| Chapter 4- Laney |

*The lights, the music, the drinks- that became my life.*

The camera flashes were blinding as reporters started throwing questions around about my latest movie. I simply gave them a practiced and perfected smile to hide away the growl of annoyance building up in me.

These people never knew how to shut up did they? They already knew the movie was being premiered tonight, what more did they want? They could easily grab tickets and watch the dang movie if they wanted to know!

A hand slipped in mine and I gave a cheeky grin to the man at my side. Daniel Bouys, my boyfriend who's known for his music albums. He was wearing jeans that hung low at his hips as well as a tight dress shirt that was both modest and sexy at the same time. His dark hair was flipped to the side and his deep brown eyes bore into my own hazel brown ones.

"Hey sexy," he whispered as he leaned down and kissed my cheek. "How you holding up?"

"Good now that you're here," I replied and moved on, posing every now and then with Daniel.

Together, along with more of my castmates, we walked into the theater to see the screening of our movie. I would say I was excited, and I'm sure at some point I was, but currently, I was disinterested and was only here because my boyfriend wanted to watch me on the screen before the party.

As the lights dimmed and the movie began to roll, I simply analyzed everything around me before looking back at the screen, ready to nitpick my weaknesses to improve next time. And while at it, I'd nitpick everyone else's since they were bound to have more than me.

The bass shook the walls of the building and the lights caused me to feel dizzy as I walked around in my six inch heels with a glass in my hand. Probably my fourth or fifth one. I lost count. And whatever was in here was strong enough to make me feel tipsy already. I would usually order my own drinks but in this case, I didn't care so much. I wanted to let loose.

The lights, the music, the drinks- that became my life. One I wasn't too happy with but one of familiarity. And I wouldn't trade that for anything.

"Have you seen Daniel?!" I shouted to one of his bandmates and he gave me a dazed grin before pointing to the VIP lounge. Perks of having a closed party with famous people. You get your own private setting.

Daniel was sitting down at the table downing shot after shot with someone from the movie and winning. I gave a cheeky grin as I sloshed my drink on my way. I then sat on his lap as he finished the last of his drink before slamming it down. I planted a big wet kiss on his lips, tasting the alcohol and something else on his breath.

"Heeeyyy babbbyyy," I slurred as I wrapped my arms around him. He gripped my waist as he nudged towards me, capturing my lips with his.

"PDA!" someone groaned and I flipped them off, never once pulling away.

"I got something for you," he breathed into the kiss before pulling away.

I frowned, wanting another round but he laughed and hoisted me up before leading me out of the VIP lounge and past the dancers on the bar floor. He led me to the back while I whined about wanting another drink and for him to kiss me senseless.

"Oh baby this will be better than a kiss," he chuckled and I simply gave a childish giggle, not really aware of our surroundings. I just realized the biting cold as I was wearing a strapless gold dress that went up to my mid thigh. It was also dark and the smell of plants and other unfamiliar substances infiltrated my sense of smell.

"Heeyy Dan," an unfamiliar voice slurred out and I barely made him out in the shadows. He was in the middle of a group of people who were bent over sniffing something or swallowing another thing.

"Hey man. Brought my girlfriend," my boyfriend responded as he tugged me a bit too harshly towards the group.

"Owwww," I groaned as I glared at him. He simply shot me a dazed grin and I gave one back myself. "What are we doing?" I then asked and Daniel lifted my hand and kissed it before winking at the guys.

"Getting you to try something better than my kisses," he replied in a haughty voice, not that I really cared. Nothing did top his kisses so if he was speaking highly of this thing, it must be good.

"Alright," I shrugged, not grasping the dangers of the situation seeing as I was drunk.

"Hold your hand out babe," he commanded and I did as I was told, watching as white powder was placed on my flat palm.

"Now hold your palm flat like it was a table and lift that to your nose," he added and I frowned slightly.

"What is this?" I asked. "Is this...what I think it is?" I added and he practically forced my nose into the powder. I ended up giving a gasp and taking a deep breath, coughing violently as the powder got trapped in my mouth.

Shouts of surprise echoed around me as people's voices rang round us as well as flashes of light. I blinked and wiped my hands on my dress, ridding myself of that gosh awful powder only to be blinded by the lights and alone with a few others before they pulled me with them. Daniel wasn't by my side. That was the last thing I remembered before I pushed myself into the bar and fell against the wall.
