It took a lot of effort to get this following section out.
"When I returned to the Uk, I was placed in a foster home for approximately a week before my previous foster parents began abusing me. That went on until Uncle Bj found me and adopted me. The abuse was so severe that when I was ten years old, I started with schizophrenia and PTSD. When I was 12, I was finally diagnosed. If it weren't for him, I'd be dead." Remus sighed and wiped the tears from his cheeks with his hand . Delia was stunned and on the verge of tears. She embraced him because she felt bad that he had to cope with it while he was so young.
"Really? Did he actually do that?" Barbara inquired, her voice uncertain. They all turned to gaze at the demon's expression as Remus nodded. It demonstrated that he was, in reality, a transformed demon. Adam sighed as he released the demon's shackles. They were still wary, so they kept a safe space between them and kept the cuffs on him. Remus and Betelgeuse clasped like father and son, and all watched with little smiles on their cheeks.
"All right, Mr. Juice-"
"Please call me Beej or BJ, Chuck." Betelgeuse chimed in.
"I'm not going to say your name. I refuse." Charles stated categorically.
"That's all right. I understand that you need time to recover after what I did here. I understand. Sorry for the inconvenience.". Charles squinted his eyes at Betelgeuse as he spoke slowly. "Oh, don't be so astonished!" Betelgeuse cracked a wry grin.
"However, why shouldn't I be? Have you ever publicly apologised?" The only live adult guy inquired.
"Well, for starters, ouch, that was rather impolite of you. And two, I already have." Betelgeuse put his palm where his heart should have been, some of his hair to become blue, which he quickly fixed.
"I'm sorry, I didn't anticipate that." He confessed.
"No one ever does, but that's all right. Hey, while you and the rest of the gang-"
"The gang?" Adam's brows furrowed.
"Yeah. You guys?" Adam couldn't help but snicker as Betelgeuse explained. "What?"
"Do you honestly believe we'll just allow you back inside the house?"
"Without a doubt you are not welcome here." Barbara informed him.
"Who said anything about me staying here?" With a cock of his head, Betelgeuse inquired.
"I'm only stating the obvious.". Betelgeuse let out an overly theatrical moan as Adam told him.
"Fine! At the very least, you should allow me to explain why I came here in the first place." He was adamant.
"All right!" Adam exclaimed.
"Well? We're waiting." Barbara expressed her dissatisfaction with the situation.
"Does it appear like I'm concerned?" cynically, the demon inquired, sighed and rolled his eyes.
"No way. I was only thinking you would want to impress someone with a tale about you being in trouble and needing our help to get out."
"You already know that's not the case. But I'm sure there's something that would impress you." Betelgeuse sighed and purred.
"I'm not sure I'm interested in knowing the answer to that." Adam spoke to himself carefully.
"You've already guessed what I'm about to say. But it's something I'd be pleased to say anyhow."
"I'm not interested." Adam shook his head .
"Guys, may I ask you a question? Well, there are two questions." Betelgeuse shrugged his shoulders anxiously, plucking at his nails.
