Pretty Little Psycho.

Sarah laughed softly, "You poor child." She said as she got out. She walked with Madeline into the salon. Sarah sat down, placing her feet in the warm water. "So when do you leave us again?" She asked.

---

Roxie laughed softly, "Yea she always  throws some pretty nice parties." She said. She looked over as Emily came over to them. She hadnt seen her since the day they left for the tour. Emily smiled, "Hey guys." She said hugging them. She looked at Matt, "I see that Tiffany is already after you." She teased Matt. She opened her beer, "She's a hoe. Our friend, but a hoe." She said laughing. Roxie rolled her eyes at Emily, smiling. She looked at Matt, then took a sip of her drink. She was still happy he came with her.

"In a week," Madeline answered as she sat down in a chair. She smiled at the nail tech as she handed her the nail color she'd chosen for her toes. For her fingernails she was going to get a french tip, so she didn't need a color. "But at least this leg of the tour is only three months! And then I'll be home for a long time."

---

"Well Jimmy's a hoe too, so I can't really judge," Matt said laughing. "And honestly, it's nothing I'm not used to. Rockstar, remember?" He took a big gulp of his drink. He wondered if Roxie's friends suspected that they were more than friends, although Matt honestly wasn't quite sure what they actually were at the moment.

Sarah looked at her, "So then we get you for a long period of time " she said, smiling. She sighed as she leaned back against the chair. "I think it would be fun to go on tour though." She said, looking at her friend. "Though im sure that much closeness to your brother is probably enough to drive you nuts." She said laughing.

----

Roxie laughed softly, then took a sip of her drink. She looked at him as Emily drank with them. Emily looked at them, "So do you guys wanna go to a rock concert later? Theres a bar downtown that is suppose to have a good band." She said. Emily looked at Matt, "How long has it been since you were on the other side of the stage?" She asked, trying to convince them to go.

@ paradigm;

"Oh my God, you know Matt absolutely drives me insane," Madeline said, rolling her eyes. "I know he's my older brother, but he doesn't have to be so protective of me all the time. That's what I like about being home. He can't always have his nose in my damn business."

---

"It's been awhile," Matt said. "Since we put out City of Evil we've gotten really popular and we've been touring. But I do like to go to concerts when I'm home, you know, scope out the new people on the scene." Matt grinned as he took another sip of his drink. "But yeah, I'm totally down to go."

Sarah laughed softly, "That's true. At least you have some time to relax." She said  She bit her bottom lip lightly, "So did Matt try to kill Zacky when he found out?" She asked. She was glad she was getting to spend time with her friend.

---

Emily smiled, "Perfect, so concert it is." She said. Roxie smiled, "Alright well finish the alcohol and we will go." She said. Roxie waited for them to finish their drinks, then walked to her car with them. She got in with them, listening Emily as she told her where it was. She drove to the venue and got out with them. Emily went to the bar once they were inside, grabbing beer for Matt and herself. Roxie stood with Matt, looking at him as Emily handed him his beer. She was glad she was getting to spend time with him. Roxie watched as the show started. She watched as the lead singer looked at them, his eyes widening when he saw Matt. Roxie laughed, "I think he noticed you." She teased Matt.

@ paradigm;

"Uh yeah, he definitely did," Madeline answered, laughing. "He found out at a pretty bad time though, so he was already mad and then him finding out didn't help. And we didn't get the chance to tell him, Brian's big mouthed self did."

---

Matt had anticipated staying at the party a little longer, but he was fine with going to the concert instead. He thanked Roxie when she handed him a beer, laughing when she said the lead singer had noticed him. "Yeah, I think he did," Matt agreed.

Sarah rolled her eyes, "Brian is a dick sometimes. I'm sorry it didn't go exactly as planned for you. Are you an Matt talking still though?" She asked her friend. She couldn't see the two of them having a serious fight at all.

---

Roxie watched the concert as the two next to her drank a ton of beer. She didn't mind being the driver because she liked seeing Matt have fun. When the concert ended she walked out with them, taking his hand. She smiled as she felt him lace his fingers with her. Emily looked at Roxie, "Mind taking me home?" She asked her. Roxie shook her head, "Not at all. I will take you home." She said. She got in the car with them and drove to Emily's house, letting her out. Roxie looked at Matt, "Did you want to stay at my place or did you want to go home and pick your car up tomorrow?" She asked. She knew it was easier if he just stayed at her place, but she didn't mind taking him home if that was what he wanted.

@ paradigm;

"Well Matt didn't talk to anyone for a solid twenty-four hours after everything went down," Madeline answered. "But he's all good now. Actually, last night we all hung out at Jimmy's and drank and smoked a couple of joints. Matt got super cross-faded and loved everyone."

---

"Actually, how about you come stay at my house?" Matt suggested. He wanted to sleep in his own bed tonight but he wanted to spend a little more time with Roxie. "You can just take me back to your place to get my car whenever you go home tomorrow."

Sarah laughed, "Why is your brother always nicer that way." She said, smiling. "I'm glad you two are getting along again though." She said. Sarah looked at Madeline, "So, no chance of me convincing you to stay?" She asked, knowing Madeline would want to be with Zacky.

---

Roxie nodded, "Okay that works." She said. She drove to Matt's house then walked into the house with him. Roxie set her keys on the table by his door, before looking at him. "Tonight was fun." She said, smiling. She was glad that they got to spend some time together. Though she was more happy now that they were alone.

@ paradigm;

"Everybody's nicer that way," Madeline said, laughing. "What do you mean, no chance of convincing me to stay?" she asked. "This girls' day is just getting started. We haven't even gone shopping yet." Once they were finished with their mani-pedis, Madeline walked with Sarah into one of the nearby stores in the mall.

---

Back at his house, Matt kicked off his shoes and hung his keys on the hook near the door. He hadn't a lot to drink, but he'd had just enough to make him feel a little sleepy. "Yeah, tonight was fun," he agreed. "I'm going to go upstairs and change really quick, but you can find something on TV if you want."

Sarah laughed, "I meant getting you to stay home and not go on tour with the guys." She said, smiling. "I know you like it." She explained. Sarah couldn't wait to go shopping. "I need new shoes though." She said, looking at her friend.

---

Roxie nodded, "Sure." She said. She took her shoes off then walked into his living room, finding something decent to watch on tv. Though she had settled on Halloween because she loved those movies. She sat on the couch texting her friend as she waited on Matt. She couldn't help but get excited about spending more time with him.

@ paradigm;

"Oh yeah, that's never going to happen," Madeline said, laughing. She might get tired of the guys sometimes, but she loved being on the road with them. "You always need new shoes," she teased Sarah as they headed to a nearby shoe store. She never thought that she needed new shoes, but somehow she always ended up with at least one pair whenever she went shopping with Sarah.

---

In his room, Matt quickly changed into one of his Pantera t-shirts and a pair of basketball shorts. Heading back downstairs, he grinned when he saw the movie that Roxie had chosen. "Very good choice," he said, sitting down next to her on the couch. "So how come we dipped out of the party so early?" he asked her. "I was kind of looking forward to getting drunk on the beach."

Sarah smiled as they walked into the shoe store. She began to look at some shoes. "So new heels?" She asked, showing a cute pair to Madeline. She smiled, "They have them in your color." She said, looking back at Madeline. She liked to get her friend to buy shoes with her.

Zacky looked at his phone, texting Madeline. How's the girls day going? He hated to admit that he was missing Madeline so much. Though he knew he shouldnt feel the need to hide his feelings for her anymore.

---

Roxie looked at him, "Well, Emily wanted to bail and I haven't seen her in awhile. Plus she is way better company than Tiffany. That and she didn't stare at you like a piece of meat." She said, frowning when she realized the jealousy in her voice. She didn't like the idea of her friend looking at Matt that way. "We should totally get drunk on the beach before we leave though." She said, smiling at him. She wanted to change the subject and hide her pettiness that she hated. She didn't realize that Matt had such a hold on her.

@ paradigm;

Madeline rolled her eyes at Sarah. "I do not need any more fucking heels," she said. "I never even wear them! They're uncomfortable." She took the shoe from her friend, making a face as she looked it over. "But they are cute. No, no, I can't. Take them back," she said, shoving them back at Sarah. Reaching into her pocket for her phone, she typed out a response to Zacky. Pretty good so far. We got mani-pedis and now we're shoe shopping.

---

"Well next time let's just skip the party and go straight to the beach, yeah?" Matt suggested, grinning. "But totally, getting drunk on the beach sounds like an excellent idea." He sensed that she was trying to change the subject, so he let her. Roxie almost seemed to be a little jealous that her friend Tiffany was interested in him and Matt was pretty damn sure he knew why.

Sarah smiled, "But they want you." She said, holding the shoe out to her. "Take us home Madeline  We promise to be good." She joked with her friend as she tried to convince her to take the shoe. Sarah held the shoe out to her, "They would look good with some hot lingerie and you could wear it for Zacky." She suggested.

----

Roxie nodded at what he said, "Sounds like a plan." She said. She was glad he let her change the subject. She didn't know why it bothered her so much that Tiffany looked at Matt like that. She wasn't normally the kind of person to get jealous. She watched him for a moment before she leaned over and kissed him. She really just wanted her body against his. She scooted closer to him as she kissed him deeply.

@ paradigm;

"I'm not spending that kind of money on shoes I'll wear once for five minutes," Madeline said, pushing the shoe away. She didn't need them, she didn't. "And wearing heels with lingerie might look hot, but it's so impractical. Because then you've got to take the shoes off before you have sex and it's just a big pain."

---

"I'll mark it in my planner," Matt joked. He turned his attention to the TV, but he was aware of Roxie looking at him and then suddenly she was kissing him. He honestly should have been expecting this given the type of relationship they'd had during the first part of the tour, but it still took him a little by surprise. He kissed her back, wrapping his arm around her waist.

Sarah laughed softly, "So no shoe?" She teased her friend as she put it back. She watched her friend, "I meant to ask. What's it like having sex with Zacky?" She asked as she continued through the store with her. Sarah grabbed a pair of heels, looking them over as she listened to her friend.

---

Roxie felt his arm around her waist as she kissed him. Her arms wrapped around his neck loosely as they kissed. She kissed down his neck, letting her fingers move over his check.

@ paradigm;

"No shoe," Madeline said, laughing. She walked with Sarah through the store, watching as she occasionally picked up a pair of shoes. "What's it like having sex with Zacky?" she repeated. She smirked slightly. "It's great, that's what it is."

---

Matt sucked in a breath when Roxie started to kiss down his neck. He had half a mind to stop her, but then again he didn't really see a problem with letting it continue. He'd probably held that grudge long enough and he'd let it go enough to hang out with her for an entire day.

Sarah smiled, "Well I figured that." She said, shaking her head. "I'm glad you guys are together finally." She said, walking up to the register. She set her shoes that she wanted down. She watched as she was checked out then paid. She stood there, waiting for Madeline.

---

Roxie kissed him, before she moved and straddled his lap. She was pretty glad that their day went pretty well. She kissed him, her hands slipping under his shirt as she felt him kissing her back. Roxie pulled away from him, watching him for a moment.

@ paradigm;

"Trust me, I am, too," Madeline said. She hadn't gotten anything at the shoe store, so once Sarah had checked out, they left the store. "Is there anywhere else you wanted to go?"

---

When Roxie pulled away, Matt relaxed against the couch. He felt like he should say something, but he didn't know what to say.
