Chapter 39: A moment to relax
A/N: So I was originally going to have Vox appear in this chapter since I left you all on that cliffhanger. But since next chapter will be our 40th CHAPTER….I thought that would be a fun way to celebrate this mini milestone (wonder if we can reach a 100 chapters?). And I'm also going to be on vacation soon so I'll be away from my computer for a few weeks and I wanted to give you something to read over while I'm gone. It's nothing grand or epic but it's nice to have a chill, relaxing chapter here and there.
So who was excited about the sneak peak for season two of Hazbin Hotel? I'm so excited we get to finally meet Baxter! I know he's been one of the characters that everyone was looking forward to seeing when the show was first put together. I can't wait to see what his personality will be like and how Jenny will interact with him.
I made another artpiece for the series. We get to see what Jenny wears when she becomes an Overlord and we get to see what Mei looks like! It's called 'Dressed to the Nines' if you guys are interested.
Here's your bit of trivia for the day!: Jenny's Birthday is July 20th. Since her birthday is in July that means her birthstone is the Ruby. The meaning behind this birthstone ties deeply with the story and Jenny's role with everyone in the hotel. Plus it's red and everything including her hair is tied with red lol.
Now let's get on with the story!
Disclaimer: I don't own Hazbin Hotel or Helluva Boss; I just own my characters.
Enjoy!

Mimzy's was still buzzing well after the show ended. A bunch of the guests made it a point to visit Jenny and praise her for her performances. She was gifted so many flowers that it got to the point that the place was resembling a flower shop. Mimzy was grumbling about how she should have charged more with how successful the night was.
"There's got to be a way to make her stay here for good. This was the first night this place was packed. No way can I let this broad get away" she mumbled to herself.
Husk scowled at the flapper girl. Of course she would think of only money and how to get more of it. Looks like he had to keep an eye on Mimzy from now on.
Charlie squealed as she hugged Jenny.
"Tonight was so amazing! I never had so much fun hearing someone sing! You're going to slay that audition!"
Jenny smiled and patted Charlie on the arm.
"That all depends on who else will be auditioning. I'm sure I'll have some stiff competition"
"I'm sure when you mean by 'stiff competition' you mean how fast everyone will get a raging boner when they hear that voice of yours, toots" Angel said.
Vaggie swatted him in the arm with disgust.
"Don't be disgusting!"
"What it's true! I saw a couple of guys in the crowd getting a hard on when they saw her dancing that one number" Angel insisted.
"Yeah…so did I" Blitzo grumbled as he was in the process of wiping the blood off his knife.
"Anyway tonight was a success! Now all you have to do is land that audition and you're one step closer to your dream!" Charlie cheered.
"HA! Performing in a small shit hole was one thing but an actual theater?"
Verosika came over with her group and Vortex. She had a sour look on her face. Tonight was not what she expected. She didn't think Jenny would actually be that good and get a bunch of standing ovations. Whenever she performed she would use her succubus powers and seduce the crowd but this Sinner didn't even have to do that! That's how good she was and in pissed the popstar off.
Jenny raised an eyebrow when she saw the pissed off look on Verosika's face.
"Why the long face? Did you not enjoy the show?"
Verosika was about to say something but her group beat her to it.
"That was amazing!"
"I loved that second song you sang! I didn't think singing that fast would be catchy but it was!"
"I was crying a little when you sang that last song"
Vortex came up and smile a little.
"I'm not one for theater but I'll admit I enjoyed the show you gave us, ma'am"
Jenny perked up when she saw the Hellhound.
"Oh, hello! I don't think I met you the other day when I ran into Verosika. I'm Jennifer but feel free to call me Jenny"
Vortex bowed his head a little in response.
"I'm Vortex. I'm Verosika's bodyguard. It's a pleasure to meet you, ma'am"
Jenny smiled and turned to Loona.
"Doesn't he seem nice, Loonie? What a gentleman. You guys should become friends"
Loona went beat red with embarrassment.
"Jenny, shut up!" she snapped.
Jenny just laughed and turned back to Vortex.
"Don't mind Loona. She's a sweet girl but she's very shy"
Loona got even redder and tried to hide behind Blitzo. The imp got all giddy that his daughter was spending time with him by using him as a shield.
Vortex laughed a little. He was used to Hellborns ordering him around because he was a Hellhound and yet a Sinner was treating him as if he was just any other induvial in Hell. What an interesting person.
Jenny saw Verosika was still scowling. Guess she didn't like that her group was talking over her and not giving her the chance to speak.
"Thank you again for seeing the show tonight. I'm glad you enjoyed it" she said.
"Who said I enjoyed it?" Verosika spat.
"I was so bored I would have fallen asleep if it wasn't for all these idiots here clapping their asses off. The only reason everyone was cheering you on is because you have that freaky blood that everyone wants. You're nothing special"
The hotel gang glared at the pop star when she said that. Who did she think she was? Blitzo got up in his ex's face and glared at her.
"Don't you fucking dare insult her! I saw you clapping at a few of her songs. That's kind of weird for someone to do when they claim they were bored. Be pissed off with me as much as you like but she has nothing to do with what happened between us, got it?! She was good and you don't want to admit it because that means someone is actually better than you"
Verosika narrowed her eyes and dug her nails into her arms in anger. He had the balls to talk back to her like that and act like what happened wasn't a big deal.
"When you get bored fangirling over her are you going to steal her car and drive it three rings down and max out her credit cards on shitty horse riding lessons too? That seems to be your thing when it comes to relationships" she spat.
Jenny was flabbergasted when she heard that. He did what?
"Blitz did you really do that?"
Blitzo bit his lip and refused to look her way. When he didn't give her a response Verosika gave Jenny a cruel smirk.
"Oh he sure did. You better watch out with this one. He might do the same to you when he gets tired of you"
Blitzo looked away in shame. He did a lot of fucked up things in the past but he tried to hide it from Jenny. He didn't want her to think he was some messed up loser who destroyed everything he touched.
Jenny sighed and held the bridge of her nose.
"Only you, Blitz" she muttered.
"You paid her back, right?"
Blitzo blinked when he realized she wasn't disgusted by his past actions.
"Huh?"
Jenny rolled her eyes and gave her friend a tired look.
"You paid her back after your little fuck up, right?"
"Yeah, Blitz-o. You paid me, right?" Verosika added.
When Blitzo didn't say anything, that was all the answer Jenny needed.
"Damnit, Blitz"
She looked at Verosika.
"If he pays you back will you leave him alone?" she offered.
Verosika scoffed and put her hands on her hips.
"You mean if he can pay me. With his lousy job it would take him years to pay off all my credit cards" she spat.
Blitzo was about to make a remark but Charlie held her hand out in front of him to silence him. The princess had a grim look on her face as she stared at the popstar. How dare she try to ruin Jenny's night like this?
Not on her watch.
"Fortunately for you he works with someone who can pay you back right away" she said.
"Give me all your invoices for the things he put on your cards and come to the hotel tomorrow. I'll write you up a check"
Everyone's eyes bugged out when they heard that.
"Charlie!" Vaggie cried.
"No, Vaggie. Jenny and the I.M.P are patrons of the hotel which means they're under my protection. Insulting them is the same as insulting me since they work under me. I will not tolerate anyone who are nasty to my friends"
"The princess thinks of us as friends?" Moxxie whispered.
Loona whacked him on the head to shut him up.
"I'll give you a check and you don't bother Blitz or insult Jenny again. Sound fair?" Charlie offered.
Verosika opened her mouth to say something but Vortex covered her mouth with his hand.
"That's very generous of you, your highness. That would be just fine" he said.
He pushed Verosika away and gave Jenny a wave.
"Have a nice night, Miss. Jenny"
"Night, Vortex"
Verosika glared at Jenny as her group dragged her away.
"Must be so nice having rich friends that cover your ass"
She kept spewing stuff as she was pushed out of the building. When they past Alastor, he had a nasty, evil glare to his face as he watched the pop star get pulled away.
Everyone blinked wondering what that little shit show was all about.
"What did you see in her, Blitz?" Jenny asked.
"To be honest I don't remember" Blitzo said flatly.
He turned to Charlie. She stuck her neck out for him even though he was nasty to her before. How could she be so kind to him when he was rude to her?
"You didn't have to do that. I would have taken care of it" he said.
"I know you would have but the sooner this was resolved the sooner she would be out of our hair. I wasn't going to let her ruin Jenny's night" Charlie said.
"Meh, I felt bad for her mostly. She must be crabby with all that back pain she deals with thanks to that botched boob job of hers. I'd be crabby too if I had literal boulders glued to my chest" Jenny said.
"Why are you still going on about her tits?" Blitzo asked.
"Because she almost broke my nose! It was literally like getting smashed into a brick wall they were that hard" Jenny said.
Blitzo shook his head and looked back at Charlie.
"Thank you" he said quietly.
"Oh don't be thanking me just yet. I'm not doing this for free" Charlie said with a dark smile.
"I'll figure out how you can pay me back for this. But for now we'll just get this resolved so she won't bother anyone again"
Even though Blitzo apologized for that shitty stunt he pulled by threatening to take Jenny away from the hotel, she was still salty about it. She might have made this mess with the Extermination Day but she was trying to fix it at least. There was no need to crash his van into the building and take away the person who brought Sinners to the hotel.
Blitzo seemed to have caught on what Charlie was implying and made a face. Guess the princess wasn't a naïve, bubbly, airhead after all.
His paychecks were going to be hurting for a while.
With all that drama out of the way, it was time for everyone to head back to the hotel to rest. Now that Jenny saw she still had what it took to preform it was time to get her ready for that audition.
/
Later that night in Jenny's room
"Why didn't you tell me that was the reason why your ex hates you?"
Blitzo rolled his eyes.
"I don't make it a habit of talking about how I broke up with my exes"
"You always wanted to know how I broke up with my exes" Jenny pointed out.
"That's because I wanted to know what method I would use to kill them and dispose of their bodies. The nastier they were to you the nastier their deaths would have been" Blitzo explained.
"But I didn't say anything because…I had a feeling you would judge me"
"You're a hitman that kills people. That didn't bother me but you thought me knowing about your breakups would?" Jenny said dryly.
"I know. I know. I just…I know I'm a messed up, flawed person. You're the only one who didn't see that and I didn't want to ruin this image you had of me" Blitzo said sheepishly.
Jenny squeezed his shoulder and gave him a lopsided grin.
"I know you're not perfect and that's fine. I'm not perfect either. You're not a shitty person but you tend to do very crazy things without thinking them through first. I may understand that but Verosika doesn't"
Blitzo scoffed and flopped on the bed next to her.
"She's just used to getting all the attention and has never grasped the concept that someone doesn't have to love her or think she's great. She doesn't take rejection well"
"Yeah no shit. But then again you stole her car and maxed out her cards"
"At least I didn't cheat on her like that one prick you dated in High School"
"Speaking of him, I wonder what happened to him? He kind of disappeared before Graduation"
Blitzo looked off to the side.
"Yeah, kinda creepy that he just vanished like that" he muttered.
"Anyway let's not talk about my past mistakes. We should be talking about how incredible you were tonight"
Jenny blushed a little as she looked at all the flowers that Charlie and Vaggie hauled into her room when they got back. This place was going to smell flowery for the next couple of weeks. The two bouquets that Stolas and Alastor gave her were on her makeup stand in vases. Stolas gave her pink and yellow Alstroemeria flowers while Alastor gave her black and tiger lilies. She would have to ask Angel what these flowers meant since he was a secret expert in flowers.
"I think tonight was one of the most fun nights I've had in a long time. I almost forgot how much I enjoyed singing and dancing" she said quietly.
"I thought it was pointless trying to chase a silly dream"
"Nothing about tonight was pointless" Blitzo said.
"You saw everyone's reaction to your performance. It's super hard to entertain Sinners down here because they've seen and heard it all. Most of them went out to get flowers so they could give them to you, that's how good you were. If you can entertain and move a bunch of tough, nasty Sinners then nothing about your dreams are childish. You show that audition what you're made of"
Jenny stared at Blitzo for a long time. He had always been on her side since they first met. He always pushed her to reach her dreams, always cheered her on, always stayed in her corner. While David always told her that her dreams were stupid Blitz always told her to reach for them. When she thought she lost her chance after taking a teaching job, he always reminded her that it wasn't too late to reclaim that dream.
He really was the friend that you wanted in your corner.
She flopped her head on his shoulder and yawned.
"You really are such a good friend, Blitz"
Blitzo bit his lip when Jenny laid next to him. He willed his body to stay still. He couldn't let her know what she was doing to him by being so close to him. She could never know his true feelings. He would take that secret with him to his grave. But there was one secret he couldn't hide from her anymore. If he was as good of a friend as she claimed, he needed to be honest.
Sticking his hand in his jacket, he grabbed her phone that he kept on him. It was about time he gave this back. He didn't want to but if he continued to hold on to this, he knew it would only make things worse. Letting out a shaky breath, he braced himself for the painful look Jenny was going to have on her face when she saw no one tried to contact her or find out where she went.
"Jen…I found something that I think might-"
He paused when he saw Jenny was sound asleep on his shoulder. The poor girl was tired after putting on her first big show in years. Sighing, he put the phone back and pulled a blanket over her so she wouldn't get cold. Not wanting to wake her up, he stayed put so she could get a good nights rest. He pressed his forehead against hers and just watched her sleep. He would give her back her phone tomorrow. He wouldn't ruin her night. Tomorrow they would deal with what was going on top side.
"No matter what happens later down the road, I'm always going to have your back" he said quietly.
She would never know how much he loved her. Even if it hurt him every single day, as long as he got to see her that would be enough for him.
He closed his eyes and hugged Jenny while she slept. Even in sleep he would always keep her safe.
/
The next morning
"Sorry I feel asleep on you, Blitz" Jenny said sheepishly.
Blitzo waved her off, showing he didn't care.
"Wouldn't be the first time you've done that. Least you didn't drool on me this time" he joked.
"That was one time!" Jenny snapped.
She spun around in her seat and went back to putting her wig on.
"Is there a point keeping that on now that they know that's not your real hair?" Blitzo asked.
"Probably not but I'm too lazy to brush my hair out and I've worn this thing for months so it'll be weird not to" Jenny said.
"What are you going to do if they asks questions?"
Jenny paused and thought about that. Nobody asked about her hair after the show. Alastor seemed like he wanted to say something but he decided not to. She was sure they were all curious as to why she wore a wig and why she hid her natural hair color.
"I'll try to tell them something without giving anything away" she said.
"If I could convince my grandma that you really loved dressing up for Dungeons and Dragons, I'm sure I can fool them with a made up story"
"For the record I look nothing like a Teifling" Blitzo said flatly.
"Well you sure as shit don't look like an elf" Jenny replied.
"Might as well see what everyone is doing. It's way too quiet for my liking so that means something is up"
Blitzo bit his lip and decided to break the ice to her.
"Hey, Jen. Before you go…I have something I wanted to give you"
He reached into his pocket for her phone.
"I found this a little while back and I've been meaning to give it to you…but with everything going on, I haven't had the chance to"
He pulled out her phone and showed it to her. Jenny's eyes went huge when she saw the familiar object.
"My phone!"
She grabbed it from him and looked it over to see that it wasn't damaged. She thought Martha might have taken it from her when she grabbed her from her school.
"How did you get this?"
"I found it when Millie, Moxxie and I searched your school finding clues" Blitzo said.
"I wanted to make sure it didn't get broken or damaged from dropping to the floor so I checked it over. I was trying to give it to you but…"
'I didn't want you to see the lack of messages' he thought.
Jenny was oblivious to his dilemma and just waved him off.
"A lot of crazy stuff has happened since we reunited. Everyone is freaking out over the new Extermination Day" she said.
"I'm so relieved this wasn't lost though. I wonder if David or anyone has been trying to call me this whole time?"
She started to turn it on. She wondered how worried David had been this whole time. She had a feeling he had blown up her voicemail trying to see if she would answer. Blitzo felt sweat form on his head when she started typing in her passcode.
"It won't work down here!" he blurted.
He promised he wouldn't hide anything from her but he couldn't let her find out. She already had to deal with a group trying to kill her and Sinners wanting her blood. She didn't need to know David and everyone else weren't finding her. Not yet. Not until it was safe to get her home. She could be mad at him later but right now he had to keep her safe.
"I…I tried fiddling with your phone when I got it. I thought maybe it had some clues from when you got kidnapped but it doesn't work cause it's a human phone. Hell has different wifi, radio waves, etc" he said quickly.
"I could jail break it like I did with my human phone to make it work but if I do that it'll be at risk of getting viruses and other nasty things you wouldn't want on your phone"
Jenny made a face. Of course her phone wouldn't work down here. That would be too easy. Then again it made sense. If it worked down here, David would have been able to track her phone and see where it was. She had a feeling Hell wasn't on any Google Maps or in the data base.
"Damnit. And I wanted to see what was going on" she whined.
"But it's probably for the best. No one is supposed to know that there's a way to get into Hell"
"Y-yeah! If your phone worked here that would have been a beacon for the police and that crazy cult!" Blitzo added.
He mentally sighed with relief that Jenny went along with this. She was smart but she had her airhead moments.
Jenny looked at her phone one last time then went over to her side table and put it in there.
"Guess this won't do me any good" she muttered.
"But you brought up a good point. Since my phone won't work down here, I should probably get a Hellphone. Might be better and easier to have one on me just in case"
"We can go to one of the phone stores in town today. We can get something cheap and simple so you don't have to struggle figuring out how they work" Blitzo offered.
"Sounds like a plan" Jenny agreed.
They left her room and made their way downstairs just in time to see Charlie start one of her classes. Angel ran up to her and grabbed her by the shoulders.
"Toots! Make her stop!" he begged.
"What's going on?"
Angel pointed a finger at Charlie with a drained look on his face.
"She won't stop singing! She thought everyone would enjoy the class better if she sang one of her songs cause 'everyone loves to sing!.' I am too hungover for this shit"
"Singing is a fun way to learn something new!" Charlie said.
"Why don't you take over Jenny! You would be able to make the class fun by singing it"
Jenny gave her a tired smile and shook her head.
"This is your class so you should be in charge and I'm still tired from last night" she said.
"Besides, Blitz was going to take me to a phone store cause I still haven't gotten a Hellphone yet and it's best that I have one"
"I'll get it!" Angel said.
"I'll get your phone! I know what will work for you! Anything to get out of this shit hole"
"Angel sit back down" Vaggie snapped.
"You're not the boss of me, bitch! I am not drunk enough to deal with this shit. There are so many things I can endure while being hungover and Charlie's singing is not one of them" Angel said.
His scowl went away as he gave Jenny a little smile.
"Go ahead and relax, toots. You need it after tonight. I'll take B to one of the phone places nearby"
Ever since he found out about Jenny's secret, the group noticed that he tended to be a lot nicer and softer with her than he was with everyone else. They didn't know the real reason behind it but they thought he was trying to make it up to her with the whole Valentino incident.
Jenny didn't argue since she was still tired from last night. Maybe Angel would be able to get her a good deal on a phone since he was a famous porn star.
"Just don't get me anything fancy or has a lot of crazy features" she said.
"Yeah, yeah. You're used to those old flip phones with the rabbit ears coming off of them" Angel teased.
"You're older than me, asshole so don't even start with that" Jenny barked.
Angel cackled.
"Come on, B. I'll take you to my usual shop"
Blitzo rolled his eyes. He was hoping to spend some alone time with Jenny but it was better that she chilled at the hotel.
"Yeah, yeah, I'm coming. Oh before I forget, take this, Jen"
He pulled out a taser and offered it to her.
"This is just to keep yourself safe. Keep this on you from now on"
Jenny scoffed and crossed her arms.
"Blitz"
"You don't know how to use a gun so I'm not that stupid to hand you one. You seem to get yourself in trouble when I'm not here so I want you to have this on you. It'll put me at ease" Blitzo said.
Jenny rolled her eyes and reluctantly took the taser and stuffed it in her hoodie.
"For the record I don't go looking for trouble. It just seems to find me" she said.
"All the more reason to have that on you" Blitzo said.
He looked at Loona who was lounging on one of the sofas with her phone in her hand.
"You behave while I'm out, Loonie" he cooed.
Loona just flipped him off and never looked away from her phone.
Blitzo as usual was oblivious to her rude gestures and had a goofy smile. He left the hotel with Angel in tow, off to find a phone for Jenny.
The human went over to Angel's spot in the lobby and flopped on the couch.
"You're wearing your wig?" Vaggie said.
Jenny cracked an eye open and saw everyone staring at her. She sighed. She didn't explain about her wearing a wig to them so of course they were going to ask about it. She just wasn't fully awake enough to come up with a story.
"Yeah, I'm…not ready to show off my real hair" She said.
"You don't have to explain, Loona told us everything" Mei said.
Jenny froze when she heard that.
"Huh?"
Loona rolled her eyes and continued to text on her phone.
"I told them about you always being picked on for having such red hair when you were alive. I know you're still triggered by some of the comments people would say to you" she said.
She secretly gave Jenny a wink telling her to play along with the story. Charlie quickly chimed in trying to add to the story.
"Y-yeah! We want this place to be a safe environment for everyone. If you're not comfortable with something Vaggie and I will make sure that it's fixed. We want you to redeem yourselves but we want you to feel safe while doing it"
Everyone seemed to have bought that. Charlie did go out of her way to accommodate everyone's wants and needs while staying here.
"But why would you hide your hair? It's such a lovely shade of red" Pentious asked innocently.
"Have you had guys asking you if the curtain matches the drapes?" Jenny asked flatly.
A couple of faces went red at the crude remark. One of Tony's employees titled his head curiously.
"Do they?"
Tony swung a wrench at the worker's head.
"Shut up! You don't ask a lady that!" he barked.
Jenny rolled her eyes, obviously used to that crude comment.
"And that's why I hate my natural hair color. Everyone thought it was weird and unnatural with how red it was. I pretty much look like Alastor's twin"
She paused when she realized she didn't hear jazz music playing.
"Speaking of that annoying deer, where is he?"
"He had to go fix a little problem Mimzy had at her club" Husk said.
"Apparently a bunch of the loan sharks she owes money to found out about last nights show and that she had a packed house. Since she made a lot of money that meant she could pay them back"
"Must be nice having an Overlord cleaning up your messes" Jenny deadpanned.
"Overlords love doing cleanup for others, Songbird. That's how they trap them and force them to pay them back. They'll do anything if it meant they'll get something out of it" Lue said.
Husk's feathers ruffled in agitation when Lue said that. He hit the nail on the head with that one.
Jenny rolled her eyes and laid her head on the armrest of the couch.
"Why can't Sinners just help each other out to be nice?"
"If they wanted to be nice they would have ended up in heaven when they died. Sometimes people don't want to be kind" Lue said.
"Well, I'm down here and I'd rather be kind than be an asshole" Jenny said.
"We like it that you're kind. You don't treat us badly or judge us for our past actions" Mei said.
Everyone nodded in agreement. While Charlie was kind as well and wanted to help she seemed to have forgotten that in order to 'fix' her clients she needed to understand them. She couldn't help Angel become a better person if she didn't understand the reasons why he resorted to taking drugs and alcohol all the time. That's why Jenny seemed to be more approachable when it came to the hotel. She thought in order to help everyone, it was best to hear their stories and try to figure out how they could change and better themselves.
"My grandma would use to say never judge a book by its cover but there was one other thing she said that helped me see things in a different way" Jenny slowly said.
"She used to say never think with your eyes. When I was a kid, I thought that was a silly thing to say but when I got older I understood what she was trying to tell me. When we see certain things we automatically jump to conclusions. If we see someone pointing a weapon at someone, we automatically think that person is bad. But if you take a moment and really think about what you're seeing then you realize you were seeing something completely different. You might think that person aiming the weapon at someone was bad and they want to cause harm, but if you read and focus on the situation you'll realize the person holding the weapon isn't trying to hurt someone, they're trying to defend themselves because the other person is trying to harm them. Everyone quickly sees one thing and judges them right away. They don't take the time to think about what was going on and just decided that person is evil. That's something I always follow even till now. I never judge people based on what I see, I judge them based on who they are and what kind of person they'd rather be"
And it was true. After everything that happened in her life, her grandma's words rang true. She grew up going to church and hearing about how Hell and demons were evil, that you must always follow the writing of the Bible otherwise you'll end up down in Hell. She thought Hell was evil when she saw all the paintings and stain glass artwork that lined the church walls. But when she met Blitzo she saw there was more to Hell and demons. They weren't all evil, they didn't try to steal your soul or make you do things. They always made a point to remind them that by accepting their help, they were giving up their souls in exchange. If they were 'tricked' it was because they didn't listen to what was being said and just saw what was offered to them.
That's why heaven was cruel when it came to who was allowed to enter. They just saw what a person did when they were alive and didn't take the time to understand why they did what they did.
"I'll never judge you guys for being down here because I know you all had your reasons. Maybe you didn't think what you were doing was bad at the time or you were in a very bad situation and you didn't have choice but do something bad to get out of it. Just because you're down here doesn't mean you're bad people. That's what Charlie is trying to do with this Hotel. That's why Heaven needs to see what she's trying to say" Jenny said.
Mei and Pentious had tears in their eyes. It had been so long since they were told that they weren't awful people. They did some questionable things when they were alive but they didn't do them because they were bad. They just did what they thought would help. Charlie was teary eyed as well. She had so many people tell her that her dream was pointless and was impossible. But Jenny understood what she was trying to do! Not all Sinners were evil. They shouldn't have to be punished every year for making mistakes when they were alive.
Lue was oddly quiet when Jenny talked. She wasn't wrong but she didn't seem to realize that Heaven did know about what humans did when they were alive. They saw all their past actions and knew why they did things. They knew when someone killed another in self defense, they knew when someone stole because they couldn't afford something. They didn't keep them out of heaven for doing 'bad' things…they kept them out because they didn't want them to ruin their image of what heaven looked like. They wanted humans to view heaven as this beautiful paradise where all your worries were gone and you were rewarded with eternal bliss and happiness. If they had let a human enter heaven after they did minor questionable things when they were alive then humans would think they could get away with anything cause they would be able to enter heaven when they died.
Heaven had its reasons for keeping things in order, however they were very, very outdated and were built in their favor. Even if Charlie and Lucifer wanted to do good things for their people and humanity, heaven wouldn't listen because they didn't think of it and it wasn't in their favor.
The angel hoped that the princess's hopes didn't get crushed when she saw how stubborn and bullheaded heaven could be.
A knock at the door alerted everyone that someone was here.
"That must be Verosika wanting her check" Vaggie said.
Lue sensed something when he heard the door being knocked again. He got up and went over to the door.
"I'll get it. Why don't you get that checkbook of yours, princess?"
He scowled when the door was knocked on again. Yanking the door open, he didn't see a popstar standing on the other side. He made a face when he saw who it was.
Vox stood in front of the angel with a giant bouquet of roses in his hand. Taking his hat off, he bowed a little and had a fake grin plastered on his face.
"Greetings. Is Jenny Nightingale here by any chance?"

A/N: *hides behind stuff* Don't yell at me! I know I'm evil with these cliffhangers but how else do I get you guys excited for the next chapter? Since Vox is finally going to meet Jenny, how will that turn out?
And to explain how Vox is able to be at the hotel when he can't in the show, I'll explain it a bit more in the next chapter. For right now, we'll just say Alastor wouldn't think Vox would be stupid enough to approach a place that he is staying at but since he's 'not at the hotel' right now, that means it's left 'unprotected'. I know there's more to why he can't spy on the hotel but I'll explain it with my story lore for the series. Just know Alastor is NOT going to be a happy camper when he finds out about this.
So Blitzo gave Jenny her phone back but he's still hiding the fact that David isn't looking for her. How long can he keep this a secret before she finds out?
Also if you know the meaning of the flowers Stolas and Alastor gave Jenny, feel free to share them in the comments!
Hopefully you guys enjoyed the chapter! When I get back from my vacation we'll celebrate being 40 chapters in with the story. Can't believe we're this far and we haven't even gotten through half of both shows.
Please review and tell me what you think!
Take care!
