Chapter Ten: Not Over YetVanessa woke up to her hand vibrating. She looked down at the phone and it read '3 new messages.'
"Damn, who called me three times, especially this early?" Vanessa asked herself. She decided to check them now.
"You have three new messages."
"First new message."
"Nessa, hey sweetie, it's mom. I want to hear from you. Call me right when you get this. I love you. Always and Forever."
"Second new message"
"Sis! How are you? Of course you know who this is, the one and only Stella! I love you! Call me when you get up! Tell Zac and Ashley I said hey!"
"Third new message"
"Vanessa, I love you. If anything happens I want you to stay out in Utah with Zac, okay. Don't come back here. You have my credit card. Use it. Please just lis..." the voice of Vanessa's mom cut off. "HELP" was the last word Vanessa could make out.
"Zac..."Vanessa had tears coming down her face. She was trying to shake Zac awake.
"Uhh... five more minutes Nessa" he said. Vanessa kept sobbing. Zac heard her and shot up.
"Nessa baby, what's wrong?" Zac asked pulling her between his legs.
"My Mom, Stella." was all Vanessa could say. Zac could only think to call Vanessa's home phone.
"Hello. Salinas Police Department" the voice said
"Oh, I'm sorry, I was looking for Gina Hudgens, I must have the wrong number" Zac said
"Who are you?" the officer asked
"I'm Vanessa Hudgens boyfriend. What's going on?" Zac asked
"Gina and Stella Hudgens have been killed. By her father." the officer answered. Zac just closed his cell. Zac looked down and saw Vanessa asleep in his arms. He laid her on the bed and went to wake Ashley, Corbin, and Monique up, since it would take an hour to wake Lucas and Olesya up.
"Corbin wake up." Zac said nudging him with his foot. "Wake Ashley and Monique up and meet me in the hall." Zac told Corbin and walked out.
Three minutes later three tired co-stars walked out of the room.
"What's this all about? It is 3am." Corbin said
"You guys, Vanessa's mom and sister have been killed. By her dad." Zac told them
"Oh No." Monique said
"What are we going to do? Does Vanessa know?" Ashley asked
"Well I woke up to her crying and I think her mom called her on her cell phone and left a message." Zac said
"We have to tell her when she wakes up" Corbin said.
HSMHSMHSMHSMHSMHSMHSMHSMHSMCorbin, Zac, Ashley and Monique walked back into the room. Olesya and Lucas were still lying on the floor, asleep and Vanessa was sleeping on the bed. Ashley was carefully stepping over Lucas' sleeping form. Corbin bumped into her, causing her to step on Lucas' stomach. He jumped up and groaned. Corbin tipped over and landed on top of Olesya. She screamed in surprise and Vanessa woke up.
"What's going on?" Vanessa asked. The group was hesitant.
"Yeah, why did we get stepped on?" Lucas yawned.
"Why do I have the distinct feeling that something's wrong?" Olesya asked in confusion. The other four were quiet. Vanessa was worried now.
"Guys, please tell me what's wrong!" Vanessa begged. Zac stepped forward to speak.
"Ness, your dad escaped from prison." Zac began. Vanessa gasped. Corbin stepped forward this time.
"He went to Utah."
"He killed your mom and sister." Ashley whispered while holding back tears. Vanessa stared in disbelief and started shaking her head.
"No... No..." Vanessa whispered. "NO!" Vanessa shouted. Lucas and Olesya had the same shocked look on their faces.
"Vanessa, I'm so sorry." Lucas whispered. He hugged her and she sobbed into his shoulder. Zac walked forward and joined in the hug.
"Do you wanna go to the funeral?" Zac asked.
"Of course!" Vanessa exclaimed as she pulled away from Lucas and Zac.
"I'll go with you." Zac promised. "Do you want anyone else to come?" Zac asked her. She nodded.
"Ashley? Will you come?" Vanessa asked her blonde friend. All that Ashley could do was nod and hug Vanessa.
"I'll call the airlines." Ashley finally said. She walked out and headed to her room to call the airport. The rest of the group all apologized to Vanessa and told them that they loved her before leaving her with Zac.
"We're leaving in the morning." Ashley said as she peeked her head around the corner. Zac and Vanessa nodded as the blonde actress left.
"Zac, I'm scared." Vanessa whispered. She sat down on her bed and Zac sat next to her.
"Why?"
"I never imagined my mom and sister dead. I never imagined life without them." Vanessa cried.
"It's okay, Ness. I'll be here for you and so will Ashley. You don't have to do it alone, Nessey! I love you I won't let anything happen to you again." Zac promised her. She smiled and laid her head on his chest. He kissed the top of her head. "I love you so much, Vanessa." He whispered.
"I love you too." Vanessa replied. Zac lay back on the bed and Vanessa lay down next to him. They fell asleep and got ready for the next day when they would fly to California and go to the funeral.
