When anyone including Alastor had tried to talk to a very emotional Charlie. She had gotten up from where she was and took off running up the stairs, to the elevator, and finally to her room. Slamming the door shut behind her rushing to her bed and continuing to cry. The sound of the door slamming had caught the attention of a certain King of Hell. As he was just leaving his room. Though becoming very concerned about the status of his daughter. He slowly walked over to her door and gently knocked on it. "Leave me alone!" Called out a very troubled princess.
"Sweetheart, it's your dad, is everything ok?" Lucifer called out to her in hopes she would allow him inside. A few moments went by and no response from his daughter. He was just about to turn and walk away. When the door slowly opened up, Lucifer saw just how upset his little girl was.
"Oh Charlie my dear, what happened? Do you...um want to talk about it?" Her father asked not knowing how to respond to this. Other than wanting to find the poor bastard who dares upset his daughter. Charlie nodded and opened the door, letting her dad walk in. Before she closed it and walked past him back to her bed. Lucifer sat next to her and they sat there for a few minutes.
"Well um, what happened to make you so upset Charlie?" Lucifer asked as he put his hand on her head. Slowly stroking her hair. Which in return had Charlie turning towards her father. Crashing into his chest and holding onto him as if her life depended on it. Lucifer wasn't expecting such a reaction from her but wrapped his arms around her in a protective hug. He slowly went back to stroking her hair as he whispered reassuring words.
"Charlie my dear, please tell me what has happened in the short time I was gone. What has caused you to be in such a state? Please let me help you hunny." Lucifer hugged his daughter and gently pulled away from her. So that she would look at him. Tears were still staining her face, but she nodded in agreement to explain the situation at hand.
"Dad it's Vaggie and me, we...we got into a really big fight! There were a lot of hurtful words that were used during it. Then Alastor got involved which made Vaggie even angrier. Which caused her to say more hurtful words. Which pissed off Alastor that he attacked her and tried to kill her. Then after I made him stop hurting her. She refused to have me help her. Then she left at the hotel, but not before telling me to choose between her and.....Alastor" Charlie whispered that last part, but her father heard nonetheless.
"Wow ok so yeah I missed a lot I guess" Her dad gave a slight chuckle and then put his serious face on. "So let me get this straight, you and Vaggie are currently fighting with each other, and from what I gather it involves the Radio Demon as well? Lucifer asked as he looked away from Charlie lost in his thoughts.
"Yeah I guess that covers it, Vaggie thinks that I well....love Alastor instead of her." She added which got her father's full attention now.
"Well my dear, do you love the Radio I mean Alastor?" Lucifer asked back to her. Charlie was going to answer back, but stopped herself for a moment and thought about it. Yes, she had come to the conclusion she loved him. Yet how far was the love that she felt? Was it deep enough for her to choose Alastor over Vaggie?
"Yes, I do love him, but I don't know how deep these feelings go for him. Yes, I've been with Vaggie longer and have gone through more with her." Charlie stopped talking and looked towards a picture that was of everyone together. She stared at Alastor in the picture before speaking again. "With Alastor only knowing him for a short period. Yet even with the possibility of him having any other reason for being here. Other than to help out with the hotel. He has still put so much effort into this place. Helping me try and reach my goals. Then when his life was in danger.....I couldn't think of anyone else. I was so worried about losing him from my life. Even if the times have been short." Charlie's dad took his hand under Charlie's chin and brought her back to look at him.
"My dear I do believe you have answered your question. At this point, I believe you are just afraid that he doesn't feel the same way. Which is making you second guess yourself. In hopes that you won't get hurt in the end. If his reaction to your feelings are not the same." Lucifer said giving Charlie a warm smile. He wasn't too thrilled with the idea of his precious little girl being in love with that demon. However, he also knew that he needed to be as supportive as possible for her. If that meant cheering her on with her feelings toward Alastor. Well, then he would back her up no matter what.
"Charlie hunny I will stand by you no matter the outcome of your choices. If you are in love with Alastor, I mean head over heels for him. Then I will support you know matter what. All I want is for you to be happy sweetheart. That's all a father could ask for." Charlie smiled widely at her dad and gave him the biggest hug. Lucifer smiled and returned the hug.
"Thanks for being here for me dad, I'm happy you're back in my life fully," Charlie said, which of course made her dad tear up. Lucifer gave her one last hug and then stood up.
"Well, my dear I do believe I have some business to return to. If you need anything else I am only a phone call away and I will drop everything to help you. With that, he gave her one last hug and left her room. Now Charlie had been very grateful for her father's help. She didn't know talking to him would help this much. She stood up and walked to her balcony doors, opened them, and walked outside. She sat down on one of the chairs she had out there and looked out over her city. As time went by a song came to mind and she began to sing. Letting her feelings out through song.
Charlie knew what her decision was that she had made and now the next part was going to be everything she currently wished for. Or her hopes and dreams would be crushed around her.
While she had been spending her time singing on her balcony, there had been someone who had been listening from the hallway leading up to her door. Alastor had been concerned for the princess after she fled from everyone, including him. So he was just about to knock on her door. Stopped once he started hearing her sing. He listened to every word that had come from that angelic singing voice of hers. He had stopped once he heard the part "I fell in love with the devil." Him trying to figure out who she had been singing about. Believing that there was no unholy way she could be singing about him. However, he decided to leave the princess alone and casually walked back to his room. As the song replayed in his head.
