I'm still working on The A Twins right now but I just wanted to do this little oneshot. Like I said I gotta put Evaluating The Boyfriend on hold for now. I'm going to get to it eventually. So you'll see a lot of oneshots from me for a while. But I have another story I want to write and its probably going to be called the Falling For You its actually an interesting story in my opinion. I'm going to put it up after this oneshot Breaking my Promise. I know all the cast isn't exactly all the same age but in this story they are.

Disclaimer: I do not own the HSM cast.

Chapter One

Apologizing Time

VANESSA'S POV

Sometimes when I looked back I regretted breaking up with him. Who you ask? Zac. If you want to be technical Zac Efron. He was my sweetheart in high school till senior year when he changed. After junior year ended and school started back up again, he was a totally different person. I don't mean appearance wise but more like attitude and personality wise. He was still dating me and for some reason that year all the girls were lusting after him. Sometimes I guess you could say rumors broke us up.

But if you want to say rumors broke us up then let me tell you what rumors broke us up. The one in particular had to do with a girl I couldn't exactly call my friend. Ashley Tisdale. Now I had nothing against Ashley and her robotic so called 'friends'. She was actually a new girl who worked her way into popularity.

She didn't really bother me till I saw her checking out my man. I ignored it as much as I could because I knew I had one of the hottest boyfriends and everyone wanted him. But then one day I heard the rumor. Did you hear about Zashley? The word is he and Ashley are dating! Oh and they look so good together. At that time I ignored it. Zac wouldn't cheat on me. Or at least I didn't think so. As time went on the rumors progressed and I didn't hear anymore 'Zanessa'. Now it was all about 'Zashley'.

I didn't have the courage to talk to Zac about it. Really, he didn't seem very phased by it. I guess he like to be the center of attention. For Ashley, I just watched her closely. We never really talked but we were still worst enemies. But I guess I didn't watch her close enough.

When the second semester of senior year started Zac cheated on me.

And to make matters worse it was non other than my 'good' friend Ashley. Monique told me to just give him some time because he's confused and doesn't know what he wants. By the way he was making out with Ashley he knew what he wanted. It wasn't till then when I actually believed the rumors.

Monique helped me spread the word that me and Zac were over and I ended it. I didn't tell him before I started to spread it. When he had heard enough of it from practically the whole school he finally confronted me. I calmly explained to him that I wasn't going to take being cheated on. Since I really loved Zac he was hard for me to break up with him. I wanted to just give him another chance but that was all I could take.

Over the course of a couple of weeks Zac and I became enemies. I didn't want it to actually end this way but I guess it had to. He felt extreme hatred towards me after I broke up with him. It actually bothered me more than it probably bothered him. After 3 months of Zac and me fighting I had enough. I begged my mom to transfer me to a different school far away from Zac. Next week it would've been three years since I've seen him.

I admit I did miss him. It hurt me inside to know he cheated on me and never even bothered to apologize. Even if he did apologize I wouldn't take him back. I promised my self I wouldn't be hurt by him ever again. You can't apologize for cheating on someone and think it'll be okay. But I was now ready to forgive him. Since I hadn't seen him in three years who knows where he could be or what he was doing. For all I knew he could've been married to Ashley.

Maybe if I gave Zac another chance we could've worked things out and still would be together. But I know in my heart it was the right thing to break up with him. I also knew that if I did it would be a long and painful recovery to get over him. To this day I hadn't even gotten over him.

"Hey Vanessa are you still feeling down? It's been three years. Now's the best time to move on." Monique reassured. I pushed my drink to the side and sighed. Maybe she was right. It's been three years and its time to move on. Now's the best time.

"Don't look now. But the witch has returned." She warned. I gave her an amused face. Ashley couldn't be here. I turned my head to the side and saw her. Ashley. The girl who stole my boyfriend. To the side of her stood a guy with blonde hair not brunette. That was good because it meant she wasn't still with Zac. "Who is that?" I asked. Monique didn't answer my question and continued to stare at the couple. She wasn't staring at the couple their self but the little boy who was following Ashley.

"Don't tell me….that's her son." I managed to say. The boy had Ashleys' hair and the mans' hazel eyes. Ashley picked the little boy up and placed him on her lap. "Wow." Monique finally said something. Ashley whispered in the little boys' ear and he jumped out of her lap. She stood up and faced us. "Please don't walk over here." I whispered to Monique. Ashley began to walk towards us. "Vanessa, Oh my gosh. I haven't seen you in like 3 years." She greeted. "Hello to you to." I greeted back. I couldn't really say I was thrilled to talk to her.

She ignored Monique and continued to talk to me. "Vanessa look I want to apologize for what happened between you and Zac. I know some of it was my fault but I want you to know I never meant to hurt you. We just got caught up in the moment. " She apologized. I looked straight up at her and saw for forgiveness in her eyes. "It's okay. I'm over him anyway." I lied. Basically I wasn't really lying because I was partially over him. My mind was over him but my heart wasn't.

"I hope we can be friends in the future. Hey look, I'm having a little get together type reunion at my house tonight. I would really appreciate it if you came?" She asked. I had nothing better to do tonight anyway. "Okay. I'll bring Monique." I said bringing Monique into the conversation. "Sure you can bring her. Well I see you tonight. Bye!" She walked back to her son.

"Why did you just agree to go to a party that your worst enemy is hosting? We are still talking about the one who stole Zac from you." She asked trying to snap me back into reality. "I know its crazy but she's right. Maybe we can forget the past and start over." I answered. "And besides…you'll see Corbin…" I taunted. Monique had the hugest crush on Corbin since middle school and it turned into love during high school. She never bothered to tell him because she was sure he didn't feel the same way about her.

"Shut up! I'm over Corbin just as much as you're over Zac." She grouched. "Well the jokes on you because I'm still not over Zac so ha!" I joked. She slumped back in her chair and sighed.

LATER THAT NIGHT (ASHLEY'S HOUSE)

"Ashley!" I called as she opened the door. "It's great to see you again." She greeted as I walked through her door. Just as before she ignored Monique. "I think she has something against me." Monique whispered. I let out a stifled laugh. Monique was always judgmental.. "She does not. You just have to make yourself noticed." I explained.

We walked further into her house and I stopped dead in my track. "Could you warn me before you do that again?" She complained. "Why'd you stop anyway?" She asked. I stood there standing. I dragged Monique into the living room and sat down in the nearest chair. "Zac's here." I finally answered. Her eyes widened in surprise. "I know. Hopefully he won't talk to me." I hoped. But I wasn't the luckiest girl.

ZAC'S POV

"Corbin, why are we even here?" I asked shoving my hands into my front pockets. "Because Ashley asked us to. Don't you wanna see Vanessa again? And maybe I dunno apologize?" He suggested. "I bet you she isn't even gonna look at me again if she's even here." I answered looking into the crowd. There wasn't any sign of her.

"Why would I even apologize to her in the first place?" I asked out of nowhere. "Well maybe because, you cheated on her." He brought back memories. What happened between me and Ashley wasn't even supposed to go that far. But some how it did and Vanessa wasn't happy. "Man, I wouldn't even know what to say. I miss her though." I admitted. "There you go my friend. Take yourself out of denial. I know you still miss her. More importantly you still in love Vanessa." He explained. It was hard to hear but it was true.

VANESSA'S POV

"Hey come with me." Ashley whispered. I set my drink aside and followed her to the kitchen. "I want you to meet someone." She explained.

I continued to follow her and then she stopped. I looked straight ahead and saw him. My ex-boyfriend, Zac. "I'll be leaving now." Ashley excused herself. "Wait." I called but she ignored me. Zac looked down at the ground and began to fiddle with his thumbs. He always did that when he was nervous or wanted to tell me something important. I missed watching him.

" H-How have you been in three years?" I finally spoke up. He took a deep breath so he was going to tell me something big. "Okay." He answered. I nodded my head. "Look Vanessa, I'm sorry for cheating on you. I mean I was young and careless I didn't know what I wanted then. But now I've got my priorities straight and I missed you. I still love you Vanessa." He admitted. I was glad he figured out what he needed to do.

"I've missed you too and you've been all I could think about lately." I confessed. Now we were both on the same page. "I still love too, Zac." I added. He wrapped his arms around my waist and I nestled my head in his chest. "But Zac, you hurt me before and it really hurt me for a long time. You're going to have to rebuild my trust again. And right now I want us to stay friends and then work our way back to what we used to be." I explained as I pulled away from him.

At first I expected him not to agree and go all out on me but I as wrong. "Yeah, just rebuild our friendship then our relationship." He agreed. "Can I have your attention? Thank you. Can everyone please come to the living room?" Ashley was in the living room screaming on the top of her lungs. I intertwined my fingers with Zac's and he led me to the living room.

"Okay this party is boring me. So we need to spice it up. We are going to relive an old game. Truth or Dare anyone?" She asked. I was afraid but I didn't let my face show it. This wasn't going to be the best way to restart me and Zac's relationship.

TWELVE MINUTES LATER

We were all sitting in a circle and Zac was directly across me. "What happened between you and Zac?" Monique whispered. A smile crept upon my face. "We aren't going out again. Eventually we will but we decided to be friends for a little while then take it to the next level." I explained. "Mm-hm." She answered. "What?" I asked.

"Corbin go." Ashley encouraged. He walked from his place to the center of the room and began to spin the bottle. "Don't pick me." Monique kept repeating to herself. I didn't know why she was so worried because out of all the girls in the room why would it pick-me. I stared at the bottle.

"So Vanessa." He started. I smiled weakly. "Truth….or…Dare?" He asked slowly. I looked over at Zac who had no readable expression on his face. Oh boy.

What's Vanessa gonna pick? Truth or Dare?

I didn't wanna keep going because I actually make this to a little story. Its cute and I liked it. My readers reading the A Twins, no fear I am still writing that story. I just had this idea that popped into my head. REVIEW!
