Chapter 9: Baby

"Nat, I can't just forgive you." Rosalina said, getting up and walking down the hall. She glanced back at him as she wiped away her tears. She went into the bathroom to talk to Kristina.

"I can't deal with this!" Rosalina cried. Kristina looked up from the mirror and saw Rosalina crying.

"What hon?" Kristina asked, hugging her. "Nat?"

"Who else makes me cry this much?" Rosalina asked. "I just had a total flashback of that horrible fight and it makes me even more pissed off about it."

"Hey, we gotta get outta here. It'll be okay." Kristina said. The only person sitting there was Nat, who had his guitar with him. The rest of the boys were sitting in the corner Rosalina and Kristina had been camped out in. Kristina whispered to Rosalina, "Go."

Rosalina debated it in her head for a minute and sat down across from Nat. "What?"

"Alright, I wanna play a song for you. And, it kind of fits this situation so just listen okay? Nat said. Rosalina nodded as he started to strum the opening to Baby by Justin Bieber. "I know you love me, I know you care. Just shout whenever, and I'll be there. You want my love, you want my heart. And we will never, ever, ever be apart. Are we an item, girl quit playing. Were just friends, what are you saying? Take another good look in my eyes, my first love broke my heart for the first time and I was like, baby, baby, baby, noo. I'm like baby, baby, baby, noo. I'm like baby, baby, baby noo. I thought you'd always be mine. Baby, baby, baby ohh. I'm like baby, baby, baby noo. I'm like baby, baby, baby ohh. I thought you'd always be mine. For you, I woulda done whatever. And I just can't believe we ain't together. And I'm gonna play it cool, while I'm losing you. I'll buy you anything; I'll buy you any ring. And I'm in pieces, baby fix me. Shake me til you wake me from this bad dream. Going down, down, down. And I just can't believe my first love won't be around and I'm like baby, baby, baby ohh. I'm like baby, baby, baby no. Baby, baby, baby, oh. I thought you'd always be mine. Baby, baby, baby oh. I'm like baby, baby, baby no. I'm like baby, baby, baby, ohh. I thought you'd always be mine." Nat sang as he continued to strum along. When it got to Ludacris part, he stopped strumming and started to rap it. "When I was 13, I had my first love. There was nobody that ever compared to my baby and there ain't nobody that could ever come above. She had me going crazy, oh I was star stuck. She woke me up daily, don't need no Starbucks. She make my heart pound and skip a beat when I see her on the street and at school on the playground , but I really wanna see her on the weekends. She know she got me dazing cause she was so amazing and now my heart is breaking but I just keep on saying...baby."

"Nat..." Rosalina said. She couldn't help but smile. "That's my favorite song."

"I know, and I had to stop before the end because I'm not gone Rosalina." Nat told her. "I'm always here for you. Here, I want you to have it. Even if were not together anymore. "

"You kept it? All these years?" Rosalina asked as he handed her the old bracelet.

"Of course I did." Nat said. "You think I'd forget about my baby? I know it was horrible. Looking back on it now, I feel like the biggest douche bag and I'm so sorry I ever said that stuff and pushed you that far. But Rosalina, you're the one. My life without out you for the last 6 years may seem great from the outside, you know, world tours, hit albums, screaming fans, sold out shows and traveling the world. But I didn't really enjoy it all like I should have. It should been the Naked Brothers Band, not just me and Alex. The reason I formed the band was to have fun with my friends and share my music. But it turned into something I really loved and I wanted to take it as far as possible. And it tore my life apart. I lost my dad, who hasn't spoken to us for 4 years, I lost my best friends since pre-K, and I lost you." Nat said. "I want it back, I want it all back."

"Nat, I don't know if I can just forgive you right away."

"Well, at least think about it, okay?" Nat asked her.

"Alright..." She said, getting up. She turned around and saw the disappointed faces of Kristina and everyone else. Rosalina turned around and saw a disappointed Nat putting his guitar back in its case. She ran back towards him. Nat noticed and scooped her up into his arms for a hug. He spun her around and looked into her eyes. They both smiled at each other and leaned in for a kiss. Kristina and the boys all cheered and smiled at the sight of the old lovebirds together again.

"It was the song, wasn't it?" Nat asked when they pulled apart. He was still holding her in his arms. She smiled even wider. "I knew it! Boy, am I romantic or what?!"

"Oh shut up and give me another kiss Mr. Wolff." She grinned, leaning in and quickly kissing him again.
