Unconditional [Sequel to Broken: Nash Grier]

Party

CHAPTER 8:

(Delaney's POV)

"Happy Birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday DEAR TRENTON... HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!" Mia, Matt, Tasia, Naomi and I sang to Trent as we exited the elevator and headed to our room.

Today's Trent's 20th birthday, and also the last day before we start filming. Aka, Nash and I have to pretend to be much more intimate with one another for the camera in a couple days.

"Shut up, I hate you all!" he yelled at us covering his ears.

We laughed as we entered the room and were welcomed by a chorus of 'hellos.'

I flashed a smile to everyone who waved to me. I actually really love this cast. For the most part, everyone for along and was very supportive of others.

"Laney!" Gabi yelled as she ran up go me, enclosing me in a hug.

"Hey Gabs! How's my favorite little sister?" I winked to her.

"I'm great! Today's Trent's birthday, do you know that?"

"Of course I did. I just embarrassed him on the way up by singing extra loudly to him."

"That's awesome. Are you coming to his party tonight? It's gonna be all fancy and the girls will wear dresses and the guys tuxes and there'll be fancy champagne and good music and twinkly lights and.. and.. it'll be amazing." She said out of breath.

"I can't wait!"

"Who are you bringing as your plus one?"

"Hey Laney." Nash smiled as he caught sight of me and came over to give me a hug. His arms felt so secure and warm around me.

"Oooohhhh... Nash and you are going together. I got it."

"What? Oh no, we aren't together- I mean going together. I'm bringing my boyfriend Christian."

"Uhh, yeah, and I'm bringing my very close friend.. It's a uhh surprise." Nash said in an unsure tone.

He quickly let go of my waist- which I didn't realize he was holding- and went to sit down at the table. Gabriella shook her head and sighed at me.

"What's wrong?" I asked her.

"I hope I'm not as foolish as you two when I'm that age." she flipped her hair and walked away to take a seat next to Naomi.

I blinked in confusion as to how this 10 year old had such a keen insight on things that I was so oblivious to.

I took one of the only open seats left between Brendan and Nash and sat down awkwardly.

This'll be a fun rehearsal..

"And don't forget that tonight is my son Trent's 20th birthday celebration at our home in Beverly Hills. Check the invites for the address, and if you lost that talk to me. It's a plus one, but if you have more than one, bring them anyways. The more the merrier. I'll hopefully see you all tonight. Have a great rest of your day." Jay said as he closed out our rehearsal.

I organized my things together and set them in my purse, grabbing my keys in the process. I motioned over Mia and Tasia, who I now drive home until they get their own cars.

As I was about to step into the elevator, a hand grabbed my elbow and stopped me. I turned around to see Nash standing there. When I had looked back, the elevator doors were sliding closed.

"You really think Aussie boy will be up to a Hollywood party?" he smirked maliciously.

"I think he'll do just fine." I rolled my eyes and pressed the button for the elevator to return.
