A/N: I just got Vanessa Hudgens's new album and I love EVERY song on it. But a new fave would have to be the song I based this one-shot on. If you haven't heard it yet here's the link: /watch?veqS1rMBNx4

I hope I do the song justice.

I used to think
being like you
was the key to having everything every dream come true

Alessandra looked into the eyes of her boyfriend of over two years. He seemed to have everything he ever wanted. Only she knew the real story.

I used to think

following the crowd
was the only thing that I could do until I found out

Today, as usual, they were at one their friend's parties. It was hard to think of a time they were truly by themselves. But to today was going to be different. Ale finally came to a realization. She smoothed her top and rose from her spot on the couch.

"Babe, I'm gonna go home." Ale said reaching out and touching her boyfriend's broad shoulders as he talked with his friends. He merely nodded his head in her direction, while Zac and Jason gave the effort to actually say 'bye' to her. But that gesture made what she knew she had to do even easier. She jumped into her Audi and hoped no one would hold this against her.

I'm okay (dig it)
sometimes you gotta do your own thing (dig it)
every winter turns to spring (dig it)
and everybody's got there own wings
the little girl you knew
the one that never stood up to you
who kept her silence too long
well she's gone with the wind
and now I'm standin my ground
and who I am and for that I'm proud
and the girl that you knew
well she's gone with the wind

Four Months Later

Ale walked into the sound stage that harbored her new show. Over her breakup she didn't do all of the usual things girls did like drowning her sorrows in cookie dough ice cream, listening to awful break up music, or watching old movies. At first her friends and family were afraid she was hiding her feelings until they realized she had grieved enough when she was still with him. She was the happiest she had ever been.


she's gone gone (she's gone she's gone)
she's gone gone (she's gone she's gone)
she's gone gone (she's gone she's gone)
yeah she's gone with the wind

After going to hair and make-up she decided to chat with her new cast mates. And that's when she saw him.

I'm speakin up
my conscience is clear
and I don't care what anybody thinks I've released my fear
and I don't have to be
what you want me to be
coz every time I try to fit it feels like I'm in a prison

"Hey." He said in a hushed tone, a tone she had never heard from him before. It almost startled her.

"Hi how have you been?" Ale said looking into his deep brown eyes, this time without melting.

"I've been good. You know considering the love of my life left me without a single word. I got home and you were gone. It felt like 'Still In Love With You' all over again." His voiced seemed pained, as if it was hurting him just to speak to her.


I'm okay (dig it)
sometimes you gotta do your own thing (dig it)
every winter turns to spring (dig it)
and every bodies got there own wings
the little girl you knew
the one that never stood up to you
who kept her silence too long
well she's gone with the wind
and now I'm standin my ground
and who I am and for that I'm proud
and the girl that I was
well she's gone with the wind

"That's not true," Ale said calmly, "I left you with a note. I think it said everything I needed to say. Except that it really wasn't you. When I was with you I put myself down. I let you have complete control over me and I didn't fight for myself and what I felt was right."

"If it had nothing to do with me then why did you leave? Ale I was going to marry you!! I wanted to be with you forever. And then you were gone." He said losing his cool


she's gone gone (she's gone she's gone)
she's gone gone (she's gone she's gone)
she's gone gone (she's gone she's gone)
yeah she's gone with the wind

"Being with you made me lose myself. I can stand on my own two feet and know that I'll be alright. You'll find the girl you need one day." She said slipping her hand around his.

"You're they girl in need. Always have been and always will be." He answered looking down at their interwoven hands. "It wasn't supposed to be this way."

"I'm not that little girl anymore. She's gone."

one look in my eyes
and you will see I'm different

I'm findin myself everyday and I'm on the way
I have changed
the little girl you knew
the one that never stood up to you
who kept her silence too long
well she's gone with the wind
and now I'm standin my ground
and who I am and for that I'm proud
and the girl that you knew
well she's gone with the wind

"Ale we need you in wardrobe!"

"Well, I guess this is the end." He said slipping his hands out of her grasp and into his pant pocket.

"Yeah, I guess so." Ale said with a sad smile.


She's gone gone (she's gone she's gone)
she's gone gone (she's gone she's gone)
she's gone gone (she's gone she's gone)
yeah she's gone with the wind

She gave him their last kiss on his cheek.

And knew that girl he loved was gone with the wind.
