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

Hey guys!

Here's the third chapter! Personally, even if I made him up, I think that Jake is a complete...jerk in this chapter. If I were Rosalina, I would've slapped him by now. What do you guys think?

Nat and Rosalina quickly rushed past Cooper and out to where the stage was.

Jake was standing there, surrounded by the band, even Alex, and they were all yelling at each other.

"Guys! Stop it!" Rosalina yelled.

The room fell silent as the band and Jake looked at Rosalina.

"Babe, what are you doing here with these losers?" Jake asked, pushing past the band and stepping towards Rosalina.

"I'm not your babe, and they aren't losers. Their my friends."

"Don't say that, Rosie," Jake said softly, putting his hand on Rosalina's cheek.

She slapped his hand away. "Don't touch me, and don't call me Rosie. My name is Rosalina. I told you Jake, we're done. I don't want to see you anymore. Get out of here. This is private property."

"This isn't private property, this is public property. I can stay as long as I want," Jake said.

"Actually, this building is owned by Polly-Phonic Studios. It's private property and is only used by the Naked Brothers Band. Friends of the band are welcome but," Cooper looked around. "I don't think anyone in the band wants you here. I have the power to call security on you."

"I'm dating Rosalina," Jake said, putting an arm around her. "I can stay."

Rosalina pushed him away. "Jake, stop it! We're done, we're over, I'm not in love with you!"

Jake then turned his attention to Nat. "Aw, does the little popstar have a black eye?" He leaned down so only Nat could hear. "Maybe I should finish you off so your face looks even."

"Or maybe I should give you one so you know how it feels!" Nat shouted, pushing Jake backward.

Jake grabbed Nat by his shirt, but then the guys jumped in.

Rosalina beat them to it. "Jake, STOP!" She screamed. She pushed Jake off Nat, which made Jake fall backwards, and Nat stumble in the opposite direction.

Jake stood up and looked at his ex-girlfriend. "Rosalina, you can't honestly tell me you actually like it here. They're a bunch of little sophomores. I mean, singing stupid songs about banana smoothies and vacations? Lame." He walked over to Nat. "And you? Wasting your time, trying to get a girl like Rosalina to fall in love with you by writing sappy love songs about her? Worthless."

Nat had been trying to hold back his anger but he couldn't do it anymore. "I'm gonna kill you!" He shouted, lunging at Jake.

But Jake stepped back and Thomas, Cooper, and Alex held Nat back.

"Nat, calm down, he's not worth it!" Cooper said.

"Yeah, bro. It's like he could be Bobby Love's little brother!" Alex said.

"Stop! Stop it, both of you!" Rosalina yelled.

Everyone stopped, even Nat.

"Jake, get out! Get out and leave me alone! I never want to see you again!" She yelled with tears running down her face.

"Babe…"

"No! Stop!" She turned and ran back to the dressing room.

"Rosalina," Nat mumbled. "Rosalina!" He struggled against his friends' grip. "Let me go, guys." He pulled free and ran after his best friend. "Rosalina!" He turned, and was about to race down the hallway, but he stopped short.

Rosalina was sitting on the floor of the hallway with her knees pulled to her chest.

He bent down next to her. "Am I allowed to call you Rosie?" He asked softly.

She nodded with tears falling down her face.

"Rosie, he's not worth your tears," He said, pulling her into a hug. "You should save your tears for something important."

She sniffled. "Like what?"

"Like…a puppy dying," Nat said, looking at her.

She smiled through her tears.

"I like it when you smile much better then when you cry."

"Nat, there's something I've wanted to –"

Rosalina was interrupted by Cooper squeaking to a stop right next to them. "Guys, we got Jake to leave. I think we're done with rehearsal for today. And for a few days."

"Okay Coop. Thanks," Nat said. He stood up, then helped Rosalina up.

The three of them walked back to where the stage was and the rest of the band was standing and talking.

"Guys, let's just call it a day. I'm sure you all have plans tonight," Nat said.

"And Nat has to go home, because he has to put ice on his eye," Rosalina added.

The guys all looked at each other knowingly.

"Fine," Nat sighed, rolling his eyes.

"Thomas and I are going to the arcade," David said.

"I'm studying," Qaasim said.

"I've got some calls to make, so I actually have to stay here," Cooper said.

"I'm in seventh grade," Alex said shrugging. "I have no life yet."

They all laughed as they walked out together.

"You gonna lock up, Cooper?" Nat asked, standing in the doorway of the building.

"Yeah, I'll lock up."

"Okay, we'll see you around." He walked outside with the rest of the guys. "We should hang out this weekend, guys."

"Nat, no offense, but maybe you should worry about your eye. As much as I'd like to be the one to tease you about running into things, you and I both know Rosalina probably won't let you do anything," Thomas said.

The boys looked at each other and said, "Mom mode."

"See you around Thomas," Nat said laughing, as he got into Rosalina's car.

"What did Thomas want?" Rosalina asked.

"Oh…he was just asking about new songs."

She gave him a look but seemed to let it go. "How's your eye?"

Nat leaned back in the seat. "It's fine, Rosie. Thanks for asking."

"I know I keep saying it, but I really am sorry. I feel partly responsible for Jake's behavior."

"How would you be responsible for Jake?"

"Because I dated the jerk," She said.

"Rosalina, it's not your fault that Jake is…well, Jake," Alex spoke up from the backseat.

"For once, I agree with Alex," Nat said. "You can't help what he does. I don't blame you at all."

"I know, but it just stresses me out," Rosalina said, sighing.

"He's not worth it," Nat reminded her.

"I know…I know."

They got back to the apartment, and walked inside. "Okay Alex, you don't have to do your homework," Rosalina told him.

"Yes! I'm going skateboarding with Juanita!" Alex said, grabbing his skateboard and running towards the door.

"What about WAH-APA-AT?" Nat called after him.

"Right!" Alex ran back into his room and came out with his helmet on his head and his pads half strapped on. "I'll be back later!" He called, slamming the door behind him.

Rosalina came into the living room and handed him an ice pack. "WAH-APA-AT?" She asked, sitting next to him.

"Wear A Helmet And Pads At All Times, WAH-APA-AT," Nat recited, putting the ice on his eye. "It's from Tony Hawk's Safe Skateboarding Tips. A.K.A, Alex's bible. I've watched it over a million times."

"Oh yeah," Rosalina said, remembering the time the band watched it at their sleepover near Halloween. She looked down at her hands.

"You okay?" Nat asked, looking at her.

"Yeah, yeah, I'm fine."

"What was it that you were saying when we were in the hallway?"

"Oh, um I was just saying that I've been thinking –" Rosalina was interrupted again by her phone ringing. She groaned. "I'm sorry," She said, picking it up.

Nat shook his head, telling her it was nothing.

She picked up the phone. "Hello?" She sighed. "Yes, Patrice. No. Because he…well obviously! No, Patrice I won't. You can have him, I'm so done with him." Rosalina looked at Nat. "Look, I have to go. No. No, I have to. Patrice, I really don't want to talk about this. Goodbye Patrice." She hung up.

Nat looked at her.

She put on a fake smile. "That's Patrice for you." She glanced down at her phone again. "And now…my dad's out of town for a week on business."

"Didn't he just come back?"

She frowned in confusion. "How did you know?"

"Me and the guys memorized your dad's work schedule one time when we were twelve. It hasn't changed since then."

Rosalina smiled weakly, then sighed. "This is just what I need. To be alone for a week while Jake is practically stalking me."

"You can stay here if you want. My dad is on a tour of Europe with his accordion group."

"He has an accordion group?"

"Well…it's not a band, but it's a bunch of old guys who like accordions, and they play in cities and towns in Europe."

"And he left you…and Alex…alone?"

"No, Jesse checks in at least once a day, or she calls, but for the most part, yeah I guess so."

Rosalina nodded. "Well, are you sure it's okay?"

"Rosalina, seriously. I've known you for six years. You've stayed here a bunch of times. Of course it's okay."

"Okay, thanks Nat."

They ended up going back to watching movies, and Nat fell asleep on the couch by the time is got dark. Rosalina still felt bad about what happened, even though she knew it wasn't her fault.

Nat groaned and turned over in his sleep.

It was then that Rosalina realized, where was Alex? He would've called if he went to Juanita's, wouldn't he? How was she supposed to reach him?

Suddenly someone pounded on the door.

She looked at Nat.

He hadn't moved.

She cautiously got off the couch, and walked towards the door. She opened the door slowly to see Alex, who was soaking wet. "Alex! What happened?" She opened the door wider to let him inside.

"It started raining," He said, kicking off his shoes by the door. "And we had to ride all the way home. It was so awesome!"

Rosalina smiled at Alex. "Well, you should probably take a shower and get into warm clothes. I don't want you to get sick."

He nodded. "Okay. Where's Nat?"

"Sleeping."

"Of course. I rush home to so he doesn't worry, and he's sleeping. That's my luck."

Rosalina shook her head at Alex, sat back down on the couch and continued watching the movie.

"Did Alex come home?" Nat's sleepy voice asked.

"Yeah, he did. I told him to get some clean clothes and take a shower."

Nat smiled weakly. "Thanks."

"How are you?" She asked, looking at him.

He shifted so he was lying on his back. "Better."

"How's your eye?"

"It still hurts, but it feels better."

"Do you want some more ice?"

He shook his head. "Thanks though."

She turned back to the movie but could still feel his eyes on her.

"Rosie, you look like you could use some sleep too."

She shook her head. "I'm fine."

"You look exhausted."

Rosalina knew she couldn't hide it from him, and shrugged. "Maybe a little."

"I'll stay awake and make sure Alex is okay. You can take a nap or something. It's okay."

She nodded, but didn't make any move to go to sleep.

They both continued watching the movie, and when Alex got out of the shower, he joined them. They watched until they could barely keep their eyes open.

"Alex. Bed. Now," Nat said, getting up from the couch.

"I'm going, I'm going," Alex mumbled, getting up from the egg chair. He walked towards their bedroom, bumping into the wall in the process.

"Alex, you need to keep your eyes open while your walking to bed."

"Whatever!"

Nat shook his head. "Will you be okay out here?" He asked Rosalina.

She nodded. "Thanks Nat. For…well, forgiving me."

"There's nothing to forgive you for."

"I left you guys. I ignored you guys for…two months."

Nat shook his head again. "Rosalina, I promise you, no matter what you do, you're stuck with me, and the guys."

She smiled, stood up and kissed him on the cheek. "Goodnight Nat."

"Goodnight Rosalina."

A/N-Thank goodness for Nat and Alex, huh? Soooo...would you slap Jake still? lol
