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

Hey guys!

I finished my projects so now...here I am! Haha, I hope you guys like this chapter(:

Something...happens...

"I don't think this is such a good idea," Cooper said for what seemed like the millionth time. He was trying to convince Nat that his idea was a bad one.

"Cooper, don't worry about it. I know what I'm doing."

"But Nat, the last time you got into a fight with one of Rosalina's ex-boyfriends, you guys got into a fight."

"That was a long time ago. We've changed since then," Nat reassured him.

"Well what if Jake actually hurts you? Rosalina will have a heart attack, you'll get hurt, and then when Rosalina finds out you picked the fight she'll kill you!"

"Which is exactly why she won't find out, right?" He asked, stopping to look at his friend.

"But…but I can't lie to Rosalina! She's…she's Rosalina! And you can't lie to her either, Nat."

"So then, just don't bring it up. After school today, I'm going to fight Jake and win."

Cooper gave him a look.

"Okay, maybe not win but I won't get hurt."

"Nat, this really isn't a good idea, as your manager–"

"Forget being my manager, what about my friend?"

"As your manager and your friend, I think this is a really bad idea."

Nat groaned. "I promise Cooper, I know what I'm doing. Just promise me you won't tell Rosalina."

"Nat…I don't know…"

"Please, Cooper."

"Okay."

~NBB~

That day at lunch, Rosalina came in late. "Hey guys. Sorry I'm late."

"What kept you so long?" Nat asked.

"My teacher was talking to me about tutoring."

"You need tutoring?" Thomas asked in surprise.

"No, she was asking me to tutor someone."

"So are you?" David asked.

"Yeah, and it starts today after school. So…if you want you can hang around for about a half an hour after school, but you don't have to," Rosalina said, looking at Nat.

"It's cool. I can wait," Nat said smiling at her.

"Thanks."

"What would you do for a half an hour?" Thomas asked.

Cooper looked at Nat nervously.

"Just wait for my girlfriend."

…

Later, after school Nat already went over to the middle school and told Alex Rosalina was going to be a little late. He was waiting for Jake to come out of wrestling practice.

He walked out of the gym and noticed Nat standing by his locker. "Well, well, well, look who we have here boys," He said, looking back at his friends. "The little popstar is all alone. Did your little preschool band ditch you already?"

"No, look Jake, I–"

"Nat, wait!"

They turned around to see Cooper running up to him.

"Cooper, what is it? I'm a little busy," He said stepping away from Jake and his friends.

"Nat, look I really think you should give up with this idea. There has to be another way to convince Rosalina, other than setting yourself up to get hurt."

"There's no going back now, Coop. I have to do this."

"You don't have to do anything! This is the most insane idea you've ever had! I've gone practically crazy trying to keep it from Rosalina all day. I'm surprised your not."

"You think I don't feel bad about lying to her? Of course I do! But I have to do this for her."

"You have to do this for her? Nat, you'll scare her to death! Not to mention, you'll get yourself hurt! C'mon Nat, think!"

"I am. I have to do this. I can't turn back now. Jake will really think I'm a loser." He walked back over to Jake. "Look Jake, I'm sick and tired of you and your stupid friends pushing me around."

"Then why don't you break up with Rosalina and let her come back to me, where she rightfully belongs."

"She isn't a piece of property! She's a person, she's my best friend and I care about her! You don't care about her at all! All you want is a girlfriend that you can mess with!"

"Think about it, Nate. She is two years older than you. Next year, she's going to college far, far away from here and she'll forget about you and your stupid little band. She'll find another boyfriend her own age and dump you."

"My name isn't Nate!" Nat said angrily, pushing Jake backwards.

Jake lunged at Nat and punched him in the stomach.

Cooper couldn't take it anymore, he turned and ran to find Rosalina. He didn't care what Nat said, he had to tell her. He looked in all the classrooms he passed for Rosalina, but couldn't find her. He finally found her walking out of the library of the school. "Rosalina! Thank God I found you!"

"What's wrong, Cooper?" She asked.

"It's…it's Nat. He…"

"He what? Is he okay?"

"He was talking to Jake and they started fighting."

"What?" She shouted. "Where are they?"

"Up in front of the school."

Rosalina ran down the hallway towards the front of the school, hoping she could stop them before…something really bad happened.

…

Jake punched Nat in the stomach again, making him fall backwards just as Rosalina turned around the corner.

"No!" Rosalina yelled, remembering her nightmare. She ran over to them with Cooper close behind her.

"Rosalina, just give up on the loser already. It's obvious who's better for you," Jake said.

"Yeah, you're right." She helped Nat up and took his hand. She looked at him. "I always have."

"C'mon, you can't seriously want this loser after everything we've been through. This stupid little sophomore doesn't deserve you."

"You wanna bet?" Nat said, stepping towards Jake.

Rosalina tried to pull him back. "Nat, stop–"

"Back off, popstar," Jake said, shoving Nat backwards.

Instead of falling backwards, he stepped forward again and shoved Jake back.

Jake threw a punch at his face, but Nat ducked.

"Stop it!" Rosalina yelled.

It finally got the attention of one of the secretaries and one of them walked out with a disappointed look on her face. "Mr. Lawrence, Mr. Wolff, would you care to explain?"

"Yeah, I was just walking out of practice when Nate here punched me in the stomach!" Jake said.

"Nat?" Rosalina asked, looking at her boyfriend.

"That's not true! He's lying! I was trying to talk to you, and you punched me in the stomach."

"Why would I punch you in the stomach?" Jake asked.

"You punched me in the eye once, why not the stomach now?"

"He has a point, Mr. Lawrence," The secretary said.

"He's lying!"

"If I punched you, you'd have a bruise," Nat said.

"To Mr. Schmoke's office, Mr. Lawrence."

Jake trudged into the office.

"Don't let this happen again, Mr. Wolff."

Nat nodded and watched the secretary walk back into the office. He sighed and walked over to pick up his backpack.

"Nat…" Cooper started.

"What were you thinking?" Rosalina asked.

"For starters, I never thought my own girlfriend would believe her ex-boyfriend over me," He said, walking towards the doors.

"Nat, wait," She said, running after him out the door and down the stairs.

"Wait for what? For you to trust me?"

"Well, what about you?"

"What about me?"

"Cooper told me about how you planned that fight with Jake. How could you do that? Did you want to scare me to death?"

"No, I just…" He sighed. "Never mind, it's stupid."

"Fine…fine, then maybe if you keep secrets from me and lie to me, then maybe I can't trust you," She said.

"Alright fine, then don't trust me. See if I care."

Rosalina looked down, then back at him. "So what does this mean for us?"

"For us?" Nat sighed.

"Wait, Nat, think before you say anything," Cooper said, walking towards his friend.

"Maybe we need a break," He said finally.

"A break?" Rosalina asked sadly.

"A break," Nat confirmed.

The three of them didn't say anything for a few minutes then Nat spoke up. "I'm going to go pick up Alex, then we'll walk home."

"Nat, you don't have to walk home," She told him.

"I know…I want to. I need to think things through."

She sighed as she watched him walk into the middle school.

"Don't give up on him, Rosalina," Cooper told her. "He loves you."

"I'm not so sure, Cooper."

"Rosalina, even though he fought with Jake, he was trying to prove to you that Jake wouldn't hurt him."

"Well, he did get hurt. And I know that he won't let me help him this time."

"Just promise me you won't give up on him."

Rosalina nodded. "I won't. I promise." She walked over to her car. "You need a ride?"

"No, but thanks. I'll talk to you tomorrow."

"Okay, bye Cooper."

~NBB~

"How could you do this?" Alex asked his brother as they were walking home.

"It was kind of a mutual thing…I guess."

"Nat, you're being stupid. No, you're both being stupid. How could you guys let Jake get between you?"

Could Alex be right? Were they letting Jake get between them?

"I mean, hasn't that been Jake's goal from the beginning? To get between you and Rosalina? And now that he has, you're just gonna let him? You're letting him win?!"

"I think you're right, but…what am I supposed to do about it? Rosalina said she can't trust me."

"Talk to her, bro," Alex said. "You're the only one who can do it."

A/N-Surprised? Shocked? ANYTHING?

Leave me a review please!
