Broken Lovers

Four

A few weeks went by, Angel's been coming home with less and less injuries until today. Friday.

Friday's were Hell for Angeldust. For some reason Fridays pissed Val off, and he made it everyone else's problem. Especially Angeldust's. There was no way he was walking, back to the today. He got in touch with Charlie, to have the limo come pick him up. He left the building in a huff. Wiping the tears away before they even dared to spill. He waited outside on a bench for ten to fifteen minutes. When the limo arrived he got in and slumped onto the back seat.

When he arrived at the hotel he walked in and went right up to his room. Very unusual for the spider. Husker decided not to question it because he was on shift and he didn't want to deal with Alastor's bullshit right now. Angeldust didn't want to be perseved tonight. Not after everything he went through at the studio. If he goes to work tomorrow Valentino is lucky, cause he's definitely not alright.

Angeldust got to his room his pig was very excited to see him but he dismissed the lil guy, collapsing on the bed.

"Sorry Nuggets I'm not in the mood to play." He sighed. The piglet hopped into the bed and curled up next to his owner. Angeldust cried himself to sleep that night.

Charlie and Vaggy sat at the bar, ordered a couple drinks from Husk and went on their merry way just five minutes before Husker locked up.

Husker walked past Angel's room on the way to his own hearing light snoring as he walked on by and into his room.

The next morning Angeldust woke up to a horn blaring. Well everyone woke up to a horn blaring. Charlie, Vaggy Husk and Angeldust all walked out of their rooms covering their ears and going down the stairs to try and find where this invasive noise was coming from.

Of course it was Alastor's.

"What the fuck man!" Angeldust yelled. "It's not even six yet!"

"I need booze." Husker unlocked the bar and grabbed himself a bottle.

"Care to explain why you woke us all up at the ass crack of dawn?" Vaggy asked.

"For the fun of seeing your miserable faces, of course!" He cheered.

Husker facepalmed, Vaggy's eye twitched with anger.

"Hon can I please kill him?" She asked the princess.

"No. But if he does this shit again I might consider it." Charlie stated with a yawn. Everyone went back upstairs to sleep for just a little while longer.

Everyone made there way back downstairs between ten and ten thirty. Except, Angeldust. Husk poured the girls and Alastor drinks as he drank from his own bottle.

Angeldust made his way downstairs a little after Eleven. He sat at the bar like usual but he kept his head down. He covered up the bruises as good as he could but some of the darker ones still peaked through so he hid them with his body language too.

"Whatcha do when you're not tending the bar?" Angeldust asked.

"What part of Seven days a week you don't understand?" Husker asked.

"Okay, what did you do before Alastor asked you to be here?" Angeldust reiterated.

"I own a casino."

"No way!" Angeldust didn't buy it.

"It's true. My brother's taken over while I'm here." Husker explained.

"You'll have to take me there one day." Angeldust insisted.

"We'll see." Husker took a long swig from the bottle.

Angeldust was avoiding eye contact. Husker was catching on now. The spider was hiding something.

"What about you, what you do when you're not working or harassing me?"

"I go out with my friend Cherri on occasion."

"They a whore too?" Husker asked sipping his booze.

"No. She's more into distruction and terf wars." Angeldust stated.

"Cherribomb?" Husker asked.

"You've heard of her?"

"You were on the 666 news with her the first day you stayed here?"

"Yep that's her."

Husker rolled his eyes, chugging the rest of his booze and opening another bottle.

"I've heard of chain smoking but God damn. You're chain drinking." Angeldust chuckled.

"Yeah, yeah. What doesn't kill ya, makes the after-life easier to deal with." Husker sighed.

Husker managed the bar and Angeldust wandered off into some other part of the hotel. Angeldust left his phone at the bar though. It started buzzing a ridiculous amount of times. Husk didn't touch it tho, wasn't his place.

Angeldust came back realizing he left his phone. He unlocked it and saw all the foul messages from Val. "Fuck!" He yelled running out of the hotel. "Don't miss me Husk!"

Husker rolled his eyes, drinking his booze.
