The following is a songfic based around the time frame of Zack and Kelly's wedding, this is intended to be part of a trilogy, enjoy!
Trouble In Paradise
Zack awaited Kelly's arrival anxiously, he had big news to tell her, his heart pounded with anticipation as Kelly pulled into his driveway. But to Zack's surprise, not only did the gang follow her out of the car, but another person made their way to his front door, Zack recognized the person as Jeff, the creepy guy Kelly had begun dating, the breakup, Zack hadn't yet gotten over it. "Hello Kelly, gang... Jeff." Zack eyes filled with anger just looking at the man, he wasn't creepy in the scary sense, Zack just didn't like the fact that Kelly had moved on so quickly, "Well Kelly, I know we're through, I just want you to know how I feel about that, so I wrote a little song for you." Zack picked up a disc, burnt on it was his band Zack Attack (a band which Kelly was the ex-bassist of) with their cover of a song that Zack was emotionally connected with, the song title said it all "The Unforgiven."
New blood joins this Earth
And quickly he's subdued
Through constant pain, disgrace
The young boy learns their rules
With time the child draws in
This whipping boy done wrong
Deprived of all his thoughts
The young man struggles on and on, he's known
A vow unto his own
That never from this day
His will, they'll take away
What I've felt, what I've known
Never shined in through what I've shown
Never free, never me
So I dub thee Unforgiven
They dedicate their lives to running all of his
He tries to please them all
This bitter man he is
Throughout his life the same, he's battled constantly
This fight, he cannot win, a tired man they see no longer cares
The old man then prepares to die regretfully
That old man here is me
What I've felt, what I've known
Never shined through in what I've shown
Never free, never me
So I dub thee Unforgiven
You labeled me so I've labeled you, I dub thee Unforgiven." Zack now felt rage coursing through his veins, not towards Kelly, but towards the man she was with, Jeff.
"I dub you Unforgiven Jeff," he said as tears started to fall from Kelly's eyes, "Kelly what's wrong?" Kelly then lifted up her shirt sleeve to reveal severe bruises, "There's more where that came from, Jeff did this!" Zack froze, "You're telling us that Jeff has been abusing you?" the gang asked in unison, "mm-hmm, he threatened to kill me or anyone that tried to stop it!" Kelly screamed frantically, "But, you're the woman, you OBEY ME!" Jeff shouted, Zack walked up to him and punched him in the head, killing him instantly, "No woman, especially Kelly shouldn't have to settle a score with scum like you!" Zack then approached a shaking Kelly and embraced her, "I'm sorry Kelly." he said
Author's Note: Sorry if the story got intense, I wanted to show that Zack was still loyal to Kelly despite the breakup and that he would do anything for her, hope you enjoyed this fanfic!- FEARLESS MASTER, P.S. Kelly Kapowski is hot!
