Freddy half lead half carried Zack into the room. They'd gotten many odd looks in the elevator, due to Zack's random outbursts and slurred words it wasn't even funny, but Freddy had just stared straight ahead, never speaking or looking at anyone else until they got off. They he'd had to fish through Zack's jean jacket, earning some more odd looks until he found the key. He'd swiped it angrily and walked in.

Laying Zack softly on the bed, he proceeded to take off his friend's shoes and jacket, and managed to get him under the blankets. He sat in the chair across from the bed, crossed his arms and glared at his best friend.

All he wanted was for Zack to pop up and say "April Fools" even though it wasn't April. He wanted him to snap out of it, and explain what was going on. True, they'd argued, but honestly Freddy didn't even know what they'd argued about. One minute they'd been talking about the band, and the next Zack was stalking off and not talking to him for days. His mind drifted slightly, and he thought back to the fight.

---FLAHSBACK—
Freddy and Zack sat in the cafeteria, arguing over who was prettier, Alyssa Vanezia or Jill Davenport.

"Come on dude, Jill's got nice eyes, but Alyssa's got the legs...and the hair." Zack said.

"But the eyes count more, because it's what you actually look at. Jill's eyes are swirls of different blues! Kind of like Katie's, only Katie's are brown." Freddy argued.

Zack's eyes narrowed discreetly. "You like Katie's eyes?" he asked.

Freddy shrugged. "I don't know, I was just comparing them to Jill's."

"So you're saying you don't like Katie's eyes."

Freddy looked confused. "They're ok, I guess."

"Just ok??" Zack exclaimed. "There're amazing! Beautiful! Spectacular!"

"Yea, I guess your right."

"So you're saying that you love her eyes."

"Yea, sure." Freddy said exasperatedly.

Zack glared at Freddy. "Well, I hope you two are happy together." He said coldly, stalking off.

"Zack, wha-"

"Don't bother Jones. I don't want to talk to you."

Freddy just sat there, staring after his friend.
---END FLASHBACK—

Freddy looked at the floor. He was upset, yes, but he was disappointed. He and Zack had promised that they'd always work things out. Getting drunk wasn't he called "working stuff out". He then felt an emotion he couldn't place. He was feeling bad but some of the bad feeling was replaced by...anger?

"Why'd you do this Zack?" he asked softly. "What can't you tell me?"

He didn't expect him to answer, but it felt better to have the question asked, even if no one was listening.

"Oh good your up." Zack laboriously turned his head, and saw Freddy.

"I thought I said I didn't want to talk to you Jones."

"Oh shove it. You'd talk to me if you knew how much you worried everyone last night, how long we looked for you, and how many weird looks I suffered from to get you here." Freddy snapped.

Zack quickly shut his mouth, eyeing him. "What do you want then?"

Freddy held out his hand, which was holding a cup of what looked like toxic sludge. "Drink this. My Uncle Tommy, you know the one who's always drunk? He swears by this. He says it'll get rid of a hangover faster than you can say, well, hangover."

Zack grudgingly accepted the cup and drank it. He then proceeded to spit it out. "What in Gods name is in this? It tastes awful!"

"You don't want to know." Freddy said wryly. "Just drink it. It'll make you feel better, I swear."

Zack looked him in the eye, and he noticed for the first time that his friend seemed genuinely worried. He drained the contents of the cup, and made a face.

"That's exactly why I never get drunk." Freddy said, laughing. He took the cup and, since it was plastic, shot it in the garbage can, and it hit the rim and fell in. He turned his head back to Zack and eyed him curiously. "So, what was last night about?" he asked.

Zack cocked his head slightly, squinting as the light came at him at a new angle. "What are you talking about?"

"Zack you were slammed when we got you last night. Katie and El found you in the bar." Freddy said. "What was that all about?"

"I was angry at you, I think."

"Yea, I got that much when you stalked off and refused to talk to me. But why were you mad? What'd I do?"

Zack frowned. "I don't know. I-I think I overreacted. You just went on and on about Katie's eyes, and how much you liked them."

Freddy stared at him incredulously. "Zack..." he was speechless. "Zack, I didn't say that. You got offended when I said that I liked Jill Davenport's eyes better, and then you got offended when I said I liked Katie's. You were screwing with my head man!"

Zack hung his head. "Yea, I guess your right. Sorry dude." He said. He managed to get the words out before his face turned a shade of green and he bolted for the bathroom. Freddy heard him retching, and turned on the blender to make more of his uncle's concoction.

"Coming, coming. Hold your horses." Eleni exclaimed as she made her way to the door. Katie had gone down to the pool to swim for a while. She swung open the door, and was surprised to see who was there. "Freddy, hi." She said.

"Hey El." He said softly. "Can I come in?"

She moved away from the door so he could come in, and she closed it behind him. She leaned against it and crossed her arms across her chest.

"I'm really sorry about last night." He said. "I was worried about Zack, and I blamed you for losing him, even though you can't really lose him because he's not yours to lose, and I majorly overreacted, and-" he was rambling now.

"Freddy it's ok. I couldn't sleep at all, I felt awful. I knew Zack was messed up, and I should have kept him in the room." Eleni said.

Freddy grinned at her. "So we're good?"

"We always are." Eleni smiled as her cousin enveloped her in a big hug.

Welp, not my best work. But, I wanted to try to convey the relationship between Freddy and Zack...not sure if it was good. But oh well, I tried. Now I'm off to try and relive this crick in my neck...from falling asleep in HP: PoA. Yes, yes, I fell asleep 3 times. Now my neck hurts. Hey, well, in the next chapter, Freddy will apologize to Katie, the band will perform, and all hell will break loose. Later guys.
