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

Hey guys!

So, I'm still trying my hardest for you guys. I know I don't update as much as I used to. But I finally finished my English paper! And summer's coming soon! So hopefully during the summer I'll be able to write more often for you guys. I've got a few stories up my sleeve...(:

Okay, well, I hope you guys like this chapter! (:


Rosalina's POV

I was pacing back and forth in the dressing room of the building where Cooper scheduled our press conference. This was probably going to be the worst press conference yet. I could feel it.

"Rosalina, you need to stop pacing," Cooper said, sitting on the couch.

"I can't."

"The only one who can get her to stop is Nat," Alex said, from his spot sitting upside down on the couch.

"Where is Nat anyway?" Thomas asked, looking around.

The guys shrugged.

"Rosalina, you just need to calm down. Everything will be fine," Cooper reassured me.

Just as Cooper said this, the door opened and Nat walked in.

Alex rolled off the couch and ran over to his brother. He whispered something to him.

Nat glanced at me. "Okay." He walked over to me. "Rosie, calm down," He said. "Pacing isn't going to help anything."

"The band's image will be ruined and it'll be my fault."

"That's not true. You know it's not true."

"I can't do this…I can't do this…I cannot do this."

Nat stood in front of me, and held me by my shoulders to keep me from pacing. "Rosalina, you need to calm down. The last thing you need is a panic attack. Just relax. Remember what we talked about?"

"You mean what I'm supposed to say?"

He nodded.

"Yeah. I remember."

"That's all you have to say. Then after that, we're turning the subject to something else and we won't take any more questions about your dad, okay? It'll be fine."

I took a deep breath, and then sighed. "I'm still nervous."

"It's normal. You just can't freak yourself out, Rosie. I don't want you to have another panic attack."

"I won't, I told you."

"I'm just making sure."

The dressing room door opened and a member of the crew walked in. "Naked Brothers Band, you've got five minutes until you're up there."

"Okay, thank you," Cooper said.

I looked nervously at Nat.

"Relax," He said. "We're all going to be up there with you. And I'll be right next to you the whole time."

I nodded and let him take my hand and lead me out of the dressing room behind the guys. We walked out to our table that was set up on a small stage, and the reporters started talking.

"Can I have your attention please?" Cooper shouted over the noise.

The crowd quieted immediately.

"The Naked Brothers Band is here to straighten out rumors and take other questions about their comeback tour. Now please, one at a time."

The reporters started shouting again so Cooper pointed at a woman with a microphone and a camera man standing behind her. "You!"

"Linda Jacobs, Chit Chat Magazine. My question is for Rosalina."

I nodded, and pretended to be interested, even though I was so nervous I felt like I was going to puke.

"Rosalina, you were seen going into the police station the other day, and then you left in an ambulance. Care to explain?"

I glanced at Nat, who nodded in encouragement. "Well…I was visiting someone at the police station," I started, which sent whispers through the crowd. "and…" I glanced at Cooper. "There was an incident."

The crowd started shouting again.

"That's all that will be said about the incident the other day," Cooper shouted. "Any and all questions that pertain to that subject will be ignored. Next question…you!"

A man stepped forward with a recorder in his hand. "Mark Montez, Pop Star Weekly. My question is also for Rosalina. Would you like to explain why you and Nat were seen leaving the police station a few days ago?"

I looked at Nat, silently telling him he should answer the question.

"Personal complications that have come up have caused some problems for some of the band members," He said. "And we're going to go through these problems as friends, because we are like family."

The reporters started talking out of turn. "Rosalina, is it true your father is an alcoholic?" "Is it true your father abuses you?"

"Ladies and gentlemen, we are done answering questions that relate to Rosalina's personal life. We will now take questions about the tour," Cooper shouted over them. "You," He said, pointing to another reporter.

"Eli Welsch, from Rising Star TV. Why is the Naked Brothers Band doing a comeback tour all of a sudden? Nat and Alex still have music careers, and are still making music. Why go back to the Naked Brothers Band?"

This time, Alex spoke up. "A better question would be, why not?"

We all laughed.

"Alex and I do still have music careers, but we still miss making music with our best friends. After talking to Cooper and everyone else for a while, we decided to do one last come back tour," Nat said.

"How does the rest of the band feel about this?" A different reporter asked.

"I love the idea," I spoke up, having recovered from the questions about my father.

"Same here," Qaasim said, nodding.

"Me too," David agreed.

We all looked at Thomas, waiting for a response.

"Even though we make fun of each other, and fight over the stupidest things sometimes, we're like siblings. And when the band separated last year, I was really upset because I wouldn't be able to see these guys as much as I usually did. Of course, we all still hung out, but it wasn't the same. When Nat called and said that we were going to do a comeback tour, I was all for it. I'm more than happy to be back as the cello player."

The crowd of reporters either clapped, or snapped more pictures. But the band was in awe. We couldn't believe that Thomas, the same goofy, immature jokester we all knew, said something like that.

David and Qaasim patted Thomas on the back. "Way to go, dude."

"The tour dates and venues will be announced online as soon as possible," Cooper announced. "That will be all for now." He motioned for us all to follow him back to the dressing room. When we got back there, we all let out of breath of relief. It was a lot easier than we thought. Well, it was a lot easier than I thought.

"See?" Nat said, looking at me. "You're still alive, all in one piece. And we put an end to all the rumors, and didn't start any new ones. I think that's a huge accomplishment for us."

I smiled. "I guess so."

"I knew everything was going to be fine. You just have to relax."

"I know."

"So hey Nat," Cooper said, causing Nat to turn away from me. "When's the first rehearsal for the comeback tour?"

The two of them began talking about schedules, and how they would do everything, you know how they used to. And Alex walked up to me.

"Hi Rosalina."

"Hey Alex, what's up?"

"Are you okay now?"

"Yeah, thanks for asking."

"Are you sure?"

"Now you sound like Nat."

"Aw man, does that mean I'm losing my coolness?"

I laughed. "No, I don't think so."

"Phew, that's good."


A/N-Well...that's Alex for you. lol.
