Guilty As Sin? (Nathan Prescott x reader)

50

Y/n's pov

After talking to Dana on the phone I quickly call Nathan. The phones rings a few times before he finally answers, "is everything okay?" He asks. "Uh- yeah...I talked to Dana and she convinced me to go to the party tonight. Then after I'm gonna stay the night with her, and since everyone will see that I'm alive and well I'll be able to stay in my room again." I explain to him. "Oh, uh okay. Are you sure you wanna go to a party though?" He asks. "It wouldn't hurt, would probably help me get my mind of things. Plus Steph always told me stories of highschool parties she went to so." I assure him. "Alright that's cool I gotta get to class" he said before he hung up.

I rolled out of bed and began gathering my things. I felt bad for staying at Nathan's his whole room was a mess because of me. I hate that when I'm down I drag others with me. So I made sure to clean Nathan's room and make it spotless for when he gets back. I put on a 'disguise' and by that I mean glasses and a hoodie. I grabbed my bags of things and left to go to the girls dorms.

There were multiple classes going on at the moment so I didn't see anyone and no one saw me. I put my things in my room and then hurriedly took a shower then ran back into my room before anyone got back from class. I also texted Dana letting her know I'm back in my room and she could just come over here when she's ready. She's was a little sad that she couldn't pick my outfit but I told her tonight we could have a sleepover and a fashion show.

Over the next couple hours I did my hair, make up, and got dressed. I haven't looked this put together since the play and I felt good. I sat on my bed for a moment just looking around and taking in the surroundings that I had been away from for a while. I look at the pictures I have framed in my nightstand. There was one of me and Nathan, another of the theater department, and one of Steph and I that was taking during one of the activity days we were given. The picture itself wasn't actually given to me until I was able to leave.

I took a deep breath and heard a knock on the door. I didn't reply before the door opened up and Dana walked in quietly. She shuts the door behind her and runs over to me and hugs me. "I've miss you so much." She tells me and pulls away. "I've missed you too, I'm sorry I went ghost, I didn't know how else to handle it..." I explain and she nods and says, "it's okay y/n. Believe it or not I understand the feeling all too well."

"Anyway you ready to go?" She asks and I nod and stand up and as we exit my room I turn and look back at the picture of me and Steph one more time.

The party was on the beach and Dana and I rode with Trevor and Justin who were excited to see me. They asked where I was and I lied and said I was on vacation and that I had no cell service. Luckily for me they were too stoned to question it. We arrived at the party and I regretted going. I couldn't drink, smoke, or do anything really. We walked to the area and I looked around. Eventually I loosened up a little bit and Dana and I danced the night away.

Multiple people went up to me asking where I'd been and I told them the same lie I told Justin and Trevor in the car, no one questioned it and moved on. Even Victoria came up to me she said, "I knew you were okay because Nathan was okay." She walked off before I could reply, but I felt like what she said was a good thing?

Nathan: lmk when you wanna leave and we can meet behind the Dj's booth and stuff

Me: kk

I didn't know Nathan was gonna take me home and I haven't seen him this whole party. But by the way Dana was dancing with Trevor I figured that sleepover would probably have to wait anyway. A little while longer passed and I started to get tired so I texted Nathan.

Me: I'm ready to go I'll meet you there in 5

Nathan : got it

I said goodbye to Dana and Trevor and made my way over to where Nathan said to meet. When I turned the corner I see Nathan and a bunch of fairy lights as well as the words prom? With a heart around it written in the sand, he was also holding flowers. To say he didn't look absolutely perfect would be a total lie. I ran over to him and hugged up. He pulled me into a kiss and when we pulled away I said, "I'd love to go to prom with you."
