-CHARLIE'S POV-

Angel's been out for hours now.. I know he's been out late but this is different, The way he acted.. was strange. And he just left! I told the others to look for him.. Even Vaggie agreed.. which is surprising for her despite her hate for Angel.

He said he was going out with Cherri..
But.. you don't act like that when you go out to see a friend..Someone you trust.

He would of told us.. would he?
Please.. Angel.. come back.. Something is not right.. And it's not just a few difficult clients!

-ANGEL'S POV-
I was walking back to the hotel, I know I was out late today so they would most likely be asleep so He snuck back in, covering myself in my hoodie.

I opened my bedroom door and shut it quietly before leaning up to the wall and sliding onto the floor. I didn't bother brushing out my hair or fluff or taking care of myself, I just sat there and cried. I cried like I've never cried before. Obviously this caught someone's attention, And I managed to pull myself together.

"Angel..? Are you in here?" Charlie's concerned voice just made everything worse, My head and my body ached.
"Yeah." I said,on the verge of tears.

"I'm just checking if your okay! You got home pretty late today.." She stated.

"Im fine don't worry!!" I responded softly.

Oh but I wasn't fine, I was way worse then "fine".
Fine was only a lie, a coverup. A coverup so nobody would get scared of my health or wellbeing.
I opened my drawer, taking out some unopened drug. A type of painkiller. I've been drug free for weeks due to Charlie's work.. but one couldn't hurt. I sighed and took it, collapsing into my bed.

Life may be hard.. but the afterlife is worse.
