(Ohmigoodness yay, I am so glad people are enjoying this as a read! I love Zack, and I wanted to write something for him. This came to me and yeah, I'm gonna go with it as far as it takes me. It's good to be back and writing again I missed you guys!

In this chapter, one of Zara's hugest flaws comes out.. Her incredibly low self esteem. Trying to make her less of a Sue(hopefully she's not to you guys, becasue she's still a work in progress creation wise, even as I write this), so traits are coming to light slowly, chapter by chapter. I wanna take my time, enjoy writing this one. And I am so glad that you guys are enjoying reading it.


"No.. We're NOT watching Saturday Night Fever, yet again." AJ said as Zara pouted and then grumbled, put the movie back on the shelf of the video store they were in.

"So.. Eve's trying her best to get Zack back.. Starting to feel like this gimmick might not be enough for me to figure out a way to tell and show him how I feel.. And I'm seriously afraid that she'll wind up getting him back." Zara said quietly, as AJ and Kaitlyn sighed and then said "Trust me. We're not about to let that happen. You're our girl, Z."

"I know, guys, it's just.. After almost 4 years of being in love with the guy, figures that when I finally get the balls to tell him, my stupid bitch of a half sister would have to come back. I thought I had a clear shot for just one damn time in my life." Zara muttered, her hand raking through her long light brown hair as she sighed and leaned against the video store.

AJ sighed and then hugged Zara as she said "Trust me. Whatever it takes, this is finally going to come out, Z. If we have to lock the two of you in a closet."

Zara nodded and bit her lip as she checked her secondary twitter account, reading the message Zack sent back to her, smiling at the picture he sent, her finger lingering on the screen of the phone as she bit her lip. Sliding her phone shut, she shoved it back in her pocket, then decided to answer him later. When she was alone.

Maybe they'd stay up all night again tonight, exchanging direct messages like they had last night and one or two nights before.

She growled as she caught sight of Eve walking beside Zack, ( and to her, this was a bad sign, they'd probably wind up back together with her luck) down the sidewalk just outside of the video store and then kicked the wall lightly, grimacing as she stubbed her toe through the bad place in the toe of her bright green and hot pink plaid Converse high top.

"Wow.. I've never seen her kiss that much ass." AJ muttered as Kaitlyn nodded and laughing said "It's kinda pathetic, actually." as Zara ducked out of sight, because she saw Zack turning, walking back down the sidewalk to the video store.

Zack had been walking around, talking to some of the local fans for his web show True Story, when he happened to see Zara and AJ, Kaitlyn ducking into the video store. Smiling to himself, he turned on his camera phone and said "And broskis? Now you're all gonna see one of the reasons that Long Island Iced Z is getting over that scandalous hoeski Eve Torres.. Trading up, broskis.. It's never a bad thing. This girl's hot.. Just have to get her away from that sack of shit Thwagger, but that will happen, trust me." as he got 'into character' for the show while actually meaning every word he said before shutting the camera off for a few minutes to walk to the store.. But when he went to go back to the video store, Eve popped up out of nowhere and he said calmly, "And you want what, Hoeski?"

Eve batted her lashes and then said "Just to tell you that I talked to McMahon myself.. Told him why I lied about being your valet.. And guess what? He told me I could! Isn't that great?"

"No, not especially. Whatever, hoeski. Look, just trust me. Valeting is all you are to me. We're done. I'm not getting played for a chump again. And I'm moving on."

"Don't you miss us at all? Can't we just be friends?"

He studied her a moment and then said with a smirk, "Why? So you can make me look like an idiot over and over?"

"No, because I miss us.." Eve said softly, pretending to be hurt by what he said. She could tell by the look in his eyes, she was slowly working her way in.. But would she do it in time to get Zara out of the picture?

"Look. I've got better things to do." Zack said bluntly as he turned and Eve called out sweetly, "I'll see you later.. To discuss me walking you to the ring."

Zack shrugged as he made his way to the video store, hoping that Zara hadn't left the video store yet.

"Oh come on, seriously?" AJ called out, stifling a laugh as Zara glared and mouthed, "Jesus christ, AJ, I look like shit."

Kaitlyn dragged Zara out and then smirking, deposited her in front of Zack then suggested with a wink, "Didn't you want that movie? I just saw it over here."

"Umm, hi?" Zara managed as she smiled, waved a little, wishing she could sink down into the floor, because she was pretty damn sure that her Hello Kitty pajamas held no sexual enticement to Zack whatsoever, let alone made him think anything of her other than her being childish.

So naturally, she was shocked when he winked and said "There's that cute little valet. If I were Thwagger... Don't think I'd let you out of my sight." as he thought to himself 'you really have no idea, babe, just how serious I am when I say that.' while looking at her, smiling, his eyes roaming over her body slowly. It was obvious that she'd not even worried about getting all made up, which was something he found refreshing about her, actually.

Unlike Eve, other girls on the roster, Zara didn't spend hours in front of the mirror caking on layer after layer of makeup. Someone told him once that she didn't wear it because she thought it wouldn't help, that she was ugly enough.

"Oh really? Well if I were your valet, maybe I wouldn't wanna be out of your sight." Zara said back, wondering why he was doing this, acting like he had to for the gimmick now, when there were no cameras in sight.. Then she remembered his web show, Z! True Long Island Story. Which apparently, he was filming a new episode for, despite his having said it was done with.

That was it, he was just staying in character for his fanbase. It meant nothing. The slightly sad look played across her brown eyes as she bit her lip and then smiled for the camera phone he held in his hand. Zack saw the sad look, wondered what was wrong, but he kept quiet. Instead, he put his arm around her and held the camera phone up as he smirked and said "See this, Thwagger? When I'm done kicking your ass all over the ring, buddy.. I'm gonna take your girl too."

Zara blushed and then let him 'interview' her, nevermind the questions that he was asking were almost like he were indirectly hitting on her, really being a charmer, reminding her why she was head over feet in love with the guy and had been for some time now and when he finished, he said with a teasing grin, " So what do you think, broskis and broskettes? I think Zara should switch over to Long Island, leave Oklahoma in the dust."

"Actually, that's an appealing idea." Zara said as she 'slipped into character' since she was apparently now a guest on Z! True Long Island Story. In her Hello Kitty pajamas.

As Zack walked out, AJ and Kaitlyn looked at one another, then at Zara who glared and said "You could have let me keep hiding damn it.. Now I'm gonna be on youtube in Hello Kitty pajamas. As if I already didn't look babyish enough when compared to by big sis or Rosa, the other girls, even you guys." as she bit her lip.

"Hey.. Would you stop putting yourself down, chica? You are pretty too. Just as pretty as that bitch you call a sister."

" I am not."

AJ and Kaitlyn exchanged looks. They knew her well enough to know that she didn't really think highly of herself, though the reason why still remained a big mystery. Walking out of the video store, the three of them bumped into Eve and Rosa with Tamina.

Eve smirked at her younger sister and said dismissively, "Gross." as she added, "And I see you're still immature. Go play dollies with your little friends now, run along."

Zara glared, her temper surging as her hand went to her hip and she said through gritted teeth, "And I see you're still a bitch. Why don't you go whore around or something.. If memory serves, sis.. You're pretty damn good at it." as she tried to not let the insults and taunts her sister gave her get to her.

She'd gotten about halfway down the sidewalk when Eve called out casually, "Oh and Zara? I think we both know who will wind up with Zack. I wouldn't even bother trying if I were you, because guess what? I have a date with him later, to go over my being his valet.." and smirked as she watched Zara's shoulders sink, watched the other three girls keep on walking.

"Do you really have a meeting with him later?" Rosa asked as Eve giggled and rolling her eyes said "I didn't.. But I will when I show up at his hotel room looking sexy, now won't I? She doesn't have to know he's shooting me down.. As long as she sees me edging back in, she'll back down.. She's spineless like that."

"You really don't like her, do you?"

"Why should I? Her even being born messed up my life. So the way I see it, I'm entitled to cause her misery." Eve said casually, as she watched her younger half sister walking down the sidewalk, an amused smirk on her face.
