Happy summer everyone! I would've updated sooner but there was so much I had to do. Then I got wrapped up reading a whole series of books, which took up a week of my time. Hope you like this. This is more of a Freddy-centered chapter, so sorry if you were hoping to hear more from Summer.

SpaceCoyoteWaterMelon: Thank you so much

Nicky94 and Phenomenix: Here's the update, I hope it's as good as it sounds in my head.

iLOVEtheMETS19: Thanks! I try really hard to make each chapter special.

Chapter 25: Media Blitz (edited October 29, 2013)

Zack:

I blinked at the Twitter page, "According to the Delaney Twitter, they are riding to the first interview and concert which will take place tomorrow."

"And where would that be?" Katie asked.

"Massachusetts."

She smiled, "Good. She's still close to everyone." I nodded and went back to computer surfing.

"Do you think I should make a blog?" I asked as I flipped through a few of the ones that Summer had bookmarked.

"Why would you want to make a blog? It's not like we do anything but sit here and wait for the king of drama to grace us with his presence, eat, and watch TV. Then the same thing happens the next day." she said as she flipped through a magazine.

I shrugged, "Well, I don't know. It just sounds fun to have one. And, if it's so boring, why do you even come here?"

"Someone has to supervise you two."

"Mhm. Right." I said. Something clicked in my brain and I turned to her again, "How did you get that magazine? I thought it was in Summer's room." She lifted a key from her lap. "Oh! That's great! Now we can open the door and maybe Freddy will be happy again."

She snorted, "No way. Do you know how awful today would be? He'd be sitting in there wailing as the memories in the pictures come flooding back."

"Maybe it could be healing for him? And by the way missy, I do not appreciate your harsh and sarcastic attitude. It's rude to keep him so upset. Do you know what he's doing right now?"

"No, what?" she said, looking up.

I leaned closer to her, "Listening to the Taylor Swift breakup song iMix. Came from Marta this morning. He's played it three times Katie." I shook her by the shoulders. "I don't think I can take anymore of it! It's bringing my mood down! I don't care if she should've said no!"

"Take him out of the house then. Simple as that."

I rolled my eyes, "Thank you, I would've never thought of that. It'd would be simple if I could get him to shower or change his shirt once in a while. But that won't be happening."

She stood up, "You want him to shower and change?"

"Yes! It'd be amazing if he did." I watched as Katie calmly walked up the stairs and tried to open Freddy's locked door.

"OPEN THE FREAKING DOOR, FREDDY!" Katie said, starting to hit it. She continued this until she realized nothing would happen and came downstairs. She walked to the kitchen, grabbed a screwdriver. Within minutes, I heard his door fall. It made me wonder why the hinges were on the outside of his door, rather than the inside. What an shoddy workmanship.

All of a sudden, Taylor Swift stopped singing about the teardrops on her guitar. Freddy yelled a few times, but he seemed to be no match for Katie. I heard him walk across the hall and slam the bathroom door. Katie stomped after him.

"Take some new clothes too!" She said, opening the door and throwing them in, "This is gross. You can't stay in the same clothes for five days. Ew." Katie closed the door and came back downstairs to the couch. I blinked in surprise.

"I told you, Zack. All you need is tough love. Eventually, he got the message."

Summer:

"Yes, I brushed and flossed my teeth this morning. Yeah. I remembered my inhaler. I know. Love you too." I said, hanging up with my brother. I managed to convince him not to march next door and beat up Freddy, even though I really wanted him to. So he got over being mad at Freddy and went into worried brother mode, since he's really been the person raising me for the past few years when Mom isn't here (which is most of the time). And Sam's no help. He basically makes sure I'm okay.

I walked into the living room area and threw down a magazine, "The media has started. I must say, they were a little late." One magazine has made the break-up their front page story, even though they knew practically nothing about it. Not to mention, we're not even a popular band as of yet. There is a very nice picture of Freddy yelling at me, and then me slapping him across the face the last time I saw him. I see they've taken my side.

"...'From the pictures, you can tell that Freddy has an awful temper and wants to control Summer's life. Summer knew she didn't deserve all of the yelling and taught him a lesson. You go Summer'." Gavin read aloud. He cleared his throat, put on his newscaster voice and continued, "'Will the couple get back together?! Will this tear the band apart?! Buy our next issue and check the updates on our website.'"

I giggled, "This is the first time I've laughed about it. I know I shouldn't, but that was good."

"I try," he said, smiling.

"Well, this is the beginning of a huge story. Brace yourself."

OMG! It's the End of the Fairy Tale (And the World as We Know It)!

It has only been a few months and the couple we have nominated best couple ever has decided to call it splitsville. During a concert where the School of Rock opened for the Delaneys, insiders overheard the two fighting, and it may have something to do with the youngest Delaney brother. It started with a few words exchanged, then some yelling, and Summer declaring them to be officially over, insiders have told us.

We're guessing from the information we've received that Freddy was being controlling and lost his temper. Readers, if you hadn't noticed that Freddy has had a history of that, go check again. Fans have already started taking sides. Currently, it's 80% Team Summer and 20% Team Freddy. I think we all know who'll come out as the winner.

But Freddy and Summer, if either of you are reading this, get back together! We miss you both!

Check back every day for an update. And remember, TEENSCENE! Magazine is your #1 source for (all true) gossip. See you tomorrow!

I finished reading the article to Katie and switched off the computer. I didn't want Freddy finding out about this when he came out of the shower. He took such a huge step by cleaning himself up.

"Well, at least they're taking the correct side," Katie said approvingly.

I frowned, "Katie, there shouldn't be any sides. Summer and Freddy should be right here, making us sick becuase of the love they share. This shouldn't be happening!" I said, going into panic mode.

"Hey, how about we go for some ice cream?" Katie asked.

I stopped and blushed, "Oh, Posh. I'm flabbergasted. I had no idea you felt that way -"

"Nooo! Never. I meant we should take Freddy there. Sugar always makes him feel better."

I went back to normal and clearing my throat, "Oh right, of course. That's what I meant too." In my head, I was slamming my head into a wall.

She gave me a look and the conversation was dropped. Freddy came downstairs slowly, adding in a few overdramatic sighs.

"Oh, stop the drama, Freddy. Come downstairs like a normal person and get your shoes on. We're getting ice cream."

I could see his eyes light up a little at the thought of sugary goodness. He made it down and did as he was told.

We opened the door to numerous photographers and reporters in our faces.

"Katie! Zack! What's your opinion on all of this?" a reporter asked, shoving a microphone in our faces.

"Freddy! How are you coping with all of this stress? Readers want to know!" another said, ready to write down the response.

Freddy's response was slamming the door closed. Katie locked the door.

"So," I said, still blinking in surprise, "Ice Cream Dream delivers, right?"

A/N: Hope everyone liked it. Review, please! Also, sorry it's shorter than usual
