[Chazz has never liked Yubel, never. They were always "that bitch from work" to him, and the distaste only managed to get worse when they were dating Jaden after he and Jaden broke it off. Or, he broke it off with Jaden, but he didn't really want to; he thought it would be better for the kids to not have their dads dating when they already were, and if there's anyone Chazz loves more than Jaden, it's Matthew. So, he took his passive place in standing by while having to watch Yubel make off with his man everyday, and the alcohol in his water bottle was starting to help less and less as time went on.]

[Then everyone in the store received wedding invitations, and Chazz at first sneered at the lacy-edged card taped to this door, but that changed completely when he read it. He left work early, locked himself in his room, threw shit around and screamed, and drank until it was time to sober up enough to go pick Matthew up from school, only to remember Matthew had his own car, he was 16 and drove himself home, didn't need his dad to come get him anymore. In retrospect he might have handled the announcement that Jaden and Yubel were getting married poorly, but he didn't know what else to do. Back at work the following days, Jaden wouldn't really look at him, but that wasn't too big of a change, it just hurt a lot more, now. He thought he was fine, really, but eventually the time came to explain to Matthew why he was drinking more carelessly now, why he clung onto Matthew so suddenly by asking him if he needed a ride anywhere, do you need help with homework, do you have any science projects to build, and Chazz broke while telling him just six words: Jaden and Yubel are getting married.]

[It's been a few months since then, and Chazz is sick to his stomach in his Armani suit and tie in the hallway of the church. He keeps going for the flask in his inside-jacket pocket, only to take a swig and be met with sour lemonade, Matt's attempted solution to at least try to take care of the "burns so good" aspect of Chazz's bad habits. It...doesn't really work, but it's all Chazz has so he'll have to go with it. He's peeked at the aisle, at all the decorations and people and Yubel standing at the end; no doubt they intend for symbolism in having Jaden come to them, and it makes Chazz's blood boil. He took a glance at where Matthew is sitting in the front row, no doubt in anticipation seeing that his father is still missing from the room and Kris is the one to escort Jaden down the aisle while doubling as flower girl/ring bearer. Chazz sighs; he's talked with Matthew about this a little, and with Kris, too, and they seem to be of the same opinion of "who cares if the dads are dating, too, Yubel is 10x worse for him" as he is right now.]

[So this is where he finds himself, following the small trail of friends to where Jaden is being prepped. He smiles to himself, they're probably trying to make Jaden's hair cooperate with their styling, but it's too wild and free and ornery to be more than a little brushed, and Chazz has fond memories of being frustrated with Jaden's bedhead that wouldn't be tamed. He sighs and stops stone cold when he arrives at a small room when he hears Jaden's voice coming from it. This...this is it. This is where he either wishes Jaden a happy life or tries to take him back or at least makes him leave. His heart is pounding harshly against his chest, and his hand is shaking while he grabs his flask of lemonade, downs the whole thing. He straightens up his suit, his tie, smooths his hair...fusses and fidgets while he tries to delay this confrontation. There are other people in there, likely including Kris in that dress Matthew was so smitten over, and...]

[And he doesn't give a fuck anymore.]

[He opens the door without knocking, sees that yes, there's a stylist attempting to tame Jaden's hair but is looking rather flustered about the whole ordeal, and there's Kris sitting in a chair with her flower basket. There's also a few extra people, likely the make-up and photographers, and they all look up at him and Chazz's breath catches when he sees himself in the mirror, because Jaden is facing it, too, and god he hasn't had a proper view of him in a long time. He swallows thickly, he's shaking, but he clenches the doorknob so tight his knuckles turn white.]

Jaden, please.

[Well that wasn't all he wanted to say, but he's said it all so much in his head that it feels like he's shouted from the mountains his pleas for Jaden to stop this, to reconsider, to get away from that demon of a human being, break away from that bitch from work, go home or come home. It all melted down into his one plea, and his voice was broken and showed much more emotion than he intended. This pretty much how all his plans go, it seems, built up with all this planning only for the moment to come down to the raw desperation.]
