Pretty Little Psycho.

@ paradigm;

Back at her apartment, Madeline put her suitcase by the washer and dryer before she went into her bedroom, deciding that she would relax in her bed for a little while before she started messing with laundry. She found something to watch on TV before she got comfortable, reaching for her phone when it started to ring. "Uh, you can come over here," Madeline said to Zacky. "I am not leaving my apartment for at least three days."

---

Matt sat on his couch in silence for a little while before he was finally able to will himself to get up. He grudgingly started on a load of laundry, next going into the kitchen to get himself a beer. Popping the top off, Matt went back to his living room, sitting back down on the couch. He wondered how long it would be before one of the guys or even Roxie or Madeline tried to get everyone together again.

Zacky smiled, "Your place it is. Do you want to order take out?" He asked. He knew that Madeline like to relax when they got home. When he grabbed his keys, "I will see you in a bit." He said, chuckling. When he arrived at Madeline's he knocked on the door. He smirked as she opened the door, "Enjoying being home?" He asked as he walked in. As much as he wanted to be at his house he wanted to spend time with Madeline. Zacky looked down at his phone when it went off. He grinned, "Party at Jimmy's this weekend." He said, showing Madeline the group text.

---

Roxie sighed as she got up and walked to her bedroom. She laid down and looked at her phone. She turned on her tv in her room and started watching a movie. She pulled the blankets over herself then called to order some pizza for herself. She looked at her phone when it went off and seen a text from Jimmy. She smiled when she seen he was having a party.

[If you want to skip to the party i'm fine with that ]

@ paradigm;

"Take out sounds perfect," Madeline said. "You can order." Hanging up the phone, Madeline got comfortable in her bed again, waiting for Zacky to get there. It was about twenty minutes before she heard a knock at the door and even though she knew it was Zacky, Madeline was still reluctant to pull herself out of the bed. "I'm definitely loving it," she said to Zacky, leaning up to give him a kiss. She rolled her eyes teasingly when he mentioned a party at Jimmy's. "Honestly, you guys can't go three days without trying to drown your livers in alcohol, can you?"

---

About half an hour after Matt sat down, his phone vibrated. He glanced at it and saw a message from Jimmy and predictably, it was a group message telling everyone that there was a party at his house this weekend. It was usually the drummer who broke the silence after tour was over or during a break. He hated just sitting, whereas everyone else usually liked to just relax.

Zacky smiled to himself, "We can, but we choose not to." He said, chuckling. He grabbed his phone, "So where do you want to order from?" He asked. "Chinese?" He offered. He was pretty hungry surprisingly. "So are you going to go along with me to Jimmy's this weekend?" He asked as he tried to decide what he wanted from menu she had from her fridge.

---

Roxie opened the pizza box as she laid there watching reruns of Friends. She hadn't binged on a TV show in what seemed like forever. She kept thinking about Matt, but she didn't want to over crowd him. She knew that he was in a place where he wanted space. Roxie ate a piece of pizza as she watched the next show start.

@ paradigm;

"Okay but don't come crying to me when you need a new one because I'm not giving up part of mine," Madeline teased. When Zacky asked her where she wanted to order from, he just sort of shrugged her shoulders, not really caring where they got food from. "Yeah, I'm going to go," Madeline told him, smirking. "You think I'm going to let you idiots cause mayhem without me there?"

---

Matt enjoyed relaxing at home, but by the time Jimmy's party rolled around, he was more than ready for a little interaction. He was the first one to get there besides Jimmy and when he walked into the drummer's house, he noticed there was enough alcohol to give them all alcohol poisoning three times over. "Damn Jimmy, are you trying to start your own bootleg liquor store?" Matt joked.

@ paradigm;
Zacky walked into Jimmy’s house with Madeline and Johnny. “Hey assholes.” He said, seeing all the alcohol, “Damn Jimmy are you trying to kill us.” He said, laughing as he looked at the bottles. Zacky looked at Madeline, “Where is Roxie?” He asked her. He knew that the girls had been texting earlier in the day. Johnny looked at the alcohol then mixed himself a drink as Brian walked in with a girl surprisingly. Zacky assumed it was for the best that Brian had some girl now.

---

Roxie finally got to Jimmy’s house and walked in, laughing as Jimmy picked her up, “Fuck I missed you.” He teased her. Roxie laughed, “You are so dumb. It's been like three days.” She said as he put her down. She looked at Madeline, “Hey.” She said as she hugged her. She looked at Matt was he came into the room with Zacky. “Hey guys.” She said as she hugged Matt. She did miss him even if they were slightly fighting when they left each other. She looked at the liquor, “Jimmy are you opening a bar?” She asked, smiling. Jimmy smirked, “That depends do you and Madeline want to be the strippers for the bar?” He joked.

"Yep, Jimmy is definitely trying to kill us," Madeline laughed, surverying the amount of alcohol. "So I'm assuming were all going to be spending the night here, yeah? I don't think any of us are going to be able to drive after this." She hugged Roxie back when the other girl hugged her, looking over at Jimmy and rolling her eyes at his comment. "In your fucking dreams, stringbean," she teased.

---

"Yes, I'm definitely trying to kill everyone, muah hahahahah," Jimmy said, adding on the evil laugh for extra affect.

Matt rolled his eyes. "You're fucking weird," he said. He grabbed a beer from the counter, popping the top off just as Roxie came over to hug him. He slipped his arm around her wait, giving her side a squeeze. "Fuck no, they aren't being strippers for anybody," Matt said. "

"Except for you and Zack, right?" Johnny asked, holding up his hands when Matt glared at him.

Zacky looked at Johnny when he spoke, noticing the glare that Matt gave the guy. He wasn't going to joke about Madeline any time soon because Matt was still adjusting. He grabbed a beer, "So beer pong?" He suggested, looking around at everyone.

Brian nodded, "We can draw cards for teams." He said as he founds from pairs in the deck of cards and laid them out on the table, mixing them up. "Whoever as matching cards is partners. We don't need Zacky and Matt on the same team because they cheat." He said, looking at the two, smirking as everyone laughed.

Zacky rolled his eyes, "Yea yea fuck you losers." He said as he drew a card. He smirked as he looked down at his card. He watched as everyone else drew. He grinned when he got Madeline, "Please be decent." He teased her.

---

Roxie was glad when Matt put his arm around her. It was nice to feel like he actually wanted her around. She opened a beer and looked at the cards in front of her, drawing one. She looked at her card, hiding it from Matt until he drew his. She was smiled when she seen they were partners.

Jimmy sighed, "You fuckers are cheating." He said. He pulled a card, "Alright I got Johnny." He said, "Brian you and your woman are on a team." He said. "But first we take shots." He said.

Roxie sighed as a shot glass full of whiskey was handed to her. She threw it back with the rest of them then walked over to the table Jimmy set up for beer pong. She was pretty decent at the game so she was sure they would have no problem beating Jimmy and Johnny.

@ paradigm;

@ paradigm;

Madeline nodded when Zacky suggested beer pong. She wasn't very good at the game, but she would play. Hopefully, whoever she ended up on a team with wouldn't hate her if she was awful. Luckily Zacky was her partner. She was almost positive that she could miss every single ball and he wouldn't hate her. "I'll try my hardest, but I'm not making any promises," Madeline told him.

---

"Fuck you, we don't cheat," Matt said. "You're just jealous because we always kick your ass." He drew his card, waiting until everyone else had done the same and seeing that he and Roxie were partners. He took the shot that Jimmy handed him, walking over to the beer pong table. He and Roxie were going to go against Jimmy and Johnny first and then Zacky and Madeline would play Brian and the girl he'd brought along.

@ paradigm;
Roxie took a sip of her drink as she listened to Johnny and Jimmy talking shit. Roxie took the ball and threw it, watching as it landed in the cup.

Jimmy stared at her, "What the fuck!" He yelled, laughing.

Roxie smiled and waited for Matt to go. She liked that everyone was getting along for once. Maybe they just all needed a break away from each other.

---

Zacky stood with Madeline as he watched them play. He looked at Madeline, knowing she wasnt the best a beer pong. He didnt care about that though. He was just glad that he had her near him. He took a sip of his beer then put his arm around her waist.

"I think Roxie is going to play you guys," Madeline said, laughing at Jimmy's reaction to Roxie landing the ball into the cup. She felt Zacky slip his arm around her waist, leaning against him as she took a sip of her drink. It was so nice to hang around with everyone and have them all get along. "I think Jimmy and Johnny are going to get their asses kicked, what about you?" Madeline whispered to Zacky.

---

Matt grinned when Roxie made the first ball in the cup. She was already better than he thought she would be, since most girls he played with were awful. He tossed his ball, smirking when it also landed in a cup. "Alright fuckers, balls back," he said. Jimmy and Johnny both rolled their eyes as they rolled the balls back across the table. Matt caught both, handing one to Roxie. "Go again," he told her.

Zacky nodded, "Oh yea she is." He said, laughing. He too a sip of his beer then sat down and pulled Madeline into his lap. It was weird to be near Matt and be holding Madeline. Mostly because they had hid their relationship for so long. It was relieving though to know that they weren't a secret anymore. He could just have her be his. He watched the game, chuckling as Roxie made another cup.

---

Roxie took the ball from Matt and threw it, laughing as she made it again. Jimmy glared at her, "Seriously. This is bullshit. Matt you fucking cheat. What do you do have some creepy place you train you partners at?" He asked, shaking his head as he moved the cup out of the way. Roxie looked at Matt, watching as he took his turn. Roxie took a sip of her drink and sighed as Jimmy and Johnny took their turns. Though they missed. "You guys suck." She teased them.

@ paradigm;

Madeline laughed as Matt made his cup and then Roxie made a second. Jimmy and Johnny had obviously been expecting to win and they weren't happy that the other pair were doing so well. "I hope you don't expect me to be that good," Madeline said to Zacky.

---

"How the hell would I have trained Roxie?" Matt asked. "I haven't left my house in like three days and I'm sure she hasn't either. I think you're just being sore losers." Matt tossed his second ball, cursing himself when he missed.

"Looks like you two might be the ones losing," Jimmy said, cackling.

@ paradigm;
Roxie watched as Jimmy threw the ball and missed completely, "Jimmy the cups are over here." She said, laughing. She took the ball from Zacky as he handed it to her. She watched as Johnny managed to make one then took her turn and missed. She took a sip of her drink and waited for Matt to go.

---

Zacky chuckled, "You dont have to be good." He said as he put his arm around her, "I'm sure you will be great." He said. He grabbed the ball and handed it to Roxie. He watched as Matt made another cup. He sighed as Jimmy missed again, "Damn guys this game is going to take forever." He said laughing.

"As long as you don't mind losing because that's probably what's going to happen," Madeline said with a laugh. She didn't mind how long this game lasted because she was enjoying being so close to Zacky. She was honestly surprised that Matt hadn't said anything, since she was sure the three days they'd all been apart wasn't enough for him to get over their relationship.

---

"I think we're going to win, Roxie," Matt said when Jimmy completely missed. "And you were fucking with me, you asshole." Johnny took his shot and made it, so Matt moved the cup to the side as he took the ball back and made his shot. "Hell yeah, that's what I'm talking about," he said.

Zacky smiled, "It's okay." He said. He kissed her cheek, then looked back at the game in front of them. Zacky finished his beer then got another one. He opened it and took a swig of it. He really wanted to get drunk. though he was still worried about getting drunk with Matt. He didn't know how his friend was going to react to him still.

---

Roxie nodded, "Oh we are, because they suck." She said, smiling. She took her tun and made another one. Jimmy shook his head, "Great we are losing to a girl." He muttered. Roxie rolled her eyes, "What is that suppose to mean asshole?" She said, narrowing her eyes. She smiled when he thought she was serious.

@ paradigm;

"Hey, slow down there," Madeline teased, seeing Zacky open another beer. "If you drink too much, you can't come home with me." Surprisingly, Zacky had yet to try and stay the night at her apartment in the three days they'd been on their break from tour. "It means he's a sore loser," Madeline put in, talking to Roxie.

---

"Jimmy, stop trying to psyche Roxie out," Matt said. He took his shot, even going so far as to bounce it off of the table. Johnny reached out to try and catch it out of midair, but missed, and the ball landed in a cup. "Fuck you guys. Balls back."

Zacky smiled, "What you don't want a drunk Zacky?" He teased her as he put his arm around her. He kissed her cheek then took a swig of his beer. He watched the game and laughed as Matt bounced it off the wall and the guys groaned, throwing the balls back.

---

Roxie made her cup the next time and smiled, "Yes!" She cheered. She watched as Matt made his, causing them to win. She watched as Jimmy downed another drink. "You guys fucking suck." He said. Roxie smiled as she took a sip of her drink. She was glad they won.
