Vanessa went through a mental list of people's houses she could go to.
Her best friend Ashley Tisdale was in New York City with her boyfriend. Vanessa's parents wre in Miami, while her sister Stella was staying at a friend's house while they were gone.
As the list of people went on, she could think of no one whose place she could go to. Then it came to her: Zac.
"Of course, the choice couldn't have been more obvious," thought Vanessa.
Even if Zac wasn't home, which Vanessa was really hoping he was, she had the spare key to his apartment.
Vanessa started to drive towards her boyfriend's house. As she drove she listened to the song "I'm Yours" by Jason Mraz (my favorite song :)). This song always calmed her, something she needed at the moment.
She sang her favorite part:
I guess what i be saying is there ain't no better reason
To rid yourself and just go with the seasons
It's what we aim to do, our name is our virtue
As Vanessa was about twenty-five minutes from Zac's place, she thought she'd better call him to let him know she was coming. She tried, but it went to his voicemail, so she hung up.
When Vanessa pulled into the parking lot, she noticed Zac's car parked in his usual spot. This sparked something inside her as she parked her own car and ran to the door, more excited than she'd been in a while.
Before she knocked on the door, Vanessa noticed she still had her gym sweats on, making her feel nasty. Real fast, she put on deoderant and put on some lip gloss. Then she knocked.
No one answered. After a few minutes, she tried knocking again. Still, no answer.
"Maybe he's taking a shower or just didn't hear me, I should just let myself in", Vanessa's mind told her.
She fished for her key, unlocked the door and let herself in. What she didn't realize was that she left the door cracked open by accident.
His place didn't look any different than the last time Vanessa had visited, except messier, of course.
Vanessa looked all over the apartment for Zac, in the kitchen, in the bathroom, the bedroom, and in the living room, but no sign of him. She went back, a few feet away from the front door.
"He must be with Michelle, she must've picked him up and they must've went out to dinner," thought Vanessa, her imagination running wild.
As she was thinking this, she couldn't take it anymore, Vanessa started having a breakdown. She started crying, unable to control herself. She thought of things that would make her feel better, sitting on the couch and maybe watching some TV, or going to sleep, or even taking a nice warm shower, but Vanessa didn't want any of these things, the only thing she wanted was Zac.
As Vanessa continued to stand there sobbing, desperate for her boyfriend and desperate for the creepy guy to leave her alone, she noticed the door opening behind her.
"Crap! I forgot to shut and lock the door," thought Nessa, "what if the stalker followed me here?"
As she kept crying, she turned around to see who it was.
Sorry, I know this chapter was kind of short :( !
