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

Hey guys!

So I know I said I'd update around every Saturday, but let's just say I'll update every weekend, because yesterday I was so busy and when I got home all I did was sleep...sooo...

Enjoy the chapter! (:

Rosalina's POV

I walked into Nat's apartment and was about to head into his room when I saw him standing in the kitchen holding a beer bottle. "Nat, what are you doing?!" I was shocked. Nat wouldn't have…he couldn't have….

He turned around in surprise, still holding the glass bottle, which was luckily unopened. "I…I…um…"

"Nat, please tell me you weren't…"

"No!" He said loudly. "God no, never…I would never drink."

"Then why are you holding that?"

He quickly put it back in the fridge and shut the door. "I was looking for something to eat and that…that's all that's in the fridge."

"There's no food here?" I asked worriedly.

He shrugged.

"Then what has Alex been eating all this time?"

"There's food in the cabinets, but I…can't reach it." He gestured to his side.

I walked over to the cabinet and pulled down a half empty box of cereal.

He got his own bowl and spoon, poured the cereal and almost happily ate it dry. "This is the best thing I've ever eaten," He said around his mouth full of cereal.

I laughed. "I think that's the hunger talking, but good to know. It looks like Jesse has some shopping to do."

"Jesse has a lot to do," He said after he swallowed. He sat down at the kitchen table. "I haven't seen her all day."

"What about your–"

"I'm fine really, just a little sore when I move."

"Good," I said, sitting next to him.

"How's school?"

"You really want to know?" I asked, hopping up on the counter across from the table.

Nat shrugged. "Amuse me," He said, putting his bowl in the sink.

I grinned. "I thought about my boyfriend the whole time."

"Really?" He asked, stepping closer to me.

"Yeah…" I was barely able to get the word out before he leaned in a kissed me.

It went from a simple kiss to a pretty passionate make-out session. He put his hand on my cheek as I ran my hands over his chest. We stayed that way until we needed air and I pulled back.

He smiled at me. "We need to do that more often."

"As much as I'd like to, I need to get back to school," I said, hopping off the counter.

"You're leaving me?" He asked, following me to the front door.

"Sadly yes, I'm leaving. But I'll be back after school with Alex. Hopefully Jesse will reappear by then, but since you can move around now, I think you should be okay."

"Now I just have to worry about going back to that stupid doctor at the creepy hospital…"

"Nat, it's–"

"For my health," He interrupted, rolling his eyes. "I know, Rosie. But that doesn't take away from the fact he's creepy."

"He is not creepy."

"He's creepy Rosalina, and so is that hospital."

"You're just saying that because you hate hospitals."

"No, I'm not. I'm saying it because he wanted me to stay there. I could never do that."

"We'll talk about this later. I have to go, I'll see you later."

"Bye Rosie," He said, leaning in and kissing me.

"Bye Nat. Behave while I'm gone."

As I walked out of the apartment I heard him call after me, "I'm not twelve!"

…

"So Rosalina how's Nat?" Cooper asked that day while we were walking out of school. The rest of the guys were with us too.

"Yeah, when's he coming back?" Thomas asked.

"I think Monday. I hope."

"How's he doing?" Cooper asked.

"He's fine of course," Thomas spoke up. "He's probably just milking it so he can stay home."

"That's true, I don't know anyone or anything that can keep Nat Wolff down," David agreed.

I wanted to speak up again, but I remained quiet. If only they knew the real story. But I knew this was a promise I had to keep for Nat. It wasn't my place to tell them anything. If they were going to find out, Nat had to be the one to tell them. "You guys should come over this weekend," I said finally. "I'm sure Nat and Alex would like that a lot."

"Come over? I don't know about that…" Cooper said.

"Why not?" I asked, looking at him.

"Nat doesn't like anyone coming over," Qaasim responded.

At first I didn't understand, but then it clicked. Nat wouldn't let anyone come over because of his dad. But his dad was gone now. Would Nat want them to know that? Would they understand? "Oh…right, well…maybe I can talk Nat into it. He probably needs a break."

"Good luck with that," Thomas said.

"What do you mean?"

"This is Nat we're talking about," David said.

"And he's not easily convinced. He's really stubborn," Cooper continued. "Actually, he's the most stubborn person I've ever met."

"I'll talk to him," I reassured them.

"Well, if you can convince him…have him call me," Cooper said.

"Sure thing, Cooper. I'll see you guys later." I walked over to the middle schools doors and waited for Alex. As I was waiting I texted Nat:

I'm picking up Alex now. We have to talk when I get back.

"Hey Rosalina," Alex said, walking up to me.

"Hey Alex, how was school?"

He shrugged as we began walking away from school. "The same, I guess."

My phone vibrated and I saw a reply from Nat:

Am I in trouble?

"Is that Nat?" Alex asked, glancing at my phone and then up at me.

"Yeah," I said, quickly typing Nat a reply. "I was just telling him we were on our way home."

"You know he really likes you. I mean really, really likes you."

"You think so?"

"I don't think, I know," Alex said. "I don't know if you knew, but before he was with you, he didn't really care about the whole 'dating' thing."

"What do you mean?"

"He just never really stuck with one girl. Every other day he'd bring home some different girl, make out with her on the couch, and then she'd be gone before I could even catch her name. It's different with you. I can tell he's going to stick with you."

"Where's all of this coming from?" I asked, looking at him curiously.

"I'm just telling you the truth. He's really happy with you. He's a lot happier than he was anyway. I'm rooting for you guys in the long run."

"Why's that?"

"Because I like you," He said, then quickly adding. "Not like that, but you know."

"Well what's so different about me from the other girls?"

"You bothered to learn my name. And you don't just think of me as some stupid little kid, like all the other girls. You treat me equally…sort of."

I laughed.

"No, I'm serious! And you aren't with Nat just to make out with him. You're with him because…well…"

"I'm with him because I care about him and because he's sweet and nice…"

"Okay, okay," Alex said, putting his hands up to stop me. "I get it. Don't go all mushy on me."

I laughed again. "Good to know I have the Alex Wolff Stamp of Approval."

"You do for sure," He said, as we walked into the apartment building. "But Rosalina, please stay with my brother. He makes a lot of mistakes, and he obviously isn't perfect. And he might do things that make you want to hit him or things you just don't understand. But you have to stay with him. He's happier with you. He's better with you."

A/N-Aw how sweet of Alex(:
