Rose was scowling, even though she's holding a bag full of ice cubes wrapped in a towel was pressed up into her face. She was just still pissy after what happened with Valentino and how she wants to murder him now.
Rose watched as Angel paced back and forth in front of the old rusty telly, she was calming down since watching Angel paced back and forth calmed her down. She was still highly annoyed, but she kept the paper towel up to her face as it did wonders on her bruise on her cheek to the right.
Angel put his hands into his face and rubbed his face, he was almost a pinch of salt closer to losing it with Rose. He was doing good, but she didn't need to come in and go absolute ham on Valentino just because of a slap she stopped. And her biting Val as well.
Angel then looked at Rose, he was annoyed as well but not as much as her. "You shouldn't have done that Rose, I had it handled." He said, Rose's slim but thick edged eyebrows lowered on her face. "You were gonna get slapped!"
"So what?! I could take it!" Angel shouted a bit at Rose. "I can see through you." Rose growled at Angel Dust, their friendship is taking a rocky turn for the worst it seems. "I have it handled with Valentino, but he's gonna try and kill you himself now that you've hurt him more than once." Angel pointed at Rose.
Rose rolled her eyes at Angel, she could take assassinations. It was just an average day in the ball park for her, she didn't even seem fazed that an Overlord was gonna try and kill himself. Rose was more used to bullshit happening than the other way around.
------------------------------------------------
Charlie nervously smiled as she walked into the room, putting her hands on Angel's shoulders and pushing him out of the open spaced living room next to the fireplace. Charlie then nervously clapped her hands together, not sure how she was gonna do this.
"Well, it seems you two would need to calm down. Why not take a break? Just spend some time alone and take breathers, rethink about your decisions why don't you?" Charlie suggested nervously, well it was more of a "I just think this is better for the moment" kind of asking from Angel and Rose.
Angel scoffed, walking over to the fridge and taking a popsicle from the box, then he put the box of popsicles away in the fridge. As he walked to the hallway and down towards his room, Rose noticed his scowling as he did all that.
"Rose?" Charlie looked at Rose, she noticed how much calmer Rose was now. Maybe she was blank in the space and actually thinking about her actions first. Then Charlie's smile disappeared as she saw Rose scowling as she got up. "Why not take a popsicle? It'll help, I assure you."
Rose looked at Charlie, she silently walked over to the fridge as Angel did and she grabbed the box from the fridge and took out a popsicle. She put the box back, don't worry, she wouldn't melt the box of popsicles just to piss of Angel, no way.
Rose then walked over to the spiral stairs, going up and she was walking to her room, the spiral stairs connected a bit more to the straight-line bee-line staircase you'd find in a grand hotel or two-story house. Rose must've did that herself.
------------------------------------------------
Charlie sighed when Angel and Rose were no longer in the lobby, she sat down and sighed loudly. A spider demon and a hellhound sure do take out a lot of energy, that's for sure. Vaggie came over to Charlie, and she started to massage Charlie's shoulders so that she'd feel better and less tense.
"Thanks Vaggie." Charlie sat up straighter, giving Vaggie a kiss on the cheek. Vaggie was surprised but her expression softened into happiness, as the two love birds put their foreheads together and spent the remaining time relaxing in each other's presence.
Alastor crept up behind the two women, his voice breaking the peace and tranquility that was the silence of the hotel. "Okay, you two love birds. We have a job to do." Vaggie and Charlie quickly unlatched each other and sat on different ends of the couch, they didn't want their peace to be broken but they got embarrassed anyways.
"You better not do something stupid Alastor, or I swear!" Husk pointed at Al, trying to be threatening towards Alastor. But the Radio Demon shot a glare to Husker, which shut the cat demon up and he continued on with cleaning a beer bottle in wished silence.
Alastor looked towards the spiral stairs, normal stairs, that lead right up to Rose's room. He then looked back at Charlie and Vaggie, putting his arms around both of the ladies. He had something to say to the two girls, nothing important but a thing.
"You know, my face is made for radio. But I don't seem the need to try and argue with you two lovely ladies, especially with our friend Rose up in her room, watching over us I bet." Alastor looked up to Rose's golden doors that are her bedroom doors, a smile creeping onto his face as his eyes narrowed a bit.
Charlie had a feeling that Rose told Al something, since her and Vaggie had the same feeling of dread towards Rose when the three look at her door in silence. But it can't be that bad right? Well, if only Charlie knew Rose's secret.. but she doesn't..
------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile, Rose was clawing at older notes, pages, drawings of Rose's and flowers at angles. She was spilling tears as she clawed and clawed, and clawed, at everything she saw in her room. She never did stop until she cried, her wails being deep and sad as her open-window told of her story through her tears.
"Why... why... why... why did you leave me... mother?" Rose looked up at the ceiling, tears falling as she slightly wiped them away, a picture of her as a child with her mother. Her mother's face was faded out, but her mother had the most gorgeous soft and kind smile ever.
"I never thought that'd you go away so soon.." Rose huddled into a ball, her tail wrapping around her body and legs, she glanced at the picture of her and her mother again but only with her eyes looking at the picture.
"I didn't want you to die.. not like this, not today.." Rose tried to speak, but tears fell out more of her eyes. Her wolf ears were already pinned to her hair, specifically her head, as she felt more than hurt from what she heard from her father telling her. "It's gonna be hard without you.. mother.."
Rose's lips quivered, her soft eyes becoming softer, her eyebrows lowered more as she tried to stop the tears but she couldn't. She tried wiping the tears away, but they just kept coming out, she couldn't hold in the hurt.
Rose teleported her pillow into her arms, as she put her face into the pillow and cried, cried, and begged for someone to end her life. She didn't want to go through anymore pain, but that wasn't the case, she was going through more than pain at this point.
"I wish you were here, at least by my side again.. like how we used to be back then.." Rose spoke out softly, looking back up at the picture of her mother, wanting, no, needing her mother again. Like a child wanting her mother, sticking out her arms for a hug that will never come to her.. never..
