Chapter 17 - The Red Carpet
When the limo came to a stop outside of the theater hosting the Tween
Awards, I thought my heart would jump right out of my chest.
"It'll be okay," Josh told me and squeezed my hand. "I'll be right there
with you. I won't let anything bad happen."
While we may not have hit it off back at the restaurant, it was nice to
know that Josh Holliday was not my enemy. He truly seemed to care about
my well-being this evening, and I was grateful for that. I didn't think
we were going to be friends after this, but I did think we both could
settle for being good acquaintances.
The door was opened from the outside, and Josh moved to get out.
"Thank you," I told him before he could get very far. He turned to look
at me, a smile on his face. He nodded, and I immediately felt safer than
I had moments before.
Josh continued to exit the car, and I slid across the seat toward the
open door. I was nervous. Heck, I was scared to death! But I knew that
this was something I needed to do.
I took Josh's hand when he had finished getting out and turned back
toward me. I swung my legs out of the car together to prevent any
accidental exposure and let him pull me to my feet. I returned the smile
he was giving me, feeling truly happy for the first time that evening.
There were quite a few more camera flashes here than there were at the
restaurant. But I guess that was to be expected when the press is ready
for you to be somewhere. Josh pulled me close to him and we posed for a
few shots before starting down the carpet.
I'd always wondered what it would be like to walk down the red carpet at
a big event like this. Now that it was actually happening, I wasn't as
eager to find out.
The area where we exited the car was about 100 yards away from the
entrance to the theater. Between us and the entrance were more cameras
and press than I had ever seen in one place at one time! It was truly
intimidating.
The only thing I could do as we walked was to keep a smile on my face and
try to enjoy the experience.
We stopped and posed at a few spots along the way that were marked for
the media. When we reached the halfway point we met the first red carpet
interviewer.
I recognized her from some show, but I couldn't remember which one. She
waved at Josh as we approached, and he nodded at her before turning us in
her direction. Every step we took closer to her made my heart race that
much faster.
"Thank you for speaking with us, Josh," she said when we got closer. I
noticed the red light on the camera was on, which didn't help my anxiety.
"Anytime, Michelle," Josh replied. The name helped me recognize her from
some MTV show. I still wasn't sure which one, but I could at least place
her now. Surprisingly, that information seemed to help me relax a little.
"You've been nominated for Best Male Artist again this year," she wasted
no time in getting to the interview. "Do you think this will finally be
the year?"
I thought it was a tacky question, but Josh kept a smile on his face as
he answered.
"I'd be lying if I didn't say I hoped so," he said with a small chuckle.
"But just being nominated is an honor."
"With four top ten songs during the past year, you've definitely given
everyone a reason to look."
He continued to smile. There was no question, and I don't think either of
us really knew how to respond. Luckily, she kept going to avoid any
awkward silence.
"Who's your date tonight?" Michelle asked, turning her attention to me.
Somehow, I managed to keep myself from blushing.
"This is Sarah Carerra," he said, and I tried to smile more for the
camera. "Her first single is supposed to be released next week. After
hearing it, I think she'll be up for her own award next year."
I smiled at his lie. It was good publicity, but I hoped nobody asked him
about the song.
"It's always nice to meet new talent," Michelle said. "What's your new
single about?"
It took me a second to realize the question was for me, and I hoped and
prayed that I hadn't been standing there silent for too long before
answering.
"It's called Intuition," I told her. "It's about feelings, and trying to
understand yourself within today's messed up world."
Dad and Max had come up with that answer, which made it a lot easier than
having to come up with something on the spot.
"Thank you both for taking the time to speak with us," Michelle said. We
both said our goodbyes and we were on our way down the red carpet again.
We stopped five more times before we reached the theater entrance to do
the same thing. Each interview was similar, but the interviews definitely
got better the closer we got to the door.
By the time we reached the door, we had talked to more people and had our
pictures taken more times than the rest of my life combined! Josh had my
arm in his while we walked up the three steps to the theater entrance and
into the lobby.
"That wasn't so bad, was it?" Josh asked me once we were safely inside
and away from the cameras.
"No," I replied truthfully. It hadn't been bad at all. Each interview
continued to get better, and by the end I was actually enjoying myself.
"Thank you for everything you said out there."
"It was my pleasure," he said. His tone indicated that he was wishing
more was going to come of this evening than a simple business arrangement
again. "I meant it, you know?"
"Meant what?" I asked him, not sure what he was referring to.
"You really are a good singer, and your song is beautiful."
"You've heard my song?" I gasped. I thought he had just been saying that
for the publicity!
"Of course," he said as if I should have known his answer. "I wouldn't
have said what I did out there without hearing it."
"Where did you hear it?" I asked him, truly amazed at the sincerity he
was showing.
"Don had me listen to it before I agreed to bring you this evening," he
replied.
"Oh," was all I was able to manage.
Before he could say anything else we reached the other side of the lobby.
An usher confirmed our names and handed us off to another who led us down
to our seats. We were seated in the middle of the theater, five rows from
the front!
The awards show turned out to be much like the ones I had seen on TV. It
was still boring in person, but seemed to be a little more bearable
because I was actually there.
Em, Ethan, and I had often watched the awards to make fun of people
walking the red carpet. We'd even make fun of the speeches that winners
would give. It was the only way we could watch them.
Oh my gosh! What if Emily or Ethan had watched Josh and I walk down the
red carpet? They may know my secret!
If they did know, they were going to be very mad at me!
"Are you okay?" Josh asked me out of the blue. I guess my frantic
realization had been noticed.
"I'm fine," I told him with a smile and he went back to enjoying the
awards show. I didn't think anyone enjoyed these things, but Josh
apparently did. Although I think being nominated for an award would make
me enjoy the show more too.
---
"And the winner for Best Male Artist is..." The presenter gave a dramatic
pause. "Josh Holliday!"
Josh looked shocked when I turned toward him to congratulate him. I don't
think he was expecting to win!
He looked over at me, his eyes wide, unable to move. I knew that he
needed to get up and walk to the stage to accept his award, but he seemed
to be frozen in place.
Conscious of the fact that every camera in the place was probably on us,
I leaned into him and whispered in his ear. "Congratulations, you really
deserve it!"
I then surprised myself by giving him a chaste kiss on the cheek. Even if
we hadn't clicked as a couple, he had been a gentleman since dinner. He
truly deserved that award too!
The kiss seemed to break him out of whatever he was feeling. He looked at
me, shocked for a moment before he managed to stand up and walk toward
the stage. It had to have only been seconds for this interaction to
occur, but I got the feeling that it might have been the pivotal moment
of the night.
Eventually he made it to the stage, where he was handed his Tweeny (No
lie! That's what it was called!). He then stepped up to the podium to
give his acceptance speech.
"This is a real honor," he said with the same shocked expression on his
face that he'd had before I kissed him. "I honestly didn't expect to win
tonight."
There was soft laughter throughout the hall before he continued. "There
are so many people I want to thank. First I have to thank my mom and dad;
I wouldn't be here without their love and support. Second, I have to
thank my agent Don Campbell and the good people at Platinum Records for
the opportunity they've given me to share my songs with all of you."
He paused for a second, looking at the Tweeny. "There are so many people
that I want to thank, and I know that I don't have the time to name them
all. Thank you to everyone that has helped me to get to where I am
tonight.
"But there is one person I especially have to thank. Sarah Carerra," he
said while he looked right at me. I felt myself start blushing again. "I
wouldn't be up here without you."
There was louder laughter after that comment, which only served to deepen
my blush. I guess everyone had seen the kiss.
"That kiss might not have been much, but it was like an electric shock
that restarted my dead battery," he said with a smile, even if it was a
bad metaphor. "I wish you the best in your new career and I'm glad to
call you my friend."
Music started playing, and I watched as he was escorted off the stage.
"You're a lucky girl," the lady sitting next to me said, startling me.
"He's quite the catch."

The red carpet after the show wasn't nearly as bad. Outside, the drop-off
area had been expanded and there was limo after limo parked next to the
curb, awaiting their occupants' return. Josh said our limo hadn't arrived
yet because he couldn't see our driver. I wasn't so sure that I would
have been able to pick him out of a crowd.
While we were waiting we did pose for a few more pictures, but thankfully
there were no post-win interviewers waiting for Josh to step outside. We
waited patiently for about 15 minutes before Josh saw our driver.
"Come on," he said and gently pulled me toward one of the non-descript
black limousines. "He's over there."
We were able to quickly move in the direction of the car and within five
minutes we were on our way home.
"Did you enjoy tonight?" Josh asked me.
"Yeah," I said and turned to look at him. He had that look again, the one
that hoped we could be more than just friends. He was beginning to make
me wonder too. "I had a wonderful time."
The smile on his face was bright enough to light up the interior of the
limo. I don't think I've ever seen someone get so happy at something I
had said before.
"Good," he said, but he couldn't seem to stop staring at me. I must
admit, I was having trouble looking away also.
Josh Holliday had his faults. I'd learned plenty about them tonight. But
every once in a while I would see a true human being poking around in
that big head of his. His shock at winning the Tweeny even when he was
favored to win was surprising. His caring tone after dinner and his
attention to me, at least most of the time, didn't go unnoticed either.
If this was going to happen, if we were going to be more than just
friends, he was going to have to change. And heaven knows how hard it is
to get a guy to change. But I was surprised to find that the door that I
had slammed shut earlier this evening was now cracked open. Something in
the way Josh had acted since dinner had changed my opinion of him.
I was even more surprised to learn that I was considering having a
relationship with Josh Holliday. I mean, I'd only been a girl for a week!
Even worse, I couldn't even tell him about Megan, let alone Brett. He'd
probably try to kill me if he found out the truth about me.
I think he saw the change in my face. His smile turned into a frown, and
I did not like seeing him look that way.
"I'm sorry, Sarah," he said a moment later. "I know you don't want to
take this beyond a friendship, despite how I feel about you."
Now I truly felt bad. He couldn't possibly understand the feelings and
emotions that were washing over me at the time. He could only interpret
it in one way.
"Josh," I said to him before sighing. "My life is pretty complicated
right now. There is more going on than starting a new career, and I can't
talk about it. Just believe me when I say that it isn't completely about
you. There are things I need to work out in my life before I'm ready for
a relationship like this."
His frown turned slightly upside down. I had given him some hope for the
future. I just didn't know if that was the right thing to do. I wasn't
even sure if a relationship with Josh is something I would want, even if
I was a complete girl.
"What do you want to do then?" he asked me.
I sat there for a few moments, gazing into the deep brown of his eyes.
I'd heard people talk about getting lost in someone's eyes before, but I
didn't understand it until then. Josh had his faults, but there was still
something there. Something I didn't know what to do with.
"I don't know," I told him truthfully. "There are many things about you,
Josh, that I despise. Your lack of care for Don's money, and the way you
acted at the restaurant, are just two of them. But there's something else
there too. The caring manner that you thanked your parents, and the same
way you thanked Don...I'm not sure what to believe anymore."
It looked like he was going to object to what I said, but I put my finger
to his mouth and he stopped.
"I like you, Josh, that much I know," I told him. "But like I said, this
is a difficult time for me to start something. I don't even think I'm
ready."
"Okay," he replied. "How about we take it easy and start as friends?"
I smiled at him. He couldn't have said anything better.
"Friends it is."
