S/H warning in this book
Vaggie walked around the lobby as the others sat on the couch waiting on Charlie to come down from her room. Vaggie even slept in a different room last night, giving Charlie her space to cool off. None of them really slept last night. Charlie's meltdown replaying In their heads as they also thought of how they took advantage of Charlie's kindness and didn't help her with her own dreams, yet she went out of the way to help them with theirs.
"Its been 2 hours, she's never this late" Vaggie said as she continued to pace around the room.
"Relax moth, I'm sure she will come down when she's ready" Alastor said from the couch as he took a sip of his tea. He wasn't proud of how things went last night, and like them he did stay up contemplating how to go about fixing things with Charlie this morning. After about 20 minutes of waiting Vaggie couldn't take anymore.
"Im going to go and check on her" she said as she walked out of the lobby towards the elevator, hitting the button for the 5th floor she was on her way up to their room. She walked over to the door and knocked on it.
"Charlie?" She asked, after not getting a response she knocked on the door, she waited for another moment before she grabbed the door handle and twisted in and pushed the door open slowly, she took note of how all the lights where on in the room and everything so she wasn't sure what was going on.
"Babe...you in here?" She asked as she stepped in the room looking around, catching a quick glimpse of a hand in the floor. She moved around and froze at the sight that met her eyes. In the floor laid her beloved girlfriend...her Charlie.
Her jacket was halfway off the bed and her arms were cut and covered in blood...and..there was just so much of it soaking the floor around her. Vaggies brain faltered as she just stared for a moment at the horrific sight in front of her before she slowly started to step closer.
"...char....Charlie..." She said softly as she moved over and got down on the floor beside her, she grabbed her arm and the first thing she noticed was it was cool to the touch, not cold, but definitely not warm, And she was barely able to feel a pulse as she grabbed onto Charlie's wrist. She finally started to move after finding the pulse, pulling out her Phone she tried to text or call others for help but with the blood on her hands it wasn't responding to her touch.
"Ok...ok think Vaggie think...dress the wounds. Then get help" she said to herself as she started to look around the room for anything to cover the wounds up with, the first thing she saw was Charlies coat which she grabbed and pulled off the bed before wrapping it around one of her arms, looking around she saw a shirt on the dresser, she got up from the floor and moved and grabbed it before wrapping it around Charlie's other wrist before quickly leaving the room, not wasting anytime she ran down the hallway and didn't even bother with the elevator feeling like the stairs would be faster. After running down 5 flights of stairs she sped out into the lobby where the others where at.
"Alastor!"
"I need to you to help me, Angel I need to you get ahold of 911 or lucifer or something. Husker, I need blankets and stuff"
Everyone was just staring at her and the yellow liquid covering her shirt and her hands.
"Whats on your hands?"
"And your clothes?" They asked now as they was wondering what the big rush was.
"Its charlie...i..she..." Vaggie couldnt get the words out, But the others already knew, Alastor disappeared into the shadows as Angel got his phone out and Vaggie and Husker took back off towards her room.
*1 hour later*
The hospital machines beeped steadily as charlie laid there on the bed, Vaggie sat beside her holding her hand and the others in chairs around the room. The cuts she made had bled all night leaving Charlie on the edge of death from blood loss. The only thing they was able to do was wait and hope for the best right now.
"Did anyone Get ahold of her dad?" Alastor asked now as he held Charlies other hand. Vaggie looked up at Angel who shook his head, before she sighed some and looked over on the table where charlies phone was, she had never met lucifer or know his phone number or she would've called him herself reaching over and grabbing it, she typed in the pin and unlocked the phone as she went to the contacts and searched for dad, only to not find one. She looked again and found it marked as lucifer, she didn't know she wasn't on good terms with him?
She clicked on the name and stepped out of the room as the phone rang a few times before it answered.
"Charlie! It's so good to hear from you!" He said happily and loudly as Vaggie pulled the phone away from her ear some.
"Mr...Morningstar?" Vaggie said getting silence on the other end.
"Who is this, why do you have my daughters phone!" He asked quickly now as lucifer sat up at his desk.
"My..name is Vaggie sir..im Charlie's girlfriend..I..where at the Hospital"
"Hospital! Why what happened. Is my Appleseed alright!" He asked quickly through the phone.
"I...I dont know..." Vaggie said sadly as she leaned against the wall now.
"W...we had a fight..an..and I found her this morning, she...was on the floor and all bloody and..and..i..dont" It was all Vaggie couldn't manage as she slowly slid down the wall and sat on the floor now as she started to cry, Lucifer wasn't doing much better as he stared off at nothing in particular as he took in what Vaggie had just told him and now listened to her cry on the other end. Not waiting anymore he got up from his desk as he took off running and grabbed his hat near the door, getting outside his wings sprouted and he took to the sky's.
Vaggie wasn't sure how long she sat there before she felt a pair of arms around her, startling her some she looked to see Angel picking her up.
"I got ya" he said as his arms wrapped around her, in that moment Vaggie didn't even fight it as she leaned into Angel's body while he carried her back to the room.
Lucifer was a blur rocketing across the sky like a lightning bolt splitting the horizon, it took him no time at all as he landed outside the hospital and quickly ran inside ignoring all the gasps from people seeing him there.
"Charlie. Where is my daughter!" He asked quickly before the nurse pointed at a room off to the left. Speeding off in that direction he stopped outside the room as he looked at his precious Appleseed as she laid there on the bed, her skin was pale compared to normal, Her arms were all taped and bandaged up and it was truly a situation he never wanted to see as he stepped into the room as everyone looked up at him, he moved over and grabbed her hand and reached up and pushed the hair back from her forehead.
"....what happened to my daughter..." he said quietly but clearly. They all explained what had went on the previous night, eating at the table and then Charlie's meltdown on them, before Vaggie found her this morning.
"So...your telling me that you think my daughter tried to off herself...because of how you all treated her..." he said calmly but with authority behind his voice.
"Vaggie...is it?" He asked while looking at her as she held her hand, she looked up at him and nodded her head some.
"Vaggie...may stay, everyone else get out of my sight this instant and think of what you've done"
"But..where her friends to!" Angel said as he stood up, Lucifer stood there silently before he spoke.
"Do not let my calm demeanor fool you..." he said before he turned his head towards them as his eyes were glowing red with fire coming from the corners of them as his demon form was starting to show.
"NOW is not a time to be testing my patience!" He shouted loudly as his voice rose as he continued. Angel all but instantly backed down before they nodded and started to leave the room before he looked over at Vaggie.
"You...are not in a very high place on my list right now either" Lucifer said sternly as he glared at Vaggie, referring to how they told him that Charlie mentioned a girlfriend that doubted her, he knew exactly how that felt.
"If Charlie wants you gone when she wakes up..you are out of here, I'm allowing you to stay for now though because your her girlfriend" he said As he looked back down at his appleseed now.
"S...sir..may I..ask a question" she asked, getting a nod she continued.
"Are..you and Charlie on...bad terms?" She asked, taking note of how Lucifer tensed up some.
"Why do you ask..."
"On..her phone she has you listed as your name not dad" she asked while looking at him, lucifer stayed silent for a few minutes before sighing.
"Things are not perfect between us, I've missed a lot of her life with meetings and running hell..and I've been trying...like I cant try any harder, but she's just not ready to let me back in yet..but, I'm holding onto hope right now" he said as Vaggie nodded some.
"She never mentioned you, didn't tell me any of that..and I thought you both was on great terms, so I urged her to call you several times, and it wasn't because I doubted her" she said as she looked at Charlie.
"Then what was the reason" he asked now as bit curiously. As Vaggie opened her mouth to answer she was interrupted by a groan, they both stopped and was instantly looking down at Charlie.
"Come on appleseed...open your eyes" lucifer said while urging her gently, it took a little as they watched her head move around some and another groan or two before finally her eyes opened up. She was confused and dazed as she looked around the room some before everything started to come back to her.
"Charlie..babe..what happened to you?" Vaggie asked before they watched her eyes slowly closed as she started to cry softly on the bed.
"I..I'm..sorry" she started to repeat over and over again, both Vaggie and lucifer looked at each other before leaning down and hugging Charlie.
It took a bit to get Charlie calmed down and she wanted everyone else back in the room before she told them what had happened, Vaggie left the room and heading to the waiting area where she still found them at and motioned them back towards the room. There Charlie was bombarded with questions before she put her hands up.
"I..will explain it to everyone but first..I want to start with sorry" she said before continuing.
"Im sorry for going off on everyone that night, I was having a bad day and lost my temper and it was unacceptable with how I acted." She said as they looked at her.
"We..deserved it in the end. You was right, we never did help with your dreams and took advantage of your hospitality" Angel said as he wrapped his arms around himself.
"And I was ok with it..you all are my friends and I just want you to be happy" she said with a smile.
"Then...what happened to you..it looked like you tried to off yourself?"
Charlie looked down at her arms as she played with her hands some.
"I...didn't try and off myself" She said quietly
"Then...what happened babe?" Vaggie asked while lucifer lowered his head, he already knew where this was going.
"I..was cutting myself...I remembered when..dad would do it to relieve stress when I was still home with him, and when I sliced myself the first time, it the was the first time I had smiled all day and it felt great, and one thing led to another and soon i had cuts along both of my arms, and then I went to have dinner...I didn't even want to leave my room" she said as she was still looking down at her lap.
"And then it all just...piled up and I finally snapped..I had to let out all my frustrations and then I went to my room...and it all went black, and I woke up here" she said as she looked up with a tear running down her face.
"I...I'm sorry..for everything" she said softly as she felt a hand on her face, looking over to see her dad wiping the tears away with a gentle smile.
"You have nothing to be sorry for my appleseed" he said as he hugged her again.
"Im sorry I wasn't there for you growing up, but I'm here now...if you'll let me be" he said as held onto her before feeling a nod.
"Pl..please...stay" she said softly as she grabbed onto his back.
"Then here I'll stay" he said as he started to smile before finally letting her go and looking over at Vaggie.
"You want to finish what you was saying?" He asked before she nodded
"Charlie..." She started off while grabbing her hand.
"I never doubted your ability to run the hotel, I kept urging you to call your father...because you was stressing and running yourself thin, I was trying to help you take a load off and just relax for a day babe" she said before Charlie nodded.
"I know...just..me and dad wasn't on the greatest terms and I wasn't ready yet. Which isn't your fault, I never told you about that, was a sore subject to me" Vaggie nodded at this before Charlie motioned her closer, leaning down Vaggie was a little surprised by a quick peck on the lips.
"Love you" she said before Vaggie smiled at her
"Love you to...but please..no more cutting, we will find another way to help you" she said while getting nods of agreement from everyone.
"Ok...I promise...no more cutting" she said with her usual smile now.
Later that day she was released from the hospital and tooken home and things were going better, everyone was actually helping around the hotel, Charlie had yet to cut anymore and was repairing her broken relationship with her dad, even ask him to move into the hotel with her which he glady accepted.
Overall Charlie was doing better and was happy that her friends and family have returned the favor in making her days better, it really was becoming a happy day in hell
