Pretty Little Psycho.

Sarah shook her head, "Nope, I'm good." She said. She looked at her friend, "Is there anywhere you want to go?" She asked. She walked with her, passing a few other stores.

---

Roxie ran her fingers over his cheek, "What's wrong?" She asked him softly. He looked like he was thinking about something. "Is everything okay?" She asked him.

@ paradigm;

"No, I think I'm good," Madeline said. There wasn't really anything else she wanted to look at. "How about we just grab a bite to eat and then head home?"

---

"Nothing's wrong," Matt said, shaking his head. "Everything's fine, I promise." He leaned in to give her another soft kiss before leaning back against the couch.

"No, I think I'm good," Madeline said. There wasn't really anything else she wanted to look at. "How about we just grab a bite to eat and then head home?"

---

"Nothing's wrong," Matt said, shaking his head. "Everything's fine, I promise." He leaned in to give her another soft kiss before leaning back against the couch.

Sarah nodded and walked with her to a restaurant that they decided on. She sat down, looking over the menu. "What are you thinking about getting?" She asked, looking at her friend. Sarah bit her bottom lip lightly as she tried to decide on what she wanted. "I'm honestly considering the nachos." She said, laughing softly.

---

Roxie kissed him back, watching as he leaned back against the couch. "If you say so." She teased him. She kissed him again, her fingers lingering on his side. She had a feeling deep down that Matt was still kind of not trusting her because of Brian. She understood him feeling that way though.

@ paradigm;

"I'm thinking the enchilada platter," Madeline said, looking over the menu. "With rice and beans, of course." Since that was decided, Madeline closed the menu and sat it aside, reaching for a chip from the complimentary basket. "I haven't had Mexican food in so long," she said, dipping it into the salsa. "Ooh, we should get a cheese dip to share."

---

"Really, don't worry about it," Matt said, smiling softly. He felt a little awkward now. "I'm just being stupid." He gave her another kiss, reaching down to rest his hand on top of the one she had on his side. "So is there anything you want to do?" he asked her, rubbing his thumb over her knuckles.

Sarah ate a chip and nodded, "Yes. I would like that. Didn't the guys take you to ear mexican food?" She asked, taking a sip of her drink. She knew they were always rushing on tour.

---

Roxie smiled at him, "Let's finish the movie." She said as she sat beside of him and let him put his arm around her. She could tell he was feeling awkward so she let the subject go. She was content finishing the movie with him.

@ paradigm;

"We mostly eat fast food," Madeline answered. "Yeah, because we're in a hurry but also because when we actually sit down to a meal where we actually have time to eat without being rushed, it's early in the morning and usually IHOP." Madeline laughed as she took a sip of her drink.

"Okay," Matt said, shrugging his shoulders to show his agreement. When Roxie sat beside him, he wrapped his arm around her waist, absentmindedly rubbing his hands over her side. It wasn't too terribly late, but the alcohol he'd had last night combined with the shit lingering from the night before was making him tired.

Sarah laughed softly, "IHOP does not sound horrible actually. I could totally eat IHOP." She said. She looked over as the food came and began to eat. Sarah took a sip of her drink, then went back to eating. "So do you prefer going with the guys to Europe or the states?" She asked.

---

Once the movie was over Roxie yawned, "Are you ready for bed?" She asked, looking at him. She could tell just by looking at him that he was tired. She got up with him, walking up to his room with him. "Got a shirt I can wear to sleep in?" She asked as she sat on his bed and took her shoes off. She was pretty tired now that she was actually in his room.

@ paradigm;

"Hell yeah, I love IHOP," Madeline said. "They've got other things to eat besides breakfast food so it's hard to get tired of it." She thanked the waitress when she returned with their food, quickly stirring together her rice, chicken, shrimp, and cheese sauce. "I think I kind of prefer Europe," Madeline answered. "It just feels more...exotic, I guess. I don't know."

---

Somehow, Matt managed to doze off towards the end of the movie. He stirred awake when he heard Roxie yawn, nodding when she asked if he was ready for bed. He led the way up to his bedroom. "Yeah, hold on, let me get you one," he said. He went to his dresser and tossed her one of his t-shirts, going over to lay on the bed, getting comfortable.

Sarah nodded, "I haven't been to Europe since high school. I would like to go back." She said, before eating. Once they finished she paid her bill and walked out with Madeline. She got in then drove her back to her house. "I will talk to you later." She said, smiling as her friend got out of the car.

---

Roxie took the shirt from him then got changed and climbed into bed with him. She snuggled against him, closing her eyes. "Goodnight Matt." She whispered. She held onto him as she fell asleep.

@ paradigm;

Once they were finished eating and they'd each paid their bills, Madeline walked with Sarah to her car. "Yeah see you tomorrow," she said, climbing out of Sarah's car. Inside her apartment, she kicked off her shoes and hung her keys on the hook before pulling out her phone to text Zacky. Hey, I'm home. You should come over.

---

When Roxie cuddled up next to him, Matt slipped his arm around her waist. "Night," he said, closing his eyes. When he woke up the next morning, he stretched his arms over his head, debating whether or not he wanted to get out of bed just yet. He was pretty comfortable, so he was leaning towards a no.

Zacky smiled when he seen that Madeline texted him, Sure. I will be over in a bit. He sent He got dressed in a pair of jeans and a tshirt before he walked out of his house. He drove to Madeline's, walking to her door. He knocked, waiting for her to answer. "So how was your girl's day?" He asked as she opened the door. He hugged her, kissing her softly.

---

Roxie opened her eyes the next morning when she felt Matt moving. She snuggled closer to him, closing her eyes again. She was pretty comfortable and didn't feel the need to get up. She was going to get all the rest she could before they were back on the road and on their busy schedule.

@ requiem;

Okay, see you soon. Madeline added a kissy face emoji before sending the message, going upstairs to change clothes. She had a feeling that she and Zacky would remain here, so there was no need for her to keep her jeans on. When there was a knock at the door, she went over and answered it. "It was fun," she told Zacky. "We got our nails done, went shopping, things like that."

---

Once he was sure Roxie was awake, Matt grabbed the remote and turned on the TV to the first thing he could find that he liked. "So, what do you say to spending the whole day in bed?" he suggested to Roxie. "We can order pizza or something when you get hungry. I just don't feel like doing anything today except laying around and watching TV."

Zacky smiled, "I'm glad you had fun." He said as he ran his fingers through her hair. He knew she liked spending time with her friends like that. He walked with her, sitting on the couch. "What did you want to do? Just relax and watch tv?" He asked as he pulled her into his lap.

---

Roxie looked at Matt when he mentioned laying in bed all day. "Sounds like a plan to me." She said. She rested her head on his chest watching the tv. She was glad he wanted to just relax. She laid there with him as they watched the show he picked. She let her fingers move over his side lightly as she felt his arm go around her.

@ requiem;

"Yeah, that sounds like fun," Madeline said, smiling. She leaned forward and pressed a kiss to Zacky's lips, smiling. "Or we could make out a little," she suggested, putting a playful pout on her face. "I haven't seen you all day, I missed you."

---

Matt was glad that Roxie was okay with laying in bed all day. He just wanted to actually relax and he always did that better with someone next to him. He handed the remote to Roxie. "You can pick something if you want," he told her. "Anything's fine with me."

Zacky smiled, "That sounds like an even better idea." He said. He leaned in, kissing her. He let his fingers run through her hair as he deepened the kiss, pulling her body against his. Being with Madeline made him so happy and he didnt want anyone else.

---

Roxie took the remote from him and found something decent for them both to watch. She relaxed with him, watching the tv show. She liked the idea of doing nothing for a change. She liked that about Matt. She liked the fact that they could lay around all day and be content with each other in their comfortable silence.

@ requiem;

Madeline smiled when Zacky kissed her again. Sometimes being around him just made her feel giddy, like she did when she was a teenager and just had a crush on him. She relaxed against him as they kissed, resting her arms over his shoulders. "I'm glad you're here," she said.

---

Matt waited until Roxie had picked a TV show before he wrapped his arm around her waist. "Just let me know when you get hungry, okay?" he said to her. "We can order a pizza or something. Hell, we can do that for lunch and dinner. I don't plan on getting up unless I have to."

Zacky smiled, "I'm glad i am here to. I just love being with you " He explained as he ran his hands up her back. "You are so amazing." He said, kissing her softly. He didn't know why he had taken so long to try to be with her. She was the perfect person for him.

---

Roxie relaxed watching tv with him for awhile before they agreed to order pizza. She sighed as she reached for her phone, ordering their food from the app. The less human contact the better. She laid with him until they heard the doorbell, then she got up and walked downstairs with him. She walked into the kitchen, watching as Matt set the pizza in front of them. She opened the box, handing him a plate. "This pizza looks so good right now." She said as she grabbed a piece.

@ requiem;

"You're pretty amazing yourself," Madeline whispered, kissing Zacky again. She'd never felt this way before about someone, all happy and giddy. She kissed Zacky a bit harder, feeling her stomach do somersaults. She could feel the words on the tip of her tongue, but she didn't know if she should say them or not. The last thing she wanted to do was scare Zacky away when she finally had him. But she couldn't help it. She knew that if she didn't say it now, she wouldn't ever have the courage to say it later. "I love you," Madeline whispered.

---

By the time Roxie finally decided that she wanted to order a pizza, Matt was starving. He told Roxie what sort of pizza he wanted, asking her to order a thing of cheesesticks and a couple of two-liters as well. It might seem like a lot of food, but between the two of them, it wouldn't last for very long. "Let's go eat upstairs," Matt said, taking the plate from Roxie. "We're supposed to be staying in bed all day, remember?" He grabbed the boxes, asking Roxie to grab the sodas before he went with her back upstairs.

Zacky kissed her, then looked at her as she pulled away. When she said she loved him it took him a moment to realize and process what she had said. He smiled at her, "I love you too." He said, kissing her. He had never told anyone that he loved them and he was sure that Madeline was the person he wanted to use that phrase for. He really only wanted to say it to her.

[The evil person in me was like have Zacky say 'yea cool.' I'm terrible]

---

Roxie smiled, "I figured we were avoiding pizza sauce in the bed." She said, laughing softly. She grabbed the sodas and walked up the stairs with him. She got into the bed with him, eating their pizza as they watched the tv. It was exactly how she wanted life to be. Sitting in a rockstar's bed, eating pizza with no pants on. She was feeling pretty great in that moment. Though she was glad she was getting to spend time with Matt alone for awhile. She knew that it was tense before with what was happening during the tour.
