"You know, if Ashton catches us, he'll still tell my dad what we're doing." Zack told his boyfriend who he had pinned against the lockers.

"Totally worth it." Freddy said with a smile. Zack laughed and smashed their lips together. It had been about a month since Freddy had dinner at Zack's house and ever since, the two of them had began to be alot more open about their relationship. They still haven't gone all the way, but neither of them seemed to mind.

"Freddy, you make me feel so hot." Zack moaned as he began to grind against Freddy. "I just want to rip off all your clothes right here and now."

"I know baby, I know. But I need to you wait a little longer. Can you do that for me?" Freddy said sticking out his lower lip.

"I'll wait as long as I need to for you." Zack said as he planted a kiss on Freddy's forehead. Standing immediately behind them was Summer with an unamused look on her face.

"Babe, don't look now, but iCarly's trying to kill us with her mind." Freddy said, dropping the voice he was using on Zack. Zack turned around and looked surprised when he noticed Summer.

"Oh, hey boss? She's technically our boss right?" Zack asked.

"If you two are satisfied," She said looking down. Freddy followed her gaze and saw the rather large tent in Zack's pants and began to blush like crazy. "I'd like to get to my locker now." She finished.

"Ok, catch you later Babe." Freddy said as he walked off towards his class. Zack began to leave also, but Summer grabbed him by the sleeve.

"Summer, as you've clearly noticed, I'm not really comfortable being around you like this."

"I don't care, hold this." She said handing him a text book. He begrudgingly took it out her hands as she opened her locker.

"So, you found any other shows for us yet?" He asked, trying to cool off.

"Does that hurt?" She asked.

"Does what hurt?" He asked confused.

"Getting that hard?" He gave her a look. "Sorry, I'm curious. Leonard never has pants on when he's that hard."

"I really didn't need to know that and in these pants, yes." He told her.

"As for your question, it depends. Are you guys ok with playing for the school?" She asked.

"I don't see why not." He told her.

"Then I got something for you guys. The school's having a Halloween concert soon and someone may have suggested you guys to the principal." She said trying to sound innocent.

"Was it...you?"

"No, it was Starchild from Kiss." She said sarcastically.

"Ok, you don't need to be so rude about it. I'll run it by at practice today."

"Cool, it's my parent's anniversary dinner so I gotta leave right after school. Book," She said holder her hand out. "Also you're welcome."

"For what?" He asked. She looked back down again. "Oh right," He said, feeling his hard on had left him.

"Boo!" Lawrence yelled, jumping out from behind the locked with a clown mask on which Tomika proceeded to remove.

"Nah, you looked better with it on." She said said giving it back to him.

"You're no fun anymore." He said pouting.

"Don't you have somewhere else to be annoying?"

"Not for another twenty minutes." He told her, which got a laugh out her. "You smiled, I'm off the hook."

"You're just lucky you're cute." She mumbled.

"What?" He asked.

"Nothing,"

"Another day of Hell, here we come." Frankie said with a sigh.

"At least it's not all bad." Katie said walking up behind him, catching him by surprise.

"Yeah, I get to look at you." Frankie said, wrapping his arms around her. The two of them leaned in to kiss when Gordon came running up.

"Guys, guys." Hey said panting.

"Yes Gordon, what is it?" Katie asked annoyed.

"Have either of you seen Billy?" He asked, sounding concerned.

"No, what's up?" Katie asked, starting to become a little worried herself.

"We were supposed to be partners on this project in science class, but I didn't see him at all yesterday and I can't find him today either." He explained.

"Have you tried texting him?" Katie suggested.

"Yes, and calling him too. He hasn't answered at all." Gordon told her in a panicked voice.

"Ok, keep trying to get in contact with him. If it doesn't work, we'll just have to go to his house." He nodded before walking away.

"Where were we?" Frankie asked.

"Sorry, friends ghosting me is a major turn off." She said, heading into their class.

"Babe did you hear?" Freddy asked Zack as he entered his second class that they shared.

"About Billy? Yeah I did. I hope he's alright." Zack said.

"He should be. Billy's always fine, right?" Freddy asked.

"I'm not to sure about that. I didn't really think anything of it, but I noticed last week that Billy was wearing his sleeves pretty low." Zack told his boyfriend. Freddy's eyes went wide and his jaw dropped.

"You don't think he-" Freddy's voice trailed off. "He wouldn't."

"Freddy, think about it. You know how hard his dad's been on him since his mom left. Especially with how he acts." Zack said, looking down. Freddy began to breath fast. He had never been that close to him, but he couldn't stand the thought of Billy hurting himself.

"We need to go to his house after school." Freddy decided.

"Gordon's already going if no one gets ahold of him. We can't all go it'll freak him out. Plus, we have practice. Summer booked us for the Halloween concert, and it's going to be sooner than we realize."

"Yeah, I guess you're right." Freddy said, slumping into his seat. He knew they had to start practicing, but he really wanted to make sure Billy was alright. He'd just have to trust Gordon. Never thought I'd trust him with anything.

Everyone went through the rest of the day worried. None of them could focus on their classes and Billy was all they could talk about when lunch came around.

Gordon looked and the clock as he sat in his last class. He counted every second, waiting for that bell to ring. He was tapping his foot faster and faster with the passage of time. These last two minutes of class felt more like three hours. Finally the bell rang and he bolted out of his seat and made his way towards the front of the school when he was stopped by Marta of all people.

"Marta, I really can't talk, I gotta get going." She held onto his hand tightly. "Marta, I gotta go check on Billy."

"Billy was the first friend I made here," She began. Gordon calmed down to listen to her. "I moved here in third grade. I didn't know anyone and I was too scared to say hi because I was afraid no one would like me. Billy saw me eating alone and he came up and talked to me. If it wasn't for him, I'd still might be the scared girl no one talks to. So, please make sure he's ok for me." She finished up.

"Don't worry," He said giving her a hug. "I will." He said before taking off. Billy's house was about half a mile from the school so it didn't take Gordon much time to get there. He ran up the the front door and banged on it hard. He stood there in silence for a few minutes before knocking on the door harder. The door swung open and a man stood in front of him. He looked down at Gordon looking both curious and angry. "I-I'm here to see Billy?" He muttered. The man moved aside and let Gordon inside.

"Upstairs. Second door on the left." He said walking away. Gordon shook and ran upstairs. He found the door the man (who he assumed was Billy's dad) told him and knocked.

"No one's home." He heard from the other side.

"Billy open up, it's Gordon." He said.

"Go away," Billy said from inside.

"Billy everyone's worried about you. You can't just disappear and not say anything. Now open the door and talk to me." He heard the door unlock from the other side. He opened the door and saw Billy under the covers on his bed. "How did you...you know what, nevermind." He sat down a pulled the covers down off of Billy. "God, you look awful."

"I feel awful."

"Are you sick or something?" He asked.

"Or something." Billy responded. Billy held up his arms and Gordon saw all the scar marks covering his arms.

"Why?" He asked in a stern voice.

"Because just once I want control over something in my life." Billy said in a shaky voice. "I'm not even gay, but I get punished for it anyways."

"You don't deserve this man, you gotta go right up to your old man, look him straight in the eye and tell him, 'I am not gay.'"

"Easy for you to say, you're not the band's stylist. You don't care about fashion. Obviously." He said looking him up and down. Gordon looked at him annoyed.

"Speaking of fashion, I think I can cheer you up."

"Change my personality to completely to the point where I like sports?"

"Better. Billy we got a gig." Billy raised an eyebrow, but still didn't look much better. "We're playing at the Halloween concert at school and we need you to make our outfits." That got Billy's face to light up.

"Leave me, I need you gone to focus." He said, returning to his usual, prissy tone before shoving Gordon out the door.

"Well, I guess he's feeling better." Gordon said to himself before leaving.

"Where is he?" Summer demanded as they waited in their classroom. It was the last day before the concert and still, no one had heard from Billy besides Gordon.

"He'll be here." Gordon reassured her. "We didn't really give him much time you know?"

"Well. if he doesn't make it, we'll just go to Spirit or something." Chiaki suggested.

"Don't bother with them, I have what you guys really need right here." Billy said walking in with different outfits on a hanger. "Let's see, Zack, Tomika, Katie," He said tossing their outfits to them. He had one for every member of the band.

"Wow, you really did come through." Summer said, impressed.

"Yeah, you're the best man." Zack said, giving a light punch in the arm.

"I know honey, I know." Billy said, walking out of the classroom. Gordon smiled and followed Billy outside.

"Hey Billy, I know how you did it, but thanks."

"No big deal. When I get in the zone, shit gets done."

"Hey listen, if you ever want to talk about-"

"Stop. It's fine." Billy said without turning around.

"No it isn't, you need to get out of that house before-"

"Gordon," Billy said turning around with a serious face before flashing a fake smile. "It's fine," Gordon watched as Billy walked away. Back to the house he wasn't wanted in.

"This isn't over." He said to himself before returning inside.

"Come on out guys, I'm dying to see what you look like." Billy whined waiting for the band to step out. It was the night of the concert and Billy was really excited to see everyone wearing his costume.

"Look, I like the outfit," Zack began, "but are the contacts really necessary? My eyes are so itchy."

"I'm sorry, do you know an easier way to make your eyes red?" Billy asked in a sassy sarcastic tone.

"...no,"

"There you go, any other complaints?"

"Me and Marta the same outfit." Alicia said.

"Like, the exact same outfit." Marta finished.

"Yeah…?" Billy asked.

"Nevermind, they said at once before walking out of the room.

"What a pair of witches." He mumbled under his breath.

"Are you gonna change?" Katie asked.

"Yes, I just wanted to you all in your costumes first." (everyone's outfits correspond with their part in the upcoming song) He said leaving the room with his. "Go ahead and start playing, I'll be there in time for my cue."

"You heard him let's go." Chiaki said walking out onto the stage in front of the school where they were met with a loud applause. Chiaki smile and pick up his guitar. "Happy Halloween everyone!" He said into the microphone. "Why don't we start tonight off with a classic? Hit it!" He said before the music started.

Chiaki: Boys and girls of every age.

Wouldn't you like to see something strange?

At this part, a hole in the stage open and rises Billy in his Jack Skellington costume and makeup.

All: La la la la la la la la la la

La la la la la la la la la la

Weeeeeee!

The concert went off with a smash. Students danced all throughout the night and the band had just as much fun playing. After the show the band all celebrated back in their classroom.

"You guys sounded great up there and you looked even better." Summer told everyone. "And I think we can all agree we have Billy to thank for it."

"What?" Billy asked in shock. "I just did my job, that's all." He said shyly while rubbing his arm

"You did WAY more than what was needed buddy." Gordon said giving him a playful shove. "Seriously, thanks man." Billy smiled and held back the tears from coming.

"I still can't even begin to explain how cool it is to play with you guys." Chiaki said climbing into his car.

"Well, you better start getting used to it." Freddy told him with Zack at his side.

"Can I give you boys a ride home?" He asked.

"No thanks Mr. Tani. We'll walk." Zack said as they joined hands and left.

"Another job well done." Leonard draping an arm around Summer.

"Thanks so much Baby. Now, why don't we head back to your house for a celebration of our own?" She said in a seductive voice.

"I already told you, it's fine." Billy said walking away from Gordon.

"We both know you're full of shit. Just talk to me about it."

"There's nothing to talk to you about."

"Billy, this is not fine!" He said pulling down his sleeve and showing all the scar marks. Billy began to visibly shake. "Look, I know how much of a hard-ass your dad can be and how he isn't too friendly towards gay people. I know you're actually straight and all but…" He took a deep breath. "Billy, does he hit you?" Billy's eyes went wide, but before he could answer a car pulled up.

"William, get in." His father commanded. Billy looked at Gordon once more before climbing into the passenger seat.

"What's going on with you Billy?" He asked to the wind.

Sorry for the late release, I was busy and took one too many naps this week.
