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

Hey guys!

So... this is the LAST chapter of "We Seem to Be Changing" ): I know, everyone's so upset (lol not really.) but I want to thank you guys SO SO SO SOOOO much for reading and reviewing this story. I think this is one of my most successful stories yet and I just want to thank you all for reading, reviewing, subscribing and just being so supportive of this story. It means the world to me, and it is also why I continue to write.

Okay. Now I have to say 2 things:

1.) After reading all of your guys' reviews, I don't know if you guys will be exactly "satisfied" with the ending of this story, and I did edit it slightly from the original chapter I wrote to kind of wrap up some loose ends, however I kind of like how this chapter is written, so I left it mostly the same way it was originally... did that make sense? But the point being I hope you guys like the ending. I think it's kind "eh" and you all know that I hate writing endings - even though whether or not I'm good at them is debatable- but whatever. Lol. So...yeah.

2.) I just wanted to say that my version of this story, the real life thing that happened to me (which this story is based off of) had a happy ending as well. (: Recently, my friend contacted me and apologized for all these problems and everything and she seemed very sincere about it so we are friends again. (:

So everything is happy right?! Alex and I both have happy endings with our best friends! (:

Enjoy!

That day I when I walked to the car, I was grinning. I was only grinning because I didn't want Nat to make a big deal about it. Either way, when I walked to the car and got inside, Nat gave me a look. "Not that I'm not happy that you're happy, but…why are you grinning?"

I just shrugged and leaned back in the seat. "Everything's great. Everything's just great."

"Do you mean that sarcastically?" He asked as Rosalina pulled away from the curb.

"No, I mean it literally."

"Wait, so what happened?"

"Juanita apologized."

This caused Rosalina to even stop the car and turn around to look at me. "What?" They both asked at the same time.

"She told me she wanted to talk to me after school. So I went with her and she apologized for everything. She said that she and Matt were terrible to me and she feels really bad about it, so she apologized. That's why she came over yesterday."

"That didn't look like what Matt wanted," Nat said.

"She didn't tell Matt what she was going to do."

"Wait, so did she break up with Matt?" Rosalina asked.

I shrugged. "I think she's going to though."

Nat looked a little surprised. "So you're just going to forgive her? Just like that?"

"Well…I mean, I know she's done a lot to me, but she's also my best friend Nat. I want her back more than anything. I'm not going to turn her down when she finally wants to be friends again."

"I'm not saying you should I'm just saying maybe you should think it over more–"

"Nat, it's okay. I know. She's going to have to gain my trust back. I'm not going to trust her completely yet."

"But I thought you said–"

"Yeah, she was my best friend, but after what she's done, I'm not sure if I can trust her. If she's really my friend, she'll be willing to earn it back."

Nat smiled at me. "You're handling it pretty well."

I shrugged again, my grin widening. "I had a little help."

~NBB~

The next day Juanita and I were playing video games in the apartment. This was after we had a really long conversation which basically–long story short–involved me telling her that I wouldn't be able to trust her completely just yet. I was glad though, because she understood completely and it made me feel better because that's the Juanita I knew her as. We were about to finish the level we were on when someone knocked at the door. "Nat, door now!" I yelled, not taking my eyes off the TV.

"Congratulations Juanita," Nat said, walking into the living room. "You've turned Alex into a teenager."

She laughed. "Don't worry I'll keep him in line."

"I'm right here!" I shouted, still not moving my gaze.

Nat opened the door, but I didn't hear what he said to the person because I wasn't really paying attention, but I was forced to pause the video game because he came over to me. "Alex," He said. "It's Matt."

I looked at Juanita. She had already broken up with Matt; she broke up with him the day she apologized. So what else could he want? "Should I go talk to him?" I looked back and forth between Juanita and Nat.

"Whatever you want bro," Nat said.

I sighed. "I guess I could talk to him." I walked over to the door and slightly opened it and slipped out into the hallway. "What do you want?"

"You stole my girlfriend," He said.

"I didn't steal her. It was her choice to break up with you. I didn't do anything. And don't talk about her like she's a piece of property. She's a person," I shot back.

"She's supposed to be my girlfriend."

"You know, I don't get it. I don't understand why you hate me when I didn't do anything to you."

"You talked about Juanita behind her–"

"That isn't true and you know that. I never talked behind Juanita's back. I never saw her enough to talk to her even once because she was always with you!"

"Which is why you started talking behind her back!"

"Quit lying to yourself!" I snapped. "Don't you get it? It's over! Everyone knows the truth and the more you spread the lie around, the stupider you look!"

"Yeah well…how do you think I feel?"

This is where I got lost. "What?" I asked confusedly.

"When Juanita and I first started dating, she only hung out with you. And then when we finally hung out together all she could talk about was how great you were, and how excited she was for your upcoming concert and blah, blah, blah. It was always about you!"

This actually surprised me. So…Juanita did talk about me? But it was…nice things?

"I was the one who told her that stuff so she'd stop talking about you. I didn't want to hear more about you. I wanted just to talk…so I told her that you'd been talking about her. And I guess I liked it so much that I just added to it and made it worse."

"You…I…" I was speechless. "Do you know how much trouble you've caused? Do you know what I've gone through these past few weeks?"

Matt didn't respond.

"Every day when I came home from school, I had worse news to tell my brother. And each time, I just got more and more upset. So upset that I didn't want to go to school, at first I didn't want to go to practice, I didn't want to go anywhere or do anything but lie in bed and try to rack my brain to think of why Juanita would hate me or think that those things were true." And when Matt still didn't say anything, I continued, "So if you're not here to apologize or say anything nice at all, you should probably leave."

"You're really not all that, Alex. I don't know what anyone sees in you," He said suddenly.

This took me by surprise completely. I thought Matt felt sorry for what he did. So much for that, I guess. Before I could respond the apartment door opened and Nat stepped into the hallway. "Is everything okay out here?" He asked looking at me.

"I was just asking Matt to leave," I said, looking from Nat to Matt. (A/N-Haha that rhymed! Sorry. Lol)

"Juanita will come back to me where she belongs eventually," Matt promised. "And you'll just become another washed up singer."

"Hey watch it," Nat said, stepping between us. "That's my brother your talking to."

"So what?" Matt challenged.

I shook my head. He shouldn't have said that.

"I'm not one for violence but I'm definitely not about to let a little eighth grader bully me," Nat said.

Matt glared at us. "You better watch your back Alex Wolff."

I shook my head as Nat took my shoulder and gently pushed me into the apartment. Once he shut the door behind us, he looked at me. "Are you okay?"

"It's an empty threat," I reassured him. "And even if it isn't, I'm not afraid of him. I never was. It was the fact that Juanita would never be my friend again that scared me."

"Really?"

We both looked to see Juanita standing a few feet away from us. "Well yeah, you are my best friend," I said.

She smiled and walked over to me. "I'm glad you forgave me Alex. I don't know how I could ever even think of my life without you around."

I grinned and shrugged. "Eh, it would just be really boring."

Nat and Juanita laughed. "I'm glad you're back too, Juanita," Nat said, looking at her. "Everything is back to normal now."

"Yeah, now we can go back to me kicking your butt at skating in video games and in real life," I joked, looking at her too.

"In your dreams, I'm way better than you virtually and in real life," She joked.

"Wanna test out that theory?" I challenged.

"It's not a theory if I know it's true," She shot back at me.

"You're on!" I said, as we both ran back to the T.V. Instead of running after her however, I turned back to Nat. "Hey Nat?"

"Yeah Alex?"

I grinned at him. "Thanks." I walked back over to the living room and sat next to Juanita. Everything was great. Everything was going to normal again. At this point, I didn't care what the kids at school thought of me anymore. I could care less what Matt thought, or what he planned to do. I didn't care who stood up for me in the bathroom (okay, that's a lie, I kind of did but if I didn't find out that wouldn't bother me so much). All I cared about was that I had my best friend back. No, things probably won't be exactly the same like it was before. And yes, it would probably take some time before I trust Juanita completely. But I was willing to look past that because I got my best friend back.

A/N-So...what'd you think? Cheesy right? I think cheesy are my best endings... lol.

Also remember: When one story ends, another begins, meaning that now that this story is over, I can work on "Maybe There's A Reason" and maybe another story...?

Thank you all again for reading and reviewing! oh and special shoutout to Britishgurl13 who is probably my most "active" reader, lol. (It's a long story...)

Leave a review! (:
