Chapter 2: At the Reunion and the Announcement

"B, I'm really proud of you! I can't believe that you're meeting up with your friends." Austin said on the line as my driver drove going to the place where the event was

"Really? You are? So should I be happy that my wonderful boyfriend is not jealous that I might see my ex-boyfriend?" I asked him jokingly on the line

"Errr… I am. But I trust you." Austin said and I instantly smiled "And, there's also a possibility that he won't come so really, no hassle." He added and I chuckle

"Okay b, thank you for being a great boyfriend for the whole time we've been together. Be a good boy, I love and miss you!" I said as my goodbye

"Of course I will. You should be the good girl now." He said then chuckled "I love and miss you too." He said the hung up

I sighed and smiled. Austin has been the perfect boyfriend for the whole time we've been together. I couldn't lose him, and if I would, it wouldn't be that easy for me anymore.

"It's nice to see that you're happy, Ms. Vanessa." Mr. Ronaldo said and I giggled "It's been a long time since I see your real smile."

"What are you talking about, Mr. Ronaldo? I've always had my real smile plastered on my face!" I told him and he just sighed

"That's what you think, Ms." Mr. Ronaldo said then he chuckled "Why the last time I saw your real smile was way back when I used to drive for you and Sir. Zac."

"That's a long time ago, Mr. Ronaldo. It's been what? 5 years already, right? He's been dating tons of girls so really, I think that break-up was really for the best." I said and he just shook his head

"Well, Ms., we're here. I hope you have fun and find real happiness." Mr. Ronaldo said as I got off and 'thank'ed him

I walked going through the crowd and got greeted by the cast of HSM. And I literally mean the whole cast. Including the crew… . I looked for the table of where my co-stars were and found them. "Hey guys!" I greeted them and they all looked at me and we hugged each other – group hug.

"Oh my Gosh, V! You're here… I can't believe it!" Ashley exclaimed at which I just laughed at

"Hey! Isn't it that I told I am?" I told her then we all laughed "It's so good to see you guys again. It's been years!"

"Yeah! We thought you wouldn't come…" Olesya suddenly said

"Oh really? I must've proved you wrong then." I told her with a sweet smile

"Yeah… I mean, since Zac is coming." Corbin said and my eyebrows raised "He's coming?"

"Apparently, he is. "Wouldn't miss it for the world" are the words he used in fact." Lucas told me in a tired smile

"Okay…" I said not knowing what else to say, "Let's just sit down and catch up! I really missed you guys…" I said in my sweetest voice

"Couldn't have said it better myself." A familiar voice suddenly said behind me then the next thing I know, another group hug was made – only I was quick enough to get out of their way and look for a vacant seat.

After their group hug, they all sat down and I was sipping juice now. Something I do to get myself to calm the hell down whenever I was on the very edge of exploding in some sort of way. "Hello, Vanessa." Zac greeted me with his oh-so-famous smile as he sat down

"Hello to you too, Zac." I told him too professionally, "Glad to see you can drop by. Where's your current girlfriend? I've been hearing that you 2 are going strong." I said with my sweetest fake smile that I know everyone always buy

He chuckled, "Oh, Sami? Well, I was insisting her to come with me but you know, she's a model. She has modeling to do…" He replied and I just raised my eyebrows with a smirk "That's… good for her career." I said trying to look for the nicest reply

"How about Austin? Where's your boy at?" He asks as he took a quick sip of his juice

"Oh, he's just travelling around the world. It's his hobby… he asked me to come with him but I figured that we need to build trust in each other to grow stronger so I didn't and gladly, he wasn't really upset about the thought." I replied with a real smile this time, remembering the time he asked me then the surprised look on his face when I turned his offer down

"But you 2 go travelling together, right?" Chris asked me "I mean, I read a news about you 2 going somewhere together. Really didn't bother reading more, just the headline." He added and I nodded, "Yes, we do. But they are just times when I am craving for his attention. I mean, I'm glad that we're not yet apart from all the time he spends away from me." I replied to Chris's question

"Well, I'm just glad that after all this time, we grew into becoming happier people." Monique said and we all nodded our head, agreeing.

"We've been through a lot guys, I'm just glad that we could make it here. To have time with our 2nd family." Ryne said and we all smiled

"Okay, enough drama!" Kaycee exclaimed and we all ended up chuckling or giggling "What do you think the announcement's going to be?"

"If Kenny will announce about another HSM movie, you guys will give me 5 dollars each. Deal?" Corbin asked with his eyebrows raised as if daring us so we all said, "Deal."

Sorry if I took a long time in updating, guys. I'm really busy and sorry again! Promise, I'll try to update more often. :D :D :D
