67

Angel's week at work was shit. Which was to be expected with how 'disrespectful' he's been.  Cherribomb didn't notice due to the pounds of make up on his face and the sunglasses to hide his black eye. Husk knew because, Anthony couldn't bring himself to lie. He was not doing okay mentally either.

Yesterday

Angel's first punishment was fuckin twenty five guys before he got a break. The day before, Val slammed him against the wall and his back was still sore.  He was punched, kicked, berrated.

Filming was over, an hour ago now. He was held in the air by the collar of his shirt.

"Who the fuck do you think you are?!" Val spat in his face.  "Your fuckin Blabber mouth got me in the dog house with Vox. WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU TELL HIM ANYTHING?!" He yelled just before hitting the spider.

Angel grunted and groaned in pain. Valentino threw him across the room like he was weightless but, he hit the floor hard.

"Fuck ow!" He groaned holding his shoulder.

The moth towered over him.  Yanking him back in the air.

"You're on thin fuckin ice Angelcakes! Do you fuckin understand me?! Keep your fuckin lips shut unless, you got a dick between them!" He backhanded the spider again and threw him against another wall.

Angeldust trembled in fear of the moth. His voice broke and was shakey. "Ye-yes Val." He sniffled.

"Dismissed!" Yelled the moth.

Angeldust ran out of the room and towards his dressing room.

The days prior weren't any better, between the sexual abuse, his films and the beatings his body was shot. He started believing all the insults the moth literally spat, at him. This was the fourth day in a row Angel hasn't left his room unless he was going to work. Cherri was so worried about him, especially because he never shut her out like this. If he was going to he would have just left again. At least that's what she expected. This was a new ballpark for her.

She's knocked on the door, offered him food. Half the time he took it just to make her stop worrying but, he fed the food to fat Nuggets and let Cherri think he ate. He hand texted or seen Husk since the double date and he was extremely worried but, didn't know what he could do.

The cat demon was afraid to over step a boundary but, in his head all he could think about was that Anthony relapsed. If it could be considered that when he wasn't technically clean. He was never sober for more than three days. He wasn't sober at all now. It was the only thing numbing his pain.

He was sat on his bed with some depressing ass music playing and as he smoked his most preferred drug. His door was locked Cherri couldn't get in I'd she wanted to unless she wanted to traumatize him by breaking the door. Which was our of the question.

Cherri gave him two hours from the time she ate breakfast this morning before she made a separate groupchat without Anthony in it. He still hasn't left his room.

Jordyn was the first to answer. (If only he had that energy towards group activities.)  He was the closest in proximity to Cherribomb yet he was always the last to show. He lacked time management skills......... The gargoyle lacked many skills.

Cherri made it clear she'd wait for the others to answer. Husk was in the middle of a gamble but, he answered it anyway when he saw it was a group call. Something was definitely imported it was the whole group. Cherri hated group calls cause the multiple voices were too much at once.

She made sure everyone was there. She got off her bed and shut her bedroom door just to make sure the sound didn't travel. She didn't need Angeldust knowing she was the one pulling the intervention together.
