Pretty Little Psycho.

Madeline only woke up when she heard Zacky moving in the bed, and she opened her eyes to see him pulling his shirt on. She'd been a little disappointed last night when that was as far as he wanted to go, but in retrospect, it was probably good that nothing had happened. Madeline would have loved to have slept with Zacky, but she would also like to be sober when it happened. But whatever had happened last night seemed to have sparked something, and Madeline didn't think the idea of Zacky wanting to have sex with her was such a far-fetched one anymore. "What Matt doesn't know won't hurt him," Madeline mumbled, sitting up in bed. She waited for Zacky to leave before she climbed out of bed, gathering her things before going to the bus. "As a matter of fact, I did," Madeline told Roxie when she asked if she'd had fun. "Okay, so you absolutely cannot tell Matt what I'm about to say, but...I kissed Zacky last night. I'm pretty sure we made out and when I woke up earlier he was still in my bed and he was putting his shirt on, which means it had to have come off at some point..."

---

After Roxie left, Matt slipped into the bathroom in the hotel room to take a quick shower. He always felt dirty after a night of heavy drinking, and he would rather shower here than in the tiny, cramped shower on the bus. After he'd finished, Matt grabbed his things and headed down to where the bus was waiting. He didn't spot Emily's car, so she must've gone to pick up Roxie, which meant they could get on the road soon. After this show in Ontario, they would be getting on a plane to go to Europe, which was sure to be fun. The other guys slowly filtered out of the hotel, Zacky being the last, and Matt was quick to approach the guitarist. "How come you didn't come to my room last night?" he asked, raising an eyebrow in suspicion. He pointed a finger at Zacky. "You better not have laid a hand on my sister, Zack. I'll kill you." Turning away from Zacky, Matt looked over when he heard the crunch of tires on concrete. Emily's car pulled up and she and Roxie climbed out. "Here, I'll get some of your shit," Matt offered, grabbing a few of Roxie's bags from Emily's car. "We're still waiting on Madeline, so you can just hang out around the bus."

Zacky looked at Matt, holding his bag, "I just went back to my room and got some sleep. I was tired and didn't feel like drinking anymore." He said, shrugging. He smiled as he walked towards the guys and climbed onto the bus. He sat on the couch waiting for everyone to get ready to go. Zacky took a sip of his water then was glad when everyone was finally on the bus. "Let's get this show on the road." He said, laughing.

---

Roxie smiled as Matt grabbed her things, "Thanks." She said watching as he walked away. She looked at Madeline and stared at her in shock at what she said. "Damn girl you are lucky." She said, laughing as they walked on the bus. She quit talking once they realized the guys were looking at them. Roxie sat down on one of the couches and pulled her laptop out. She began to edit some of her pictures as the bus moved. She knew it always took up time.

@ ZackyEffingVengeance

"You don't have to tell me," Madeline said under her breath, trying to keep quiet as Matt approached. Once he was gone, she leaned back in closer to Roxie. "I've had a thing for Zacky for forever. I've been dreaming about kissing him since I was fourteen. I just wish he wasn't such a gentleman, because then I probably could've gotten laid," she grumbled, heading onto the bus with Roxie. She took her bag to the back room, since that was where she slept, and stashed her bag before going back into the living room area, taking a seat next to Zacky on one of the couches.

---

Matt took Roxie's bags and put them in the back room. He figured she'd probably sleep back here with Madeline. He headed back to the living room area, grabbing a beer from the fridge before sitting down next to Roxie on one of the couches. He glared at Zacky as he popped the top off of his beer. He didn't quite believe the guitarist's explanation as to where he'd gone last night, but there wasn't much he could do about it without any proof. Matt turned his attention to Roxie, flicking his eyes down to her computer. "Watcha doing?" he asked. "Editing pictures?"

Zacky looked at Madeline, "A little hungover?" He teased. He knew she was probably still a little hungover. Zacky looked over, feeling Matt glare at him Zacky sighed as he got up and got himself a beer. He looked over at Brian and Johnny who were dicking around. He shook his head, "Can you ever be calm??" He asked laughing. Zacky plopped down on the couch and took a swig of his beer.

---

Roxie looked at him, "Yea just some random ones." She said, shrugging. She took a sip of her drink then focused on what she was doing. She looked ay Matt, "So how long of a ride is it to Ontario?" She asked. She knew it would be awhile but she waa curious. Roxie ran her fingers though her hair as she flipped to the next picture on her computee.

(On my phone sorry if its short)

@ ZackyEffingVengeance

"Yeah, a little," Madeline admitted. She'd had way too much to drink last night. She watched Zacky as he got up to get himself a beer, biting her lip. She wondered if he would say anything last night, but she knew he couldn't and wouldn't with Matt anywhere around. But Madeline thought that he might at least acknowledge that something had happened. Sure, they hadn't had sex, but it still stung a little that Zacky was acting like nothing had happened at all. Madeline shook her head slightly. She was being silly, acting like a fifteen year girl with a crush. She just needed to be patient and stop over thinking things so much.

---

Matt nodded when Roxie answered him. "It's about three and a half hours," Matt answered, talking about the drive to Ontario. "It's pretty much a straight stretch on the interstate, so it's pretty boring. But once we cross the border it starts to get a little prettier. There's lots of scenery for you to take pictures of, if you're into that." He took another sip of his beer, alternating between watching the TV and watching Roxie edit her photos. "So have you been taking pictures for a long time?"

Zacky looked at her, "Well i'm sure you will feel better in a bit. Are you excited to be traveling Europe again?" HE asked. He knew that Madeline had always liked Europe. He looked over at Matt who was talking to Roxie. Maybe if Matt was distracted by Roxie then he could be alone with Madeline. Zacky took her phone and typed something before he handing it to her to read. He smiled when she read it. If we hook Matt up with Roxie he will be too busy to watch us. ;) He smiled as she looked at him. He wanted her to know that he did want to be with her. He didn't want to mess with his friendship with Matt though.

---

Roxie looked at him, "Well i will definitely take pictures of every thing we see. That's why i brought this camera." She said, holding up the one she carried everywhere. My expensive stuff is put away. Ya know that stuff that makes you look pretty for the world." She teased him. Roxie thought for a moment when he asked how long she had been doing this. "I got my first camera when i was like seven. That was when i went on a tour with my dad. Then, i decided to go to school for it. I shadowed with a photographer for the Rolling Stone and now i'm here taking pictures of you guys." She said, laughing softly.

@ ZackyEffingVengeance

Madeline nodded when Zacky asked her about Europe. She'd always liked traveling there; it was so pretty and it was a nice change from the United States. She raised an eyebrow when Zacky took her phone, confused when he started to type something before handing it back to her. Madeline read over the words, feeling her face heat up. So Zacky did want to be with her. The only thing that was really in their way was Matt. But Zacky was right, if they could distract him, he wouldn't watch the two of them so closely. Well how do we do that, then? Madeline typed before handing her phone back to Zacky.

---

Matt laughed at Roxie's comment. "Yeah, I wouldn't expect you to carry your expensive equipment around," he said. "But the Rolling Stone? That's pretty fucking awesome. But uh, you went on tour with your dad? So he's a musician, then?" Roxie seemed to have a pretty good background in photography, and if she'd gone touring with her dad, she knew how to handle rockstars on tour. And she obviously knew how to have a good time and handle her liquor, so she'd fit in well on that aspect as well. All he needed to do was get a look at some of her concert pictures.

Zacky stared at the phone then glanced over at Matt and Roxie. Well, it shouldn't be too hard. I mean your brother already seems interested. We just gotta push them together. Zacky handed her phone back then took a swig of his beer as he glanced around the bus. It always amazed him how they all stayed in their own little worlds here. Even when they were so close.

---

Roxie smiled, "Well this one is three grand, but that's not that bad." She said shrugging. She looked at him when he asked about his dad, "He was. He died of an overdose when i was like thirteen." She said. She looked at her computer then looked back at him, seeing that look that everyone gave her. The i'm so sorry your dad is dead look. "Don't look at me like that." She said softly. "I do have a pretty awesome collection of his guitars though." She said as she found the pictures of the room that was filled with guitars in her apartment. "I have no use for them, but they are there." She said, laughing softly.

@ ZackyEffingVengeance

Madeline grinned as she read over Zacky's next message. She was excited now. She knew Zacky was right, that if they hooked Matt up with Roxie, he wouldn't pay attention to them at all and they could be together, even if they had to sneak around. It would be worth it, to Madeline at least. Well we should do that soon. I liked kissing you. Madeline reached over and dropped her phone into Zacky's lap. It almost felt like they were in elementary school, passing notes, and it was kind of fun.

---

Matt nodded as he listened to Roxie speak, not able to really help the look that passed over his face when she mentioned that her dad had died. But he felt bad for it when she spoke, he was sure she was tired of being looked at that way. He watched as she pulled up a picture of the guitars she'd inherited from her dad. "Hey, those are pretty nice guitars," he said. "What kinds do you have? Some of them look pretty old."

Zacky smiled as he looked over her phone, I liked kissing you too He handed it back to her and took a swig of his beer. He looked out the window, wishing they were already in europe. He liked it so much there and he knew the guys always had more fun there as well. Zacky finished his beer then got up to get another

---

Roxie nodded, "Yea they are pretty old." She said as she talked to him about what kind she had. It felt like hours went by as they talked. She looked up as the driver asked if they wanted to grab something to eat. Of course all the guys were hungry. Roxie shut her laptop then walked off the bus with Matt.

@ ZackyEffingVengeance

Madeline probably had the biggest, stupidest grin on her face as she read over what Zacky had typed. He liked kissing her, too. Somewhere in 1999, her fourteen year old self was dying of happiness. She watched Zacky as he stood to get another beer, waiting until he'd sat back down next to her before she yawned, leaning her head over on his shoulder. Surely Matt wouldn't object to Madeline simply using Zacky as a pillow. She feigned sleepiness until the boys decided that they wanted to stop for food, stretching her arms over her head before she followed Zacky off of the bus.

---

Matt chatted with Roxie about her dad's guitars until the bus driver stepped into the main area of the bus, asking if they wanted to stop and get food. Since it was probably the last chance they'd to eat before the show in Ontario, all of them jumped at the chance. There were only a few fast food restaurants to choose from, but as soon as Matt spotted an Arby's, he headed in that direction. Johnny decided to tag along too, and when Matt turned around, he saw that Roxie was following them as well.

Zacky looked seeing that Matt was headed to Arby's, "Fuck yes! Arby's!" He said as he ran towards the guys. He jumped on Brian and laughed as Brian carried him. "Roxie take our picture." Brian said, laughing. It was nice to be off the bus for awhile and they always acted like dumbass when they got cooped up in there. Zacky smiled big as Roxie took their picture. He dropped down from Brian's shoulders then walked with them.

---

Roxie watched as Zacky ran by her, then shook her head as they asked her to take a picture. She stopped and grabbed the camera from around her neck and took a picture of them. She smiled as the guys walked and she waited for Madeline. "Hungry?" She asked her as she walked with her.

@ ZackyEffingVengeance

Madeline laughed when Zacky ran past her to jump onto Brian's shoulders. They always got a little crazy when they were first let off the bus after hours of traveling. And Zacky was pretty adorable when he was acting like this. Then again, there was hardly a time when Madeline didn't think that Zacky looked adorable. Madeline caught up with the group, nodding when Roxie asked her if she was hungry. "Yeah, I'm starving," Madeline laughed, keeping her eyes on Zacky as they walked into the restaurant. "And this is probably going to be the last chance we get to eat before the show later. Which reminds me, have you ever been to an Avenged Sevenfold show?"

---

"Guess everybody's going to Arby's," Matt laughed as Zacky ran past him. He turned back to talk to Roxie as they walked, but saw that she was talking to Madeline. He was glad his sister had someone to hang out with besides the guys, especially now that he was starting to get a little suspicious of Zacky's intentions with Madeline. He didn't exactly believe the guitarist when he said that he'd gone back to his room last night, but he was too distracted by Roxie to really care enough to bring it up again.

Zacky smiled as he walked through the door and went to the couch. "I want a number 1 and make it large." He said, hearing Jimmy and Brian snickering behind him because they took what he said in a perverted way. "Shut up assholes." He said, looking back at them. He paid for his food then stepped to the side and waited for everyone else to order. He was glad he was getting something to eat.

---

Roxie nodded when she asked about the concert, "I have been to like three of them." She said with a shrug. Roxie smiled, "The guys put on a really good show." She said as she walked into Arby's with them. She stood in line, then ordered her food and sat down with them at the table they got. Roxie sat between Matt and Brian because she knew that Madeline would want to sit next to Zacky. Roxie took a sip of her drink, which made her realize how thirsty she really was. She began to eat her food, listening to the banter around her.

@ ZackyEffingVengeance

"You should've seen them back when they first started," Madeline said, stepping up behind Brian in line. "They were fucking fantastic." Once Brian had moved out of the way, Madeline stepped up to order, taking her food over to their table and smiling when she noticed that Roxie had left her a seat next to Zacky. "You know, you make a pretty good pillow," she teased, keeping her voice soft so no one else would hear.

---

After Matt had ordered his food, he took his food to the table and sat down on the other side of Roxie. He wasted no time in digging into his sandwich, stuffing a few curly fries into his mouth as well. All of the boys ate like their food like it was going to run away from them, so things were pretty quiet for awhile. "Man, I think I'm going to go fall into a coma when we get back to the bus," Matt said, leaning back in the booth and rubbing his stomach.

Zacky smiled at her, "Why thank you." He said softly. He finished his food leaning back, looking at Matt. "You say that but you are more likely to go on the bus and drink." He said laughing. He knew Matt well and he knew he wasnt gonna give up a chance to party.

---

Roxie laughed softly at what Matt said. She finished her last fry and side as she leaned back against her seat. Roxie stood up, throwing her stuff away before she stepped outside. She sat down around the back of the building and pulled a joint out of her purse and lit it. Roxie sighed as she exhaled the smoke.

@ ZackyEffingVengeance

"Maybe you could come back to the back with me and be my pillow again while we watch a movie?" Madeline whispered to Zacky. "Matt probably will actually sleep and even if he doesn't we could bring Roxie back too so it doesn't look suspicious? I don't know." As she suggested it, Madeline knew there was no chance they could do that without Matt finding out. Unless Roxie was just a really good distraction but even Madeline didn't think she could be that good. "Never mind, it won't work," Madeline mumbled.

---

Matt watched Roxie as she walked away, raising an eyebrow when he saw her head off towards the back of the building instead of towards the bus. He finished off his food and tossed the wrappers in the trash before he followed her, snorting when he found her behind the building smoking a joint. "As much as I enjoy the left-handed cigarettes myself, it's probably not a good idea to be smelling like weed when we cross the border," Matt said, stepping up to her. "But then again, there's a reason perfume and cologne were invented, give me a puff."

Zacky looked at her, feeling bad that he couldn't do what she wanted him to do. He watched as the guys left and he touched her leg. "We will figure something out." He said. He got up and threw his trash away before he went to the bus. Zacky sighed when he realized Matt and Roxie weren't there. He looked over, hearing the two laughing like idiots as they made their way to the bus. He raised and eyebrow as they got on the bus smelling like weed. "Really guys?" He said, shaking his head. "Could have shared." He muttered.

---

Roxie looked at him, "Didn't know you were so lame." She teased him. She handed him the joint when he asked for a puff of it. Roxie finished the joint with him then walked towards the bus with him. She walked onto the bus, holding in her laugh when Zacky questioned them. Roxie bit her bottom lip lightly was she waited for Matt to sit down. She sat down next to him and sighed as she ran her fingers through her hair. "Way to get us in trouble." She muttered to him.

@ ZackyEffingVengeance

Madeline just sort of grumbled when Zacky touched her leg and spoke to her. She wished Matt wasn't so fucking protective of her so she could try to have a relationship with Zacky and not have to hide when all she wanted to do was cuddle. Back at the bus, Madeline decided to take advantage of Matt's momentary absence and cuddled into Zacky's side, only moving away when her brother and Roxie appeared on the bus, smelling like weed. "Seriously bro, you really should've shared," she laughed. "We'll have to dip into somebody's stash once we cross the border."

---

"I'm not lame," Matt said, taking the joint from her. He took a drag, holding his breath to let the smoke permeate his lungs before he spoke again. "I'm the coolest motherfucker you'll ever meet." He took another short drag before he handed the joint back to Roxie. They finished it off and headed back to the bus, and Matt laughed as Zacky and Madeline playfully tore into them. "We'll all have some of Johnny's once we're in Canada," Matt said, ignoring the cry of disagreement that came from the bassist.

Zacky smiled at Johnny's reaction, "Well guys i think i'm gonna get some sleep." He said as he walked back to his bunk. He got ready for bed and laid down, thinking about how he could get alone with Madeline.

When they arrived at the hotel he walked to his room he was sharing with Matt and set his stuff on his bed. "So you ready for the show tonight?" He asked as he unpacked some of his stuff. He knew they would have to go to the venue soon and he was glad that he had rested up for it. Zacky walked out of his room and waited for the rest of the guys. He smiled when he seen Madeline, "You ready for tonight?" He asked her.

---

Roxie walked out of her room that she shared with Madeline and held her camera in her hand. She smiled at them, snapping a picture of the two. Roxie walked pass the and waited for the guys.

Roxie walked around the venue trying to figure out what the best angles would be for pictures. She smiled as she seen Matt walk onto the stage to look around. Roxie looked at him, "Can you stand like two steps to your left please?" She asked him. Roxie snapped a picture of him and looked at it, "Perfect. That is your hot spot." She teased him as she walked onto the stage with him.
