3rd Person POV

Lucifer and Alastor are laughing at how Adam went to his room with his tail between his legs. Everyone thinks it's funny but one person, Charlie,. She has sorrow in her eyes. "Charlie, whats wrong, my dear?" Alastor gently makes her look at him. "that was mean. Grandpa shouldn't have done that." "my dear, he deserved it. Has been an ass his whole life." "what if you were sent here while dad was in heaven, knowing you could never see him again and then someone did what god did.. Remind you of that fact." Alastor goes silent for a moment "yes but-" "the whole point of this is to get people to heaven to give them a second chance! We have gotten so many souls to heaven! Why should we stop with him!" "Hun, your grandfather doesnt want him there." "then we should make this home if he has no other option! He needs somewhere to go. You were worse than his father. And now you're not. Because you have a family."

Alastor sighs deeply: "your compassion is an amazing thing, my dear. Fine. We will try, but I can't promise anything. Especially if he tries to hurt anyone. Then-" Alastor is cut off but Zere says, "Rawrrrr, scary daddy!" Alastor laughs. "he gets the idea!" everyone laughs at Zere being adorable. Charlie smiles and says, Thanks, I promise i'm going to try really, really hard to get him to be better! Starting now! Can i have your phone?" Alastor gives it to her, confused Charlie marches off to his room. She stands at the door, nervous, takes a deep breath, then knocks, "fuck off!" "hey Adam, I have something for you." "i said fuck off!" "Please, it will make you feel better!" Adam spings the door open, mad "what don't you understand by fucking off!? Do i need to say it in a different language!?" Charlie holds out Alastors phone "i have a phone already, dipshit," "but you don't have a phone that can call heaven." Adam goes silent and looks at her. "its Alastors phone; since he's king of hell, he can call heaven and i got it from him cause i thought maybe you wanted to call Lute."

Adam stares at the phone He goes to say something but nothing comes out. "call her Adam, i.e. I can't imagine your pain. My girlfriend is here with me. You have been an asshole. A major one but.. Nobody deserves to be forced away from someone they care about. Call her and give the phone back to my father when you're done, okay?" "we aren't dating." Adam doesn't look at her. "I never told her how I felt. I was always up my own ass. I never" she puts the phone in his hand and says, "the password is 042522." She walks away. Adam slowly closes the door while sitting on his bed. He knows her number by heart so he unlocks the phone and slowly puts the number in. He takes a deep breath, looking up, tears threatening to escape. He hits the call button and puts the phone up to his ear. It rings once, twice and then on the third, she answers.

"Why is the king of Hell calling me? I didn't do anything, you ass." Adam smiles at the sound of her voice. "hey lute, its Adam, i'm just using Alastors phone." There is a small thud like she dropped the phone a long silence, then scrambling as she picks the phone up again. "is it really you?" "Yeah, danger tits it's me." "you're alive..?" her voice cracks very slightly. "yeah.. Im in hell, When i was killed, i just appeared here and ive been at this fucking hotel trying to get back.. But its not going to work. God himself told me he doesn't want me there anymore, so I mainly called to say, I'm sorry." "sorry..?" "for being an asshole.. For treating you like shit all the time... for everything I've said that I know hurts you. For never telling you how i felt... about you... about Us." "adam.." "Lute, I've liked you for A long time, since before you joined my army. I liked when we would sit on that room and drink and talk. You're the only reason heaven. I felt like heaven." there's silence. "i should go. Thanks for talking with me again. Stay safe, okay? Enjoy a drink for me." he hangs up right as she goes to say something. He takes a hitched breath as the tears that have been treating him finally overflow, falling down his cheeks.

He grips the phone, imagining what the sensation of hugging her felt like, but it's been so long he can't remember. He wipes his face, trying to compose himself but the tears won't stop, He curls up on the bed and gives up trying to make them stop. He lays there softly, sobbing into the bed. When he finally composes himself, he gets up, wipes his face, blows his nose, then puts his mask back on. Takes a couple deep breaths, then goes to Alastor downstairs. Alastor is reading a story to Zere. "hey." Alastor looks up "i um. Thanks." Adam holds the phone out. Alastor takes the phone, making it disappear. "who did you call?" "nobody." "if it was heaven, i need to record it so they think it was me." "I called Lute." "That's all i needed to know; if you want to call her again, let me know, i'm not on my phone very often so it is usually open to use, as is Lucifers." Adam nods, then walks away without saying another word.
