
