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

Hey guys!

So...

I don't think this is one of my best chapters. This story is about to slow down a bit, is that okay? This is kind of just a filler chapter, to keep the story moving.

I hope you guys still like it!(:

"Remember that Rosalina, okay?"

She nodded and hugged him again.

"I didn't know you were so worried about me."

"I am," She said. "I've been worried about you ever since we started dating when you were twelve."

Nat smiled, as he pulled away from the hug. "Well, I'm glad you think about me, but when you said you were worried about me in the car, I didn't think you meant like this."

"I just can't help but feel like it's my fault if Jake does something to you, or any of the guys."

"It's not, Rosie. It's really not. Whatever Jake does, he does by himself. You have nothing to do with it."

She only looked at him.

"Don't worry about it." He kissed her forehead. "I'll be fine. I can take care of myself."

"I know," Rosalina sighed.

"So try and get some sleep, okay?" Nat stood up from the couch. "I'll see you in the morning."

He was walking to the hallway, when she stopped him. "Nat?"

He turned to face her.

"Um…never mind."

"Are you sure?"

She nodded.

He sighed. "Okay, then I'm going to bed. Good night, Rosie."

"Night Nat."

He turned and began walking to his room again, but he ran into the wall.

"Nat, you're supposed to keep your eyes open until get to your bed."

He looked over his shoulder at her smiling, and walked back to his room.

~NBB~

"Wait, so let me get this straight, Rosalina had a nightmare that Jake hurt you?"

"Coop, I know it sounds weird, but you should've seen her last night. She was so upset about it. I didn't think she was that worried about me."

"I'm sure she's fine, Nat. Like you said, she's just worried. It was probably a one time thing."

Nat sighed. "You're right. I should just–"

"Nat?"

He turned around to see Rosalina standing in the doorway of the kitchen, still in her pajamas. "I gotta go, Coop." He quickly hung up his phone. "Hey, how'd you sleep?"

"Actually, I'm a little more worried about you, seeing as you ran into a wall on your way back to bed."

Nat smiled. "I'm fine, no bruises. Yet."

She laughed. "Yet? Does that mean you plan on hurting yourself soon?"

"Maybe…"

"So where's Alex?"

"He said something about the most important meeting with Juanita at the skate park so he left about twenty minutes ago."

"An important meeting? With Juanita?"

Nat shrugged. "I have no idea."

"Okay then…"

"So what was it that you wanted to tell me last night?" He asked.

"Oh…um…it was nothing. It doesn't matter now."

He gave her a look, but she brushed it off. "So what are we doing today?"

"Actually, I was on the phone with Cooper talking about how we were going to get the graffiti off the studio wall."

"What'd he say?" She asked, making herself a bowl of cereal.

He sighed. "The police haven't found anyone matching the description yet."

"It's one of Jake's friends, I know that for sure. I just don't know who he is."

"I know nobody blames you or anything. But I don't see why we have to wait until the police find the guy before we can get it off."

"Don't worry, Nat. It'll all work out soon."

…

"Nat, Alex are you guys home?"

Nat sat up from being slumped on the couch and looked towards the door.

Jesse, the band's former tutor and babysitter was standing in the doorway.

"Hey Jess, what's up?"

"Well, I thought I'd check in on you guys since I've been kind of busy lately," She said, shutting the door behind her.

"Oh…yeah…well, you kind of missed a few things," Nat said.

"Like what?"

"I had a black eye and Rosalina's been staying here."

"You had a black eye? Really? From who? I'll show them my womanly art of self-defense."

"No, it's okay Jesse. I'm okay now. It's just this guy at school."

"Oh…well, if Rosalina's staying here, where is she?"

"She's showering."

"Okay, well I hope you don't mind. I've been really busy lately. I've been trying to get into fashion school," Jesse said with a smile.

Nat tried to smile but it wasn't working. "That's great, Jesse. But what about me and Alex? You promised Dad that you'd keep an eye on us while he was in Europe."

"Oh, I know silly! I would never leave you alone! But I mean, with Rosalina here and she's almost eighteen, well, you don't need me to check in on you all the time like I usually do. Is that okay?"

"Yeah, I guess but –"

"Thanks, Nat! I knew you'd understand!" She smiled and turned back towards the door. "I'll come back sometime later in the week, okay? I'll call tomorrow. Bye!" And she left the apartment.

Nat sighed. That was odd. He didn't really mind, because Jesse was right. Rosalina was almost eighteen, so Jesse didn't really need to check on them all the time. It was going to be Alex who would probably take it the hardest. He walked over to the window and looked out at the city. The sky was dark with black storm clouds. He groaned. "Aw man, Alex…" He ran into his room and to the closed bathroom door. "Rosalina, I have to go get Alex, it's going to rain. I'll be right back, okay?" He didn't even wait for an answer and ran out of the room and out of the apartment. He raced out of the building and down the street towards the skate park. When he reached the park, he scanned it for his little brother. "Alex!" Nat shouted, as thunder rumbled above him. "Alex, where are you?"

"Nat!" Someone shouted from behind him.

Nat turned and saw his little brother walking over to him with his skateboard in his hand. "Alex, c'mon we gotta get back to the apartment. It's going to storm."

"Okay, okay, let's go."

Alex rode his skateboard while Nat ran back to the apartment. When the brothers were half way home, it started to pour rain.

"This is awesome!" Alex shouted, over the rain.

Nat laughed, as they made it back into the building. They walked up the stairs to their floor and walked inside to their apartment. By this time, they were dripping wet, and their sneakers were squeaking on the tiled floor.

"What happened?" Rosalina asked as soon as she saw the boys.

"I had to get Alex and it started raining," Nat explained as they took off their soaking wet shoes.

Alex shook out his hair. "That was so cool!"

Nat and Rosalina laughed.

"C'mon, get some dry clothes on," Rosalina said.

The brothers got changed, and walked into the living room where Rosalina was sitting. Nat sat next to her, and Alex sat in the egg chair.

"Here," She said, wrapping a blanket around Nat, and throwing one to Alex who caught it.

"Thanks Rosie," Nat said, sighing.

"What's wrong?" She asked, looking at him.

"Nothing, I'm just thinking."

"You say that all the time," Alex said from across the room. "If something's bothering you dude, then tell us. We wanna help."

"Nothing's bothering me, I'm honestly just thinking."

"About what?" Rosalina asked.

"Everything."

"Such as…?"

"Why do you want to know so badly?" Nat blurted out.

"Because we care about you."

"Can't a guy just…think without being questioned as if he committed murder?" He exploded and stormed off into his room.

Rosalina started to get up to talk to him, but Alex spoke up. "Just leave him, he's fine. He just needs to think."

"How do you know?"

"He does that when he's stressed."

"Really? Since when?"

"Since you started dating Jake."

Rosalina stayed quiet after that. Neither of them talked to each other and only watched TV. Nat didn't come out of his room, and after a while Rosalina went in to check on him. She slowly opened the door and looked inside the room.

Nat was laying on the top bunk, staring at the ceiling.

"Nat?"

"Hm?"

"I wanted to see if you were okay…"

"I'm fine…is that it?"

"Nat, can I ask you a question?"

In response, he turned his head to look at her.

"Are you mad?"

"No."

"You seem like it."

"I'm not."

"Then why won't you talk to me?"

"Because!" He snapped, then realizing what he said, he sighed. "I'm sorry…I didn't mean to yell. I just…"

"You're just stressed," She said, walking over to the bed.

Nat sat up and climbed down the ladder. "How do you know?"

"Alex told me that you've been acting like this since I started dating Jake."

He groaned.

"It's okay, Nat, I get it. I don't blame you and I'm not mad."

"You're not?"

"Of course not. I can't blame you. I practically ditched you guys, and I was such a jerk about it and then you still had to deal with the band…I can't even imagine everything you had to go through."

"It was pretty crazy."

"So what I'm trying to say is, it's okay that you get mad, but before you get too upset, just try and calm down, okay?"

He nodded. "Thank you, Rosie."

A/N-See...not the best...

Review, please? (:
