Would you be tearful if your ‘best friend’ ex didn’t show up to YOUR birthday party? That’s what reportedly happened to Vanessa Hudgens.

Vanessa spent her 22nd birthday partying at PURE Nightclub in Las Vegas on Dec. 18 with friends including Ashley Tisdale and Brittany Snow. But the night ended with a meltdown as she sobbed because ex-boyfriend of five years Zac Efron never gave her a ring!

According to the National Enquirer, Vanessa, 22, partied down with her friends, and things went well for much of the night. But she eventually was overtaken with emotion when she came to terms with Zac, 23, not being there.

Vanessa allegedly cried and bemoaned the fact that her former boyfriend and still close friend Zac wasn’t there for her and she felt “like such a fool” for thinking Zac would actually propose on a recent trip to Hawaii. Instead the High School Musical couple ended up breaking up on the bittersweet trip. After she calmed down, Vanessa went back to the party and finished out the night.

Zac is rumored to be cozying up to his The Lucky One costar, 26-year-old Taylor Schilling, despite having just been spotted kissing Vanessa in Waikiki, Hawaii a little over one month ago! Even though the two reportedly broke up on this trip, Zac had specifically gone there to visit Vanessa, who was there shooting her new movie Journey 2: The Mysterious Island.

But, Vanessa isn’t the only one who’s been spotted out on the town post break up! Zac has been spotted in New Orleans, La., with newly single Twilight hottie Kellan Lutz, and the single duo even took in a New Orleans Saints football game together!

We’re surprised the relationship ended too, but the new year will surely to bring some new romance to your life, Vanessa!
