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

Hey guys!

First of all, shoutout to Britishgurl13 for figuring out the story and getting it basically spot on. Haha, it's cool to get that kind of feedback that way. (She'd probably be the only one to understand that) but anywayyyy...

This story is going to be update more frequently because I've been working on this story for a while so like right now I'm posting chapter 3 but I just finished writing chapter 6, I think. BUT-I might be slowing down on updating because I won't be able to get on the computer for the next few days...

But I'm still glad you guys like this story! Really, I am.

Like I said though, some of this stuff didn't actually happen to me, I added some stuff to make it more interesting and to make it more...NBB-ish. Lol.

Enjoy!

It's been about a week since I told Nat what was going on at school. Things have been…okay, I guess. Juanita only talks to me at lunch, now that Matt sits with his friends. She only talks to me during lunch though. So today, when I walked into the cafeteria, I saw something that made my stomach do a backflip. And it's not the good kind.

Juanita wasn't sitting where we usually sat. She was sitting and laughing with Matt and his friends at another table.

I continued walking to our usual table, trying to shake it off. I hope no one saw that. As I sat down to the empty table, it finally hit me. I'd officially lost my best friend. Now not only did I not talk to her in the hallways, I wouldn't talk to her at lunch either. What happened? What made her move? Why did she move? I tried to shake the thoughts as I pulled out my lunch. But all I wanted to do was run home. All I wanted was run into my room and lock myself in there until I realized this was just a bad, bad dream. But I couldn't. So I ate my lunch, trying to act as if nothing was wrong so no one would think of me eating alone as anything weird. And when lunch was over I glared in the direction of Matt and Juanita. The glare wasn't so much for Juanita, but mostly for Matt. I knew he had something to do with this. He must've. Who else does Juanita even talk to?

For the rest of the day, all I wanted was to go home. I kept thinking over and over what if I had done something, what if I had said something. Did Matt say something to Juanita? Did he purposely pull her away from me? Did he think I was a threat to their relationship or something? At the end of the day I was more than happy to run out of the middle school and to Rosalina's car to go home but instead I ran straight into Nat.

"Whoa, slow down there, Alex," He said, holding by my shoulders. "Why are you in such a hurry?"

"I want to go home," I said, suddenly feeling tears in my eyes. Why was I crying? I don't cry ever.

"What happened? What's wrong?" He asked, giving me that same worried look he did last night. It wasn't one I saw too often either.

"Nat, I just want to go home," I said, trying to hold back the surprise tears. I didn't want anyone from school to see me cry. Ever.

"Okay, okay, let's go home." We walked to the car in silence but I could see out of the corner of my eye he kept giving me worried glances, but I pretended not to notice.

"Hey Alex, how was school?" Rosalina asked, smiling as we got into the car. But her smile slowly disappeared when she saw my reflection in the rearview mirror. "Alex, what's wrong?"

I leaned my head against the window and didn't answer. I'm afraid if I tried to talk I would start crying. I didn't want Rosalina to see me cry either.

She looked at Nat. "What happened?"

Nat shrugged.

"Do you still want me to come over for dinner?" She asked.

He whispered something to her and she nodded and started driving.

The ride home was in complete silence except for the outside noise. Not even Nat or Rosalina talked. When we got to the apartment, I quickly got out of the car, ran up to the apartment, let myself in with the spare key, ran to my bedroom, slammed the door, jumped face first onto my bed and buried myself under the covers. This was not an improvement. What happened? I was actually enjoying talking to Juanita during lunch. Keep in mind this had only lasted for a week. What had I said? What had I done? I kept trying to think of something I did, but I couldn't come up with anything. So why did Juanita move? Why didn't she sit with me?

Suddenly I could hear the apartment door open and Nat's voice through the door. "Alex! Alex are you in here? Alex!" I heard his footsteps walk up to the door and I could hear the door open. He sat down on the bed. "Alex, c'mon what happened?"

I didn't move.

"Alex, c'mon." He pulled down the cover so he could see my face, but since I was lying on my stomach, he pushed me so I'd lie on my side. "What happened?"

"Juanita moved her seat. She doesn't sit with me at lunch anymore."

"That's all that happened?"

"What do you mean 'that's all?'" I shouted, sitting up. "Do you know how it feels to sit alone at lunch with no one to talk to? Do you know how it feels to have no one to talk to at all, all day? No, I don't think you do because you have all the guys with you!" I threw myself back down onto the bed and pulled the covers over my head.

"Alex, I didn't mean it like that," He said, pulling the covers back down. "I just didn't think something like that would upset you so much."

"Yeah, well it did," I said angrily.

"I can see that."

"I don't even know what I did. She just moved her seat."

"Did you ever think maybe you're over-thinking this one a little bit?"

"What do you mean?"

"Maybe she just wanted to sit with her boyfriend and his friends for a day. Maybe tomorrow she'll be sitting back with you again."

"I don't know…"

"C'mon Alex, quit being so negative. You know that's probably what's going to happen. In fact, I bet you ten bucks that Juanita will be sitting with you at lunch tomorrow."

I sat up. "You're on."

Nat laughed and said, "Well hey, to make you feel better we ordered pizza from your favorite place."

"Really?" I asked, looking up at him.

"Yep. It'll be here soon so you should probably get started on your homework."

"Okay…thanks again Nat."

"Anytime little bro."

~NBB~

So the next morning, I felt a lot better because I started thinking. Nat was probably right. Juanita would probably be sitting there at our usual table at lunch. I had that feeling the whole morning until I caught up with Juanita before lunch. "Hey Juanita."

She suddenly looked uncomfortable. "Oh…uh, hi Alex."

Maybe I should just ask why she wasn't at the table yesterday. "Juanita was there a reason you–"

"Sorry Alex, I gotta go." She walked away from me and over to where Matt was waiting.

I walked into the cafeteria, acting as if everything was normal. But as I watched Juanita and Matt walk to their table, I thought only of one thing. Nat owes me ten bucks.

…

"So Alex, how'd it go today?" Nat asked, as we walked into the apartment later that day.

I decided to stop saying anything right after school because I didn't want Rosalina to worry about me. "You owe me ten bucks," I said, dropping my backpack and walking into the kitchen.

"What do you mean?"

I pulled the refrigerator open. "She didn't sit with me today. You owe me ten bucks."

"She didn't? Well what happened?"

I shrugged as I pulled out some left over pizza. "I tried talking to her too."

"And?"

"She walked away."

"You're acting weird," He said suddenly.

"What are you talking about?" I asked, hoping up on the counter with my pizza.

"Well usually you're upset but you seem…fine with it."

"I've decided there's no point in making a big deal about it because there's nothing I can do."

"So you're just giving up?"

I shrugged again. "I guess I'll try to talk to her. I don't know."

"Alex Wolff, I've never seen you act like this."

"Well if she doesn't care, why should I?" I snapped finally.

"You know you care, Alex. She's your best friend."

"She was my best friend."

"If you want her back you can't give up, Alex. And you know it."

I finished the pizza and hopped off the counter. "It's not as easy as it sounds."

"It's not any easier if you give up," Nat said.

"Why not?"

"If you give up, you'll have lost. How is losing any easier?"

A/N-That's some deep stuff Nat's saying there.

What do you guys think?
