This chapter starts on the following morning at 2:15 AM

Y/n pov
I shot awake drenched in a cold sweat and felt sore all over my body. I then recalled yesterday's events and I was in disbelief. I started to internally panic and start trembling in fear. I-I-I lost...no it must've ended up in at least a draw. F-F-Father must s-still b-be proud r-r-right." I shakily got up and made my way over to the bathroom and splashed water on my face. I looked in the mirror and seen I had a black eye and my face was swollen. The horror fully set in and I said "I-I lost...n-no this m-must be a nightmare." Anger started flowing through my body and a balled up my fists and brought them down destroying the sink and I shouted angrily "I AM NOT WWEEAAKKK!!!" I immediately heard multiple doors open and heard my door start to be pounded on and Charlie shouting "Y/N WHAT'S HAPPENING!!!"

I felt like my reflection was laughing at me and I punched the mirror launching shattered pieces of glass all over and suffering multiple cuts from the glass being launched. I heard my door be kicked open and I went to punch the wall until someone grabbed my arms and heard Angel yell "CALM DOWN MAN!" I suddenly swung my dominant leg out in front of me and let it swing back like a pendulum dropping all my weight behind it and heard the crunch of something. I was instantly let go and heard Angel let out a high pitched scream followed by a loud thud. I then felt Vaggie put her hand on my shoulder and say "I understand how you're feeling...BUT lashing out is doing more harm than good alright. Being defeated doesn't consider you weak. It shows you exactly where to improve your strength. I can tell that you're afraid of dishonoring your father's name but you always have to remember even the strongest became that way through trial and error." I then spun around and yelled "YOU DON'T KNOW SHIT ABOUT ME VAGGIE! I CAN NEVER MAKE THINGS RIGHT WITH THOSE ANGELIC BASTARDS THAT TORE MY ENTIRE FAMILY APART! I WANT TO FREE MY FATHER FROM THE PRISON HE WAS PUT IN AND IF I CAN'T WIN ONE MEASLY FIGHT AGAINST A FEMALE...THEN I'LL NEVER BE ABLE TO ACHIEVE MY END GOAL!" I turned away and punched the wall in frustration and sadly said "You have no idea on how much it means for me to free my father...so don't act like you know everything about me until you were forced to survive like I was."

I then swat her hand off my shoulder and said "Now I'll like all of you to leave my room." Charlie was about to say something until I raised my hand and said "Save it for later Charlie." I couldn't face them and I started to hear them leave one after another until there was silence. I felt sick with myself and vomited into the toilet. After a few moments I walked back to my bed and cuddled up. I then whispered "This isn't something that can just be fixed with a hug or anything like that Charlie."

Outside Y/n's door

When I heard Y/n whisper that I wouldn't be able to help him. It felt like my heart dropped to my feet. I let out a sigh and walked over to my room and lost all motivation to do anything today. I texted my mother for advice but I probably won't receive a response till later. I began to fall into a troubled slumber.

Timeskio 2 hours

Charlie pov (still)
I felt someone lightly shaking me and heard someone whisper "Charlie...are you awake at all." I turned over and was shaken a bit rougher. I slowly opened my eyes and seen it was Y/n with a tear stained face. I groggily sat up and tiredly asked "Huh...are you ok Y/n?" I seen him shake his head no and whispered "I'm sorry for waking you but can you come over to my room please?" I nodded and I watched him disappear right before my eyes. Was that a dream? Even if it is I should still check on him." I slowly got out of bed and made my way over to his room. I checked inside and my eyes shot open because Y/n was sobbing in his sleep and couldn't stop moving. I entered his room and shut his door behind me and locking it. I made my way over and heard Y/n repeatedly saying that he's sorry between sobs. Must be a nightmare. Is the Y/n that woke me up one of those Astral Projections I read about once. I sat next to him and soothingly rub his arm until he immediately pulled me down next to him and clung desperately onto me while he kept apologizing. I gently ran my fingers through his hair and he eventually started to calm down and sleep peacefully.

I went to go back to my bedroom but he had a firm hold on my shirt and started to plead me to not leave him. I gave in and laid back down next to him at which he hugged me tightly as if he was scared that I'll disappear forever on him if he would let go of me. I gently hugged him back and after what felt like forever I felt him begin to loosen his grip on me. It then occurred to me that he hasn't ever been truly alone until he first entered hell and he's terrified of that. He always had his father around him just until a few days ago. That's probably why he told me a few days ago that sleep is irrelevant to him...It was actually because he was trying to find something to keep him awake. I decided to stay by his side for the rest of the night.

Timeskip till 10 AM

I slowly opened my eyes and seen Y/n looking up at me. I then embraced him a bit tighter and softly yet quietly asked "Are you feeling any better?" He nodded and returned to leaning into my embrace. I can tell that he really needed this. He just kept quiet as I held him in my arms. I found it cute that Y/n has such a side to him.

I stopped embracing him and went to get up but noticed he was holding onto the back of my shirt. I heard him quietly ask "Uhh...Charlie?" I turned to him and he shook his head and said "Just forget that I said anything." He let go of me and put his hands in his lap and looked down. I could tell he wanted to say something but quickly changed his mind." I sat back down next to him and said "Y/n...what did you want to say?" I watched him turn away, bring his knees to his chest, and hugged them. I then heard him say "Just forget that I said anything...it would sound stupid anyways." I then hugged him from behind and softly said in his ear "Y/n...talk to me please. I don't know how to help you if you don't talk to me...so please talk to me."

Y/n pov
I was still shaken from the nightmares last night that I was afraid that if I told her. She'll just laugh at my childish fears and not take me seriously. I rarely have nightmares but last night's dream shook me to my very core. I felt Charlie get up and I immediately panicked and said "PLEASE DON'T LEAVE! I'LL TALK...JUST PLEASE DON'T LEAVE!" I felt tears starting to stream down my face. Charlie came over and sat down and I wrapped her into a tight hug and clung desperately onto her." I felt her rub my back soothingly. After a while I calmed down and quietly said "I...I had a nightmare that scared me beyond belief. PLEASE DON'T JUDGE ME! I UNDERSTAND THAT I-" Charlie cut me off by putting her finger on my lips which instantly shut me up. She then quietly said "I wouldn't ever judge anyone Y/n. Quit thinking that you're weak
Y/n because you're by far...the strongest person I have ever gotten a chance to meet. Tell me about what happened in that nightmare. I was still scared to tell her which I knew she can tell.

I felt her cup my cheek with her left hand and gently caressed it while quietly said "Look at me." I couldn't even turn my head at which she gently turned my face to face her and when we made eye contact a wave of ease flooded through my body. She then said "Start whenever you're ready alright?" I nodded and after a few moments I laid my head against her chest and quietly explained "Last night when I was dreaming I found myself walking in pitch darkness. I tried shouting for my father, you, Vaggie, everyone I could think of, and even him...but no one would answer besides my own echos. I f-felt like everyone abandoned me and I was alone...TRULY alone. I never felt so frightened in my entire life.

I then continued "I don't know when you came in here last night but I remember at some point during that nightmare I ran into you and you hugged me and I started sobbing but yet you didn't push me away or anything. I...felt safe, comfortable, and warm when you held me." I then looked down and softly said "I'm truly sorry...for any problems I may have caused you these past few days. Is there anything I can do to make it up to you?" I looked down feeling ashamed as a few tears fell from my face. Why am I such a weakling. My father would be ashamed if he seen me right now.

I watched tears fall from his face onto his lap and he had his hands clutching his shorts. It seems like I was correct. He's afraid of being on his own and it makes sense on why he was sobbing uncontrollably when I found him last night. He always had someone by his side...but that someone (his father) is gone. He is practically a child in the body of an adult since he lived in a desolated desert with absolutely nothing his entire life up until a few days ago. I should probably ask my mother about who Azazel was. If I can know a bit more about who he is. I might have a way to help Y/n through these fears. I would bring
Y/n to help...but it may be best to talk to divide and conquer this time.
