Charlie's pov

I stuck in the beach photo into the scrapbook with a smile. That day of bonding and fun memories is something I'm not going to forget for a long time.

I decided to flip through the scrapbook. I had plenty of photos on account of me starting this book when I first opened the hotel. I called it my redemption scrap book. Covered it in rainbow glitter and everything. Vaggie thought it was too much but I think it's just the right amount.

I smiled at every old photo I came across. The photo I took of vaggie flashing me a peace sign when her hair was short and she was covered in bandages. Crazy to think I didn't know she was an angel at that point. The first picture I took of angel who was giving me the middle finger, I'm glad he started to let his walls down. That glitchy photo of al, he never did like getting his photo taken. Husk and angel's first drink together, me and Vaggies first date, dad flying me in his arms all of those little moments were captured in this handy dandy scrapbook.

I stopped at one of the more recent pages. It was a picture of me and sir pensious wearing funny hats and just being goofballs. I felt tears prick my eyes but this time it wasn't dread I was feeling, it was hope. I will prove redemption is possible. I have faith in each and every one of them.

"You ok in there honey?" Vaggie knocked on the door.

"Just fine!" I quickly wiped my tears away and jumped to answer the door.

"Good. We were actually hoping you'd join us for a drink" she smiled softly.

"That sounds great!" I took her hand and jogged downstairs. Once I got there I saw everyone laughing and sharing a drink together.

"They're getting along" a smile crept up my face.

Vaggie nodded "that trip took all the stress out of their system. Seems like it will be smooth sailing from here on out"

"Yeah" I teared up at the beautiful sight before me. Seems redemption's a lot closer than we thought...

The end.
