Guilty As Sin? (Nathan Prescott x reader)

15

2 months later 

Nathan and I were still a secret, but that didn't mean he wasn't a good boyfriend. He would take me to dinner dates out of town where no one we know would see us, or we would go on walks together at night, and on weekends sneak each other into one another's dorms.  Though I hated that it had to be a secret.

Our first date he took me to the beach at night and we had a picnic. It was a lot more romantic than anything I'd ever experienced before so am I even allowed to be upset that I have no one to tell about it?

The results of the Romeo and Juliet auditions came out. Juliet was going to be played by Dana which I dropped off a bouquet of flowers to congratulate her on. Romeo was Hayden, and his understudy was Nathan. Nathan was glad he was just the under study because that means he would only have to go on stage if Hayden got sick or invited or something which was very un likley.

I was head of the prop department which I was happy  about and I have continued to work on props and costume ideas. The play was still far away but Mr Keaton likes to be extra prepared but I think he's just extra paranoid.

Nathan and I talked about how he has to act a certain way around his friends and that he apologizes but it's just the way world works and once he's ready to tell people about us he won't have to be fake anymore.

I hate how much this secret relationship was making me upset. 6 months ago I wouldn't even have been caught dead in a relationship the only thing I cared about was feeling numb.

Which I sometimes miss because I hate the constant feeling of disappointment. Like when he has to cancel us hanging out because he has to have some vortex club meeting.

It was all a lot, but I really liked Nathan so I tried to ignore the pain it was causing me, because when we are together and we can be ourselves and not pretend it's great it's like a fairy tail.

There was a vortex club party today which is what I was getting ready for. Nathan wasn't sure if I should go but I insisted and I'd be hanging out with Dana, Trevor, and Justin.

I put on a skirt, that hadn't worn since my party days, tights, and a t-shirt that hung off my shoulders. I was planning on having Fun tonight and Nathan and I Agreed to sneak into his place tonight. So to say I was excited would be an extreme understatement.

When I arrived at the party the loud music made me smile. I walked around for a little bit trying to find someone I knew, eventually I ran into Dana, Trevor, and Justin.

"Y/n! So glad you made it girl!" Dana said happily. "Yah me too" I say. "Y/n, did you see that video I sent you of Justin eating concrete when he tried to create a new skating trick!" Trevor laughed and I did too, "dude! I told you to not show anyone" Justin says.
"Too late Justin I saw it and it was hilarious" I laugh but it ends quickly as I see Nathan in the corner of my eye. Hes with a bunch of people mainly vortex club members but also a girl from a lower grade than us who is obviously flirting with him and being touchy though he wasn't doing much to feed into what she was doing as he was staring directly at me or still hurt seeing someone else act like how I should be if people knew we were together.

"Ima go get a drink, you guys want anything?" I ask. "A beer is fine" Trevor says and Dana smiles and says she wants that too. "Nah I'm good" Justin says. I go to the bar and order 2 beers and a shot of vodka. I take the shot and ask for another one and take it too. Then I Oder a beer for myself.

"Here you guys go" I say when I find my way back to Dana and Trevor. Now we are all sitting on some couch thing with a couple other people around too. I take a sip of my beer and Justin says, "y/n your drinking again?"

"Just one drink, if can't hurt" I say and he shrugs. I'm zoned out but can hear familiar voices near me.

"Nathan Kill, kiss, fuck; Brooke Scott, y/n y/l/n, and Juliet Watson." I knew by the sound of her voice it was Courtney asking him and my heart froze when I heard my name.

"Jesus, kiss Brooke, fuck, Juliet, anddddd kill y/n" he says I'm a casual tone. "Y/n's a total dweeb" Courtney says. I make a face at the cringey insult. Did he really mean what he said? Or was he just saying that cause he was infront of his friends. I needed another drink so I head back to the bar with out saying anything else to the group.

When I get up to the bar I order another shot. When it's ready I drink it immediately and when I put the glass down a kid who I wasn't sure what his name was but have seen him around school said, "yo y/n ! Want a hit? Free of charge!" He's shouting but it's still hard to hear him I shrug and smoke it then pass it back to him.

It hits me almost immediately as I haven't done this in a while. The mix of that and alcohol was giving me a headache so I headed to the bathroom.

Nathan's POV

I was hanging with members of the vortex club and Courtney was asking all of us stupid questions. I felt bad about how i answered the kiss kill fuck question but I answered it in a way I knew they would like. It's not like I meant it.

"Nathan why haven't u had anything? It's not like you to be sober at something like this" Victoria asks.

"I don't need it I guess" I shrug. Ever since me and y/n started dating I haven't touched alcohol or drugs. I just don't feel like I need to do those things anymore I guess.

"Whatever" Victoria says. When Courtney starts talking to the group again I groan and decide to head to the bathroom. I texted y/n on my way there.

Me: come to the bathroom I wanna see you

I arrive at the bathrooms and walk in to see something or other someone.

"Y/n?" I say confused. She wasn't face me as her body was leaned over and close to the sink. When she hears me her body shoots up standing straight. And she turns around to look at me wiping her nose. I look at the sink.

"Are you doing coke?" I ask and walk up to her. I can see the water in her eyes.

"I- I'm sorry..." she breaks down and starts crying and hugs me. I hug her back of course. "I wanna leave" she tells me. "Okay...you walk out first and go outside to my truck. I'll be out in a couple minutes so no one gets suspicious" I tell her calmly. She nods and heads out.

I wish I could've walked out with her but I just- I'm not ready for that. I walk up to the bathroom mirror. "It's okay Nathan, everything is fine, it's co-"

The door opens and in walks Justin, "you talking to yourself weirdo?" He was obviously intoxicated. I walk up to him and grab him by the collar. "The fuck did you just say to me wanna be hipster?"

"Let go psycho!" He pushes me back, i immediately punch him back and he falls on the floor. I hear him groan and I walk out.
