C A Star is Born (closed with SazzyP260)

Zach leaned forward and snagged a few tissues, wiping away the tears on Caleb's face. "Oh sweetheart. I promise it will be okay. All we have to do is smile." He couldn't really address Holly being here with Holly sitting two feet away but he knew it was hard for Caleb to give up his time with Jen. Now that they were married, Jen was spending a lot more time with Holly.

"We're doing this together. Always together. You and me."

Caleb nodded and smiled up at Zach "And the kids." Caleb said quietly, rubbing his thumb over the back of Zach's hand slowly "It's all we've got left in this world, it seems." Caleb glanced over at Jen and Holly, sighing and making a face. He buried his head back in Zach's shoulder, hiding himself away from the world "Tell me when we get there... I'm going to try and relax... Might fall asleep."

"Okay," Zach said with a sigh. He stroked Caleb's side and kept him snuggled close. He was going to have to mention to Jen that Caleb was feeling hurt and see if she could make an effort to spend some time with him. They were so close but since Holly and Jen had gone public and Jen had moved in and they'd gotten married, it had been a lot more couple time than Caleb and Jen time.

Relaxation, Sleep, those two things were a foreign subject when it came to Caleb - at least in this instance. He squirmed and wriggled around the entire limo trip from Holly and Jen's mansion all the way to the Dolby Theater. He was anxious, nervous, and could definitely tell that this was going to be a vicious night of either a migraine or a full-blown panic attack - both of which he did *not* need, nor did Zach at this particular event or moment.

When the limo stopped, Caleb didn't even bother to pretend being asleep. He lifted his head up from Zach's shoulder and looked around slowly, the tinted windows gave them just enough privacy, but he was still able to see out into the world. Flashing lights, flashy clothes, a bunch of reporters and paparazzi - Nothing changed since the last time they had been at a Red Carpet Affair. Caleb sat back, watching with mild disinterest as Jen and Zach started shoving Holly's overly extravagant gown out of the back of the Limo. He wanted to laugh at the ridiculousness of the situation - *no one* was wearing a ball gown, at least not as fluffed up as Holly's was; a bit of his 'bitchy queen' side was definitely showing tonight and he had no intentions of changing his views toward Holly; he just simply did not *like* her.

When he was the only one left in the back of the limo, he finally climbed out, but not before shoving a few more candy bars into his pocket and grabbing the largest bottle of water that the mini-fridge had to offer. He looped his arm with Zach's and looked around once again; flashes of light blinking in his face and the murmurs of the crowd deafening in his ears; everyone was shocked to see them on the red carpet once again and it made him smile as he squeezed Zach's arm lightly - it also helped that not many people were paying attention to Holly and her 'grand entrance' - Caleb couldn't wait to read the tabloids and internet feeds about this spectacle. He looked up at Zach "Let's do this thing, baby."
