If You Ever Come Back ~Peterick Fanfic~

19 - He Will Always Be My Friend

Pete's POV

"Come on, we have to go!", I say but Andy stops me. I turn around with a confused expression and look at him. He looks at me like I'm a little brother who just made an incredibly stupid mistake which only little boys make.

"Do you even know where we have to go?", he sighs like he already knows the answer.

"Well... Um- I don't... Really...", I whisper and my face turns red. "But I don't care. We have to find our way out before some of those blue-eyed zombies find us".

"He's got a point there, dude", Dan says while he looks at Andy. "We've seen those creeps and the only reason they didn't kill us is because Lucifer told them so".

I see Andy shrink when Dan says the name of the Devil. "Don't... Don't say that name again", he whispers. "Please". He then looks up again, strong as always.

"Fine. Let's go", he mumbles and starts to walk, not even looking back to see if we're following. We look at eachother with a confused expression, shrug and start to follow him.

I notice that Andy isn't running at all. He doesn't look like he's in a hurry, but seems to show some confidence that would make me run away if I would see him right now.

We follow in silence and haven't come across one living creature as we reach a door. Andy stops in front of it and gives it a small push. To our suprise, it opens without any trouble. We give a short glance at eachother and walk out.

We're standing outside what seems like an abandoned building, but we know better. There are woods almost all around us but there isn't enough time to examine the surroundings. Andy starts to run and we follow him without questioning it.

He only stops when we're at least 3 miles away from that horrifying place. It looks like we're in the middle of the woods but I can hear the sound of cars in the distance, so we can't be too far from a road.

Me, Dan and Phil are completely out of breath while Andy looks like we didn't just run 3 miles through the forest. I sit down with my back against a tree and bury my head in my hands. A human being can only take so much and it's all too much for me now.

I thought I had my loved one back, only to get him taken away from me again. And he doesn't even recognize me. I am a monster in his eyes, he wants me dead. And the worst thing is, I can't even die. I'm already dead.

I refuse to cry and take a deep breath, trying to clear my mind. I look up at my friends who are standing there quite awkwardly.

"So, now you have to tell your side of the story and then I'll tell mine", I say. They all nod and Dan opens his mouth to begin.

"I don't remember much of the fight, because me and Phil got knocked out really fast. I don't know what it was, we just felt something hit our head and we were unconscious.

When we woke up, we were tied to that pole and we couldn't see anything because of the complete darkness in the room.

I think we've been sitting there for two hours until you came to save us".

"T- that's it?", I ask, a bit disappointed. Dan nods and I bite my lip, ready to tell my story.

I tell them everything, about how Patrick knocked me out, telling me I was his mission, about how I woke up in that straitjacket, about the boy that saved me and then died in front of my eyes.

About how I escaped and ran through those corridors for what seemed like hours, until I found Patrick.

About how he didn't recognise me, and about how he would kill me if he got the chance...

I stop talking and look down, tears welling up in my eyes as Andy says something.

"You haven't heard my side of the story yet", he says with his low voice.

"But you were with us the entire time?", Dan says confusedly. Andy shakes his head.

"No, not that story. This is about before this. About before I even met you. I knew Lucifer. He was one of my best friends...". Everyone wanted to ask questions but we didn't, letting him talk.

"My real name is Adonael, but I changed it after he fell... It reminded me of him and I couldn't handle it.

He wasn't a bad person. Not at all. It was just that he was always in the shadow of his brother... God. He was the ruler of Heaven and Lucifer could do nothing but watch how everyone loved his brother and forgot about him.

It became too much for him and he did something horrible. I tried my best to stop him from doing it but he wasn't someone you just stop.

He pretended he died just so God would go looking for him and when God was gone, Lucifer killed all of the guards and left. God came back to see that a massacre had happened.

I was asked questions and even though I knew it was horrible to betray my best friend, he had to be punished. Little did I know he would be banished from heaven!

They found Lucifer and cast him out, taking his wings and with that all of his status. I will never forget how he looked at me before he fell... Everything he does now... It's my fault..."

"No, it's not", Dan says. "He's a sick psycho and-"

"Don't you dare say that again", Andy interrupts him. "He might do the wrong things now but he will always be my friend. Would you sat those things about Phil?"

Dan looks down and shakes his head, clearly ashamed of what he just said.

"So... What are we gonna do now?", Phil asks.

"We have to get Patrick out of that building, which I think won't be too hard because I'm almost sure Lucifer will send him after us", I reply

"Then we should be prepared, shouldn't we?", Andy says casually.

I nod and I know that this won't be just a battle to get Patrick back. We are about to start a war between Hell and Heaven...

A/N: I'm so sorry for not updating for so long but I had a lot of homework and I just didn't have the time.

Anyway, I hope you like this chapter and OMFG we're almost at 1.5K. IT'S GOING SO FAST.

I remember when I posted the first chapter and thought this would never get any more than 100 reads. I didn't think we would be at almost 20 chapters and 1.5K reads!

Thank you all so much for staying here through all of the feels. You're the best readers in the entire universe.
