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

Hey guys!

I finally updated! I had to literally drag this chapter out of me...(if that makes sense) lol. It skips around a bit, and I know you guys are probably going to tell me I'm wrong, but I really don't think I had a very good ending to this chapter. But I was just trying to rush it out so I could update. The next chapter I think will be the best! But who knows...let's get through this chapter first (:

Enjoy!


The next morning Rosalina got up early and quietly walked into Nat and Alex's room. She shook Alex's shoulder. "C'mon Alex, time to get up," She said quietly.

He groaned.

"Please Alex, get up."

He sat up and stretched. "Okay, okay," He mumbled sleepily, getting out of bed and walking over to his dresser.

Rosalina climbed up to Nat's bunk and gently shook his shoulder. "Nat, I need to talk to you," She whispered.

He sighed and opened his eyes. "What's wrong, Rosalina?"

"Do you feel okay enough to go to school?"

"I'll get dressed and meet you and Alex in the kitchen. Then I'll tell you."

She nodded, climbed back down, and walked out of their bedroom, with Alex following behind her. They walked into the kitchen and made themselves breakfast.

"Is Nat okay?" Alex asked.

"I think so," Rosalina said.

"Are you guys going back to school today?"

She shrugged. "I'm not sure."

Nat trudged into the kitchen, and sat down at the table.

She turned away from him, but out of the corner of her eye she could see him cringe. She turned back around and he sat up and started eating. "Are you okay?" She asked.

He nodded. "Yeah, I think I'll be okay today."

"I'm gonna go make sure I have all my homework," Alex said, getting up and walking out of the kitchen.

"You're lying," Rosalina said. "I saw that look on your face."

Nat looked down.

"Tell me the truth, Nat, please. Do you honestly feel like you can go to school today?"

He glanced up at her and then looked back at the table. "If I didn't have a huge bruise on my stomach, yes, I would. But since I have a huge bruise on my stomach, all the wrestlers at school after me and having to deal with the fact that someone is trying to break you and I up," He said. "I don't know if I should."

"Do you want me to stay home with you?"

"I don't want you to miss school because of me."

"Nat, I don't know if you realized it yet, but if you need help, and missing school is what has to happen, then I don't care. I'll do anything for you."

He gave her a goofy smile. "I know that song."

She shook her head. "I'll stay home with you, okay? By tomorrow you should be okay enough to go and we'll both go back."

Nat nodded.

"I'm going to call Jesse," She said getting up.

"Wait!" He said quickly. "Does that mean I have to ice my stomach again today?"

Rosalina smiled nervously. "Um…yes." Before he could respond, she turned and ran out of the room.

"I'd run after you if my stomach wasn't bruised!" He called after her.

~NBB~

Rosalina had already taken Alex to school, had Jesse call them both in sick, and talked to Cooper to tell him that they weren't coming and why. When she came back home, she found Nat sitting at the piano.

He jumped up when she walked inside the apartment. "I swear I had ice on my stomach, but I got bored!"

She laughed. "It's okay. What are you writing?"

He sat back down at the piano as she walked over and sat next to him. "I was working on Greatest Prize."

"Cool. What do you have?"

"I think it's almost done."

"Can I hear it?"

"Can you wait until I make sure it's perfect?"

"Nat, it's fine the way it is."

"No it's not. It has to be perfect."

"Any song you write is perfect."

"That's a lie."

"No it's not. A lie is like saying Thomas is smooth with girls."

Nat laughed. "That's definitely a lie."

She smiled. "And the truth is that every song you write is perfect. And that I love you."

"The first one is eh, but the second one I can agree with," He said, leaning in to kiss her.

After a few minutes, she finally pulled away. "Okay fine. But if I can't hear the song, then you can't work on it right now. Go lay on the couch."

He gave her a look, slowly got up, and walked over to the couch.

She handed him an ice pack which he put on his stomach.

He cringed again, but looked away from her.

"If it makes you feel any better, it looks a lot better."

"Sure it does," He said.

"Okay, here's a better question for you. Does it feel any better?"

Nat wouldn't meet her eyes.

"Nat, just tell me. Please."

He sighed. "It's really sore now. Or at least that's what it feels like."

"I'm sorry, I wish there was something that I could do."

"You're sitting here with me; that's the best thing you can do."

She smiled. "You're really sweet. Do you have a girlfriend?"

He laughed. "Yeah, I do."

"She's a lucky girl."

"No, I'm a lucky guy."

"Crazy car, to lead me nowhere, lead me nowhere, actually it's made for that, made for that…"

"Rosalina…you're phone's ringing…" Nat mumbled sleepily.

She slowly opened her eyes and picked up her phone. "What's up Cooper?"

"Rosalina, where are you? School let out a half an hour ago."

Rosalina sat up quickly. "What? Oh my God, I'm so sorry, Coop. I'm coming now, okay?"

"It's okay, Rosalina. I'll walk Alex home."

"Thanks a lot. I'm really sorry."

"It's okay, it's okay. I understand."

"Thanks Coop. I promise it won't happen again."

"Okay, Rosalina. I'll see you guys in a little bit."

~NBB~

That night Rosalina made sure that Nat iced his stomach before bed and that Alex did his homework. They all went to bed early because they wanted to be sure they would get to school on time.

The next morning, Nat admitted he was a little sore, but it wasn't so bad to the point he couldn't move, so he and Rosalina went back to school.

They walked into the high school after dropping off Alex, and Nat couldn't help but notice the extra stares they were getting. As they walked to their lockers, Jake shouted from his own: "Aw, did the little popstar's tummy hurt?"

"Ignore him," Rosalina whispered to Nat, as they walked on towards Nat's locker.

"I know, I know," He mumbled.

"Now remember, if your stomach starts to hurt again, or if Jake does something, you have to tell me, okay? I won't get mad or anything; I promise."

Nat nodded. "Okay, I promise I'll tell you."

"Good," She said, smiling as she leaned in to kiss him. Once she pulled away she said, "Don't let Jake get to you either. I'm not dating him anymore, I'm dating you."

"I know, thank God," He joked.

She laughed as she walked off to her class. "I'll see you later, Nat."

"Bye Rosie," He said as he walked off in the opposite direction.

Nearby, Jake was standing with one of his friends around the corner from where the couple was just talking. If they'd stayed slightly longer, they might've heard him say, "Hope you enjoy your freedom while it lasts, popstar. Because when I'm done with you, you'll never see the light of day again."


A/N-Uh oh. What's Jake planning? Is it evil? Is it good? Is it...dangerous?
