-At dinner-

"So Vanessa, not to be nosy or anything, but why'd you need a place to stay?" zac's mom asked

Vanessa looked over at zac, he nodded "well, um my dad was abusing me and my mom didn't really care or believe me…so I needed to get away"

Zac's mom looked at his dad "well vanessa you can stay here as long as you need to" she said (I noticed they don't have names so they're names will be, Mary and john!)

"Thanks" Vanessa said smiling

-After dinner-

"So do you want to watch a movie?" zac asked looking through all their DVD's

"Sure" Vanessa said sitting on the couch

Zac put a movie in and sat down next to Vanessa. A couple minutes later zac looked over at Vanessa and saw she was asleep. He smiled then got up and turned off the movie.

-Next morning-

"Zac…you need to get up!" his mom said shaking him "zac you're already late" she said walking off

Zac opened his eyes and looked at the clock; it read 8:20 AM.

"Crap" he said getting up "vanessa get up we're late for school" he said running up stairs to get dressed

Vanessa slowly got up then got her clothes and ran into the bathroom and got dressed.

-15 minutes later-

Zac and Vanessa were both ready. They grabbed their backpacks and ran out the door. Zac ran into the building with Vanessa following him.

Zac ran into class "zac, Vanessa, why are you late?" the teacher asked

"We over slept" Vanessa said walking to her desk then sitting down

"It better not happen again" the teacher said walking over to the chalkboard

10 minutes later the bell rang

"So you over slept huh?" nick said laughing

Vanessa glared at him and walked to her locker

"Well well well look who came back" jack said walking up to her

"Jack leave her alone" Ashley said

Zac stepped in front of Vanessa, "Back off Jack." he said with anger in his voice

"make me" jack said pushing zac

zac looked at vanessa who was looking down he turned back to jack and pushed him back harder.

Jack stood there for a second them lunged his fist at zac. it is zac in the lower jaw, zac soon punched back. everyone was gathered around and vanessa was yelling Zacs name. More punches were throw and more blood was in the picture. (not like alot alot)Nick and Jared grabbed Zac and pulled him away, he was struggling to get out of there grip. Jacks friends pull him back as well.

Zac whipped the blood off his lip, vanessa walked over to him.

"Zac.....are you ok?"

"yeah. im fine." he answered not even looking at her. he spit out some blood into the garbage.

"zac your not ok" vanessa said worried

"im fine!" he shouted walking off

vanessa looked at him for a second then turned to her friends

"Vanessa, just give him some time to cool down" nick said

vanessa nodded and walked to her next class

Zac's P.O.V

i have never been the type to be all happy happy when i get mad, when im mad i stay mad for awhile..........Vanessa......i love her, and i cant clam down my jackass attitudes. i have to contol them, its not fair to vanessa...

i walked into the bathroom and started cleaning off the blood.

after a couple minutes i walked into class and saw vanessa, selena, ashley, nick, and jared sitting by each other talking. i sighed and sat in the very front of the class.

i could feel pairs of eyes on me, but i just looked down at my pencil.

"mr. efron?" the teacher said. i looked up.

"what is the answer?" she asked. i looked on the board, it had something about Salem village and witchcraft.

"Zac please answer the question." the teacher said.

"i dont know, sorry." i said looking back at my pencil again. i dont know whats wrong with me today, after the fight i totally blanked out, too many things are going though my head.

the bell rang and i stood up and started walking out of the class. Nick beat me to my locker.

"Zac, whats going on?" he asked.

"i really dont know....im.....its almost like im crazy today.....to many things are in my head...."i rambled on and i think Nick noticed. i ran my hand though my hair.

"hey...just take a break or something, go home, you don'tsound good. i will explain to the coach ok?" he had always been a good friend

"yeah i think i will, but i have to talk to vanessa." i said.

"here's your chance." he said. i looked behind me and vanessa was walking towards me. nick walked off.

"hey." she said

"hi, i think im going to go home, do you have practice today?" i could tell she was still confused about what happened today.

"yeah," she said a little quiet "Zac... i think tonight im going to stay with Ashley, just so you can cool down or something..." i looked her in the eyes, she was hurt.

"you dont have too. today im just not my self, and..." i didnt know what else to say.

"its fine, zac...see you tomorrow" she said walking over to ashley

i sighed and slammed my locker shut. i grabbed my backpack off the ground and started walking home. today sucked.....big time.

I walked into my house, set my back pack down and walked into the living room. I saw my Dad reading the news paper.

"hey son. Wheres Vanessa?" he asked looking up from his newspaper

"Ashley's."

"is she comeing home?" he rose a eye brow.

"i hope." i ran my hands though my hair.

"what happened?" he asked looking back at his paper

"we kinda got in a fight" i said sitting down

"what do you mean kinda?" he asked

"dad i know you are going to ground me when i tell you....so here we go.....i got into a fight at school...then i was a jerk.....and i think you can put the rest together." i said fast.

He just looked and me. "i was wondering how you got those cuts on your lip and forehead"

i reached up and touched the cut on my fore head. "look im sorry." i said.

"you realize you could get kicked off the team!" he paused "do you want that to happen?"

"no" i whispered

"thats what i thought" he said "now go clean up"

i walked up stairs to my room and got into the shower. When i got out i checked my phone hoping Vanessa would have called or something, but just like i thought she didnt. i sighed as i put on a shirt. Just then my phone rang, i jumped and looked at the screen it was Nick. i picked up.

"hey." i said.

"hey, how you doing?"

"better...i guess" i said laying on my bed

"thats good. so have you heard from vanessa?" he asked

i paused "no..."

"well, just give her some time she'll come around"

"but what if she doesn't!" i yelled.

Nick was quiet.

"what if she....im a mess." i sighed, trying to hold tears back.

"dude...."he started

"this is all my fault! i really like her! and i had to go mess this up!" i felt a tear run down my cheek

"no you didn't you just got angry" he paused "dude, are you crying?" he asked

i wiped away my tears "no...of course not" i lied

"Zac, you didnt mess it up, you can fix it, i know you can." god he is a good friend.

"do i give her time or what?" i asked.

"now that is up to you."

"your no help, you know that right?" i asked

"i've never been in a serious relationship so i dont know" i could hear him chuckle

"thanks anyways. im gonna go, bye." i hung up. i looked at my phone and pressed 1, which is Vanessa on speed dial. i hesitated and finally pressed call. it rang and rang, i was getting nervous. Finally she answered.

"hello" she whispered

"hi" i said

"zac?" she questioned

"yeah"

"what do you want?" she sounded sad.

"look i know i messed up, can we please just talk about what happened?"

"why were you acting like that after the fight?" she asked.

"i just.......Vanessa...i really dont know, i was in a haze, i know you were trying to help and i was being a jerk." i rambled

"yea you were" she said

"vanessa..."

"listen i have to go" she said then hung up

i closed my phone and threw it on the floor. i looked at the clock it was 7. homework.

about 3 hours past and i went to bed.

-Next day-

Vanessa's P.O.V

"Vanessa! Vanessa.....get up! time to get read for school!" ashley said shaking me.

"ok ok im up im up!" i said walking over to my bag, pulled out my jeans and a shirt and went into the bathroom.

a couple minutes i was dressed. i decided not to do anything with my hair today so i just put it in a pony tail. i walked downstairs with ashley.

"ready!" Ashley asked.

"yeah...."i sighed.

"Hey look its going to be ok....just talk to him." she walked over to my and gave me a hug.

-at school-

I walked over to my locker, pulled out my math book and out it into my bag.i could feel someone was behind me. i turned around, it was Zac. His back pack was slung around his shoulder, he was wearing dark jeans and a dark red shirt. His eyes were a little puffy and blood shot.

"are you ok?" i asked a little scared

"oh just dandy" he said

"uh...ok" i said shutting my locker "im just gonna go over there by everyone else" i started to walk away. he grabbed my hand.

"can we talk?" he asked.

"sure" he let go of my hand and we started walking out side.

"Zac......you dont look good." i said, worried.

"i shouldnt...i got into a fight and maybe getting kicked off the team, oh and lost my girlfriend."

she looked away "you wont get kicked off the team..."

"what about my girlfriend?" he asked

"she doesnt know right now"

His face dropped.

"Vanessa...."

i looked down at my shoes, i didnt want to look at zac right now

"Vanessa!" i heard selena shout "we were looking for yo-" she noticed zac "and we will come back in a minute"

"Vanessa look at my please." he asked.

i looked up. "Zac, you know i dont want it do end right?"

"i dont either!" he said

"why are you making things so hard then?" i said getting up and walking back into the school.

"me making it hard!" i stopped. "in the last 12 hours i have completely messed up my life, and now im trying to make it better but apparently its not working!" he yelled. "I have pertty much lost my spot on the team and i have lost the most important thing that has happened to me. You." a tear fell down his cheek. He was crying....so was I.
