Ok, I was so bored today, so I wrote this angsty poem. Seriously creepy. It was going to be it's own little story on here, but I think I'm going to incorporate it in here, in one of the next few chapters.
Now I would like to thank my reviewers! *Tosses them each a box of Cheez-Its*
Justablob and wiseoldman, I'm trying to update as fast as I can! I just can't update sometimes because I don't know exactly where to go with it, I'm just kinda winging it.
Saxaphonebaby-yup, you got it!
Cute angels- err..sorry!
Flatfoot-92- yes I'm evil, I know. But if she had to die. The world is better off that way. Except for Freddy.
Shortstuff1- it really isn't gong to be either ship because he is kinda torn
XDeepxSmokexPurplexFirex- because she is pure evil. I don't like her. What kind of person thinks Freddy is hers and not mine…haha I'm just crazy.
On with the story. I have no idea what I'm doing or how long this is going to be, but I will finish it. You can all trust that I will not be one of those people who don't finish a story. I will always finish it or delete it. But this will be finished…soon I hope!

Marta's car pulled up to her house, a small home where she lived by herself with her collie in a rural area near the city. She had abandoned conversation after the first five minutes of Freddy desolately staring out the window. She just figured maybe he'd feel like talking once they got to her house and he was calmed down.
The car screeched on the gravel of her driveway, slowing to a stop. She turned the car off, and made one more attempt. "Freddy, come on. Your life will get better. I know it hurts, we both lost Katie in that accident, and it hurts me too. But it was just that, an accident. There was nothing you could do about it, it was not your fault, you have to accept that and move on with your life!" She looked him right in the eyes as she shakily finished her speech, and their eyes were both brimming with tears.
Freddy said nothing as he got out of her car and slammed the door, and walked up her porch.
She sighed and followed him. *He's going crazy…he can't live like this…maybe I should call Zack, I hope they're still friends…or he's fighting with Zack and involving him would make him even madder* Marta thought as she ran ahead of him to unlock the door. As she walked in, she turned on a light, illuminating her spotless kitchen, and tossed her coat over a chair at the small table.
Freddy, who was behind her, spun her around by the arm, so they were face to face. "Marta, you don't know what it's like, to have the one person you love, the one person who means the world to you, disappear forever. Katie is gone, and it's my entire fault, okay? It's ALL MY FAULT! I don't deserve to live! She would he alive right now if I didn't have to go show off for her…damn it Marta, don't you see? I'm worthless! I'm lower than dirt! I killed someone! And not just any someone, I killed Katie!" He was shouting now, suppressed sobs wracking his body. His voice trailed off, leaving no sound in that horrible silence except his own ragged breathing.
Marta pulled out a chair and lightly pushed him into it. She knelt on the floor beside his chair, and looked up into his face. "Freddy," she said, tears streaming down her face, "I think I do know what it feels like. I lost more than one person in that accident. I lost you."
"Me?" Freddy countered. "What in the Hell are you talking about? I'm right here!"
"You were gone. Maybe not physically, but you were emotionally void of any emotion. Before you quit the band 3 months later, there was no spirit to your drumming. It sounded empty and hollow, like you. The fierce force of passion in your heart for drumming was gone. All gone. You were an empty shell roaming in search of something you couldn't find. Freddy, believe it or not, I lost someone I loved very much that day too. I loved you…"
Freddy gave a slight chuckle. He couldn't believe this. Now Marta was ruining things for him too? *Why is everyone out to get me…why can't everything just go back to the way it was…* he thought, a contemptuous grimace on his face.
As if she could read his mind, Mara said, "I know you're hurt. Everyone got hurt. No, it is obviously not fair what happened to Katie, she didn't deserve it at all. But you don't deserve this either. You deserve to have a life, to move on, to be happy again. Freddy, things can't go back to how they used to be, we both know that, but maybe you can start a better future."
He stood up, and she mimicked that action instantly. They were standing face to face again, inches apart. Without warning or reason, Marta took Freddy by the shoulders and shoved him against the wall. She wasn't half a foot shorter than him anymore, and with ease she took him up in a passionate kiss.
Freddy was shocked at first; he had no idea what was going on. But he gave in to his instincts, and kissed her back. He remembered doing this with Katie…but Marta didn't need to know that.
Things got more heated, and Marta steered him back to her room, still in a lip lock. The pair hit her bed, still ferociously kissing and touching.
All of a sudden, Freddy sat up in shock. What he was doing had just fully hit him like a lightning bolt. "Marta?!" he exclaimed. "Damn it, what the Hell are you doing?"
She pulled herself off of him and stood up, straightening herself up as she spoke. "Oh my gosh, Freddy I'm sorry, I don't know what I was doing…It just happened, I couldn't help it! I used to love you, you know, and seeing you hurt like that hurt me too and-"
"Marta," he cut her off. "I'm leaving. I can't do this. Not right now." Freddy jumped off the bed and bolted from the room.
"FREDDY! WAIT! COME BACK! I'M SO SORRY!!!" Marta shrieked after him as he ran out the front door, leaving it wide open behind him.
Marta was shaking with fear and anxiety. Freddy couldn't be alone now. No telling what he would do. So she ran into her kitchen, picked up the phone, and dialed an almost forgotten number. She held it up to her ear, desperately hoping he was home.
"Hello, this is Zack Mooneyham," Zack said matter-of-factly from the other end of the phone.
"Zack? Oh thank God, Zack, Freddy is in serious trouble. He needs help, right away. I'm scared he's gonna hurt himself or someone or-"
"Woah, chill out. What happened? Where did you see him?"
"I was singing at a dingy old bar, and I noticed Freddy sitting all by himself, kinda tipsy. We started talking and apparently he got kicked out of college in L.A. and he got kicked out of his dad's in New York, so he came here and got his own apartment. But he's still really depressed and angry about-"
"-Katie?" Zack finished for her.
"Exactly." Marta said disdainfully. "But then we came back here to my place, and we were talking, and I was trying to convince him it wasn't his fault, and I kissed him, I couldn't help-"
Zack couldn't believe his ears. "You kissed him???"
"Yes…but that's not all…we were kinda…getting into it and we had just gotten into my room when he freaked out at himself and ran out of my house. I felt so horrible…now it's my fault if something happens…" she broke down sobbing.
"Dude, calm down. Where is he, I'll talk some sense into him," a voice slightly edged in fear.
"I don't know," Marta said between sniffles. "He just took off on foot."
"You still have that same house you got a few years back?"
"Yes."
"Shit…his apartment isn't too far from there, now I remember him saying something about it on the phone a few weeks ago…but I forgot that he was kicked out and moved here and everything until just now…damn. But he lives about 20 minutes away from me, I'm gonna go to his apartment and check it out, okay? Just hang in there Marta, it's gonna be fine."
"Thank you so much Zack, you have no idea what this means to me."
"Don't worry now, I'm gonna get his little punk ass straightened out for you, okay?"
"Okay," Marta hesitantly replied. "Call me later," she added. She hung up the phone and wearily flopped down on her living room couch. She called her dog over and turned on the news, uninterested , but she needed something to do, anything to try to distract her from Freddy.
She hoped Zack would have success at Freddy's…she hoped that one more person who she cared about wouldn't be lost tonight too.

Okay, what do you think? I'm thinking 2 or 3 more chapters should do it…I have most of the ending planned out as I type this. I want to thank my reviewers again for waiting, getting reviews means a lot to me. Toodles till next time.
