I walk down the halls. The bath is over, so are my memories. At least for now. I hear music. This music wasn't sinister. It's happy. I see everyone was talking and making merry. Then there's me. When everyone saw me, they all gasped. Angel blushed. 

"How's everyone doing this fine evening?" I asked. 

"Wow! Al, you look great. I know you didn't want to but, wow." Charlie said.

"Please stop it. It's not a big deal." I say waving my hand.

"But it is!" Charlie yelled hugging me. 

I gasped. This is definitely a first. I've never been hugged like this before. I've never been hugged at all, before. 

"I'm so proud of you Alastor. I know you didn't have to. You didn't want to, but you did. That's amazing! I thank you for the bottom of my heart." Charlie said. 

That's definitely a first. She moved away from me. She smiled a lot at me. It felt good warm and stuff. 

"Nice outfit." Angel said. 

"I can see you've cleaned." I say. 

I moved my hand around Angel. 

"I'll expect you in bed later." I whispered. 

I walked away. I can tell Angel's blushing. The party went on. There were lights, a disco, drinks. 

"Load me up." I say. 

He gave me a glass. I started drinking. Partings not my thing. I've never actually been to one before. This is another first. I started coughing. I put my hand over my mouth. I coughed. I took my hand off. Blood. There's blood on it.
