Pretty Little Psycho.

Zacky nodded, "Alright, I will text the guys later." He said. He was glad she wanted to spend time at his place. "We could watch some movies if you want." He said. He really didn't watch many movies when they were on tour. "I will even let you pick the first one." He said.

---

Roxie looked at him, "Alright." She said. She had played Xbox a lot before she started working all the time. Roxie grabbed his extra controller, "What do you want to play?" She asked as they sat there together. She liked being able to just hang out with Matt without it being awkward.

"Make sure you tell them we're having actual barbeque and not hamburgers and hot dogs," Madeline pointed out. She was in the mood for ribs and chicken and potato salad. "Alright, I guess I'll pick the first movie," she said. "But no complaining if you don't like it."

---

"We're playing zombies, of course," Matt answered. He turned the Xbox back on and went to the online lobby. "We're going to play online, so I hope you're not terrible," he said, putting on his gaming headphones. "I'll probably spend too much time reviving the shitty teenagers, so I'm relying on not having to do the same to you."

No fucking clue why this posted three times

Zacky nodded as he started to text everyone, "Alright I get it real food." He said, laughing. He sent the group message, "Just don't pick something too awful." He said. He walked into the living room with her and sat down on the couch. "What did you decide on?" He asked as he leaned back against the couch. Zacky watched her, smiling.

---

Roxie looked at him, "Well geez no pressure." She said, laughing softly. She waited for him to start the games, knowing exactly how to play. She smiled when she felt Matt staring at her in shock at the end of the round. "I may have played a few times before." She said, laughing softly. "Or like a lot." She said, smiling.

@ acid rain;

Madeline went into the living room to sort through Zacky's DVDs, choosing one after a few minutes. "Project X," she said, grinning as she put the movie into the DVD player. She settled back against the couch, tugging a blanket over her lap. She sat a little bit away from Zacky, picking at a stray thread on the blanket as the movie started. "So, when exactly is the barbeque?"

---

Matt knew as soon as the game started that everyone in the lobby but him and Roxie were teenage boys. But his attention was quickly drawn to Roxie, as she was the only one besides him who hadn't gone down once in several rounds. "Yeah, I'd say you have," he said, chuckling.

Zacky looked at her, "I figured tomorrow was a good idea." He said. He put his arm around her, pulling her body to his. He looked at her, "Are you sure you are feeling alright?" He asked. He was worried about her. She had been acting weird since the bar and he was hoping that he hadn't made her mad. Zacky turned his attention back to the tv, letting his fingers gently run over her arm.

---

Roxie laughed softly, "Probably better than you actually." She teased him. She looked over as her phone went off about the same time as Matt's. She read the message from Zacky then looked at Matt, "I guess Zacky is lonely already." She said, laughing softly. She set her phone down, watching as Matt started the next round. She knew she had to hang out with her friends earlier in the day tomorrow, but she was good for the afternoon.

@ acid rain;

"I told you I'm fine," Madeline huffed. She obviously wasn't playing things off as well as she thought she was. It was just so hard to be close to Zacky and be reminded of how good of a boyfriend he was when she was such an awful girlfriend. She didn't deserve him at all. "I'm just...I'm sorry about last night," Madeline finally said. "I shouldn't have snapped at you."

---

"I seriously doubt that," Matt said, laughing. "Nobody's better than me." He reached for his phone when it vibrated, seeing the message from Zacky. "I'm surprised he's lonely, he won't fucking get out of Madeline's ass," he grumbled. Even though he was mostly alright with Zacky dating his sister, he still felt a little protective of her.

Zacky smiled when she apologized, "Madeline, you don't have to apologize. We both said things we didn't mean." He said as he put his arm around her. He ran his fingers through her hair. "I'm sorry about what I said too okay?" He said, kissing her forehead. "Don't worry about it anymore." He said as he pulled her body to his. He didn't want to spend his time fighting in this relationship. He did that in his last on and it didn't go well.

The next day Zacky pulled the stuff out of the fridge, hearing the guys talking and goofing off. He liked having everyone at his house. It made him feel like they were close as a family. Zacky walked back to the patio, opening the grill, putting the food on. "Alright, now we wait." He said to them as he walked into the house and stood by the kitchen island. He looked at Madeline, happy to see she was a little more relaxed. He took a sip of his beer, looking at Jimmy and Johnny who were taking shots.

Jimmy looked at Matt, "Where is our other half?" He teased his friend, laughing. He watched as Matt rolled his eyes, "And yet you know where she is." He said, laughing with Johnny.

---

Roxie got out of Emily's car with her friend Tiffany once they got to Zacky's house. She was pretty drunk after her time with her friends. "Holy shit I didn't think I drank that much." She said, laughing as they walked with Emily. Emily walked in, "i apologize ahead of time." She said, laughing. Roxie smiled, "Hey guys!" She exclaimed, clearly drunk. She hugged Madeline, then looked at Matt. "Hey." She said, hugging him. She rested her head against his chest when she felt him hug her back, "I drank way to much." She muttered, giggling.

Johnny looked at Emily, "Em, what did you do?" He asked, chuckling. Emily shrugged, "Well we went to breakfast and they had bottomless mimosas, then they decided it was a great idea to take Tiff's dad's boat out on the water and Margaritas were drank." she said, watching as Tiffany hit on Jimmy.

Roxie smiled as she stepped back from Matt, "Lots of Margaritas." she said, laughing. She looked at Madeline, "You missed out." She said, running her fingers through her hair. She leaned against Matt as they stood there. "Zacky you promised food." she said, smiling.

Zacky nodded, "i did and it is cooking." He said. Emily looked at Matt, seeing drunk Roxie on him. She had always kind of liked Matt, but she never said anything because she worked with him.

Jimmy smirked as he looked at Tiffany, hitting on her. He looked over her at Roxie, mouthing thank you.

Roxie grinned, "You're welcome Jimmy." She said, laughing.

@ acid rain;

By five o'clock the next day, all of the guys had arrived at Zacky's house. Madeline was glad to see her friends and brother again, but she made it a point to avoid Brian as much as possible. She couldn't stomach being around him knowing what they'd done to Zacky. Sitting at the kitchen island while Zacky put the food on the grill, Madeline slowly sipped on a glass of wine. The guys were taking shots but after the other night, she didn't want to get too drunk.

She glanced up when she heard someone else enter the house, seeing Roxie with Emily and some girl she didn't recognize. Roxie was obviously pretty drunk. Madeline wondered if maybe she should tell Roxie what had happened. Surely the other girl would keep her secret? After all, she'd kept her and Zacky dating a secret for a long time. But she wouldn't tell Roxie until the other girl was sober. "Pour me some more wine?" Madeline asked, holding her glass out to Zacky.

---

Standing in Zacky's kitchen, Matt took a sip of his beer. Jimmy and Johnny were taking shots, but he would save that for after dinner, maybe while they were goofing around in the pool. Matt rolled his eyes when Jimmy asked him where Roxie was. The drummer seemed oddly insistent that Matt and Roxie were a couple. "Actually, I don't know where she is," Matt told him. "I just know she's not here." But as soon as he said that, he heard Zacky's front door open, followed by loud, feminine voices.

Matt laughed when Roxie hugged him, noticing how drunk she was before she even said anything. "Pre-gaming, I see," he chuckled. He leaned against the counter, keeping his arm around Roxie's waist as they stood there. He looked over at Jimmy, who was openly flirting with Tiffany, hoping that maybe now the drummer would leave him alone about Roxie. "So I kind of feel like I shouldn't ask this, but do you want anything to drink?" Matt asked, looking down at Roxie. "Soda or water, maybe?"

Zacky chuckled as he watched the drunk girls. He handed Roxie a water when she asked for one. Zacky poured Madeline some more wine. He took a swig of his beer, "I am going to check on the food." He said. He walked out, knowing it wouldn't be long before his friends joined him out on the patio. He checked on the food, looking over as Johnny, Jimmy and Brian came through the door. He sat in one of the chair, looking at Madeline. He took a sip of his beer. He was glad that she seemed more relaxed than the day before. He watched as the guys took more shots. He looked at Madeline, "No shots today?" He asked.

---
Roxie smiled when Matt asked if she wanted something to drink, "Water is probably a good idea." She said, placing her hand over his. She took his hand, walking out to the patio with him. "Zacky why are you taking so long?" She asked, laughing softly as she sat next to Madeline. She looked at the other girl, "You gotta come along next time." She said, setting her bottle of water down. She looked up at Matt as he stood with his friends.

@ acid rain;

Madeline thanked Zacky when he refilled her wine glass, bringing the glass to her lips and taking a sip. She watched Zacky head out to the patio, following after the guys when they went outside as well. She sank into one of the patio chairs, sipping on her wine as Zacky sat down next to her. "I don't really think I should be getting drunk after the other night," Madeline told Zacky when he asked if she was going to do any shots. She was sure he thought she meant their argument, but what she really meant was sleeping with Brian. If she hadn't been so drunk, she wouldn't have done it. "Yeah, just let me know when you go and I'll join you," Madeline said to Roxie.

---

Matt was glad that Roxie decided on water to drink. She was an adult and could do what she wanted, but he didn't want her to get too drunk today. He let her drag him out to the patio, taking a seat in one of Zacky's patio chairs. "Have a little patience, Roxie," Matt laughed. "Unless you want to eat raw ribs? I don't know about you, but I definitely don't want to do that. I'll pass on food poisoning five days before we have to go back on tour." Matt hated being sick on tour, not only did it mean they might have to cancel shows, but it was impossible to get enough rest on tour to get better.

Zacky shook his head at Madeline, smiling, "Alright, you do what you wanna do." He said as he sat beside of her. He hated that she was beating herself up so bad about a fight. He chuckled at Matt's response to Roxie, "This is true. Poisoning my friends is not on my list of things to do." He said. He looked at Madeline, then finished off his beer. "You want more wine?" He asked when he seen her glass was empty. He stood up, offering to take her drink. He liked the idea of spoiling Madeline and keeping her happy. His last relationship ended because he didn't pay enough attention to her. Then again the band had always been his main focus.

---

Roxie nodded when Madeline agreed, "We will go one day before we go back on tour." She said, smiling. She looked over at Matt, "When have I ever been patient?" She asked, smiling. She watched him, "I will wait just for you." She said. She placed her hand over his, before pulling away slowly. She was glad they were all getting to spend time together. She looked over as Zacky got up and went to go get more drinks. Roxie was pretty drunk and she was honestly ready for a nap, but she was hoping food would help with that.

Brian sat there, staring at his beer bottle. He felt awful about sleeping with Madeline. It would be the second time he screwed over one of his band mates and he was worried about how pissed Zacky would actually be. He glanced over at Madeline when Zacky was gone, quickly looking away from her.

Roxie was glad when the food was finally finished, then got up, almost staggering. She was glad when Matt caught her, "I need food." She said, smiling. She grabbed a plate, getting some food, then sat at the table that Zacky had out back. She sat there eating, listening to the guys talk. She could tell something was up with Madeline and she wanted to ask.

@ acid rain;

"Uh yeah, I'll take a little more wine," Madeline said, handing Zacky her glass. "I think I should probably slow down a little after this." She knew Zacky was trying to spoil her and under different circumstances, she would love it. But now, after she'd slept with Brian, she didn't deserve it. Zacky was such a sweet, amazing guy and she didn't deserve to be spoiled by him. When the food was ready, Madeline got up to make herself a plate, taking a seat next to Zacky. She chanced a glance at Brian, seeing that he seemed to be feeling as guilty about everything as she did. She wished they could go back in time and not sleep together.

---

They all stood around talking until the food was ready. Matt say Roxie started to stumble and he reached out to steady her, chuckling. "Careful there," he told her. He followed her to the grill, making himself a plate before he went to sit down. "So...should we break out the bowl after this?" Matt asked. "It's been awhile since we sat around and smoked, it would be fun."

"Hell yeah, I've got some in my car!" Jimmy exclaimed.

"Probably not something you want to be shouting, Jim," Matt laughed.

"Why, are you suddenly a cop?" Jimmy asked. "I'll shout it all I want!"

Zacky nodded, "Alright." He said. He brought her back a glass of wine then sat down at the table with the guys. He chuckled when Matt mentioned bringing out the bowl, "Sounds like a plan to me." He said. Zacky took a swig of his beer, knowing that it was going to be an eventful night. He watched as Jimmy continued to hit on Tiffany. Tiffany looked at the guys, "You all should really come along when we go out on the boat again. It's fun." She said. Jimmy looked at her, "We would love to." He said, answering for his friends. Zacky looked at Jimmy, "Gee Jim thanks for answering for us." He said, laughing.

---

Roxie finished her food, listening to the guys talk, "Oh yea that is a good idea." She said, looking at Matt. "You'll like it." She said as she let her hand rest on his thigh. She knew Matt would like being out on the water. Johnny looked at them, "I don't know this many people on a boat. Sounds like trouble." He said, laughing. "I can see the headlines now." Brian said, chuckling. Roxie shrugged, "Well, its actually more of a yacht so you'll be fine." She said, taking a sip of her water. She watched as Jimmy got up, jogging off to go get his weed and bowl. He returned, then started to pack it. He took a hit before passing it to Matt. Roxie looked at Madeline, knowing something was up with her. She looked over as Matt when to pass the bowl to her. She took a hit from it before she handed it to Johnny.

@ acid rain;

Madeline was glad when Matt suggested smoking a bowl or two. Weed always relaxed everyone and with how much most of them had been drinking, it would practically knock everyone out like it had that night in the hotel room. "Well, I guess we're going out on the boat," Madeline said, eyeing Jimmy. But she didn't mind. A day out on the boat with everyone would be fun before they had to go back on tour. Madeline watched as Jimmy packed his bowl, taking a hit before he passed it to her brother. It went next to Zacky and then to her and Madeline took as big of a hit as she could manage, holding her breath to let the smoke permeate her lungs.

---

Matt only shook his head at Jimmy as the drummer went out to the car to grab his weed and his bowl. Matt eagerly took it when it was handed to him, taking a large hit before passing it to Zacky. "So when exactly are we supposed to go out on this boat?" Matt asked. He knew Jimmy had only answered for all of them because he wanted to sleep with Tiffany, but a day out on the boat would be fun. "Because we leave for tour again in five days. Unless you want to wait until we get back."

"Let's go tomorrow!" Jimmy shouted. He looked over at Emily, Tiffany, and Roxie. "Just make sure there are margaritas."

Zacky looked over at Jimmy when he mentioned going tomorrow. "This could only end badly." He said, laughing. "Someone is going to drown." He said, shaking his head. Johnny laughed, "Yea in liq our." He said, chuckling. Zacky shook his head, "It should be fun though." He said. It would be a nice change to their usual routine. Zacky took a sip of his beer, watching as the group passed the bowl around.

---

Roxie looked at Jimmy when he mentioned going the next day. "Sounds good to me." She said shrugging. Tiffany smiled when Jimmy mentioned margaritas, "Oh there is always margaritas." She said, laughing. Emily nodded, "And lots of tequila shots." She said. Roxie shook her head, "If there is any left after today." She said, laughing with Tiffany. Emily nodded, "This is true you two put a hurting on that bottle of patron." She said. Roxie took a sip of her water, looking at Matt. She looked at Tiffany, "What time do you want to meet?" She asked. Tiffany looked at everyone "How about noon?" She asked.

Jimmy smirked, "Works great." He said, answering once again for everyone.

@ acid rain;

"Noon?" Madeline asked, groaning. "That's kind of early. Can we do one?" Jimmy started to whine and Madeline rolled her eyes. "Alright, alright, we'll go at noon," she said. She pointed her wine glass in his direction. "You owe me for this, though." She hoped going out on the boat tomorrow would do more good than harm. And maybe it would give her a chance to talk to Roxie about what happened between her and Brian. Madeline hoped the other girl would have a little advice for her about it.

---

"When one of you idiots falls overboard, I'm not rescuing you," Matt said, chuckling. He would be surprised if at least one of them didn't fall off the boat, especially with how much Jimmy enjoyed tossing Johnny into bodies of water. "Jimmy can bring more tequila since he's the one that wants to go tomorrow," Matt put in. The drummer glared at him, obviously not happy with being volunteered to bring alcohol and Matt laughed. It served him right for answering for everybody else.

Zacky sat on the deck of the boat with a beer in his hand, relaxing in the sun. "I have to admit this was not one of Jimmy's worst ideas." He said, chuckling as he looked over at Matt and Brian.

Brian nodded, "Yea sitting in the sun and drinking all day. This is exactly how I like to spend my days." He said, smirking.

Zacky laughed, before taking a swig of his beer. He watched Madeline from behind his sunglasses, watching as she walked away with Roxie. He didn't know what they were up to, but he assumed that they were just going to drink and talk. They did that a lot. "Does it freak you out that Roxie and Madeline are good friends?" He asked Matt. He knew some people might not like that, but he thought it was a good thing.

Brian looked at Matt, "Yea what happens when you and Roxie quit talking. Does Madeline have to choose sides?" He asked, popping the top off another beer.

---

Roxie poured herself a margarita, then looked over at Madeline when she mentioned wanting to talk along. "Sure." She said, handing the girl the drink she had poured. She poured herself another drink, then walked with Madeline. Once they were away from the guys she looked at her, "What's up?" She asked, taking a sip of her drink. They had all just started drinking and Roxie was excited for how the day was going to go. "You seemed off last night." She said. Roxie had spent the night with Matt after the barbecue, but she noticed the whole night that Madeline was being quiet. Roxie took a sip of her drink, leaning against the railing, her hand wrapped around it.
