!!WARNING!!

This chapter has drinking and some sexual stuff! If you don't like it than I'm REALLY sorry and wait for the next chapter!

One last thing I have to say: Honestly, if you don't like my fic, then that's cool with me, you don't have to like it. Also if you don't like it, then send me a review rationally explaining why, and then don't bother to read again. I don't really think it's nice of someone to trash my story chapter by chapter, its really quite immature to tell you the truth.

The first bad review I got from someone was fine because it said that my fic was not that bad but you didn't like it. That's cool, I cant please everyone, but then leaving more and more that pretty much are slamming my intelligence, that's just not cool. So if you don't like it, I suggest you don't read it, and let it go. I mean, you cant like every single story you read, so find one you do like and read that. And if you insist on reviewing them badly, give me some reasons why it's bad, or give me pointers on how to make it better.

Also calling someone a retard just isn't right. People are mentally retarded and I don't think its very nice you to make fun of them. I honestly don't think that they want to be they way they are. Why would they when people use their disability as an insult to an everyday person?

Lastly, here is a reviewer's review I didn't appreciate.

avril lavigne is so not a poser ... next time spell her name rite at least i mean ya rock n roll is great .. but avril lavignes music is so awesome! i guess u just dont apreciate anything awesome...

good story tho i loved it!!(except the avril lavigne thing) and if u thing she ruined punk she didnt ... simple plan did ... they suck ass

Okay, first, your first review as I said, want bad I like how you like my story and I'm sorry if I don't think that her name is worth spelling. I think our views of awesomeness is very different so I won't insult your view directly if I don't have to. I hate her because I think she is horrible, and every person I have met who remotely likes real punk, and real rock, agrees with me. I agree with you that she didn't single handedly ruined punk, simple plan had a hand in that as well.

Also when I put this into my computer, your review's had about 20 spelling mistakes, so please don't give me that fucking crap about spelling.

All I'm saying is that I have my views and you have yours, so do not for one second think that it is all right to go and insult someone for their way of doing something, or for their possibly mental retardedness. I hope you take what I said to heart, and don't continue to send these reviews without maturig a little first, and I also want to let you know, that this is the last time I say this so nicely.

If you don't like my fic, but want to read another one that is about Freddy and Katie, I can recommend a few to everyone:

If you want anymore, send me a NICE review NICELY asking for one.

And thank you to all the new reviewers who are mature:

Roisin: I hope you like it!

Ella Potter: I love Katie/ Freddy too, their like my favorite couple ever!

SiennaR79: I try and make it as real as possible, but still have an edge of a love story.

The next morning Freddy woke up at about 9 and felt over to his right. Katie wasn't there, upon realizing that, he quickly jumped out of bed, and he looked around and then made his way downstairs. He looked in the kitchen to see Katie making pancakes. He tried to sneak up on her, and just as he reached to grab he shoulder and scare her, she said.

'You do know that I'm holding an iron skillet with hot oil in it right?' she had sarcasm in her voice.

'How do you always know? I can never sneak up on you.' He pouted. She just smiled and gave him a lingering kiss.

'Pancakes? The most fattening breakfast ever and it has to be my favorite right?' she laughed. They sat down and ate pretty much in silence, except when Freddy started choking on his milk. How he managed that, Katie never knew.

After breakfast they headed upstairs to get ready for the party, they took their own respectful showers and got into clothes. Katie pulled on some loose jeans and a Kurt Cobain t shirt, and Freddy wore loose black pants and his favorite white shirt that said 'If you think my hair is bad, look in a mirror' written in black letters.

Downstairs, all the speakers were set up, and the CD's were in. the only thing left to do was wait for people to get there, to make the time pass, um quicker, they found ways to amuse themselves, Freddy's favorite was the dice, one was a body part the other an action, you get the idea. Lets say that time passed quickly for both of them, and it was almost a bother when people started coming. The first were Summer and Zach, as neighbors living down the street, it was very easy to get a ride to places together. They both had a crush on each other even if they didn't know it yet. Summer was too stubborn to admit anything, and Zach was too afraid of rejection.

The next to appear was Gordon, closely followed by Michelle and Tomika. The two girls had gotten increasingly inseparable over the years and Michelle had helped Tomika to lose those extra pounds. Tomika now was tall and slim and looked great. The Eleni came in looking happy, and stood by the door to wave bye to her new boyfriend, who it seemed, was a great choice by the smile on her face. The last to arrive was Marta. She made a big scene of taking off her coach purse, and Gucci sunglasses. Then she walked over and gave Freddy a huge smile and a hug.

'Hey Freddy, sorry I'm a bit late.' She smiled and gave a giggle. She was considered hot to most guys in the school. She was of medium height and supermodel skinny. She had long blonde hair that was always perfect and a huge smile full of very white teeth. She knew she looked good and wasn't afraid to flaunt it. However underneath that mop of bleach blonde hair there wasn't much. If you asked her the best place to get a certain shopping bag while stuck in the middle of a traffic jam, she was your girl, but if you asked her the square root of 100 she would probably say 10000. Yet this didn't bother her, she always got what she wanted, well everything except Freddy. She just couldn't figure out why he didn't like her the way she liked him. She had never had a problem finding the guy she wanted before him. The only person that knew the reason was Freddy. He had never told anyone why he didn't like Marta but the truth was that she just wasn't Katie. He didn't have any other reason than that. He did like Marta for a while but when he went out with her and saw Katie he just couldn't stop staring. She was the one for him. That was all he grew to know. She was everything Marta wasn't and more. Katie was short, had dark hair, and always tan- looking skin. Her eyes always sparkled when she looked at him, and her smile always seemed to hold a secret that no matter how hard you tried, you would never know.

Eventually he broke up with Marta, and they stayed friends, but everyone knew that she never got over him. Sure after that she dated a new guy almost every other week, but everyone still knew she liked him.

Once everyone was there, the party started, they put on the CD, which warmed everyone up with some rock, which everyone liked. The sound of Guns n' Roses could be heard throughout the house, then the genre's changed very abruptly to Mystique's Scandalous. Most people started dancing, and everyone was having a good time. Somewhere in the beginning of the party, someone broke out the Smirnoff. Freddy didn't care. They could drink the place dry and no one would ever know. His mother was obsessed with everything in the house being fresh, so every month whether they were there or not, their personal caterer would come and change the bottles for new ones. Another thing about their caterer was that he was a known alcoholic, so he would open each one to taste it to 'make sure it was fresh'. His mother didn't particularly care, as long as there was some left. Luckily for Freddy the next day was the day for the caterer to replenish the houses supplies, and the maids to come and give the place a good scrub down.

After a while, Zach was standing near the food drinking a Mikes it was very unlike him. Even though he was one of the hardest rockers in the band, he usually didn't use that as a reason to jerk off, and screw around.

'Hey' said Summer. She came over with a coke. 'Wanna sip?'

'No thanks, I'm not a fan of coke.'

'Okay for one this is Pepsi, and for another, didn't you once tell me that not everything is as it seems?' she replied with a coy smile. Zach took the cup and took a sip. He realized that it was mixed with strong rum.

'Wow Sum, I didn't think of you as a drinker.' He said. 'I'm very disappointed.' He joked she just laughed.

'Ya I'm not but when I do I sure as hell do.' She laughed again. Then, just like in those crap chick flicks, a slow song came on. It wasn't a bad one, Don't Cry by Guns n' Roses.

'Hey, a crazy thought just came into my mind. Wanna dance?' asked Zach. If it weren't for the drinks he probably never would have gotten up the nerve to ask her. But to his relief she smiled and nodded. When they got to the dance floor he pulled Summer close so that she could rest her head on his shoulder. Zach was very tall while Summer was not so surprisingly petite. They just started dancing, and Zach decided that this was his favorite song ever.

At this time, when the couples were dancing and no one was paying attention, Freddy and Katie snuck out of the room and into the kitchen where they engaged in some not so moral conduct.

In between kisses Katie said they should probably get back to the party. Freddy responded to that by kissing her more deeply than before.

'Okay maybe we can stay a little longer.' She said with a smile. They continued to kiss for a while when all of a sudden they heard, 'Hey Katie are you in here? I swear you are the hardest person to- HOLY SHIT!' it was Summer looking for Katie. Katie and Freddy quickly separated a bit. 'Oh my god, my eyes! Did I just see what I think I saw?'

'Okay Summer, you can calm down, and yes you did see what you think you saw.' Said Katie, hoping to god that she wasn't going to be mad. Then Summer's face went from disbelief to total joy.

'YES! How long have I been telling you to get together! Oh my god this is so the happiest day of my life!' she started going nuts rambling on and on until she got to the end with. '...And then I mean didn't I tell you. Hey why the hell am I not in on this? Come to think of it why doesn't anyone know?'

'Umm I dunno, we were just waiting for the right time to tell everyone I guess, and I guess with the whole Dewy thing it didn't seem right to say.' Explained Katie. 'So you cant tell anyone okay?'

'Okay, and just so that you can bribe me I'll let you in on a little secret.' She looked at Freddy and then pulled Katie over to the other side of the room. After whispering something in her ear Katie also went ballistic.

'OH MY GOD! Are you serious? YAY! O my god no wonder this is the happiest day of your life!'

Then Freddy put in his bit. 'Um I don't mean to interrupt this little exchange but could we get back to the party before someone thinks were having a gang bang in here?'

'Ah that's Freddy for you.' Said Katie lovingly. 'Always has his head in the gutter.'

'But that's why you love me. You love it when I say...' he leaned in and whispered some things that R doesn't allow. She blushed and they began to walk back to the party.

As they walked in, Freddy and Katie were in the eye of someone whom they didn't see. Marta stood in the far corner glaring at Katie.

"How dare she? Where dose she get the nerve to think for a tiny second that she could snuggle up with Freddy like that? Well, in all due time she will realize her mistake, that she was wrong to even start to challenge me." With a smirk on her face she stood up on a table so everyone could see her and yelled, 'TO THE POOL!' everyone cheered and made their way to the pool.

In the pool everyone was having a great time. Just splashing each other and forgetting the worries of tomorrow, they just let loose and had fun while getting considerably tipsy at the same time.

Marta came out of the bathroom with a very skimpy bikini on, that covered, but not by much. It was light pink and had tie on strings for the top and the bottom. It was so light that at a stray glance it looked like she wasn't wearing anything. Katie was next to go into the bathroom and upon seeing Marta said, 'Wow, hot stuff, looking good.'

Marta just smiled at her and when Katie was out of sight, walked over to Freddy. 'Hey Freddy.' She said to his back. When he turned around and caught site of her bathing suit, or lack there of, he was all stutters.

'Umm, hi, umm, you look... looking good Blondie.' He finally got out.

She giggled flirtatiously. 'Aww Freddy, I love it when you call me that.' She batted her eyes and leaned in closer. He took a centimeter step backwards.

'Hey, where's Katie?' he asked. Her smile went down slightly.

'Not here.' Said Marta.

'Maybe I should go and find her.' He said starting to walk away. Marta however, had different plans. She grabbed Freddy's hand and pulled him toward her. 'Why don't you forget about her for a sec and focus on what is here.' She leaned in a bit, when all of a sudden she heard a voice.

'There you are, I've been looking everywhere for you.' Said Katie. She was wearing a new bathing suit that she had been saving it was a somewhat skimpy black bikini. The top was a halter that tied in the front and had a push up in it so you could give yourself cleavage and stuff, and the bottom was a regular tie on the sides. However simple it may seem, Katie looked absolutely stunning in it. Freddy, much to Marta's dismay, walked as quickly as possible over to Katie and wrapped his arm around her shoulders.

'You look absolutely gorgeous.' He said.

'Do you really think so? She asked. Katie had always been kind of hesitant about her body. She wasn't one to go flashing it around like some cheep hoe. She hated to admit it but she would never want to be like Marta, flaunting around large amounts of skin, and letting everyone literally have a piece of her.

'Wow Katie, looking sexy!' said Summer, laughing. Summer wasn't one for swimming, or tanning. She liked her pale completion; it made her lips look redder and her hair look darker, like Kristen Kreuk in Snow White.

'Aw come on Summer, just get into your bathing suit and have some fun, you never swim with us.' Said Freddy. He also knew how happy his best friend would be if he managed to convince her to get into a bathing suit.

'Ya, the day that peer pressure gets me to do anything, is the day that you slick your hair into the preppy look of 5th grade.' Laughed Summer.

'Touché.' Said Freddy. All of a sudden he picked up Katie and started walking to the pool when he got to the edge she began hitting him in the chest.

'Freddy Jones, you let me go this very instant!' she yelled. He just shrugged and said, 'If you insist.' And he threw her into the pool. She came out smiling, but turned on him and pretended like she was mad.

'You sir, are so dead!' and she tackled him right into the pool where pretty much everyone watched them have a water fight/ flirting spree.

'Are they not the cutest things in the world?' said Michelle admiring Freddy, and Katie's relationship.

'They make me gag.' Said Marta outright.

'Hey, what's your deal?' asked Michelle. She didn't understand how Marta could be like this.

'Look at her; she's all over him, what a slut. I can't believe her; she actually thinks she has a chance with him. He's mine everyone knows that.' She said.

'Look Marta, no offence but everyone knows that Freddy and Katie are like the only couple in the world that will be together for sure. I know you're jealous, but it's the truth. You and Freddy are over, I'm sorry to say, and you have no right to act like he belongs to you.' Said Michelle. Katie was her friend and she wasn't going to let this blonde ditz talk trash behind her back. She turned away and walked over to Tomika and started to talk about Freddy and Katie to someone who shared her same track of thought.

Freddy and Katie wrapped up their water fight, and climbed out of the pool. Freddy went into the house to order pizza and Katie was lying on a chair by the pool. Marta now decided to make her move.

'Hey Katie.'

'Hey, what's up?' asked Katie.

'Nothing, I was just observing you and Freddy, you guys seem to be getting close hu?' she asked in a friendly voice.

'We're just really good friends that's all.' She said.

'Ya, sure, with Freddy there are no such things as good friends. And then once you go past that barrier there isn't any going back, ya know what I mean?'

'Not really, what are you getting at?' asked Katie, she didn't know what Marta was saying, and she didn't like where this was going.

'All I'm saying is that don't get to close, because he'll end up cheating on you with whoever, and breaking your heart. Don't get me wrong, Freddy is my friend, but I did date him. I know him very well. He likes to play the field, ya know?' said Marta trying her best to look sincere.

'Thanks Marta, I'll keel that in mind' said Katie. Just then Freddy came back and asked what they were up to.

'Oh, nothing,' said Marta 'just some girl talk.' With that she got up and left. The first stage of her plan was in motion. Plant the seed of distortion, deceit, and lack of trust.

The pizza came and everyone went back to the living room. After eating so much pizza they thought they would puke, someone turned on the music again. Eventually, the only rap song that Katie had ever gotten into came on. Freddy knew that Tipsy by J- Kwon was a favorite of Katie's so he went over to her and asked her to dance. After leading her to the dance floor, they got into the music which also entailed heave grinding.

Not that either of them minded of coarse. This was pretty much the last straw, and everyone knew something was up. They knew that they had to be going out, because it was so obvious. However for the sake of argument, they decided to let them not know what they know. After the dancing and eating died down, Freddy stood up on the table.

'Everyone, ya, all you people, shut up. Today is not only one of fun but also one of mourning. Dewy was a father figure to us all I think. He really brought us together for paths we never thought we would be able to take. Now we're all going to go down to the basement where there is a picture of Dewey, and I want all of you to light your candles, maybe say something and then walk away as a symbolism thing. And on the way down, no talking as a sign of respect.'

Everyone quietly walked down to the basement where they say a picture of Dewey. Like Freddy said, that left their candles in front of his picture. Some of them said something, some just cried silently, and some just held a fake look of being all right. The last to go was Freddy. After everyone was out of the basement, Freddy began to cry silently.

'Well Dewey,' he said. 'I guess that this is it. Dude, you really have no idea of how much you've given us. If it wasn't for you I would probably still have that hair, and I would never have even noticed Katie. Ya, can you believe it? Her and me? I never thought I would be enough for her. So what I'm trying to say is, thank you, for everything that you have given us, and for totally bringing us together.' With that he just broke down with sobs.

Just then an arm wrapped around his shoulders. Surprisingly enough it wasn't Katie, and it wasn't Marta coming to hit on him again. It was Zach. He had been so incredibly quiet since he had found out.

When he found out he didn't cry. He didn't yell, or beat something up. He had just hung up the phone and sat there. Zach didn't know how long he sat there, he just did, he get the phone call sometime in the afternoon and before he knew it he was still sitting in that position when his mom called him down for dinner. Now however, he was crying harder than Freddy had seen him when he broke his collarbone. It seemed as if he never would stop.

And so the boys stayed, in their grief and mourning. But at the same time as how was it was, there is something good about grieving, the fact that after you grieve you move on to the life you were always meant to have, and maybe it would be hard, and you thought you wouldn't make it, but the fact is that you will. And that is an encouraging thought.
