Gotta Go My Own Way ~#2~ (N.G./C.D.)

Chapter 16

I groan and sit up, clutching my head. Tori isn't in her bed, so I assume they are out. My phone keeps going off from Twitter mentions. I sigh and pick it up, scrolling around. Many are happy birthday tweets from yesterday just being repeated. I reply to some of them and check the time before turning my phone back off. 3:40. I didn't think I was asleep that long. Then again, it was pretty much a blur.My head continues to throb so I get up and go to the bathroom, looking at myself in the mirror. I'm not wearing the dress from last night and my make up has been cleaned off. Maybe Tori or Ther did it? I don't remember who I went home with. I sigh harder and take two advil from my make up bag, getting a drink of water with it. I guess I should get ready for the day. I take a blue and green sundress from my bag and a jean jacket. After putting that on, I go into the bathroom and put my make up on. I curl the ends of my hair and slip into some brown sandals. I then text Cam to see where they are.

Where are you? -Rosalie

He responds almost instantly.

Out with the guys and your friend and cousin. -Cam

Ok where? -Rosie

We'll be back in a bit. Nash is still there tho. -Cam

I groan out of frustration. Why won't he tell me where they are? This is just starting to seem shady. I don't bother to reply and head out to Nash's room. He shuffles around after I knock and opens the door.

"Uh..Hey Rosalie, erm how you feeling?" He awkwardly rambles.

"Nash...Why are you being weird?" I walk into the room and sit on his bed.

"Oh, I'm not." He shakes his head and coughs, closing the door and standing in front of me.

"Oh. Okay. Can you tell me what happened last night? I just really don't remember and it's bothering me. " I lay back and stare at the ceiling.

"Well you got pretty wasted and was acting crazy so everyone went home but, like, me." He scratches his head.

"Who was the first to go?"

"Cameron." Nash looks away as tears well up in my eyes.

"I figured." I stand up and head to the door, desperate for alone time.

"Where are you going?" And in that moment, I wonder why Nash is here while everyone else is out. He doesn't seem sick and he normally does go out.

"Hey, why'd you stay in?"

"I was tired." He shrugs. His mouth quirks up when he speaks, something I've noticed he does when he's lying.

"You're lying." I stare into his eyes, confused as to what is the big deal.

"Okay. I wanted to make sure you were fine." Nash admits.

"Was it you that I went home with last night?" He nods and looks down. "Thanks for being my best friend." I walk up to him, kissing him on the cheek before walking back into my room. To kill time, I begin to write another song. Ted did say he needed more songs from me.

~~~~~~~~~About 2 hrs later.

Someone knocks on my door, causing me to jolt up from the sudden noise. I stand up and walk to the door, opening it to Cameron.

"Hey." I smile at him and open the door wider so he could walk in.

"We need to talk." Cam sighs and grabs my hands, closing the door behind him.

"What is it?" I frown.

"Last night was pretty crazy. It's been crazy around here lately." He begins, pausing to eye my reaction.
