Vanessa Hudgens was known for her role as Gabriella Montez in the Disney movie High School Musical. Her career had launched right after the premiere. Vanessa had signed with a record label when the movie got released. She had gone from an ordinary eighteen year old girl to one of the most popular teenagers in Hollywood. It was also no secret that she had fallen for her co-star Zac Efron. She and Zac had become a couple when they started filming and have been inseparable ever since. The couple had made a name for themselves. Vanessa and Zac's life at the moment was going perfectly.

"I miss you. When are you coming home?" Vanessa asked her boyfriend as she talked to him on the phone.

"I miss you too baby. I will be coming home in three weeks. We just need to get through the next couple of weeks. Australia isn't the same without you here with me" Zac said.

"I know. The next couple weeks are going to be hard" Vanessa said as she played with her hair.

"How's everything going at home?" Zac asked his girlfriend of two years.

"Everything is going okay. Stella and my parents have been trying to keep me busy" Vanessa said.

"Oh, hey babe I need to go. I will call you later okay?" Zac said.

"Okay, I love you" Vanessa said.

"I love you too Ness" Zac said.

The couple hung up and Vanessa walked downstairs in her home that she owned in the Hollywood hills. Her cell phone rang and Vanessa picked it up without looking at the caller ID.

"Vanessa, it's Nicole. We have a problem" Nicole, Vanessa's publicist said.

"What's going on?" Vanessa asked as she sat down on her couch.

"A website just released some nude pictures of you. They are all over the internet" Nicole said calmly.

"What?" Vanessa asked as she grabbed her computer.

Vanessa opened her internet browser and saw the headlines and breaking news articles. She looked at the pictures and cried.

"Vanessa?" Nicole asked.

Vanessa took a deep breath and tried to gain her composure.

"Why did this happen to me?" Vanessa cried.

"Vanessa, there are magazines and newspapers asking for a statement. Do you want to make a comment?" Nicole asked.

"No" Vanessa cried.

"We are going to get to the bottom of this okay? I will call you in the morning and tell you what I know" Nicole said.

"Okay" Vanessa said as tears ran down her face.

Nicole and Vanessa hung up. Vanessa picked up her phone and called her parent's home.

"Hello?" Gina answered.

"Mom, can you come over please?" Vanessa cried.

"Van, what's wrong?" Gina asked worriedly.

"Just come over" Vanessa said.

"Okay, I'm on my way" Gina said.

The mother daughter duo hung up. Gina walked into the living room of her home where her husband, Greg was sitting.

"Vanessa just called crying. I'm going to go over there and see what's going on" Gina said.

"Is it Zac?" Greg asked about his daughter's boyfriend.

"I don't know but I am going to find out" Gina said as she kissed her husband's lips.

Gina walked out of the house and was met by the paparazzi that was camping outside of the Hudgens home.

"Gina, what do you think of Vanessa's nude photos? Have you talked to Vanessa? Did Zac release them?" the paparazzi asked.

Gina silently got into her car and drove away. She drove until she reached her eldest daughter's street and parked her car in front of the house. Paparazzi swarmed Gina as she walked to the front door of Vanessa's home. They showed the Gina the pictures that were accumulating on the internet. Gina unlocked the door to her daughter's home and walked in.

"Van?" Gina called.

Gina heard Vanessa cries coming from the living room. She walked into the room and saw Vanessa curled up in a ball. Gina sat next to Vanessa and took her into her arms.

"Honey, what's going on?" Gina asked.

Vanessa took a deep breath. Her mother didn't know about the pictures that Vanessa had took for her ex boyfriend that had just been released.

"I did something stupid" Vanessa said.

"What did you do?" Gina asked as she put her hand on Vanessa's shoulder.

"Please don't judge me" Vanessa said.

"Honey, tell me what's going on" Gina said.

"When I was going out with Michael a couple years ago, he asked me to send him some pictures of myself naked. I emailed them to him but he said that he had never got them. This morning, Nicole called me and said the pictures had been released everywhere" Vanessa cried.

"Oh honey" Gina said as she wrapped her arms around her daughter's body.

"Everyone is going to hate me. I will probably get fired" Vanessa cried.

"Van, listen to me. Everyone that knows you is not going to hate you. Yes, it was a big mistake but you can't change anything. Have you talked to Zac about it?" Gina asked.

"I haven't heard from him since this morning. I don't think he has seen them. I ruined my career and his" Vanessa said.

"Vanessa, we need to set up a meeting with Nicole and everyone and decide how we are going to handle this" Gina said.

"Okay" Vanessa said.

Vanessa's phone started playing the ringtone that she had used for Zac's number.

"Are you going to answer the phone?" Gina asked.

Vanessa shook her head. Gina walked over to the phone and looked at the caller ID.

"It's Zac" Gina said.

"You talk to him and explain what's going on. God, I can't even tell my boyfriend what is happening" Vanessa said.

"Alright" Gina said.

Gina picked up the phone.

"Hello?" Gina answered.

"Gina? I was looking for Vanessa. Is she around? I just got a call from my publicist and he told me about naked pictures that Van took or something. Is everything okay?" Zac asked.

"Hi Zac. Van doesn't want to talk to anyone right now. Everything is not okay. I don't think this problem is something that I am allowed to explain to you" Gina said.

"Is she okay?" Zac asked.

Gina walked into another room and sighed.

"Zac, she's hurting. She doesn't know what is going to happen. Van thinks she ruined both of your careers" Gina said.

"She isn't going to ruin anyone's career. I feel horrible not being home while she is going through this. Can I talk to her?" Zac asked.

Gina walked back into the living room and looked at her hurting daughter.

"Honey, Zac wants to talk to you" Gina said.

"I don't want to talk to anyone" Vanessa said.

Gina put her ear to the phone again.

"Zac, she said that she doesn't want to talk to anyone right now. Everything is just a mess right now" Gina said.

"I want to come home but I can't break my contract. Can you tell her that I love her and that I am going to help her through this?" Zac asked.

"I will tell her" Gina said.

"Thank you" Zac said.

Zac and Gina hung up the phone. Gina then sat next to her daughter once again and wrapped her arms around her.

"Why did I do something so stupid?" Vanessa asked herself.

"Baby, I can't answer that. I am going to bring you home" Gina said.

"Does daddy know?" Vanessa asked quietly.

Vanessa's father, Greg, was very protective over his two daughters. He didn't even want Zac and Vanessa to date but Gina forced him to let her. Gina knew that Greg was not going to be happy but she knew that the situation had to be discussed with him. Even if he gets angry about it.

"No, were are going to tell him when we get home" Gina said.

Vanessa nodded as tears ran down her cheeks. Gina helped Vanessa get off the couch. The women then left the house and saw the paparazzi that was lined up in front of Vanessa's home. Gina drove down the driveway and yelled out of the window.

"Can't you people leave her alone?! Get out of here" Gina said.

Gina drove away and occasionally looked over at Vanessa. Once Gina got onto her street, she sighed. Gina then drove into the driveway and parked her car. The two women got out of the car and walked into the house.

"Greg?" Gina called.

Greg appeared at the front door and his face softened as he looked at his upset daughter.

"Van, what's wrong?" Greg asked his daughter.

"The three of us need to talk" Gina said.

Greg led Vanessa into the living room. The three adults sat down. Greg looked at his wife and then down at his daughter.

"What's going on?" Greg asked.

"Vanessa, can you tell your father what happened?" Gina asked.

"You need to promise me you won't get angry" Vanessa said quietly.

"Honey, I can't promise that but you need to tell me what's going on" Greg said.

"A couple years ago when I was going out with Michael, he asked me to send him some naked pictures of myself. So I did and as of this morning, they are all over the internet and in every magazine" Vanessa explained to her father.

Greg grit his teeth angrily. He rubbed his daughter's back soothingly.

"Vanessa, I am disappointed in you. Yes, you were young but that kind of thing is not something you should do" Greg said.

Vanessa cried in her father's arms. Greg's face softened and knew that Vanessa was truly hurting.

"Honey, maybe you should go upstairs and take a nap? It may help you feel a little better" Gina said.

Vanessa nodded slowly. She got off the couch and picked up her phone and walked upstairs to her childhood bedroom. Vanessa got under the covers and fell asleep, wishing this whole situation would just disappear. An hour later, Vanessa's phone rang. She opened her eyes slowly and looked at the caller ID. Zac's name appeared on the phone. Vanessa sighed and answered the call.

"Hello?" Vanessa answered quietly.

"Oh baby, thank god you picked up. Are you okay?" Zac asked worriedly.

Vanessa shook her head but then realized her boyfriend couldn't see her.

"No, are you okay?" Vanessa asked.

"No, I feel horrible Van. I am in a different country and this happens. How are you doing baby? Talk to me" Zac said.

"I ruined my career and yours. I probably will not get hired or signed to do anything because of this" Vanessa cried.

"Honey, you did not ruin my career. Even if you did, it wouldn't matter to me. What matters to me is that you are okay. I love you" Zac said.

"I love you too" Vanessa said.

"I want to be at home with you. But, I can't break my contract. In three weeks when I get home, you are the one and only person that I want to see. You are going to get through this and I am going to help you. Do you mind if I call my parents and tell them what's going on? I am sure mom is going to want to see you" Zac said.

"I feel embarrassed. Your parents are going to hate me" Vanessa said.

"Sweetheart, they love you to death. They could never hate you. So should I call my parents?" Zac asked.

"What if they don't want to see me?" Vanessa asked.

"Baby, they are going to want to see you and talk to you. Mom for sure is going to want to come down and see how you are doing. Don't worry okay? Let me take care of my parents" Zac said.

"Okay" Vanessa said softly.

"I am going to call my parents but I will talk to you later okay? I love you Van" Zac said.

"I love you too" Vanessa said.

The couple hung up and Vanessa snuggled into her bed sheets. The world felt like it was spinning and wouldn't stop. Vanessa finally gave into the sleep that was trying to overtake her. She hoped this nightmare would come to an end soon.
