Party Part 1

The moral around the house had been pretty low lately. With Camila being there, stress was high to make sure she doesn't escape, and business was busy. Ashton was feeling a little neglected lately, Luke Zayn and Ari had all been working long nights and not paying much attention to him. Camila was starting to adjust to life with them, but would not admit that she was having any kind of fun. Niall's birthday was coming up and Micheal had deiced that he'd throw a party for him that everyone had to be at.
Ashton and Camila helped with the decorations and setting everything up, so when they all came home it was a surprise to everyone especially Niall.
"Surprise!" They shouted as Niall entered the room. It was covered in balloons and streamers, there were many many horderves and desserts covering the kitchen island.
"Is this for me?" Niall questioned with a large smile.
"Yup!" Ashton said proudly. Ariana, Zayn and Luke walked over to Ashton with smiles. "Good job buddy." Zayn spoke ruffling his hair.
"We are all staying and partying tonight." Micheal declared to the whole room.
Camila got the music playing and Micheal began pouring drinks for those who could drink. Of course Camila and Ashton were not allowed.
"I'd love to stay but Zayn and I have some work to do." Luke explained looking at Ashton who looked like a very sad puppy. Luke leaned down and placed a soft kiss on his lips. "As soon as we are done I'll be back okay? Ari will dance with you I'm sure." Luke explained, and before he even had time to reply they were gone. Ashton pouted, looking out as Ari was talking to Selena.
"That sucks Ash. I'm sorry." Camila spoke, having seen the whole thing. "They don't care anymore.." He frowned, feeling like he wanted to cry.

"No they do... They are just busy." She spoke, looking over at Louis and Harry who weren't paying any attention at the moment. "I have an idea." She smiled and whispered in his ear.
"You and I are getting drunk tonight. When the others have had a few drinks and aren't paying any attention we will sneak some shots. It'll be fun." Camila spoke with a smile.
Ashton thought for a moment, he wasn't supposed to drink... but if no one was paying any attention to him any way what did it matter. "Okay deal." He spoke fully on board for their ridiculous plan.
A FEW HOURS LATER.
Everyone was drunk. Shawn and Liam were dancing along to the music, practically grinding. Micheal was cleaning up some of the mess but was clearly too drunk to actually clean, Niall was hanging around the kitchen talking with him. Harry and Louis were sitting on the couch cuddling and kissing. Ariana and Selena were dancing way too fast to a slow paced song. Ashton and Zayn were still MIA.
"Now is our chance." Camila spoke grabbed a bottle of vodka off the table, and grabbing Ashton's arm. They slipped under the kitchen table, so no one could see them. Camila grabbed the bottle and took the first swig, before handing it to Ashton. He took it and thought for a moment, feeling a little bad he was defying the rules. "Fuck it." He said, suddenly feeling a little anger inside him.. he never swore or drank so this was a big deal to him. He felt sad and wanted to be defiant. He took a big gulp and handed it back to Camila.
"That stuff is gross." He concluded making a face. She chuckled and took another swig.
"I think maybe three more gulps like you just did and you will be set for the night." She explained, handing it back to him. They each did about the equivalent of three shots each. Since Ashton of course hadn't eaten that day he began to feel the effects almost instantly.
They slipped out from under the table undetected. They went over to sit down on the couch across from Harry and Louis. The two of them were beginning to get giggly with each other.
As the night went on people were disappearing to their rooms or else where. It wound up being Ashton, Camila, Harry and Louis in the room having two separate conversations. Ashton and Camila were drunk but still trying to hide it. Finally Luke and Zayn emerged to join the seemingly dead party.
"Hey Handsome." Luke said taking a seat right next Ashton, wrapping an arm around him. "Hey." Ashton replied.
Luke instantly knew something was off, he looked at Zayn who also looked concerned.
"Are you having fun baby?" Zayn questioned Ashton. "Yeah." He replied before turning back to Camila and trying to contuine their conversation.
Harry and Louis got the vibe something was going on so they turned their attention to the conversation.
"What's wrong Ash?" Zayn questioned him, wondering where the attitude was coming from all of sudden.
"Nothing.. 'm fine." He slurred his words. Luke looked at him and leaned in close to smell him. He smelt like booze.
