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

Hey guys!

Lots happens in this chapter...

Enjoy! (:

Nat's POV

"Nat? Nat are you okay?" Rosalina was sitting next to me now with a worried look on her face. "Nat?"

"I-I'm fine. I was just…thinking."

"About what?" She asked.

"What's going to happen to my dad?"

Rosalina looked at the guys.

The guys all left and Alex stayed in his spot sitting on the edge of the couch. He looked down.

"Nat…I thought Dr. Brennan would've told you, but I guess he didn't…"

"Tell me what? What happened?"

"Nat, relax, don't get all worked up over it–"

"Rosalina, just please tell me what's going on."

"Your dad…he passed away."

"What?! And you didn't tell me?!"

"I-I thought Dr. Brennan would tell you, I thought he did!" She defended. "I didn't bring it up again because I-I didn't want you to get upset."

"It's a little late for that now don't you think? How could you not tell me my own father died?!"

"I'm sorry, I would've told you first thing but I thought you knew."

"What about Alex? Did Alex know?"

She nodded silently.

"And you didn't tell me either? You're not upset at all?" I said looking past Rosalina at Alex.

He glanced at me and the looked down at his lap. "Well…the only father I remember is the one who would try to hurt me, but ended up hurting you…and I mean, I know he's my dad, but…isn't it better for everyone if he's finally gone? Now he can't hurt himself or anyone else."

"How could you say that about your own father?" I shouted at Alex. "You mean you think he's better off dead?!"

Rosalina spoke up again, "Nat, that's not what he's saying and you know it, don't yell at him–"

"But neither of you could tell me?!" I snapped. "Neither of you thought to mention that my father is dead?!"

"Don't get worked up over–"

"No, I will get worked up over this because my father is dead!" I moved to get off the couch. "Forget sitting here, I'm going to my room. I'd rather be alone." I stood up from the couch, not even thinking about what might happen if I got up too fast. At this point, I didn't care.

"Nat, be careful," Rosalina said, grabbing my hand.

"Just leave me alone!" I shouted, pulling my arm away from her and unintentionally pushing her.

I could see Rosalina flinch, and suddenly I realized what I was doing.

The guys all came out of the kitchen and walked up behind Rosalina. "What's going on?" Cooper asked.

I had hurt her. Maybe not physically, but it happened. I yelled and screamed at her, when in actuality she didn't do anything wrong. It was my temper that had taken over again. "Rosie…" I reached out to grab her hand, but she stepped out of my reach, shaking her head.

"No, you're right…I'll just leave you alone." She turned and pushed through the guys, who all looked at me.

"Rosalina," I moved to go after her, but the guys held me back.

"Nat, maybe you just need to relax," Cooper said.

"Yeah, just give her some space for a little bit," Qaasim agreed.

"And you should probably go lie down too, remember?" Cooper added. "C'mon." He led me into my room, but I kept my gaze down the hallway to the living room.

Rosalina's POV

"Rosalina, you know he doesn't mean it," Alex said, sitting next to me. "He's just mad."

"I know."

"Just please don't dump him," He said. "Don't leave him. Don't leave us. Not now. We need you."

"I'm not leaving Alex, don't worry," I said, putting my arm around him. "I'm not going anywhere."

The guys came back into the living room. "Are you okay Rosalina?" Thomas asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine."

"You know Nat didn't–"

"I know Cooper," I interrupted him. "I know he was just angry. Trust me."

"You're not going to break up with him are you?" David asked. "He'll beat himself up if you do."

"No, no I'm not breaking up with him and I'm not mad. We all just need to give Nat some space and time to calm down. I'll go talk to him in a few minutes."

"Uh…guys, can I talk to you in the kitchen?" Alex said standing up from the couch. All of the guys walked into the kitchen, but I stood nearby listening to what they were saying.

"How's Nat?" Alex asked.

"He's really upset in there," Cooper said.

"That's because Rosalina's so important to him," David said.

"He's different with Rosalina, but it's a good different," Thomas said. "He seems so much happier with her…as gross as it is."

"Do you think he'll get mad and hurt her?" Qaasim asked.

"Never," Alex said. "He cares about her a lot."

"Well I don't doubt it but still–"

"Cooper," Alex interrupted. "He wouldn't dare. Rosalina is the one person who can keep him calm, trust me."

"Guys," I said, walking into the kitchen. "Nat's not going to hurt me. That shouldn't even be a question."

"Rosalina, you know we aren't questioning it, we just want you to be safe," Cooper said.

"I know, and I appreciate you guys looking out for me but I'll be okay." And when they didn't respond I added, "I'm going to go talk to him." I didn't let them respond to that, and I walked out of the kitchen and made my way to Nat's room. I knocked on the door.

"Cooper, I don't want to talk. I'm fine," I heard him through the door. I opened the door and cautiously stepped inside.

"Rosie," He said looking up at me.

"Are you okay?" I asked, keeping my distance.

"Rosie, please…" He got up from the bed and I stepped back. "I'm fine," He said. "I'm more worried about you."

"I'm fine," I said.

"Then why do you keep backing away from me?"

"I-I'm not, I just…" What was I doing? I wasn't afraid of him. I could never be afraid of Nat. He just made me nervous, I guess? "I'm not."

"I'm sorry Rosie. I really am. I didn't mean to push you. I didn't mean to get so upset or hurt you."

"You didn't hurt me."

"I scared you. I can tell."

"No, you didn't. I just wanted to give you some space."

"Are you okay? I didn't hurt you?"

I shook my head and slowly walked over to him. I sat down next to him. "I'm sorry I didn't let you explain."

"It's not your fault. None of it is your fault," He said taking my hand. "I'm sorry."

"Are you really?" I kept a hold on his hand and led him out of his bedroom. I led him over to the piano. "Play," I told him when he sat down.

He played a few notes and then sang softly, "I have lost my dignity among the things flown from me, I can stop myself to think, I've lost the power over my mind…over my mind…over my mind…over my mind…I cannot control my thoughts once was happy now distraught, singing sadly happy tunes I've lost the power over my mind…over my mind…over my mind…I've taken steps to do what's wrong, got in my way all along. There were amends but they're all gone. Watch me tumble down, over my mind…over my mind…I cannot fix my mistakes, cause there is nothing left to break, I'll feel the same forever more, I've lost the power over my mind…"

"Do you really feel that way?" I asked after he stopped for a while.

The guys had all been watching in the living room.

"No," He shook his head. "That's depressing. I just wrote it because…it's too hard to explain."

"Well you feel better now, right?"

"Yeah, I'm sorry," He said again. "I'm sorry for everything. I'm sorry you're stuck here, and I'm sorry for everything that's gone wrong; even if it's not my fault."

"It's okay," I said. "I never blamed you for anything. And why are you apologizing?"

"I feel like I owe you a few."

"You owe me none," I said. "Plus without you my senior year probably would've been really, really boring."

"So you're not leaving, right?" Alex asked walking over to the piano.

Nat looked at me. "You were going to leave?"

"No, I was never going to leave." I gave Alex a look. "I told you once and I'll tell you again, you're stuck with me."

He smiled. "No actually, I think you are stuck with all of us."

"And I wouldn't have it any other way."
