I Do

Zanessa Oneshot

He kneeled onto the ground and took a little box out, opening it to reveal a beautiful ring. She held her breath.

"Vanessa Anne Hudgens," he said, "I, Zac Efron, have loved you since the day we met, and now I my only desire is to spend the rest of my life with you. Will you marry me?"


His cousin had invited him - well more like forced him - to her party. Ashley had thought this could be a way to get his mind away from the girl that had run away from him without even answering his marriage proposal. But he just sat and thought about her all along. Everyone there knew his story, and kept looking at him with a mix of sympathy and pity. "You'll be fine, Zac." Or "I'm sorry," or "Keep strong" was all he heard. It had been painful for him, and everyone had seen that by the way he acted the last two days. His heart felt like it was shattered into many different little pieces that would never be the same again.

Then suddenly the music stopped.

"Um... hi everyone." Her voice came uncertain, but everyone recognized it. It was her.

"Vanessa?" Ashley whispered, surprised. Zac could feel his heart rate increase second by second.

Vanessa sighed, nervous. "Two days ago I made a mistake, the most terrible mistake of my life. Today I want to fix it."

She took a deep breath, and started.

"It's always been about me, myself, and I. I had always thought relationships were just a waste of time. I never wanted to be anybody's other half. I was happy stating out of love, It wouldn't last. That was the only way I knew before I met you."

Her eyes suddenly met Zac's, and neither of them could explain what they were feeling.

"You make me want to say 'I Do'. Yeah, 'I do'. Cause every time before it's been like maybe yes and maybe no. I can't live without it, but I could let it go. And I think, 'Oh, what did I get myself into?' But you make me want to say 'I Do.'"

Everyone was still plain shocked... speechless. Some shook their heads.

"Tell me, is it only me or do you feel the same? You know me well enough to know I'm not playing games! I promise you I won't ever turn around or let you down. You can trust I've never felt it the way I feel now. There's nothing we can't get through."

There was an agreeing silence.

"So we can say I Do, oh baby, I do. Cause every time before it's been like maybe yes, maybe no. I won't live without it, I won't let it go. What more can I get myself into. You want to make me say 'hey, meet my family, how's your family? Can WE be a family?' So then when we're eighty years old I will be sitting next to you, remembering when I said I do. Every time before it's been maybe yes, maybe no, and I won't live without it, won't let us go.

Oh look at what we got ourselves into. You make me want to say I do, yes I do, love you."


"Zac Efron, do you want to take Vanessa Anne Hudgens as your wife?"

"I do."

"And you, Vanessa, take Zac as your husband?"

"I don't know why it took me so long. I always knew what to do. I do."
