The next morning, Angel woke up in bed with a nasty headache and a hangover at the same time. Angel felt someone's arm on his shoulder; he thought he was alone. The second he turned around; he saw that Alastor was in bed with him. His cheeks flushed with embarrassment as he carefully lifted Alastor's arm off his shoulder and then slowly got out of bed. He put on his robe and then walked downstairs to where everyone was having breakfast. "Hey, Angel. Feel better from last night?" Kara asked.

"Oh yeah, I feel great," Angel said, sarcastically.

Last night, Kara convinced him to sign himself over to work for her in exchange for protection from Valentino. He'll admit that working in Kara's club sounded better than being used as a sex toy every night and being Valentino's favorite plaything. Kara was going to let Angel come to the club tonight to see how he liked working there. Charlie shared some exciting news, the hotel now had a new resident, and he just checked in last night. Angel asked who the new resident was, Charlie stated that the guy was a pornstar like Angel. Charlie pointed to the ghostly white sinner that was dressed like a pornstar standing by the bar.

Angel walked over to the sinner; he thought he had recognized the guy from the porn studio. The second the guy turned around; Angel was taken aback. "No way. Angie?! Ha. Wow, small world." the guy said.

"You know this chump?" Husker asked.

"Guys, meet Andy Grin. He was Val's old plaything before I got chosen. Was the best dancer in the club before he disappeared." Angel explained.

Andy didn't say anything; he just took his drink and walked away to his room. Alastor suddenly came into the room for breakfast. Angel turned away from Alastor feeling embarrassed since he slept with Alastor. Alastor tried to talk with Angel but just ran back up to his room, avoiding Alastor. The others looked at Alastor who was still smiling but Kara could just tell that Alastor was disappointed that he didn't get to talk to Angel. Kara asked Alastor to come see her in her office before he left for his morning radio cast. Alastor tried to refuse but Charlie insisted that Alastor go to the meeting.

Alastor rolled his eyes but he agreed to the meeting. Kara finished her breakfast then she asked Alastor to follow her to her office. Kara's office was on the west side of the hotel, she made the office look more friendly, as well as friendly as you can get in Hell. Kara had Alastor sit on the couch so that way they could chat. "Is there a reason why you had me come into your office?" Alastor asked.

"What happened last night with Angel?" Kara asked, bluntly.

Alastor's face went flush, "Nothing happened!"

"Alastor, this is a safe space. Now spill." Kara said.

"There's nothing to tell. I took Angel back to his room and left. Simple as that." Alastor stated crossing his arms.

Kara looked at Alastor with a smirk; she knew that something happened last night that caused Angel to run out of the room like he was on fire. She asked Alastor if there was anything else that happened last night that he might have left out. Alastor covered his mouth and mumbled out that he might have slept with Angel. "Al, uncover your mouth and say it again," Kara said.

Alastor uncovered his mouth, "I slept with Angel! There, happy?!" he shouted.

Kara let out a small laugh, "You didn't."

"We did not have sex!" Alastor shouted, defensively.

"You like Angel. You want to kiss him. You want to hug him." Kara said in a sing-song tone.

"Ok, ok, Will you cut that out?!" Alastor shouted, "I already feel bad enough that Angel thinks I used him."

Kara immediately stopped teasing Alastor and told him to just tell Angel the truth about what happened. Along with advising Alastor to go easy on Angel; he's been through more shit than people think. Alastor departed from Kara's office for his morning new cast. On the way out, he bumped into Angel who was fully dressed for the day. "Angel, where are you off to?" Alastair asked.

"I got a meeting with Val. Not that I have a choice in the matter." Angel said.

Just as Angel was walking away, Alastor called out to him to tell him something. However, Angel told Alastor to just forget about what happened in his room last night and then he left the hotel. Kara waited in her office for a few minutes until Andy walked in. "Right on time, Andy," Kara stated. "Please sit."

Andy sat down on the couch with his hands in his pockets looking nervous. She assured Andy that he was not in trouble, she just wanted to get to know more about the new resident. Andy started to relax a bit; Kara offered him some tea to help calm his nerves down. Kara started to ask him a few questions about how he ended up in Hell and why he went into hiding from Valentino. Andy was open to sharing about his past life, but he wasn't willing to talk about Valentino. Kara told Andy that it was okay and that they could circle back to the topic when he was ready to share.

Andy was an actor in the early 2000s; he was on a hit TV show with his boyfriend who is non-binary and the co-star of the show. The show was a big hit until the producer decided to tell Andy's boyfriend needed to start being an actual guy and not non-binary. The producer even told Andy that he was going to be getting a female co-star instead and their characters would get together. Andy ended up finding his boyfriend in their dressing room, cutting his arm with a piece of glass from the shattered mirror. After that, both Andy and his boyfriend quit the show due to the sexual harassment both of them had to endure.

After they quit the show, Andy had his boyfriend move in with him. He planned to propose to his boyfriend, but he never got the chance to. He came home to find police cars and an ambulance surrounding the house. His boyfriend was shot by a robber who broke into the house. Paramedics did their best to save them, but the bullet had pierced their heart and they had died before the ambulance had arrived. Three weeks after the funeral, Andy started going out having too many drinks, and becoming reckless. He ended up dying in a car crash which made him end up in Hell.

By the time Andy was finished telling Kara his story, he was in tears. Kara handed Andy some tissues to wipe away the tears. "I'm so sorry that happened to you," she said.

"It's fine. I'm just glad I had someone to share this with." Andy said, sniffling.

"If you don't mind me asking, why did you come to the hotel? Besides redemption." Kara asked.

"I want to see Ben again. I know they are in heaven. I want to be reunited with the one I love." Andy explained then he pulled out a small box, "I never got to propose to them. This would be my chance."

"That is so sweet. Well, lucky for you. We'll get you reunited with your loved one." Kara promised.

Kara looked at the clock, an hour had passed which was how long the session went on. She excused Andy and told him that she wanted to see him again tomorrow to discuss more about his past with Valentino. As Andy left, he overheard Alastor mutter something about Angel meeting up with Valentino. Andy decided to sneak out of the hotel and head over to the porn studio just to make sure that Val wasn't up to his old tricks. It took him a while, but he made it down to the studio. He found Angel in the back of the studio about to smoke on one of Val's "special" cigarettes.

Andy walked over to Angel who spotted him. "The princess knows that you're down here?" Angel asked.

"She doesn't." Andy said, "I came to check up on you. Val made you his new plaything."

"So?" Angel asked.

"Val is a monster, Angel. He fills your head with lies about freeing you, extends your contract without your consent, and worst of all, he keeps you under his control from the smoke from those cigarettes he gives you." Andy explained, "Angel. Whatever Val is promising you, don't believe him."

"You think I don't fucking know that?!" Angel screamed. "I spent seventy years under that guy's thumb, being his whore. I have no control over my body or soul. Forget it. You wouldn't understand."

"I would," Andy said, softly.

Angel lit the cigarette and then puffed out a breath of red smoke. "I guess, there's just times I keep thinkin' 'about what I could say or do. And I don't know if there is anything."

Sometimes it's like I met him yesterday

Waltzes in with just a smile, down to play

Angel remembered when he first met Valentino at a bar.

Seems to be the name on everybody's lips

An' I kept sayin' that I wouldn't fall for it

But then…

Quicker than a flash, he had me at hello

He took me by the hand, we started dancing slow

He remembered the deal Val had offered him.

I didn't wanna get attached but now, I'm far too close

And he knows just what he's doing

He remembered how he just agreed to be Val's favorite porn star and his new personal plaything.

I didn't know, when I met Valentino

I was giving him control over me

Now I'm stuck in his melody

Let me go, let me go Valentino

You're not getting anymore out of me

I don't want your cruel melody

"This is what he does. He takes advantage of your state and twists your words." Andy stated.

"He tricked you too, huh?" Angel asked.

Andy had sudden flashbacks of when he and Valentino had met.

He knew what to say to sweep me off my feet (Ah)

I should've never heard a word he said to me

I was comfortable with ignorance is bliss (Ah)

Valentino had approached Andy with a flirty smile.

'Cause I told myself I wouldn't fall for it (Fall for it)

But then

Quicker than a flash, he had me at hello

He took me by the hand, we started dancing slow

Valentino had used his cigarette smoke to led Andy to a back room where he forced Andy to have sex with him.

I didn't wanna get attached but now, I'm far too close

And he knows just what he's doing

Both Andy and Angel started to sing as they both remembered all the pain and torture that Valentino put them through. Keeping them in chains like animals.

(I didn't know)

I didn't know when I met Valentino

I was giving him control over me

Now I'm stuck in his melody

Oh, let me go, let me go Valentino

You're not getting anymore out of me

I don't want your cruel melody (Don't want it, oh)

I don't want your cruel melody, oh, no

Oh no, no, ooh yeah (Don't want it)

Ooh, oh, oh (Don't want it)

Yeah, yeah

Angel threw away the cigarette.

I should have known not to trust Valentino

Andy snapped out of his trance of flashbacks.

I should have known not to trust Valentino

Angel looked over at Andy.

Tonight we're saying goodbye Valentino

We know just what you're doing

Angel and Andy somehow ended up at the karaoke club with all the porn stars who escaped Valentino. All of them were singing and dancing as they were saying goodbye to Valentino.

I didn't know when I met Valentino

I was giving him control, control over me

Now I'm stuck in his melody

Let me go, let me go Valentino (Let me go Valentino)

You're not getting any more out of me

I don't want your cruel melody (I don't want)

I should have known not to trust Valentino

I should have known not to trust Valentino

Go, let me go, let me go Valentino

You're not getting any more out of me

I don't want your cruel melody

The crowd clapped and cheered as Kara watched from the sidelines seeing how brave Andy and Angel were. Angel had spent the night at the club serving guests, joining the karaoke singing or being a backup dancer. It was different but it was a good different. After Angel's shift at the club, he, Andy, and Kara headed back to the hotel.

Angel told Andy that he was grateful to share his pain with him. Just as Angel was about to enter his room; he found Alastor waiting for him by the door. "Al? What are you doing?" Angel asked.

"Look, Angel. About last night. I was only bringing you to your room. You asked me to stay when you were drunk and kind of forced me into bed and clung onto me. I swear I didn't do anything to you." Alastor stated.

"I get it. Let's just forget about the whole thing." Angel suggested.

Alastor just walked away but something in his heart was telling him that he should stay. Well, Alastor's heart was right because late at night, he heard someone crying. He walked around the hotel looking for the sound until he stopped at Angel's room where it was the loudest. He slowly opened the door and found Angel curled up in a corner crying his eyes out. Alastor thought about walking away but seeing how fragile and broken Angel was made him rethink his choice. He slowly walked into the room towards Angel then he kneeled and put a gentle hand on his shoulder. Angel flinched at the touch; thinking that it was Valentino.

"Angel?" Alastor said in a soft tone.

Angel looked up with tears streaming down his face like waterfalls. He didn't say a word; he then flung himself into Alastor's arms, sobbing. Alastor didn't push Angel away or say anything to Angel. Instead, he wrapped his arms around Angel's body and gently rubbed his back to calm him down. It took Angel a few minutes to finally calm down then he fell back asleep in Alastor's arms. Not wanting to leave him only, Alastor put Angel back in bed then he laid down next to him.
