The picture doesn't match how I want it to. But it's the best I've been able to find

Plot
Charlies way to relieve stress and frustrations.

S/H warning

Charlie walked into her room with a groan of frustration and closed her door a little aggressively as it lightly slammed shut. She walked over to the bed and sat down and put her head down into her hands. She was having a terrible day, Angel was being especially unruly today and spinning out of control again, Husker wasn't helping the situation any. Vaggie kept trying to urge her to call her dad for help, the meeting With Adam had failed and Alastor was no where to be seen and it was starting to pile up on her. Charlie let out a soft shuddering breath as she was working on keeping her anger and frustrations under control right now, thinking happy thoughts and stuff only to have them come full circle back to her disastrous day she was having. The hotel has been opened for almost a year now and she hasn't even got 1 person redeemed!
Charlie raised her head up and took a deep breath before she saw her diary on her nightstand. She had no intentions in writing on it until tonight like normal, but seeing the diary and her decorative knife beside it, she remembered back to when she was still with her dad. She recalled the cuts along his arms and body to relieve stress and anger he had built up inside of him. Looking at it for a moment she reached down and rolled up her left sleeve to her elbow before reaching over and grabbing the knife.
For a moment she just stood there wondering if she should actually do this, before she pushed it down onto her wrist and gave a light slice acrossed it. Wincing a little at the stinging pain she watched at the golden blood started to ooze from the newly formed cut. And in a blink, the stinging was gone and...it felt good. For the first time all day Charlie found herself smiling, the frustrations and stuff was fading away as she sat there focusing on the cut. She sat there for a moment before slicing again in a different spot, the stinging pain was there again but quickly replaced with a new high, even better than the first one, Charlie was quickly becoming addicted to the relief she was feeling as she sliced the 3rd time. Going a little deeper with more pressure, the pain was higher but so was the reward at the end. She looked at her arm with the 3 new slices on it. The blood oozing out of them and now running down her arm and dripping onto her pants leg now. She would normally be terrified of all the blood, but in this moment she was actually happy. Finally not having the thoughts of her day replying in her head.
"No wonder dad use to do this" she said to herself as she looked over at her other arm now. Waisting no time she rolled up her other sleeve and started to slice away at her pale skin, dragging the blade through slowly so she could feel it cutting down through her skin and watch the blood starting to flow back up and out of the fresh cuts, it wasn't that long before both her arms were full of cuts and coated in a layer of golden blood that was dripping down and soaking through her pants now, amd yet as Charlie laid there on the bed with her arms resting on her stomach. She felt absolutely no pain, she felt relieved, cleared head and it was wonderful compared to all the anger and frustrations she had just 30 minutes ago. she was a bit paler then normal but otherwise felt fine, not like she would've thought, but not like she really cared right now either. Looking over at the clock she sighed some as it was near dinner time. Rolling her white sleeves back down over the blood. She watched as it started to soak through some, she sat up on the bed before standing, getting a little light headed and feeling the floor spin some she groaned softly as she grabbed onto the corner of the bed for support. Standing there for a little and breathing she managed to calm everything down before moving over to her closet and grabbing a coat to put on over her shirt to hide the blood soaking through her white shirt, she didn't want to clean it off or anything for now. She just wanted to eat a couple bites and retreat back to her room and be away from everyone right now. Opening the door and making her way down the hallway, she was not as stable as she normally was as she swayed around some, her skin was turning more pale as her cuts where still bleeding due to not wrapping them. She made her way into the kitchen where everyone was moving around and getting their food before she saw Vaggie with a plate and stopping as she looked up and smiled.
"There you are babe, I was about to bring a plate of food up for you" Charlie didn't say anything just nodded as she moved and sat down at the table where vaggie moved and put the plate down for her.
"You okay?" She asked sensing she was a little off.
"Has anyone seen Alastor" she asked completely blowing Vaggie off. All she got in response was a bunch of head shakes. Seeing this Charlie sighed some as she sunk into her seat a bit as her fork only poked her food. Not actually getting anything to eat before the door opened as he walked inside, heading over to the table he sat down as he waved a hand and had his tentacles get himself a plate of food.
"And where have you been Alastor..." Charlie asked not even looking at him right now, her mood was already foul and not getting any better, it was like she was the only one who cared about this idea.
"Ah I was out visiting friends. Enjoying the weather. Typical stuff" he said with his usual smile before Charlie looked at him.
"Instead of being here helping with the hotel.." She said in a bit of a cold tone, which took Al by surprise as his comeback stopped and he looked at Charlie now.
"My dear, you know I don't believe in this silly idea, I'm here for the chaos" he said with a hum and a smile before Angel chimed in.
"So we don't even have to be here?" He asked with a laugh.
"I could've been high this whole time and not wasted on cheap booze" all the others soon chimed in and like normal Charlie was left out and not being listened to.
"You need to call your dad" she heard Vaggie say again...and that was the last strand her straw had in it before breaking. Charlie's eyes glowed red and she brought her fist down onto the table breaking a big section off of it and making all the other plates rattle ontop of it as everyone froze and stared at her.
"WHY!?" She shouted at Vaggie who winced and leaned back at her volume.
"Because you think I cant handle this on my own!" She continued to shout, as she stood up and shoved her chair out of the way. She had all she could handle and they was going to get it, both barrels.
"I work my ass off trying to get my dreams to come true, and what do I get in return, a girlfriend who doubts me, and a staff who could give 2 shits about this hotel and my idea, if you don't believe in it then get your stuff and get the fuck out of here, because I am done with this, don't bother me anymore tonight" she said before she stormed off from the kitchen leaving everyone there completely stunned.
"Has...anyone ever seen her act like that before?" Husk asked after a moment of silence.
"Ive..never even heard her cuss before" Vaggie said now as she looked down at the table.
"Lets...let her cool off, and we'll talk with her in the morning about it all, she has a point, none of us act like we care about her idea..and..she thinks I dont believe in her anymore" Vaggie said as she wiped away small tear away.
Back in her room Charlie had her head down in her hands as she sat there crying. She wasn't asking for much just them to help out here and there and actually care about this place. After a few moment she finally collected herself enough to pull her jacket back off and roll her sleeves up. all the stress and adrenaline from yelling had made her cuts start to bleed even more, and as she sat there looking at it, and the adrenaline starting to wear off. She was getting extremely light headed, she tried to fight it but soon her world turned black and she landed on the floor with a thud, and her cuts still bleeding..





....I didn't plan on going this far but it just kept coming out of me.
I think this is going to be a 2 pt series though.
Or leave it hanging?
