Chapter 95: Under Pressure

Nash's POV


Cameron and I held hands as we got out of the black and white limo. Stephen was so kind as to have one sent for us.


"Are you ready?" I asked Cameron as he squeezed my hand. "As ready as I'll ever be babe." He said as he briefly kissed my lips.


The paparazzi went insane as they saw Cameron and I holding hands. They were asking so many questions that everything was barely audible. The flashes of the cameras nearly blinded Cameron and I as we walked into the hotel where the party was being held.


"Nash!" a voice yelled, I turned around and was immediately pulled into a gigantic bear hug.


"So glad you could make it!" Chloe said with a smile. She glanced over to Cameron. "Oh so this is the lucky guy! I'm Chloe, nice to meet you." She said politely while hugging him. Cameron smiled, "I'm Cameron." Chloe let out a slight chuckle. "I know! Nash talks about you all the time!"


I looked down and blushed.


"Oh does he?" Cameron asked with a smirk.


"All the time! It's actually very cute! Now come on guys, party's on the roof!" Chloe said while grabbing mine and Cameron's hands and dragging us to the elevator.


"So, are you here alone?" Cameron asked as the elevator door shut.


"No, I'm here with Ethan." She said with a smile and I could sense a slight blush.


"Are you guys like dating?" I asked.


Chloe nodded her head. "Yeah, we have been for a while." She said with a smile.


"How come I was unaware of this?" I asked while chucking.


"I mean we made it kind of obvious, it's not my fault you suck at taking hints." Chloe said with a giggle.


"I do not!" I protested.


"Oh trust me he does!" Cameron added.


I glared at Cameron only to start laughing.


I gripped his hand and kissed him lightly.


"Oh you guys are so cute!" Chloe exclaimed.


"Thanks..." I said with a smile.


"How long have you guys been together?" she asked.


"We'll I would say about three years or so. On and off on and off but that's normal you know." Cameron said with a smile.


I wondered to myself, had it really been three years? Three years since that night that changed everything. I'm glad Cameron and I have come this far though and I'm also glad that I can say I am with him in the end.


"Wow." Chloe said while staring off into space.


The elevator door dinged and it opened to reveal a mass of people.


"I'm going to go find Ethan." Chloe said while disappearing into the crowd of people.


I clutched on to Cameron's waist as we waded through the people. "Wow there are a lot of people here." Cameron commented. "God I feel like I'm in the apocalypse." I said while chuckling.


Cameron and I eventually found some couches way at the back. We sat down and tried to catch our breath.


"Cameron!" a girls voice said. A very, very pretty blonde girl walked over to Cameron. She was tan and bleach blonde hair. She looked like a Victoria's Secret model.


"Skye!" Cameron said while getting up and pulling her in for a hug.


"It's so great to see you again! What are you doing here?" she said. I quickly stood up next to him.


Cameron smiled. "I'm here with my fiancée Nash, he's working on one of Stephens films." Cameron said while looking at me.


"Oh that's great!" she said while smiling.


"I'll see you around okay! Have fun tonight!" she said while walking off.


"Who was that?" I asked Cameron


"Oh that's Skye, we worked on this underwear catalogue for Calvin Klein and Victoria's secret a while ago." Cameron said with a smile.


I nodded. Cameron kissed my cheek gently. "I'm heading to the bathroom okay. I'll be right back." He said while squeezing my hand one last time. I nodded.


I took a seat back down.


I pulled out my phone and it was literally blowing up. There were already pictures of Cam and I holding hands all over Twitter and Instagram.


Some of the feedback was positive while a lot of it was negative. Although, there will always be negativity. I tweeted a few fans and updated my Snapchat story. I also had received quite a few texts from the guys about all the photo's.


I continued to scroll for a while till I realized that Cameron hadn't come back yet. I checked the time, it had been a half an hour. Could the line for the bathroom be that long?


"Nash!" Ethan said as he came over to me. "Hey bro." I said. I wasn't really interested in talking to anyone, I wanted to find out where Cameron was.


"Have you seen Cameron?" I asked. Ethan shook his head, "No, but you need to come! I have something to show you!" Ethan said while dragging me into the crowd before I could respond.


He dragged me for a while till we came to a small door. "Hey where's Chloe?" I asked.


"She's in here and so is Stephen, come on dude." He said while discreetly opening the door. We quickly went in before anyone could see.


The door led to a room, it was filled with couches. The walls were a maroon color and there was a large window that took up almost an entire wall. Stephen, Chloe and a few other people were sprawled out on the couch.


"What is this?" I asked.


"Nash!" Stephen said while getting up. He looked off.


"Nash you've got to you join us!" Chloe said from the couch.


"Join you?" I asked.


"Yeah!" Stephen said while handing me something. I looked and my heart almost stopped.


It was a needle.


Oh god.


I've read about this. Sometimes big time actors and directors take drugs to keep their stamina up so they can film or learn their lines better.


"What is that?" I asked shakily. I full well knew exactly what that was. I couldn't go back to it. I couldn't. I had Cameron now, I didn't need it.


"You know what it is! Now are you going to join us or not?" Stephen asked.


Fuck.


You know, I never really thought peer pressure was a thing but now I do. If I don't take it i will embarrass myself in front of my director. What if he drops me from the movie? But if I do take it then I'll go back to what I was before. And I don't want that.


Resist. Resist.


I took the needle and the contents quickly.


"If you want to do it in privacy you can go to that bathroom over there." Chloe said while pointing.


Thank god.


I nodded and quickly went to the bathroom.


Okay Nash, you don't have to do it. You just have to pretend like you did. I quickly slipped the stuff in my pocket. I waited a few minutes before coming out again.


"How do you feel?" Stephen asked. I just nodded my head aimlessly to give off the impression that I was on a high.


"I'm going to do find Cam." I said while walking out of the room.


I was once again faced with a mob of people. I waded my way through till I found myself back at the couches where Cameron and I had been sitting previously. Cameron sat there on his phone.


"Nash! There you are! I told you not to leave." Cameron said with a pout.


I let out a shaky sigh. "Can we go please?" I asked desperately.


"Why?" Cameron asked.


"Cam please. Can we go. We can have a movie marathon or a sex marathon or whatever you want just please can we go." I said pleadingly.


Cameron raised an eyebrow. "Sure boo." He said while getting up.


I breathed out a breath of relief. I needed to get out of here.

QOTD: Opinions on Carter?


-I kind of think he's an asshole that's why he isn't in this book that much. Don't attack me.
