here's the first chapter to the sequel of my story, "Something Life Changing." It's not necessary to have already read that one before reading this one but i suggest you do anyway! this will be a highly Natalina based story i think (i know that breaks all your hearts haha not) which is different for me because my last several stories had several story lines to keep up with. I'm not sure how often i will update this because i only have a main basis of where i want the story to go so it might be longer in between chapters. this is the first story I've written in a long time that doesn't have the characters in high school so it will be weird but i'm excited for this one and the one to follow (yes, there will be another story after this one!) Well enough of me talking, here it is!

Chapter 1

"I'm home!" 24 year old Rosalina announced as she walked into the Wolff's apartment, where she now lived with Nat and Alex. Mr. Wolff moved down to sunny Florida with Betty after Alex graduated from high school.

"Hey," Alex said, nodding his head up at Rosalina as he walked down the stairs. He headed to the kitchen and grabbed a carton of milk out of the fridge. Alex had hit his growth spurt shortly after Rosalina's accident her senior year of high school and now he was now the height of his brother, both of them towering over Rosalina. His hair was still curly as when he was a kid, but he cut it shorter and now donned glasses more often. "How was school today?"

"I'm sure glad it's Friday," Rosalina sighed, referring to her job at Amigos as a high school English teacher. "How'd the exam go?"

"Nailed it," Alex smiled proudly. Rosalina held her hand up across the counter and Alex smacked her five. "Thanks for the help with it all."

"No problem, it's my job, literally." Rosalina giggled, running her hands through her long hair. It was lighter than when she was in high school but still beautiful as ever. "Where's your brother?"

"He was finishing up some lessons at the studio before we catch our flight tonight." Alex explained. Although the Naked Brothers Band broke up shortly after the boys graduated from high school, Nat and Alex started up a duo act and were starting to promote their first album with gigs. They had a gig in Chicago that weekend at the venue where the Naked Brothers Band played their first show so the whole gang was heading there to support them.

"Oh right he did mention that at lunch." Rosalina remembered. "Is Juanita coming with us?"

"Yeah she had her exam after mine so she should be here soon." Alex told her. "I'm excited to see Dave and Q, it's been awhile."

"Me too, I miss those two." Rosalina smiled, thinking about David and Qaasim. David moved out to LA to be with Victoria Justice shortly after graduating from high school. He went to school out there and now worked for a sports agency. He and Victoria make it back to New York often though, as she has a lot of appearances back home. Qaasim moved down to New Orleans and attended Tulane with Little Grace. He now worked as a chemist while Little Grace worked in a daycare. "I'm going to head down the hall; I'll be back in a little."

"Okay, I better start packing, eh?" Alex smirked, heading back upstairs to his room. Rosalina laughed and headed to the hallway outside their apartment. She walked to the end of the hall and knocked once on the apartment's door before pushing it open.

"You two better have some clothes on!" Rosalina exclaimed as she entered the room.

"Jeez, ever hear of knocking?" Thomas yelled from the couch, still in his Amigos football team gear from workouts. Thomas was the head football coach and gym teacher at Amigos.

"Yeah I did, you ass." Rosalina said, smacking the back of his head, which still had the short haircut he received from his best friends in high school. "Hey I've been meaning to ask you, why hasn't Troy Walker been turning in his homework in my class?"

"Because Walker's been under crazy pressure from me and the scouts." Thomas responded, looking over at Rosalina, who sat down on the arm of the couch. "Plus, your homework is probably stupid."

"Number one, my homework is not stupid. Number two, that's no excuse. Make sure he turns it in Monday or your quarterback will be deemed academically ineligible." Rosalina told him, patting his back. "Where's your girl?"

"Upstairs, packing my bag for the trip." Thomas told her. "I hate you by the way."

"Yeah yeah, I know." Rosalina said. "Wait, she packs your bag for you? Damn do you do anything by yourself? You're lucky you've got an amazing girlfriend."

"Hell yeah, that's why I love her!" Thomas smiled. Rosalina headed upstairs and into the master bedroom.

"Hey lady," Rosalina smiled, plopping herself down on the bed. "Why do you pack his suitcase for him? He is capable, you know."

"We have a deal, I pack it and he has to carry it everywhere." Kristina smiled at her best friend. Her hair was up in a bun on top of her hair, barely changed from high school.

"You guys are weird," Rosalina shook her head. "Is everything set for the concert tomorrow?"

"Yeah Cooper and Patty took an earlier flight this morning to get there and make sure all of the equipment arrives." Kristina explained. She worked as Nat and Alex's publicist side by side with Cooper and Patty. "How excited are you to return to the place you and Nat had your first concert together?"

"Pretty damn excited," Rosalina sheepishly smiled. "It was also the place he kissed me for the first time. I mean it was a peck on the check but I'll never forget it."

"You two have way too much history to keep track of," Kristina laughed, zipping the suitcase shut. "How long has it been since then anyway?"

"15 years almost to the day," Rosalina smiled, thinking of how far she and Nat had come since then. "It's crazy how much life has changed since then."

"Yeah I'm sure it won't stop anytime soon," Kristina smirked. "You two have a way of keeping things exciting."

"What's that supposed to mean?!" Rosalina explained, interrupted by her phone beeping from her pocket. She pulled it out and looked at her new text from Nat.

Nat: I'm home, where are you? We're leaving soon.

"Nat's home, I'll see you in a little bit." Rosalina told her as Kristina walked towards the bathroom. "This conversation is not over!"

"Oh chill I didn't mean anything by it," Kristina laughed. "We'll meet you guys downstairs in a little; Coop sent a car to pick us up."

"You're a brat, but okay." Rosalina yelled as she walked back down the stairs. Thomas hadn't moved from the couch.

"Hey, don't call my girlfriend a brat, you brat." Thomas insulted, making Rosalina laugh. She left the apartment and headed back down the hall towards her apartment. She found the front door open and saw Nat standing with his back to her. His short, thick brown hair was hidden underneath a backwards Yankees hat and a hoodie and jeans covered his tall frame. Rosalina snuck up behind him and jumped on his back, making Nat jump in fear.

"Hi handsome," She kissed his cheek. "I missed you."

"Jeez Rosie, you nearly gave me a heart attack." He exclaimed as he lowered Rosalina to the ground. He pulled her into a quick kiss. "It's only been a few hours since lunch."

"Those few hours were too long," Rosalina scrunched up her face and smiled up at her boyfriend. He had only gotten more handsome as the years passed. They had been together since the accident Rosalina was in her senior year of high school and she didn't plan on them being apart ever again. Nat was talking about something that happened at the studio but Rosalina was lost in his eyes. God, those eyes got her. "Hey, do you think we have enough time before we leave to…you know."

"Oh really? Well I think it could be arranged." Nat's eyes widened and he grabbed Rosalina's hand to pull her towards their bedroom.

"No time to fool around," Alex stopped them at the stop of the stairs. He and Juanita were emerging from his room with their suitcases. "The car is here."

"Damnit," Nat and Rosalina both said under their breath.

"You know, you guys should be the ones keeping me from getting it with my girl, not the other way around." Alex scolded as the four of them went back down the stairs. "You two are supposed to be my parental guardians."

"Oh shut up, you punk." Rosalina laughed, tousling Alex's shorter curly hair.
