Plot.
Charlie seeks comfort

This is my first attempt at doing music in a story. So not sure how it will work out...let me know?

And its just a short oneshot, I might go back and redo it later but for now. Its about all I thought of

Enjoy!


Charlie sat at a bus stop in the middle of a rain storm, she had gone out on her own in the world and nothing was going the way she had planned, she sniffed some and wiped her nose on her sleeve before looking over at a payphone. Reaching into her pocket she pulled out the last quarter she had, not even enough to rub 2 of them together. She moved over to the phone and inserted her last quarter into it before typing in a number and listening to the phone ring a few times before it was answered.
"Lucifer here" she heard her father's voice. She couldn't stop a small sob like breath and a sniffle.
"Charlie?" He asked, recognizing the tone. There was a pause as Charlie thought of hanging up the phone before she nodded to herself.
"Y..yeah..dad..its me" she said softly.
"I..things just...I can't..." she stuttered as she tried to explain it, she had left home with some money her dad had given her and she was determined to achieve her dreams in life, but nothing had worked and she had been kicked down to the bottom.
"I see.." came her father's voice.
"Im....Im sorry I let you down dad"
"No...nonono...Charlie you could never let me down" he said firmly but in a gentle tone.
"A dream you dont chase, will haunt you for the rest of your life Appleseed. You have to fight for your dreams" he said to her before she had a few tears moving down her face.
"I..Ive gone as...far as I can go though.."
"Where are you at sweetie?" He asked her.
A little bit later, Charlie was back on the bench before she saw her dad's car pull up, he wasted no time getting out and over to her as he pulled her in for a hug, feeling the dampness on her shoulder as she all but instantly started to cry.
"Its alright....I got you sweetie" he said as he rubbed her back.
"Im..Im just...I dont know what to do" she said after calming down some.
(Tone)
Charlie started to hum softly to tune she had always liked.
"Daddy...im so afraid" she started to sing softly as Lucifer listened to her.
"Theres no guarantees in the plans I made...And if I should fail, who will pay my way back home" she continued as she finally looked up to a hand on her shoulder and her father's gentle smile looking back at her.
"Thats my job, Thats what I do" he sang out in his soft tone as his eyes never left hers.
"Everything I do is because of you, to keep you safe with me" he said as his voice rose a little in the song before it dropped back down to a softer tone.
"Thats my job you see" he said as he leaned his head in against hers.
"Every person carves their spot and fills a hole with life. And I pray that someday I might light as bright as yours!" Charlie sang out now as a smile started to appear back on her face.
"I make my living with words and rhymes. And all this tragedy should go into my head and out instead as bits of poetry. But I say, Daddy...im so afraid, how can I go on with you gone this way, and come up with a song to say I love you" she sang as her head started to drop back down before she heard his soothing voice again.
"Thats my job, Thats what I do. Everything I do is because of you, to keep you safe with me! Thats my job you see" he said as their eyes met again
"Thats my job you see" he finished off softly before pulling her in for another hug.
"You are worth everything to me my girl, and I will support your dreams wherever they go. Never forget that and never give up on your dreams" Lucifer said as they held the hug and Charlie hugged back just a little tighter.
"Thank you dad...for everything" she said as she really needed this right now.
"Thats my job sweetie"
