Part two to 'Devil Doesn't Bargain'. I tried as best as I could to incorporate the lyrics into the story.
TW: Mentions of bombs, abuse, plans of murder, injuries.

Cole screamed, running into his office. Stephan chased after him, banging on the door.
"All is forgiven baby!" The red head told him, "Come on, get dressed. You're my date for my film premier tonight!"
"No! Just leave me alone!" Cole yelled back.
"You don't get to make orders, Cole!" Stephan yelled, continuing his monologue;
"You tried chucked me out like I was trash, and for that you should be dead-"
Cole wailed, making Stephan laugh.
"-But then it hit me like a flash, what if the Ninja went away instead? Those assholes are the key; they're keeping you away from me! They've made you blind, messed up your mind, but I can set you free!"
Scrambling away from the door, Cole grabbed his desk chair, tucking it under the brass knob.
"You leave me and I'll fall apart and cry," Stephan started, and a wall was punched.
BAM! BAM! BAM!
"I found you had changed my heart and set loose all that truthful shit inside. And so I'll build a bomb. Soon that Monastery is Vietnam! Let's guarantee they never see their twenty third year!"
Earth whimpered, fumbling in his pockets for his phone.
"I was meant to be yours! We were meant to be one! Don't give up on me now, finish what we've begun!"
The door handle started rattling, and Stephen continued explaining his plan as Cole clicked a contact on his phone.
"So when the Monastery goes boom with everyone inside-" The door was hit again.
BAM! BAM! BAM!
"In the rubble on their tomb, we'll plant this note explaining why they died."
Stephan recited a prewritten note, but Jay had already picked up.
"Cole? What's going on?"
"We'll watch the smoke pour out of the doors. Bring marshmallows, we'll make s'mores! We can cuddle while the fire roars!"
"I tried to break it off. He didn't listen," Cole whispered, tears pouring down his face, "Help, please!" A loud bang, and Cole screamed.
"I was meant to be yours, we were meant to be one!" Stephan repeated, and Cole backed away further, "I can't do this alone, let's finish what we've begun!
"I am all that you need! You carved open my heart, can't just leave me to bleed!"
Cole moved towards the window. It was the only one on the top floor large enough for him to climb out of and low enough to jump from, so it was always locked and bolted.
Curling his fist, Cole struck it, smashing it and cutting his knuckles. Wincing, he pulled himself onto the wooden windowsill, hoisting one leg onto the outside of the house.
However, Stephan's now calmer voice made him look back.
"Cole, open the- open the door please. Cole, open the door. Cole, can we not fight anymore- please, can we not fight anymore?"
Cole edged further out of the window as the chair started sliding from behind the door.
"Cole, sure you're scared- I've been there- but I can set you free!" Stephan's tone suddenly became more aggressive again, and Cole had one leg fully dangling outside.
"Cole, don't make me come in there, I'm gonna count to three! One-"
The chair fully fell over, and Cole tugged his second leg over the sill, slitting his thigh on some of the remaining glass in his haste. First mistake.
"Two-"
Hissing, he instinctively let go of the frame to feel the wound. Second mistake.
"Fuck it!"
The door started opening, and Cole quickly looked up. Final mistake.
Losing his balance, he slipped off the frame as Stephan stepped into the room. Screaming, he fell two floors, and hit his head hard on the ground. Sprawled out, broken and rapidly loosing consciousness, he closed his eyes as blood slowly pooled out around him, framed his head with red liquid.
Stephan gasped, tears streamed down his face. He ran towards the window, and saw the damage.
"Oh my God! No, Cole!" He closed his eyes as sirens could be heard in the distance, sobbing silently. Finally, as blue and red lights filled the area, he spoke again.
"Please don't leave me alone; you are all I can trust. I can't do this alone..."
He straightened up, seeing the Ninja arriving and spotting Cole's unconscious form. He also noticed the police approaching the house.
"Still I will if I must!" He moved away from the window, and ran from the scene.

Oh no, cliff-hanger. I might make an third part, or I could end it here. Anyway, sorry for not updating for a while, hopefully some new chapters can be published. Until then, byee!
