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

Hey guys!

Okay I'm super excited to say that I've figured out a title for my new story! Well, actually Britishgurl13 thought of it, so I have to say a HUGE thank you to her because I literally had no clue as to what I should call the story. So my new story shall be called "Maybe There's a Reason" (: I'll post it after this story is finished, or maybe a little eariler. You can thank Britishgurl13 for that too because I didn't originally plan on releasing the story so soon lol.

Anyway, thank you thank you thank you to Britishgurl13! Haha (:

And enjoy the chapter! (:

We drove to the park, and by the time we got there I was so pumped and ready for the concert. Just as we were walking backstage to get ready, I could hear someone calling me.

"Alex, hey Alex!"

I looked around and who else would it be but Danny. Of course he'd come here, I thought. I told Nat Danny was here and I walked over to him.

"Hey, you ready for the show?" He asked as I walked up.

"Yeah," I said shrugging. "Look Danny, I can't talk because we've got stuff to do for the show. So I'll see you later." I needed to get away from school and everything that reminded me of it, and Danny was included.

"Alex, wait," He said.

I turned back to face him. "Yeah?"

"You want to go to the skate park later?"

I thought it over. Maybe it would help…and maybe it wouldn't. What if the band did something after the show? "I'll tell you after the show." I walked back over to where Nat and Tuffy were waiting and we walked to the dressing room.

"Is everything okay?" Nat asked.

"Yeah, everything's fine. Danny just wanted to go skating later."

"So are you?"

I shrugged.

"Alex," He said, giving me a look. "He's really trying to be your friend. Why don't you give him a chance?"

"I told you, I don't want a new friend. I want my old friend."

"I get it that you miss Juanita, but you can't use that excuse forever. I know it's hard but maybe what you need to do is…move on."

I just shook my head. "I'm not giving up on Juanita. She was my best friend. And somewhere deep, deep down inside she's still that girl I met at the skate park. Maybe. I'm not going to let her hate me for the rest of our lives for something I didn't do."

"You really miss her don't you?" Nat stopped walking to face me.

I looked down. "Yeah, I do," I mumbled.

Nat put his hand on my shoulder as we continued walking. "It'll get better, bro. It always does."

I grinned, looking up at him. "The sun will find us all eventually, right?"

…

"And now give it up for New York's very own, The Naked Brothers Band!"

We all ran out on stage and the concert kicked off without any problems. We played a bunch of songs, newer and older. But it was when we were about to play "All I Needed" that I noticed some kids walking towards the crowd that had formed near the stage. At first I didn't think much of it; you know it was probably some kids who had come late or something. As they came closer, I began recognizing Matt and his friends and Juanita was with them. I shot Nat a look over my shoulder.

He gave me a confused look.

I gestured towards Matt and Juanita's direction.

Nat looked at Cooper who was standing just off stage. Cooper peeked through the curtain and quickly disappeared. Nat walked over to me and we pretended to do something with the drums but he leaned down and whispered, "Are you okay?"

I nodded.

"Just keep playing. Everything will be fine."

I nodded again as he walked away, the band gave us some looks but I just brushed them off. I'd tell them later. I started the opening notes for "All I Needed" as I saw Tuffy make his way over to where Matt and Juanita were standing. As I was singing, I watched them closely.

Tuffy walked over and said something to them, and to my surprise, Juanita spoke up. Tuffy said something back, and then Matt started talking for them. As Matt was talking, Juanita looked at me, and I quickly looked away, focusing on my drums.

After we finished "All I Needed" it was time to play a song I asked Nat to add to the set list yesterday at practice. I asked him yesterday if we could add in "Changing" and Nat was all for it. I didn't usually play it at concerts but for some reason I felt like today would've been a good time to start. I glanced at Nat, then over to where Tuffy was still talking to Matt and his group. When we started playing, I could tell Juanita recognized the song, because her eyes were glued to the stage the whole way through. Just as the song was ending, Tuffy was finally able to get them to leave, but Juanita kept glancing over her shoulder.

We played two more songs after that, with no other problems and finished the concert with a standing ovation. We all ran off stage and back to the dressing rooms. I had to admit, besides the fact that Matt and Juanita showed up, the concert was amazing. It was small, but it was still a concert and it made me feel great. I was sitting on the couch and the band was still talking excitedly about the concert when I noticed that Cooper was talking to Tuffy by the door.

"Wait so what happened during the concert?" Thomas asked, making everyone go quiet.

"Yeah, what happened?" David asked, looking at Cooper.

"Juanita and her boyfriend came," I spoke up, causing everyone to look at me.

"That's who Juanita was with?" Rosalina asked. "That's her boyfriend?"

I nodded. "What'd they say Tuffy?"

"Well I asked them if they would leave, because they were causing a disturbance and Juanita started explaining how they only wanted to see the show but then another boy just stepped in front of her and started talking for her," Tuffy said.

"What'd he say?" I asked.

"All this stuff about how they weren't a disturbance and the rules were stupid and all this nonsense. So I told them that if they didn't leave right then, I would have to escort them out or even call the police and that got them to leave."

"Juanita's boyfriend sounds like a real jerk," Thomas said.

"Tell me about it," I said.

"It's okay Alex," Qaasim spoke up. "You don't need someone like that in your life anyway."

Nat sat next to me on the couch. "He's right bro."

"And anyway," Rosalina said. "You'll always have us, even when we're not a band anymore."

The band nodded in agreement.

"Yeah Alex, we got your back," David said.

"Thanks guys," I said, smiling at them.

"Now I say we go back to Nat and Alex's and celebrate," Cooper said.

"With pizza?" Thomas asked hopefully.

"What is it with boys and food?" Rosalina asked, rolling her eyes.

"We're growing," All the guys said at once.

We all laughed and followed Tuffy as he led the way back to the bus. I was almost inside when I heard someone calling me again. Oh right, I forgot about Danny. I walked over to where Danny was waiting, with a bunch of other fans. They all started screaming when I walked over and I smiled at them, but I looked at Danny.

"So you wanna go skate?" He asked.

"Sorry," I said. "The band's hanging out today."

"Oh…okay."

"Maybe tomorrow though," I said, remembering what Nat said. I was only going to do this to get him off my back.

"Sure, I'll meet you there in the afternoon."

"Cool, I'll see you then." I waved to the fans again and walked back to the bus. We drove back to the apartment and hung out like we usually did. I kicked butt in video games, we had pizza, watched movies and in the end the band ended up staying over so we all stayed out in the living room. When it got dark outside, Thomas, David and Qaasim took turns telling ghost stories which were supposed to be scary but really weren't. As it got later, we just ended up lying around the living room in the dark talking, which was something we actually hadn't done in a while. There was a pause and I decided to speak up.

"Hey guys?"

"What is it, Alex?" Nat answered from somewhere across the room.

"Thanks for caring about me," I paused to yawn. "It means a lot."

"It's what we're here for little man," Qaasim said.

"I don't need any of those kids at school. You guys are my best friends."

"Aw, we love you too Alex," Thomas joked.

"But I'll never admit I said any of this tomorrow so enjoy it while it lasts," I said.

A/N-Oh Alex. Lol. So what's everyone's predictions now?

Leave a review!
