STAR'S POV
HALLOWEEN NIGHT

"Star! Straight here, guys!"

"Jacob, over here for us!"

"Smile!"

"Kiss!"

As we walked the red carpet for Heidi Klum's Halloween party, the photographers shouted at us. We went as Corpse Bride's Hector and Emily. I really thought we looked amazing, especially with our special effects makeup.

"You make the perfect Hector." As we leave the carpet, I tell Jacob.

"And you make the perfect bride." He answers back.

He caught me off guard with that response. "Come on." I take this hand.

Entering the extravagant celebration, it was big and luxurious. Tonight there were performers everywhere, and the house was packed. Everyone was eager to arrive and get the celebration underway.

"Do you have the stuff?" I ask Jacob.

"I do." He answers back. "Are you sure you want to do this?"

I answer, "Very sure." to him.

"Positive?"

"Positive."

When we were hanging out with his friends a few nights prior, I had asked him if I could try coke with him. He was unsure of why I wanted to do it, so he thought it over carefully before he agreed with me.

Of course, I never revealed the true motivation to him—instead, I just told him I was intrigued and wanted to give it a shot. However, he agreed because he preferred that I did it with him than with a stranger. Even so, I managed to persuade him that doing it tonight would be ideal.

We went to one of the venue's rooms and locked ourselves in. We pull out the white stuff while seated and draw two lines in front of us. If I didn't admit that my heart was racing right now, I would be lying.

Jacob remarks, "You seem nervous."

"It's kind of nerve racking." I acknowledge.

"You can always change your mind."

"No, I want to do this."

This is something I have to do.

"Why are you so eager to do this?" 

"Do you want to do this with me or not?" 

"I'm just making sure you want to do this." 

I pressed my nose up to the white line, closed one nostril, and took a deep inhalation. My nostrils began to burn, and I gasped for air. 

I whisper, "Holy fuck."

Immediately I feel a rush, it gave me a ticklish feeling in my stomach but I felt relaxed for a minute.

"How are you feeling?"

Turning to Jacob I say, "Fucking great." I grin.

As he sat there with his fluffed up hair and dimple showing I just wanted to throw myself all over him.

So I did.

Sitting on his lap I wrap my arms around his hair.

"White dresses look good on you." He tells me.

I pull him closer to me looking him straight in the eyes. "I think I'd look better without it."

This sudden braveness hit me like a truck. It's something I wouldn't even say while drunk.
