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

Hey guys!

I'm so sorry for the late update. I've just gotten really caught up with some other stuff lately and haven't had time to write. That, and the fact that I've sort of been on writer's block for a while so...yeah.

But I'm back! and I'm going to try my hardest to keep writing for you guys, because you're all that amazing(:

Enjoy!

Nat's POV

She shook her head with tears in her eyes. "No, no, I can't," She said. "I can't just sit by and watch while you get hurt."

"Rosalina," I said, grabbing her arms, causing her to whimper. I hated doing this but she was stubborn, and this was the only way she'd listen. "You have to promise me that you will not tell anyone. If you do, I'll never forgive you."

"But Nat..."

"Promise me, Rosalina."

"I promise," She whimpered.

I could see in her eyes she was afraid of me. I relaxed my grip on her arms. "I'm sorry Rosie, but I can't risk getting us in trouble."

"But it'd be protecting you and Alex," She said quietly.

"Can you imagine that? Me and Alex having to leave our apartment, and live with our relatives in God knows where? I'd be away from you, and from New York and the guys. I can't do that to myself or Alex."

"I-I'm sorry."

"Don't be sorry. I'm sorry for scaring you."

She didn't say anything, only stared at me with a terrified look in her eyes.

"Rosie, I'm sorry," I sighed, letting her go and walking over to the mirror. "God, I just get angry so easily."

"No, no, it's okay, I-I'm fine."

"I scared you, there's no getting around it. God, I'm sorry."

"Nat, I'm okay." She walked up behind me and we looked at each other in the mirror. "I admit it, you did scare me a little bit, but I understand."

"I'm just like him, Rosie!" I leaned on the sink, staring at the faucet. "I'm just like him…" I whispered.

"No you're not. You're caring and you're sweet. Yeah, you do have a short temper. But we can work on that, okay?"

I didn't move.

"Nat, look at me."

I slowly looked up at her in the mirror.

"It's going to be okay," She told me.

I turned around to face her.

She took one step and hugged me tightly, burying her face into my chest.

I stroked her hair. "Thank you, Rosie."

"You want to know something?" She asked suddenly, pulling back. "My dad's never home. I'm lucky if I see him once a week, maybe."

"That's terrible," I mumbled.

She shrugged. "I'm used to it. After my mom died, my dad threw himself into his work and…just never seemed to pull himself back out."

"How did your mom die?" I asked, looking at her.

She glanced at the wall, and then at the floor. "I'd rather not discuss my mother's death in the bathroom." She looked up at me. "I'd rather not discuss it at all."

"Sorry."

"It's fine," Rosalina said. "So see? We all have our flaws. We all have something to handle. And this is yours and I have mine."

"I know."

"Let's go. Alex is probably wondering where we are." She turned to leave but I grabbed her wrist.

"Wait, so what happens now?"

"We get through this together; you, me and Alex."

I shook my head. "No, our relationship is not about to be all about me and my problems."

"It won't be. It'll be us getting through everything."

"You're so cheesy," I said, taking her hand.

She smiled. "Yeah, but you love me."

Rosalina's POV

Later that night, Nat and Alex had to go home, and to be honest it made me a little nervous. After everything Nat had told me today, I hated to see them leave. And as much as I wished they could stay here, I knew that would only cause more problems. (It's a long story) "You'll be okay, right?" I asked.

"Of course I will. And you'll be okay here alone, right?" Nat asked.

"Thanks for reminding me, but yeah I'll be fine. You better call me when you get home."

"Rosie, I–"

"Alex, make sure he calls me, please," I said, looking at the younger Wolff brother.

"Sure I will, Rosalina," Alex said smiling.

"See? Is that so hard?" I asked, looking up at Nat. "You just have to agree with me."

"She's right," Alex spoke up again, walking over to the door to stand next to us. "You're supposed to agree with women. It's like a rule."

Nat tried to grab his brother, but Alex ducked out of the way. "Get out of here, Alex."

I laughed as Alex walked into the living room. "Maybe you should listen to your little brother."

"When pigs fly," He joked. "But I'll call you, I promise. So I'll see you tomorrow?"

"Sure," I smiled and kissed him quickly.

He smiled. "I'll see you later Rosie. Alex, let's go."

Alex walked over to the door.

"Goodnight, Rosie."

"Night."

"Rosalina, wake up!"

I groaned. Nat was my alarm clock every morning now. Sometimes he was gentle and quiet, and other times he was loud and obnoxious.

"C'mon Rosie," He said, sitting on the bed.

I rolled onto my back and opened my eyes. "How are you?" I asked.

"Dad wasn't exactly happy that we didn't come home right away…" He said, looking away.

What was I supposed to say to that? Maybe you shouldn't come over anymore so your Dad doesn't hurt you, but you should go home so your dad can hurt you? "Nat, maybe you–"

"Rosalina, I honestly don't care. By the time we got home, he was tired and all he did was yell. It was actually kind of nice for a change."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, I'm positive." He kissed my forehead as he stood up from the bed and walked towards the door. "Get ready for school, okay? And I hope you don't mind that I brought Alex with me this morning."

"That's fine, I'll be right down."

…

"Alex? Where's Nat?"

"I'm not sure…his phone rang and he disappeared."

"Did you see which way he went?"

"He went upstairs, I think."

I turned and ran right back upstairs and looked through all the rooms. The only door I found closed was the bathroom door. I leaned close to the door to try to hear if Nat was inside. "Nat?" I asked through the door. Instead of waiting for an answer, I opened the door.

Nat was pacing back and forth in the bathroom on the phone. "I know…I know…I'll–Dad I know. I'm not using a tone…okay, we will. Are you working tonight? Okay." He hung up the phone.

"Your dad?" I asked, even though it obviously was.

He nodded.

"What happened?"

He sighed. "My dad just…" He shook his head. "I don't want to talk about it."

"It'll be okay though right?"

"I guess."

"We'll go to school and it'll get your mind off of things, right?"

"You mean go to school where all the teachers hate me?"

"Nat, c'mon. You'll get to see the guys, and you'll get to see me all day," I tried cheering him up.

"I'd much rather see you all day at home, not at school."

"Nat, we can't skip. We already did once this week, and you told me you wouldn't anymore, remember?"

"I never said that," He said, shaking his head again.

"No but you implied it," I said, giving him an innocent smile.

He rolled his eyes. "Rosalina, I swear–"

"And plus Alex is here, and we can't let him skip either. So please, could you just…bear school and all the teachers for just one more day?"

"Does that mean I don't have to go tomorrow?" He asked excitedly.

"I didn't say that," I said quickly.

"But you implied it."
