Chapter 8: 3rd Times A Charm
"Hey guys, where's Rosalina?" Cooper asked as the band set up for recording.
"Ohh, I forgot to tell you. She got detention for her phone. She said she'll record her parts later." Kristina said.
"Oh alright, that's cool." Cooper said. "Wow, she got caught. She's the best at hiding it."
"Yeah, we were in the bathroom. Go figure right?" Kristina said.
*After rehearsal*
"Okay, good job guys." Cooper said. "Meet at the warehouse in about an hour."
"Oh crap, how's Rosalina gonna know were over there?" Kristina asked out loud. "I don't know if she'll get her phone back."
"I'll wait around." Nat volunteered. "I was gonna stick around to record alone anyway."
"Really? Thanks Nat." Kristina said. She left with the rest of the boys, leaving Nat alone. He sat down in Cooper's chair and went through the recorded songs saved on the computer. He clicked on Your Smile and it started to play. Your Smile was the first song they recorded after Nat and Rosalina got together. He sat there, scanning through band pictures. He could see the way they always looked at each other. He laid his head down and couldn't stop thinking about her. He lifted his head when he heard a knock on the glass. He smiled when he saw Rosalina standing there. She walked in and sat down next to him.
"Where's everyone?" She asked.
"Rehearsal's at the warehouse in about half an hour." Nat said. "I thought I'd stick around and wait for you."
"Awhh thanks." Rosalina said. "You ready to go?"
"Uhmm… yeah. I'm gonna use the restroom real fast. Meet you downstairs?"
"Yeah sure." She got up and went downstairs, sitting on the last step of the staircase she and Nat broke up on 6 months ago.
"OH my dear, are you awaiting my arrival? Well, here I am!" A French accent purred from around the corner.
"Michel, get out. This is private property." Rosalina said as Michel came around the corner.
"I don't care." Michel said. "Aren't you just over joyed to see me?"
"Umm not one bit. Leave Michel, I don't like you." Rosalina said as Michel closed in on her.
"Oh whatever you say my dear. You know, the 3rd times a charm, isn't it?" Michel said, putting his face in front of hers. "Now where's my hello kiss?"
"I said GET AWAY from me!" Rosalina said, trying to push him away.
"Hey, she said get away!" Nat said, running down the stairs.
"Ohh, it's the sissy boy with the high voice." Michel cooed. "Rosaaalinnna, Roosaaaliinnna!"
"Michel, stop!" Rosalina ordered.
"Get away!" Nat said again, pushing Michel.
"Nat, you don't have to…" Rosalina started to say.
"Yeah, I do." Nat cut her off, raising his arm to punch Michel. Then, Michel pulled out a gun.
"I didn't want to come to this, but it looks like it has to." Michel pointed the gun at Rosalina then at Nat.
"Whoa there buddy. We can talk this out man." Nat said, fear filling his voice.
"I don't think so…" Michel said, cocking the gun. Nat looked at Rosalina and nodded his head towards the fire alarm. He mouthed on 3 and counted off. He charged at Michel, pointing the gun towards the floor. Rosalina pulled the alarm and it sounded, signaling that the fire and police were on their way.
"Michel, just drop the gun." Rosalina told him.
"No, this boy stole you from me. He does not deserve to live and neither do you.' Michel groaned.
"I was never with you Michel. I was with Nat, he was my boyfriend." Rosalina said.
"He was? So you two are doneso? In the toilet? Over?"
"Yeah, because of you." Nat said. "Thanks a lot."
"Haha evil prevails!" Michel said. Nat let go of his grip and ran to Rosalina. Michel pointed the gun at them both. "Payback's a …"
