A/N: Can y'all please check out my thiscrush page? You can find me on quietlyobsessed or multifandom4life.

Pete's POV

The moment I kissed him was like nothing I had ever experienced before. All of the repressed emotions that had been torturing me finally disappeared. It was perfect.

But I know perfect moments can never last long, and I'm right. Behind me Andy coughs noisily and I pull away, sighing.

He tries to look serious but at the sight of my blushing face with a huge smile on it, he can't help but chuckle a little.

"So uhm... If you two lovebirds are done making out, we can maybe discuss some things", he says.

"Like how you seem to completely forget this person tried to kill you, only hours ago".

Patrick seems to shrink under Andy's gaze and turns red. He looks down and you can see he is hurt by his own memories.

"I- That... That wasn't me... It was Lucifer inside my head... He controlled me...", he mumbles.

"And how do we know Lucifer won't appear in your head again all of a sudden and makes you kill all of us?", Andy says.

"Shut up, Andy!", I shout. "You know that we can defend ourselves if he does that!".

"That's not the point!", Andy shouts back, and his low voice makes it sound like thunder. "I don't fucking trust this guy, Pete!

You've known him for years but I see him as the guy who nearly strangled you, and I don't see why I should trust him!"

Patrick is close to tears and even I am shaking. The anger in my chest is building up and I can't believe that I used to call this person my friend.

"Then you leave! Because Patrick sure as hell isn't leaving!", I am about to say more things but Patrick's hand on my shoulder stops me.

"Pete... He's right. You can't trust me. The last thing I heard from Lucifer was that I am not done yet...", he whispers.

"See? I knew it! He- ", Andy shouts.

"Shut the fuck up!", I interrupt him, screaming at the top of my lungs.

"No, you shut up!", Andy steps forward, which leads to him standing so close to me that there is barely an inch of space between us.

"You are so blinded by your stupid goddamn love that you foget that this is about more than you! This is about all of us!

If I die, you won't be able to get back to heaven, you understand that? And I don't think Dan and Phil will ever be able to forget that.

They've been through Hell and now you're making them go through it again! But you, you are so goddamn selfish that you forget all of that! You only think about you have to find your own fucking true love!

But you know, Pete? If you want to continue with your true love, you do it without me!"

He turns around, pushing me so hard I fall on the ground, and walks away.

Patrick helps me up and looks me in the eye, a sad smile on his face. My breathing is going so fast I can see stars in front of my eyes.

"That fucking asshole...", I mumble. "We don't need him. And the others can go too if- "

"We won't", Phil's voice interrupts me.

I look up to see that Dan and Phil have been listening to our entire conversation. They heard everything...

"We won't leave you, Pete", Phil says again. "We were with you from the beginning, and we'll stay with you until the end".

Tears appear in my eyes and Dan and Phil walk towards me to give me a giant grouphug.

Patrick stands awkwardly on the side but Dan looks at him and gives a little nod. With a smile, Patrick joins the hug.

We keep standing there for a while, just enjoying eachother's company. We may not seem like much alone, but together, we are a force that can shake the world.

After a while, I take a step back. I look at my friends, standing in front of me, and at the love of my life, standing right next to me.

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

"I suggest you tell me what the fuck you guys were shouting about!", a voice from behind us says.

"Lucifer, Heaven, Hell? Are you guys on drugs or something?"

My heart stops a beat and I jump up. I totally forgot Dan Reynolds was still here and his voice scared the living shit out of me.

"Well...", Phil starts awkwardly. "This uh... This is gonna sound really weird..."

"Just fucking tell it!", Dan shouts. "I'm getting goddamn nervous of this shit!"

So Phil tells everything. About our time in Heaven. About my dream of Patrick. About our journey to earth. About how Lucifer brainwashed Patrick and tied us up. And finally, about how we got here.

Dan just stands there, and you see his face become pale. It almost looks like he is going to faint so I say something.

"Dan... Are- are you okay?", I ask.

"Are you guys sure you didn't eat some bad mushrooms while I wasn't looking?", Dan just asks.

"And if you didn't, you guys are in some big shit...", he mumbles after.

We just nod and stand silently. I'm starting to doubt if it was a good idea to tell this man everything.

"And if you're in such big shit...", he continues. "I guess I can't do anything but help you get out of it". A little smirk makes his lips curl up and his eyes sparkle.

"Are you serious?", we all say at the same time.

"We told you it was Lucifer possessing Patrick", I say. "This is not just some bad guy, this is the actual Devil! If you help us, your risk of dying is quite high".

"Kid?", Dan smiles. "My risk of dying is always quite high. A Devil more or less won't make a difference.

And since that black-haired asshole decided to quit, I can take his place. If you don't mind, obviously".

"Of course we don't mind!", Dan Howell says. "The more people we have on our side, the bigger our chances are".

"We've got a chance...", Phil sudddenly mumbles, and it sounds so adorable that we all start to laugh.

"No, I'm serious!", Phil says louder. "We can win this!"

"Indeed we can", I say. "And I won't leave this earth without Lucifer dead. And I promise, I'll keep you alive. All of you. I swear".

"You don't have to promise that for me, kid", Dan Reynolds smirks. "I can keep myself alive".

"I hope so, because I sure as hell can't", Phil laughs.

And on that note, we get into Dan's car, all a little nervous but with adrenaline pumping through our veins.

Ready to fight.

A/N: Ooowh preparing for battle! Shit's gonna get exciting. And sorry for making Andy such a dickhead, I absolutely love him but I just had to make somebody an asshole.

Oh, and please don't judge me, I'm really bad at writing fighting scenes so yeah...
