A/N-I DO NOT OWN THE NAKED BROTHERS BAND!
Hey guys!
Sorry for such a long wait, but I was kind of on writer's block for this story until I got towards the end. Now I've got NEW IDEAS!(:
I don't know if you'll like them though...
The whole rest of the weekend, Nat was trying to keep his temper in check, just like he promised Rosalina. But he distracted himself by keeping an eye on Rosalina. Ever since her nightmare, he wanted to make sure she knew that he wasn't going to get hurt, by anyone. By Sunday, he was sure that everything was back to normal. Rosalina hadn't had the nightmare again, neither he or Alex had gotten sick because of the rain, and Jake had actually left Rosalina alone for most of the weekend.
On Sunday night, after dinner Nat and Rosalina were trying to help Alex finish his homework.
"I don't get it," Alex repeated for what seemed like the millionth.
"Alex, all you have to do is divide those two numbers to get x," Rosalina explained.
"But how do you get those two numbers?"
Nat groaned. "She just explained that!"
"Nat, calm down. This is something you and Alex have in common," Rosalina said. She re-explained how to get the answer and Alex tried again. She even noticed that Nat was trying to help his little brother.
"I get it!" Alex shouted happily, jumping up from the chair.
Nat and Rosalina laughed.
"See Alex, it's not that hard," She said.
"Not with the best math tutor in the world," Alex said, putting his homework away.
"Hey, what am I?" Nat joked.
"The help," Alex joked.
"Okay fine, Math genius, get to bed."
"I'm going, I'm going."
"We'd better get to bed too," Rosalina said.
"Okay…I'll see you tomorrow. Good night Rosie," He said, as he kissed her head.
"Night."
…
"No, stop! Stop it! Jake, stop it! No!"
Nat was awoken by the shouts of his girlfriend in the living room. He jumped out of bed and ran into the living room.
Rosalina was twisting and turning on the couch.
"Rosie, wake up. Rosalina, it's okay, it's just a dream," He said, shaking her shoulder.
"No! Stop! Stop it!"
"Rosalina, wake up!"
Rosalina sat up on the couch and looked around when her eyes landed on Nat, she ran her hands through her hair. She realized what happened. "I woke you up, didn't I?"
"It's fine, Rosie," He said, jumping over the couch to sit next to her.
"No, it's not fine…" She sighed.
"Rosalina, it was just a dream. It's scary, I understand that. I don't blame you. I can't blame you."
"But I–"
"Was it the same dream?"
She nodded.
"It won't happen, Rosie. I promise you, that Jake won't hurt me."
"But what if he does?" Rosalina asked. "What if he gets to you when no one else can help?"
"Then I will take care of myself. I'm a big boy, Rosalina."
"But you still act like an 11 year old," She joked.
"Hey, be nice! I stopped sleeping with a night light last week," He joked.
Rosalina couldn't help herself, and started laughing.
"Oh you think that's funny? How about this," He said, pinning her down and tickling her.
"No, no, no, no! Stop it! Stop!" She laughed.
He laughed. "What's the magic word?"
"Nat is hottest, most amazing boyfriend a girl could ever ask for…and he's the best songwriter there is!" Rosalina said between laughs.
Nat stopped and let her go. "Feel better?"
"If by feel better you mean out of breath, then yes," She said, sitting up.
"You gonna be okay, Rosie?"
She nodded. "Thanks Nat."
"You're welcome," He said and kissed her head. "Now get some sleep okay?"
"Nat, could you please…sleep out here?"
He nodded as she laid her head on his chest. "Goodnight Rosie."
"Night."
~NBB~
"Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up!"
Nat sat up and groaned. "What's going on?"
"It's seven-thirty! You guys slept in!" Alex said, hopping towards the door as he tried to tie his shoe.
Nat shook Rosalina's shoulder. "Rosalina, wake up. We slept in."
Rosalina jerked awake. "Okay, okay, I'm up. Let's go."
Nat and Rosalina rushed around the house, trying to get ready. It was seven fourty-five by the time they left the apartment. Rosalina quickly drove to school with ten minutes to spare. Alex ran into the middle school and Nat and Rosalina rushed into the high school.
They were met by Cooper. "Where've you guys been? I have news for you guys!"
"What is it?" Nat asked, as they walked to their lockers.
"The police found the guy who spray painted the wall."
"That's great!" Rosalina said.
"Who is it?" Nat asked.
"That's the other part…I don't know yet. Tuffy called this morning when I was leaving for school. I haven't had the chance to see him yet."
"Oh…well, how do they know it's the guy?"
"Well, their ninety percent sure, but they wanted Rosalina come down to the station today after school to be sure she recognizes him," Cooper said.
Nat looked at Rosalina. "You okay with that?"
She nodded slowly. "Yeah, sure."
"Great," He kissed her on the cheek. "We gotta get to class. I'll see you later Rosie." Nat and Cooper walked towards his own locker.
"So is everything okay with Rosalina?"
"Yeah, except she had the nightmare again last night."
"Again?"
"Yeah, but I don't know why. She's almost mad at herself for it."
"She's just worried about you, Nat. I'm sure everything will be fine."
"But you don't get it Coop," Nat said, as he took his books out of his locker. "I need to think of a way to reassure her that Jake isn't going to hurt me. And if he does, I can take care of myself."
"Well…you can't really promise Jake isn't going to come after you. But you don't want him to, because I mean the only way you'd really get him is if you were ready. And the only way to be sure you were ready is if you were to pick a fight with him. Which isn't very smart." Cooper looked at his friend, who now had a smile growing on his face. "Why are you smiling like that?"
Nat's smile only grew wider.
"Oh no…you're not thinking what I think you're thinking, are you?" Cooper said as he stopped walking.
"Only if you're thinking that I'm thinking I should pick a fight with Jake."
"But I said I said I was thinking it was stupid if you were thinking of picking a fight with Jake."
"Okay, first of all, stop saying 'thinking.' Second of all, why not? I mean, I don't like getting into fights with Jake, but if I'm ready for it, I can prove to Rosalina that I can handle him."
"Or give Rosalina a heart attack!"
"Don't worry about it, Cooper. Everything will be fine."
"Nat, maybe you need to lie down or something. I don't think that you're thinking straight."
"Don't worry Super Cooper, everything will be fine."
A/N-Haha, I'm with Super Cooper. This could get bad...what do you guys think?
REVIEW PLEASE AND THANK YOU!(:
