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

Hey guys!

Well...this chapter is sort of a filler too...but oh well. Hopefully I get inspired soon.

You guys might like the ending though...(:

Oh, and Nat and Alex have a concert tomorrow in NYC. Is anyone going?

Nobody's POV

Nat nodded in understanding. "I think you just don't want it to be true. I don't blame you."

"I just don't get it. Why would my dad do that?"

"I wish I knew," He sighed.

"Nat, I–"

"Shhh, wait Rosie," Nat interrupted her.

They both remained silent, as Nat strained to listen.

"Daniel, I just think that maybe you should get some help. You really scared Rosalina yesterday," Mr. Wolff's voice drifted upstairs to them.

Nat walked over to the top of the staircase and listened downstairs to his father's conversation.

"Sonny, I don't know what you're talking about," Mr. Tai's voice was heard now.

Rosalina's eyes widened, as Nat looked up at her.

"You're saying you don't remember anything from yesterday?"

"Yes, I do. I remember wondering when and why Rosalina hadn't come home yet. Nothing else happened."

Nat couldn't take it. He stormed down the stairs and into the living room where Mr. Tai and his dad were standing.

"Nat, wait no!" Rosalina called, running after him.

"Mr. Tai, do you really not remember anything from yesterday?" Nat asked, slightly angrily.

Rosalina stopped behind him.

"No."

"Nothing at all?"

Instead of answering, Mr. Tai looked at his daughter who was standing behind Nat. "Rosalina? Why haven't you called at all? I've been worried sick." He took a step towards her.

Rosalina hid behind Nat and whimpered quietly.

"Nat, take Rosalina into your bedroom. I need to talk to Mr. Tai," Mr. Wolff said.

Nat wordlessly took Rosalina by her shoulders and guided her into his bedroom. He shut the door behind them.

"Nat, I…I can't…" Rosalina tried to say, as she began pacing around the room.

"It's okay, Rosie."

"No, it's not. I just…I don't know if I…" She shook her head.

"Rosalina, just calm down, everything will be okay."

"But what if…he…tries something?"

Nat sat her down on the bed. "I don't actually think he realizes what he did. I don't think he remembers it."

"What do you mean?"

"I don't think your dad remembers what he does when he's drunk."

Rosalina didn't respond. Could this be true? Could this be why he never apologizes or talks about the things he does when he's drunk? She looked up at Nat. "I have to talk to him."

"Rosalina, I don't–"

"Just come with me," She pleaded. "Please."

Nat remained silent.

"Nat, please. If I don't do this now, I might never get the courage to do it again."

"Are you sure?"

She nodded.

"Okay. Wait a second though." Nat got up, opened the bedroom door slightly, then opened it wider and took Rosalina's hand and led her to the living room.

"Dad?" Rosalina said, stepping towards her father.

"Rosalina, I need to talk to you." He took a step toward her again, but Rosalina took a step back into Nat.

"No. I have to say something first."

Mr. Tai nodded.

"I don't know who made you drink. I don't know why you drink so much until you get drunk. I don't know why you did the things you did. But I have to tell you…I can't take it anymore. I can't keep giving you more and more chances, just so that you can…invite your friends over and they can…" Rosalina trailed off as she tried to hold back tears. She took a deep breath. "So they can tie me up…and you just stand there and watch. Or so you can slap me, hit me, push me, and just…hurt me, over and over and over again. I can't do it."

"Rosalina, please. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to do it. I promise I won't ever–"

"Don't say you promise you won't ever drink again, because you and I both know you will."

"Rosalina…you don't know how sorry I am. I didn't realize how much it hurt you. I didn't know that I was hurting you at all."

"I know."

"I'm so sorry," He said, taking a step towards her.

She tried to step back again, but Nat was right behind her. She whimpered as he hugged her.

"It's okay," He whispered. "He won't hurt you." He looked up at his father, who nodded at him. "C'mon, Rosie."

Rosalina followed him back into the bedroom.

"Are you okay?" Nat asked.

She nodded. "Just a little…"

"Scared?"

"Yeah."

"You were very strong out there when you were talking to him. I didn't think you were that set on talking with him."

"I was," She said. "I had to get it out. If I didn't, I probably wouldn't ever have done it."

"I believe you."

"But Nat…can I ask you something?"

"Sure."

"Have you felt a certain way about someone, but then you don't know whether or not they feel the same way about you, or even like you like you wish they would, so you feel like you shouldn't bring it up even though you want to because it's killing you to find out whether or not they feel the same way about you?"

He laughed. "What?"

She smiled, and took a deep breath. "Have you ever…liked someone and not known how they felt about you, but you're afraid to ask because you're afraid they won't feel the same way about you?"

"Actually…yeah."

"So what did you do?"

"That's the funny part," He said, sitting on Alex's bed. "I didn't do anything."

"So you just let her get away?"

"In a way…yeah, I guess so."

"Why?"

"Because…she's older than me. I've known her for a while but…I don't think she likes me back."

She sat down next to him. "Well, you have to go after her. If you really like her, then you should at least tell her how you feel."

"Well what about you? Did you tell this guy that you like him?"

"No… I'm afraid to."

"Why?"

"Because what if he doesn't like me back?"

"Then he's the one missing out."

"So you're saying I should ask him out?"

"Sure, why not."

"Okay…I have another question."

"What is it?"

"Will you be my boyfriend?"

A/N-Whoa. You guys were probably waiting for that though, huh?

Oh and guys guess what?! I have another NEW story in the works!

A SEQUEL TO THAT SUMMER!

But it probably won't be released for another month...): But don't worry!

It doesn't have a name yet but here's a summary:

"Everything is finally working out for Nat and Alex. The band is going great, Nat and Rosalina are going strong, there hadn't been any drama anywhere and their uncle was finally supporting the band. And then, disaster strikes. Again, Nat's world comes tumbling down around him. But this time it's different. Can Nat, Alex and Rosalina pull through this new obstacle? Or will they give up as friendships and important relationships are tested."

It's not the best summary, but I swear it's better then it sounds. Will you guys read it if I posted it?

Leave a review!
