I stir a bit, Al gone.

That's rude.

I sit up, looking around the empty suite as I blink, slowly coming to my senses.

Well..as much as I can.

I'm probably the most disoriented person in this hotel..

Well besides Al after he has a smoke break..

I get up and get ready, heading downstairs.

I don't know what time it is.

Where'd I put my phone-

"Uhhhhhhh." I check my pockets. "Did I leave it upstairs..no I swear I grabbed it.."

I hear a giggle, "still talk to yourself I see.."

I am NOT awake enough for this.

Turning, I see the much taller lilith strutting toward me.

"I missed you.."

"No you didn't. And even if you did it's to late."

She sighs, "luci.."

"No. I'm trying to be civil for our daughters sake. But I will not tolerate this. You will not make me feel guilty or upset over the relationship you abandoned."

She freezes.

"I waited..eight years.." I can feel the tears beginning to brim in my eyes. "Just to find out you had left me for a man who was nothing but controlling and sexist."

"Lucifer..I-.."

"I allowed you to do whatever you pleased here. You want to go stab mammon? Go for it. Hell I'll help you. But you took me for granted. I was too blind to see that for awhile. Now that I am happier, taking my meds right and not totally fucked in the head you show back up, just to put me back down in that hole? You can go fuck yourself. And leave my HUSBAND out of it."

"Husband.."

I turn, walking down the stairs.

Don't care about my phone anymore..Where is Al..

..

I walk into his office, the radio low as he works on some files, the clock on the wall reading 11:42.

He looks up, his gaze meeting my teary eyes.

"Love-?"

"Hug.."

He gets up, meeting me halfway as I wrap my arms around his chest, those tears finally falling as he holds me.

"You're alright.." he whispers.

But I'm not.

This ounce of betrayal hitting deep as all my past betrayals.

Gabriel preaching the devils word like I'm some sort of monster.

Michael had it out for me just because I was different.

Raphael hated my views.

My creativity was looked down upon.

My indifference was worrying..

But the moment I was banished..everyone turned..I was a monster.

Except to her.

She loved me.

Until she didn't.

Now I'm nothing but a bipolar mess who can barely take care of himself..let alone his kid..

I fail everyone.Al will probably leave me eventually too.
