Disclaimer: I don't own Zac

Amanda exscused herself from the table halfway through her third glass of cola. When she got nervous she seemed to drink alot of fluids which made her want to pee alot. As she stood up she felt Jesse grab on to her hand "are you okay?" he asked with a concered look on his face and it was no wonder because when Amanda felt uncomfortable she could clearly show it.

Amanda smiled and nodded "yeah just running to the bathroom" she said before walking away from his grip. She placed her hand on her forhead shielding her eyes from the disco ball and the flashing of cameras as photographers took pictures of drunken celebrities. It didn't take her long to find the bathroom since there was a big obnoxious neon sign saying RESTROOMS over the door, apparently drunk people have a harder time reading then seeing by the all caps sign.

She walked in to the surprisingly clean restroom and took a long look at herself in the mirror. She just wanted to leave and she was close to asking Jesse to take her home. She looked through her purse for her make-up. The least she could do was look good in this crisis situation.

A spritz of perfum and five minutes later Amanda was ready to finally leave the bathroom. She could hear the walls vibrating as the music grew louder almost to the point that the mirror looked like it was going to shake right off it's placement on the wall. She grabbed the door handle struggling as the door's pull outweighed her 50 to none, she was a skinny girl and whoever put this door on really sucked at screwing in the bolts.

Zac walked down the hall feeling like he was about to explode and it wasn't until he bumped in to Amanda that he slowed his roll. "sorry" he heard her say as she tried to walk by. It was obvious she was making no effort to talk but he wasn't taking no for an answer.

"wait" she heard him say before she felt his pull on her arm. She spun around almost knocking in to him as she did so. The music had slowed down so it was easier to hear which made this all the more awkward because at least with loud music she could of made the effort to say she couldn't hear a word he was saying.

Before he spoke again she looked him up and down. He looked incredibly handsome and the smell of his cologne acted like some sort Amanda attractor because she couldn't resist it but she had to keep control.

"I still feel like you haven't fully forgave me" he started now dropping her hand. Amanda really did forgive Zac for what he said she was just too scared to say it because that was an open invitation for her to forget about Jesse and go out with Zac so being mad at him even though she wasn't made sense. The more she hated him the less she would talk to him until their whole relationship was dropped for good.

Now this might not make sense to you but it was crystal clear in her head.

"you don't need to apologize, really...I forgive you" she said reajusting her purse on her shoulder.
"then why are you acting this way" Amanda knew exactly what he meant but she acted confused
"what do you mean?"

Zac sighed and stepped closer to the wall letting a woman pass to get to the bathroom "I mean what happened between us, we had something going"

"we had nothing going Zac, I had Jesse going" Okay now she really really felt uncomfortable, forget all those other times this one took the cake.

Zac felt stupid then, like the feelings he had were the total opposite then from what she felt. "wow I feel like an idiot" was all he could say, that was all he could think of.

Amanda shook her head "I'm sorry if I ever gave off the impression that there..." she couldn't finsh though she was cut off by him "say anymore I'm going to feel just more like an idiot" he said cracking a smile. He was being a nice guy then, kind of kicking him self in the butt even though Amanda should be doing the butt kicking."I'm going to get back to the table" Amanda said feeling awful and he could tell just by the way she said it "well then I'll see ya in a few" he said watching her backing up towards the music. She kind of waved good bye feeling like an awkward idiot as she turned around leaving him in the hall.

She sat at the table for the rest of the night staring at her now ice melted glass of cola the only difference between this and before she left for the bathroom was the fact that Zac never came back.
