Even you are worth dying for

Realizing one's feelings

Alastor's POV

Three hours, three long agonizing hours of everyone from the hotel was currently in Charlie's room. Once I had gone to Lucifer's door and informed him that his daughter was finally awake. He at first acted as if he didn't hear or believe me. Then once it dawned on him that I was indeed telling the truth. He had bolted down the hallway yelling "My precious little girl is awake." Loud enough that the rest of the hotel could hear. I know this, because only minutes after the King had run to Charlie. The elevator had opened with everyone else piling out of it and falling over each other as they also ran to Charlie's room. Once I had gotten there. Everyone was gathered around her bed and on her bed. Hugging her and crying with joy, with Lucifer being the most annoying one of them all. As he clung to Charlie's side crying and mumbling something to the effect of "Of Charlie I'm so glad you're awake! Please don't leave your dear father ever again!" Charlie had only laughed a little as she hugged her father back. Apologizing for making him and everyone else worry for so long. 

That was three hours ago and here we are. With me sitting in a chair in the corner of the room. Now normally I wouldn't put myself through such ungodly noise. Though now that Charlie was awake I didn't want to leave her side. So I watched as everyone was telling Charlie different events that had occurred in her absence. I could tell Charlie was enjoying herself, being with her loved ones once again. I also noticed how tired she had started getting. Once in a while she would yawn and her eyes would shut a little bit. I was surprised I was the only one to notice this. Not even her father or her annoying girlfriend seemed to take the hint that Charlie needed rest. Even though she had been unconscious for a week. her body still needed time to rest and fully recover. So with that knowledge, I took it upon myself and also the enjoyment of kicking everyone out.

Normal POV

"Now, now everyone I do believe the princess has become rather tired and needs her rest. Her body is still recovering from being out for so long. All this excitement has tuckered her out." Alastor said getting up from his spot and walking over to Charlie's bedroom door. Signaling for everyone to take their leave. Now everyone had agreed and said their goodbyes to Charlie. Telling her that they were happy she was finally back with them. All but two people that is. Both Lucifer and Vaggie were staring at Alastor with suspicion written all over their face. Yes, they understood and agreed that Charlie should rest and yet were confused as to why Alastor himself wasn't going to be leaving like the rest of them.

"Please do tell me why we all must leave and you are staying?" Lucifer asked as he stood up and crossed his arms. Glaring at the now sinister grinning Radio Demon

"I'm her girlfriend and if anyone should be staying it should be me. Not you, you shit lord! You're the reason Charlie even got hurt in the first place!" Vaggie said with each word coming out like venom.

"Vaggie! Don't talk to him like that!" Charlie yelled grabbing onto Vaggie's arm. Stopping her from going at Alastor. Alastor just looked at her as he could feel his demonic power slowly starting to rise. 

"Vaggie! Alastor wasn't the reason I was hurt and you know it! Adam was the one who was attacking him and I protected Alastor from possibly dying!" Charlie was trying to get through to Vaggie so she wouldn't be upset with him. Sadly her plan in a way worked. She had only made Vaggie turn on her instead. 

"Exactly Charlie! You left everyone who was fighting and ran to protect that demonic fucking overlord! You left...me to go and save him." Vaggie's voice turned to a whisper and she removed Charlie's hand from her arm and stood up. 

"Why Charlie? Please explain why you left us to save him." She turned and pointed towards Alastor. Who was starting to become very irritable with every word coming from her mouth. 

"Vag....I" Charlie looked at Vaggie, her father and then her eyes fell onto Alastor. Who calmed down and returned the look. 

"Vaggie I knew that you and everyone had everything under control. I had made sure of it as I ran towards the hotel to Alastor. For the reason why I did it? Well, it's because....I....care about him. I couldn't let him die. Not when If I could go and help or save him I would. Charlie had tears starting to form in her eyes. She honestly didn't believe she did anything wrong. Yet she and Vaggie were now arguing over her actions. Vaggie's eyes went wide with disbelief after hearing Charlie's words.

"Wait you mean to tell me that you care for that shit lord?! Charlie what in all the 9 circles of hell would make you care for the likes of someone like him?!" Vaggie yelled as she grabbed both of Charlie's arms a shook her. Hoping to knock some sense into her. At this point, Alastor had seen enough. Charlie was now crying and he needed to put an end to this nonsense. He walked over to Vaggie and took her by the arm. Which surprised her enough to let go of her grip on Charlie and started to lead her to the door.

"I think it would do you some good to leave right now. Before I do something that will greatly upset my dear demon belle." He said as he pushed her out and slammed the door in her face. Before she was able to get another word in. 

Lucifer had been quiet during the argument, waiting for the right time to chime in. Now was as good a time as ever.

"Charlie, sweetheart I may not understand exactly why you would care for the Radio Demon. Enough that you would be willing to sacrifice your own life for his." Lucifer walked over to Charlie and put his hand on her shoulder. "What I do know is that you have always followed your heart and once you put your mind to something. There's no stopping you or convincing you otherwise." Lucifer hugged his daughter and stood up. Looked at her and turned to look at Alastor and sighed. "As I said before when I first came to this hotel. I will support your dreams whatever lies in store. I wasn't lying when I spoke those words. I will not lose you again Charlie, I just want you to be safe and happy." With that, he kissed Charlie on her forehead and then walked to the door. Stopping right next to Alastor before leaving. 

"If you hurt my little girl, I will make you wish It had been you that Adam had struck. Do I make myself clear?" Lucifer said while glancing in Alastor's direction.

"Crystal your Highness, I would never dream to hurt Charlie," Alastor said returning the same glare. Lucifer nodded and then walked out of the room. Closing the door behind him and leaving the two alone. 

"Charlie my dear I." Alastor stopped talking as Charlie put up her hand hinting at him to be quiet.

"Alastor for....for now could you just please leave me alone? I...I need some time to think and I want to be by myself." Charlie said lowering her hand and refusing to make eye contact with Alastor. Now Alastor would admit that he was taken by surprise at this sudden request, but recovered rather quickly. 

"If that's what you desire my dear then I will do as requested. If you need anything, please feel free to call me." He said as he turned around and opened the door to leave. Giving the princess one more concerned look and then left. Closing the door behind him and retreating to his room. 

Charlie was finally alone with her thoughts and her mind was racing. She had given the very reason to save Alastor and put her life on the line. Though it was as if she was trying to admit something to herself. She thought about it more and more. Reliving memories of when Alastor first appeared at the Hazbin Hotel. Yes, things had started to a rough start. Though she had been grateful for everything Alastor had helped her accomplish while staying there. Even up to right before the battle and during the battle. Recalling the feeling she had when the barrier had been broken. When she watched Adam fly over to where Alastor had been staying. The feeling she had as she ran up all those stairs to him. Having the constant fear that she would not make it in time. To when she had flung the roof's door wide open and the horrified feeling she had as she witnessed Alastor being attacked. Even as she ran to him and blocked the attack that would have possibly killed him and could have killed her. After all that she finally realized something. Which brought more tears to her eyes. 

"I'm in love with Alastor." She said to no one but herself and with that she fell backwards onto her pillows and stared at the ceiling. Letting her new realization go through her mind over and over again. 

"I'm so fucked" with that she fell asleep.
