A/N-I DO NOT OWN THE NAKED BROTHERS BAND!
Hey guys!
Sooo...
I'm thinking this is the 2nd to the last chapter. I'm not sure though...but from right now, it is. I'll tell you in the next chapter for sure, okay?
Enjoy!
"What if they don't wake up?"
"Of course they'll wake up!"
"Then why haven't they yet?"
"Don't worry about it, dude. They're strong. They'll pull through this."
"Yeah, you know Nat and Rosalina. It'll be okay."
Rosalina slowly opened her eyes.
Thomas, Qaasim, Cooper, David and Alex were sitting around the room.
Alex was the first to notice she was awake. "Rosalina!" He shouted, running over to her bedside.
"Alex," She said, her voice scratchy. "What happened?"
"Here," Cooper said, handing her a glass of water.
After taking a few sips of water, she put it back on the table nearby. "What happened? Where's Nat?" She demanded.
"Well…after you called Cooper, he freaked out," David explained.
"So, after we calmed him down," Qaasim continued.
"We called the police," Thomas said.
"The police were happy to be at the service of the NBB," Cooper said.
"And they took all of our information and went to work right away," David said.
"They were able to track your cell phone from Cooper's," Thomas said.
"Which was so cool!" Alex added.
"And they followed the signal to an abandoned building in the edge of New York City," Qaasim said.
"They said they found two guys unconscious, and Jake locked in a bedroom," David said.
"And they found you and Nat nearby," Alex said.
"You both have been unconscious ever since," Cooper finished.
"How long have we been here?" Rosalina asked, looking at all the guys.
"Two days," David informed her.
"We've been out of it for two days?" She asked in surprised.
The guys nodded.
"Where's Nat?"
"Over there," Alex said, turning his head to look at the other bed in the room.
Rosalina hadn't even noticed the other bed. There was Nat, lying unconscious with bandages around his head and a few on his arms. "I need to see him," She said, pulling back the blankets of the bed.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa," Qaasim and Cooper said as they rushed over and helped her back into the bed.
"You've been unconscious for two days from a concussion," Cooper said. "I'll get the nurse first." He walked out of the room.
She sighed and leaned back on the pillows. "I told him I wouldn't leave him."
The guys already knew who she was talking about without asking.
"You technically never did," David said.
"I bet they had to pry you guys apart when they found you," Thomas joked.
"And you guys rode in together on the same ambulance," Qaasim said.
"You stayed together in the emergency room," David said.
"And you've been in here ever since," Alex finished.
"This all is my fault. Nat never would've gotten hurt and none of this would've ever happened if I hadn't dated Jake," Rosalina said.
"Don't blame yourself," David said.
"Yeah, it's not your fault Jake went crazy," Thomas joked again.
Cooper came back in with a nurse.
The nurse walked over to Rosalina's bed and checked all the machines she was hooked up to. "How are you feeling Rosalina?" She asked.
"I'm feeling fine. Can I go over and sit by Nat's bed?"
"I suppose for a little while. If one of your friends helps you walk over there. I know it's not far, but you've been unconscious from a concussion for a few days. You need to take it slow for the next couple of days."
Rosalina nodded.
"Everything looks okay. I think you'll make a full recovery." With that, the nurse walked out of the room.
She slowly got out of bed, as Cooper and Qaasim made sure she didn't fall, and sat in a chair by Nat's bed. She took his hand. "Has the nurse said anything about him?"
Cooper shook his head. "They have to wait until he wakes up to do anything."
"What happened? How did both of you guys hit your heads?" Thomas asked.
"We were fighting with Jake's friends. One of them threw me against a wall, and the other shoved Nat to the ground."
"Wait, Cooper said you told him that Jake had a gun, is that true?" David asked.
Rosalina nodded. "What happened to Jake? Do you guys know?"
"Apparently he was locked in one of the rooms in the building. I'm pretty sure he's in jail along with his friends now," Cooper said.
"I'm really sorry guys. I dragged you all into this," She said, looking at her band mates.
They all shook their heads.
"Rosalina, we're your friends. It's our job to help you guys," Cooper said.
"Yeah, like I said, I want to be there for you guys," Alex spoke up.
David, Thomas and Qaasim nodded in agreement.
"Thanks guys," Rosalina said, smiling at her friends.
The rest of the day went by slowly for the band. Rosalina never left Nat's bedside except for the bathroom. The guys never left the room, except to eat and use the bathroom. Nat didn't wake up, or show any signs of doing so soon. The nurse would come in and check on him and Rosalina every hour or so, but she didn't report any significant changes. Eventually, the guys had to leave because visiting hours ended, but they promised to come back the next day. Later that night, Rosalina was lying awake in bed thinking.
What if Nat didn't wake up? He didn't seem to be getting better. She on the other hand, seemed to be getting much better very quickly. She didn't deserve to get better. If anything, she should be the one who was still unconscious, and Nat should be the one awake and well. Then it was decided. She had to get better for Nat. So that she could help him get better.
…
The next week passed by agonizingly slow for the Naked Brothers Band. Nat didn't make any improvements, and he was actually starting to get worse. Rosalina was eventually released from the hospital, but still didn't leave Nat. The guys came and visited every day, and sometimes Alex stayed with Rosalina instead of going home with Jesse. Rosalina had convinced the nurses to let her stay past visiting hours, and the nurses and doctors didn't object any more. They knew it was useless to fight with Rosalina, and that she cared about Nat too much to leave him. Then almost two weeks later, while Rosalina and Alex were sitting in Nat's room, one of the nurses came in.
"Rosalina…Alex…I have some news for you."
"What is it?" Rosalina asked.
"I was talking to one of the doctors and they said…it doesn't look like Nat's going to get any better. They've decided their going to take him off life support."
"You mean…kill him?" Alex asked fearfully.
"No, not kill him," The nurse said quickly. "Put him out of his misery."
"So you mean kill him," Alex confirmed.
"Their giving him until tomorrow evening to improve. If he doesn't, their taking him off life support."
A/N-Okay, curse me with Santa.
I'm not worried. Don't worry.
Thoughts?
