Chap 3 Review Replies

chris tea xx: Blondie, sorry I can't give you the next chapter… Well I can give you a paragraph of the next chapter… Well, since I'm mean I have to tell you something; I done the story until well, I decided to make it short to chapter 5 so there would be a little Trevor and Maddie in the end; anyway… sneak peak to next chapter
Breaking apart, quickly; gasping for air, Ashley gulped the lump on her throat, leaning to the wall as she tried to bring the air to fill her lungs. In addition, she was never good at making up for excuses. No one moved a muscle, still in shock at the sight when Zac and Ashley busy searching for reasons inside their heads
that's all I'm giving… Haha, yup… I'm mean. Anyway I love you auntie, and that sneak peak is my love for you and you only! ILY! XDD

Stessa: LOL… I have done the next chapter. It's just a matter of time of when will I get back online, but since next chapter is the last chapter, sigh… Kinda get bumped with it since I got to make it short, but I don't feel like going, god mommy! XDD! I'm sure Zac would be a better best friend in the next chapter, and he would sure treat Miss. Tizz better. So I can promise you that! XD! I love you god mommy! XD

AshelyZac4life: LOL! Yeah, thanks for the review! It did cross my mind to make them have a few punches, but I just decided not to take to the extreme and stick to the humor! ILY! XDD!

xthe other lizx: Wow! You're a Zanessa? Well seriously that just made my day knowing a Zanessa like my story… Thank you so much for the review!! XDD

x J e l l y - B e a n x: Daddy! Gosh, where have you been!? Sorry, I just miss you! Your chick here is great, just missing you seriously! I thought you

were eaten by something! Gosh, where were you!? Yeshi-type? That's a new one! LOL, I have msn of course, I don't have yahoo, but anyway… When are you online at msn! I usually appeared busy, but of course you could just cut whatever I'm doing and talk to me!! I miss you!!! XDD! ILY!!!!! XD

Katie Loves Zashley: Of course Jashley is cute. Actually I did think of putting the story about Jared and Ashley at Hawaii at this story, but I just decided to cut it short because I don't feel like writing more, but I love making Zashley one-shots! Haha, now I just have to find the right song. Lol! XD! Gosh, yeah… If only I can write everything that would happen in their life. But Drama is conflict! XD! I love you Katie!!! XD

U.S. Princess: I saw the picture of Jashley in some forum I think, and a video at youtube called Jashley prove. Haha! Anyway, Zashley is just plain greatness, but I don't know… it just sort of died since early 2007; I think it's because Pop Star 'popped' the idea of Zanessa, when it was already there; and Zashley came up first right?? LOL! ILY Emily! XDD

x.sammii.x: Sammy, you have something for the last-name-game don't cha? Why instead of Cyclopes, call her by her last name. Or does her last name is the same with yours… Haha? XDD! Damn, Corbin's girlfriend. Gosh, he just got to tell, Mo is too old for him; but I don't care about age matters, like Zashley and Jashley; unlike Zanessa who probably just like matching ages, I don't get the point though. Lol! XD! I'll make Jas my shield when you throw me a rock! Haha! I L Y Sammii! XD

x duhz dorkface: LOL, I saw a video called Jashley prove. But I think Ashley's 22nd birthday just answered everything itself when she went to Hawaii with Jared. LOL! That's just plain cute! XD! LOL, thanks for reviewing! XDD! ILY

Noukka: Haha, yeah… POTC rawks, the first of course was the greatest. Jack with the crabs was funny, and the marriage was the greatest! I love that scene and the scene after the credits, the one after 10 years later. God, 10 years was just too long! Haha, anyway here's the update! ILY! XDD

xamyxjx: Haha… more than attached?? Guess that's good but I have to end the story short because I don't feel like continuing more! But here's the chapter, ENJOY! I L Y! XD

Lovinkk Mitchel Musso: Oh my god! I haven't heard from you lately! Where have you gone!! Just COME BACK! I miss you!!! Gosh! Haha, silly naïve Zac, you're smart. Real smart, more than Einstein! XDD! Don't think I'm mocking you having the same mess of a hair like him; I mean you're brain!! LOL! Yup, Zac got jealous since Jashley just so damn great! XD! Haha, left with questions with amazing skills to write? What was that supposed to mean? Don't get me wrong, I love you complimenting me like that! I love you! XDD

Zashleyfan4eva: Darned you are just the same as me. Well, I don't have a problem Zac dating Vanessa; it's just seriously boring hearing about the same couple over and over again when I just already heard it. That's why I love Jashley; since they never got too much publicity and they most stayed under the spotlight, so I love those; and Lucas and Drew's girlfriends stayed under the spotlight too. Just got boring to hear Zanessa all the time. ILY!!! XDD

Forbiddenfiction: lol… that would just stayed in the 'secret spot' well not exactly secret, but it just stayed in my head; so for me to know and you to guess. He just wanted to punch him; you can't know. LOL! XDD! He can't live Ashley because he's in love with her; just too blind to see. That's love! Haha, anyway… Here's the update! I LOVE YOU! XDD

stormburst: Sweets, I love Jennifer, but sometimes she sounded like a crazy Zashley fan girls; like you and me; except we love Jashley too! Lol! XD! Yup, yes… Corbin, who is your girlfriend!?! Anyway, everything would just be clear for them and happily ever after at the next chapter!! ILY! XDD!

marri: That's what they called me; The Drama Queen. Drama meant conflict! LOL, anyway… Here's the update! I hope you'll love this chapter too!! Anyway, I love you Marri!! XDD!

I miss your smile but I miss mine, even more

-

She took a glance back from the taxi. A tear slipped from her eyes as she wiped it quickly. Unfortunately the taxi driver didn't miss that

"Are you okay, Miss?" he asked with concern, glancing to her by the mirror every now and then

She shook her head silently as fresh tears flew freely when she glanced back at the familiar car. She let out a sob. She put her hand over her eyes due that her tears kept flowing every now and then while her mind kept focusing on that guy

-

I miss your smile

Ashley sniffled once again as she awfully tried to get that guy out from her head. She rolled to the other side of her bed and wiped away her remaining tears from her face. Inhaling a deep breath to fill her lungs, she got up from her bed, trying to compose herself and took her cell phone to call a certain someone she can only trust now

"Hey" she smiled as she heard his sound

"Am I interrupting something? I kinda need someone to talk to" she asked due to the loud noises from the other line

"No, of course not… I'm just playing some video games. What's wrong?" he raised his eyebrows, knowing obviously she couldn't see it

"Nothing… Just some problems as usual…" she looked down to her feet, remembering earlier today

"With Zac… I heard" she felt glad as now she didn't have to tell him the whole thing and having risks of breaking down again, "Listen, to make you feel better, how about you come here and we'll play some games and talk about the problems. Just the two of us" she smiled about that statement, she was really lucky to be going out with a guy as great as Jared Murillo

"I'm going there soon" she informed with a giddy smile across her face. Just about the guy about to hang up, she prevented him, "Oh!" she exclaimed, "Thanks Jared" she said truthfully

"Anything for you" he replied, and with that they both hung up

Once she finished squealing and jumping on her bed, she ran to her closet and took out her Chanel bag. Shoving all the things she needed into there, she could see Blondie keep running to follow her everywhere, but she was far to content to complain. Zipping up her bag, she could hear her sister pounding her door on the other side

"Ashley! You dearest Zac is summoning you to get out here to pick his phone call!" Jennifer informed, while kept knocking as she began to get really impatient to get her precious little blonde sister out from her room

"Tell him to go to hell…" she yelled, however she was way still too happy to made her voice sounded icy—after all, she got her role Sharpay not just because of fluke

"Okay…" her sister raised her eyebrows, she knew something was wrong between the two best friends earlier in the morning, but she really didn't get what was happening now, "Are you sure?" she still didn't believe it

"Yes!" she quickly answered with a yell

"Okay" she shrugged it off, "She said she misses you, Zac" Jennifer lied but eventually he wouldn't buy that, "No, she didn't tell you to go to hell!" how did he know that!? "Yes, I'll tell her that. Your welcome, Zac" she smiled, "Seriously Zac, she said she missed you too" she tried to lie again, hearing her sister singing something softly from inside of her room, "Bye"

As she heard her sister footsteps going further from her room, she heard her sidekick went off. She looked the id flashed on it, but it wasn't the sandy haired guy—jerk, like she was expecting despite the fact she had rejected to talk to him a few seconds ago. It was the black haired, Taylor McKessie, better known as Monique Coleman, one of her co-stars and her closest friend

"Hey, Mo-Mo" she greeted happily

"I heard about what happened between you and Zac, and I'm here if you want to cry or anything…" but before she could continue, she just catched the content filled in her voice, "Are you actually giddy about it?" Monique always knew her friends by the heart

"No, at least not by it, I have Jared. I'm going to his place tonight" she explained, glancing on her watch to see that it was almost eight

"Well… I think you got it all covered. Have fun Ash!" she exclaimed, "And don't think about Zac" with that warning, she hung up

Ashley flipped her sidekick slowly and made her way out of her room as thoughts of the guy, name had been called by Monique a few minutes ago, rummaged into her head once again. This is why she hated so much when people called his name—it's funny how every time someone said his name; she would end up in a deep thinking of him. Somehow the name made its way into her head and then made her thinking about him all over again

"Mom, Dad, Jen, I'm going to Jared's!" before she could get anyone's approval she quickly head up for the door and couldn't wait to finally get out from the house. But before she could succeed, her sister once again tried another attempt to get her spilling about what was wrong between her and Zac, but this was not really the best time

"Ashley! Why didn't you take Zac's call?" Jennifer sounded really irritated about that

Ashley gave a 'what's that have to do with you' look, she really didn't get why her sister always freaked out when there was something wrong about her or Zac. Sure she always teased them about being a couple and those kinds of things, just like those trashy gossip tabloids or teen magazines. She did always encouraged them to be together, but they denied, just like they always did to the public

"Look, if that cost you a problem with him, I'm not helping you through it!" she threatened. Now, Jennifer started to sound really freaky, she seemed like a crazy 'Zashley' fan.

"I already have a problem with him!" she opened the door, "And I'm not sure if anyone can help me get through this, except Jared right now!" she started to get disgruntled, peevish and everything else that meant upset; about the people that care about her and Zac's relationship so much. It was their friendship that crashed, but then why everyone around them were the ones that was sinking down about it. They both were supposed to be the ones that felt really bad about it—well, Zac did, but Ashley chose not to.

With that, she closed the door and off to Jared's house

-

"She doesn't miss me, thanks for trying Jennifer" with that, he finally hung up the phone. Great, what was he going to do now?

Suddenly it clicked, Vanessa was her best friend, but when it was impossible that she would come to her when the problem was about him and her, so that left Monique as a shoulder to cry on for Ashley. Grinning to himself as somehow he found how much of an 'Einstein' he was, he quickly dialed the number that was already of course familiar in his head

"Hello? Mo-Mo, are you with Ashley now?" he asked

"Nope" she answered plainly

"Why isn't she talking to me?" he asked

"Probably because you want her to die" Monique answered, "and because she's far to contented with Jared"

"Jared?" he asked once again

"Damnit, I'm not supposed to tell you!" Zac could hear that she slapped her forehead

"Where is she?" he demanded an answer from Monique, even he knew he wasn't going to get it

"I'm not going to tell" she answered obviously, even it was clear that he could find Ashley easily whenever she was with Jared

"Fine, I'll find out myself" he declared

"No, Zac—"but the line was already dead…

Pacing the room back and forth, he clutched the phone in his hand even tighter. He knew he must let her calm down for a bit, let her settle down in the condition. However, knowing that she was witch Jared filled him in… worry, anger, envy… jealousy. As soon as the word clicked in his head, he didn't think twice anymore; dialing the number, he waited in impatience for him to pick up the phone; and he didn't want Ashley to be the one that was picking the phone of his house

"Where's Ashley!?" he quickly asked once he picked it up

"Shessh… Hey to you too" he answered

"Murillo, tell me where she is right now!" he demanded an answer, somehow he had developed some kind of hatred for Jared since this afternoon, when he found out Ashley hand in hand with him in spite of that everyone told him that she was with Miley

"What's your problem, Zac? You've been moody since this afternoon, I thought you'll be fine if you took her home" he still didn't give him the answer he wanted, it was like he was making him boiling—when he was actually not, "But that just made things worst"

"Jared, just tell me what I need to know… NOW!" he tried to be calm, but stern is still filling every word he uttered

"She's coming to my house… that's all" he said, hoping by that answer, he wouldn't get mad

"Tell her I'm going there right now" he told him

"Zac… I don't think that's a real…" before he could even explain to him to avert, the line was again… dead

but I miss mine

Ashley took and threw another popcorn from its bowl to his sight, laughing along as he didn't successfully capture it in his mouth and slipped to the couch; joining the other popcorn he had missed since the last 5 minutes—in that particular amount of time, they had lost interest to the movie the had watched. Jared kept debating if he was going to tell her about that person that was coming or not—but they were having such a good time, he didn't want to ruin it, but it's better until he finally came in and ruin it anyway.

"Ashley… listen" he fixed himself in the seat; she could see her giving a confused look, "Um… I need to tell you something"

"What's wrong?" she put a popcorn to her mouth

Suddenly their head turned towards the door, as the doorbell rang. It didn't need them to get up and get it because the door was unlock, and Jared was doing that deliberately; after all he knew about Zac coming in right that second

"Ashley, I need to talk to you" he explained while panting

"Um… That's what I needed to tell" he pointed his index finger to Zac

Suddenly another bunch of people broke in again; joining Zac as they pant. Why was everyone rushing at ten in the middle of the night? Monique, Lucas and Corbin breathing hardly as they stood behind Zac, earning looks from the three of them

"Zac… we need to talk to you" explained Monique while trying hard to keep her breathing steady

"Outside"

-

"What are you doing here?" Zac shouted once they were outside

"And what are you doing here?" Lucas started to yell, no one knew why he did that

"What does it look like I'm doing? I'm here for her!" he yelled back, "What are you three doing here!?" he asked back

"What do you think? Leaving you alone with them? Just like that, huh? What? You're just going to be the third wheel right over there while they both snuggling together all night there? Don't you think that's a little… gee, I don't know… AWKWARD?" Corbin replied, explaining and trying to open his eyes how stupid that he was doing this—hey, he's not as stupid as Chad

"Wait… what!? Ashley and Jared aren't even together!" he explained from what he knew

"Well, you're wrong about that! They gotten together when you're together with Vanessa in Hawaii" Monique cut in the conversation

"What did you just said!?"

-

"He said he'll come here and you didn't tell me?" Ashley started to pace around the room, obviously, by this point their night had been ruined already by Zac and their friends' presence—even it was only outside the house

"Ashley… I didn't know how to tell you!" Jared tried calming her, putting his hands on her shoulder to keep her still in the room

"How can you not tell me?! I mean I could've stayed home!" she broke free from his grip and started pacing back and forth around the starboard of the neat room

Zac and the rest of the others came back to the room and looked to both of them. Monique's head was everywhere but on Ashley—trying to avoid her gaze, as well as the other two; while Zac kept his eyes on Ashley—something that made her feel guilty inside by just the look in his eyes

"I need to talk to you" he yanked her arm, dragging her outside to the cold of the night—somehow the rust of the cold wind wasn't as cold as what's inside his crystal blue eyes
