Okay, so I've been reading on FF for about a month now, so I decided to try and write my own story. :) First story, so don't be too harsh on me. :)

This is based on the Bonnie Wright rumors. It really pissed me off. I was turned off by what she did. Absolutely disgusting. (If it were true.)

Ashley Tisdale is a good singer. She is also a talented actress. She is a sweet daughter and a helpful sister. But her favorite role in her life was being the most compassionate friend ever.

That was exactly why Ashley was sitting on Vanessa Hudgens' bed, handing her friend tissue every forty seconds while the petite brunette vented out her heartbreak.

"...looking at Edita's breasts while his arm was draped..."

"…laughed and flirted with Megan in the GQ Man of the Year party…"

"…let Ginny Weasley keep him up all night in a bar in the dark alleys of..."

"...asked me yesterday, 'Did you and Zac break up?' I wanted to grab his camera and..."

Ashley's heart was aching for her friend. She didn't deserve to feel like this. Ashley knew that Zac was coming back home from London in a few minutes, and she was sure that Vanessa's place would be his first stop.

"…just can't talk to him right now…"

Ashley admired Vanessa. She manages to go out everyday and face the paps showering her with questions about the Zac Rumors and act like she's okay with it and that it's nothing, even though it was killing her inside.

"Ash, I think I'm gonna do it." Vanessa's voice sounded unsure.

"Do what, honey?" she replied equally as unsure. But then it hit her. Ashley's eyes widened. Vanessa was about to do the one thing she thought wasn't possible.

"Van? Babe?" a voice was heard from downstairs.

"He's here," Ashley's voice was nervous.

Vanessa stared at herself in the mirror hanging on the wall. I can do this, she told herself.

"I'll send him up, alright?" she heard her friend ask. Vanessa gave a weak, small nod and sent Ashley down the stairs, only to come across Zac making his way up.

"Hey, Ash! I didn't know you were gonna be h—" Zac stopped talking and scrunched his eyebrows together in confusion when the blonde gave him a look of hurt and sadness. "What's up, Ash? Is everything okay?" he asked, concerned.

Ashley looked down at her shoes before talking. "Vanessa's waiting for you in her bedroom," she said firmly and continued on her way down the stairs.

Zac swore he saw Ashley get teary-eyed. She and Vanessa must have gotten into an argument, he thought as he walked up the stairs and made his way into Vanessa's room.

He opened the door and found Vanessa staring out of her window, something he knew she did when she was thinking really hard.

With a smile on his face he walked closer to her and hugged her from behind. "I missed you so much, baby. You have no idea how much I wanted to—" he stopped talking when he felt her break away from his grasp. His excited face turned into one of confusion and hurt. "Baby is there something wrong?"

Vanessa turned around to face him slowly, stared deep into his cerulean eyes and said to him the four words that made Zac's heart break.

"We need to talk."

He knew those four words were crucial in any relationship. He knew a woman only said those four words for two things. One, to tell her boyfriend/husband she was pregnant, and two, to break up with her boyfriend. He was positive she wasn't pregnant, hell, he wore a condom every time they would go at it even if she's on the pill. Which only left the second option. He felt a pang in his heart when he thought of the love of his life leaving him.

"About what?" he replied in a soft, husky voice.

"Bonnie." she stated simply. "I know what I've heard may not be the complete truth, but I just want to hear it from you."

Zac took her hand and they sat down together on Vanessa's bed. "Why don't you tell me what you've heard and I'll tell you my side afterwards?" he asked in a gentle voice. She nodded her head slowly. "Alright, go ahead and tell me what you know." he said as he moved a strand of her hair away from away from her face, so he could see her.

"In the tabloids it said that you two went into a club along the backstreets of London after the premiere, and you guys stayed out pretty late," Vanessa mustered up every ounce of courage she had to look up at him, finding him shaking her head as if to say 'no,' but she continued anyway. "and on the internet, it said she also got your phone from the back pocket of your trousers to put her number in. She put it back in your pocket after."

Zac lifted her chin up so she could look at him, "Baby, you know the tabloid twists the truth by, like, a thousand miles. I was just introduced to Bonnie at the after party and she congratulated me on the movie, that's it." Vanessa looked at her lap but looked back at him again. "And do you honestly think I'm stupid enough to put my phone in the back pocket of my pants in a crowded place?" he gave a small chuckle. That laugh meant the world to her, and it was enough to get a small smile from her lips.

But that smile faltered as fast as it appeared on her face. "So you didn't go clubbing?" she queried.

"No, babe," Zac pressed. "The after party was in a club, but there were tons of other people there too, we didn't go to a bar with just the two of us. We talked for like, two minutes."

But Vanessa saw the pictures, and to her, they didn't look like they were talking for just two minutes, they looked like they've been talking for hours. "I don't think I can believe you, Zac." she said, her voice cracking.

She glanced at Zac and saw a flash of hurt appear in his eyes. "Why not, Vanessa? She's 18. She's way too young for me. Do you really think I would hit on Bonnie?"

"This isn't just about Bonnie, Zac!" she screamed in frustration. "This is about Megan, and Edita, and everyone else you've ever been linked to aside from me! I can't handle being jealous of them, Zac, especially since I know the rumors about them aren't true." her voice calmed a bit at her last sentence.

"Then why be jealous of them then?" he half-shouted. Vanessa was frustrating him. Why did they have to fight over this? It's not like the rumors were true. He would never cheat on Vanessa. "You didn't use to be this insecure, Vanessa."

"I know, Zac. I know." Vanessa replied. She closed her eyes and braced herself for the tears that were about to fall for what she was about to say next. "And that's exactly why I'm breaking up with you."

Zac furrowed eyebrows relaxed and all the anger from his face was drained. Instead he became pale, as if all the blood from his face and the life from his body was sucked out of him.

"What?" he asked softly, his voice cracking.

As soon as she opened her eyes, tears started pouring down her cheeks. She took his hand into hers and traced the silver Kuuipo ring he was wearing with her index finger.

"When we first got together in HSM 1, you told me you fell for me because I was different from other girls. I didn't care how much I ate, I didn't put on too much make-up. I wasn't insecure of myself. But now I am. And I guess that doesn't really make me the girl you fell in love with." Zac shook his head as she spoke. "I'm different now."

"I don't give a damn if you're different now." He screamed out of frustration, hurt and heartbreak. He felt tears threatening to fall and looked her in the eyes, held both of her hands and pleaded, "I don't want us to end, Van. Please."

But Vanessa was having none of that, even if she really didn't want to let him go. "No, Zac." she said, breaking her own heart rather than his.

Zac closed his eyes in defeat. He let go of her hands, as if letting go of her. He knew she wasn't going to accept him two days later after a romantic apology, like she usually did when the had a disagreement. They were done. For good.

"So that's it?" he asked. "You're throwing away four years of love and happiness just because you feel insecure?"

Vanessa looked up and saw a fresh tear come out from Zac's right eye. She wanted nothing more but to wipe that tear away, kiss him and say she's sorry for overreacting. "Yes, Zac." But that's all too late now.

"You don't have to feel insecure, Vanessa. You're the only one I want." he tried to convince her.

"I don't care, Zac. All these rumors are going to keep coming and I don't know I'm not gonna be strong enough to face them, even if they aren't true." She looked away immediately, ashamed to admit to him that she can't be strong for him. For them.

"You will be." he said in what he thought to be a believable tone, as he cupped her cheek to bring her gaze back to him.

"No, Zac. I won't be." She felt her heart break even more when she saw another tear fall onto Zac's cheek. "I know this is hurting you. But this is hurting me more. Trust me, Zac, this is for the best."

No, this isn't for the best, he wanted to tell her. How can it be the best if I can't live my life in the arms of the person I love the most?

But Zac trusted her. Vanessa was always the smart one of the couple and Zac knew she makes right decisions all the time.

"Can I have one last kiss?" Zac asked her seriously.

Vanessa felt more tears brimming in her eyes, threatening to fall. She wanted nothing more but feel his warm, soft lips dancing with hers, but what came out of her mouth shocked even her. "No."

"What?" Zac asked softly. He removed his hand that was cupping her cheek away from her face. Vanessa felt so guilty when she saw Zac's heart breaking through his eyes. "Why not?" he asked, already feeling another batch of fresh tears about to fall from his eyes.

"One kiss is all it takes to bring you even closer to me, to make me fall in love with you all over again. And if that happens, it'll just be harder to let you go. I'm sorry, Zac." she said in a soft voice, letting another tear escape from her control.

Zac stared at her with nothing but sadness and hurt on his face, but nodded and started tracing her facial features with his fingers. He ran along her soft, moist lips, tempting him to jump on her and just kiss her. He looked into her perfect brown doe eyes that he could stare and fall into for the rest of his life. This was the hardest thing he has ever done in his entire life.

"I love you, V. I'll always love you. Remember that." he said, his voice cracking.

"I love you too, Zac." she replied to him, not believing the pain she felt in her heart. There was no worse pain in the entire world.

He moved forward on the bed to hug her, for the final time. She wrapped her arms around his neck, and placed her face in her favorite spot in his neck. He pulled her closer, closed enough for him to smell her hair and take in her hypnotizing strawberry scent.

They stayed like that for a couple of minutes until Vanessa decided it was time to let go.

"You have to get some rest, Zac, you're obviously tired." she told him, trying to bring firmness in her shaky voice, looking away from him.

Zac stared at her with longing. He got up, seeing as how she didn't want to look at him anymore, and headed towards the door. But before he could reach it, he took a step back. He walked back towards Vanessa until he was standing right in front of her. He raised his right hand and pointed to his Kuuipo ring.

"Always wear yours, alright? Always." he told her. She nodded and traced her own gold ring with her left finger. "Remove it only when you're positive you don't love me anymore."

"Okay."

He held her close one more time for a few seconds and let go, walking towards the door, this time with Vanessa's gaze following him until he reached the doorway.

"Goodbye, Vanessa."

"Goodbye, Zac."

Was it good? Was it bad? Tell me what you think.

BTW, I was thinking of making this a twoshot, but I don't know. Tell me if you think I should, alright? For now it's gonna be a oneshot. :) REVIEWS MAKE ME HAPPY.
