Chapter 25
I watched as Gabe had caught the fireball in his hand. The fireball shifted to a lavender cooler as it levitated in his hand. He then closed his hand and opened it revealing nothing. The room went silent as ever before. Gabe just stopped Lucifer's fireball. Not only did he stop it but he also held it and destroyed it.
I looked back at Lucifer who was standing there in shock. He then shook his head, "I don't give a fuck. She fucking lied and sleep around with -"
"Shut the fuck up," Gabe spoke in a casual tone.
Lucifer and the rest of us was a bit taken back by his choice of words. "Did you just tell me to-"
"Shut the fuck up? Yes, yes I did," Gabe spoke in a monotone. Lucifer grew angrier as he was now in demon form. "I don't give a fuck if you're an angel, I could still kick your ass," he threatened.
"Do you see that?" Gabe asked.
"See what?" Lucifer hissed.
Gabe walked up to Lucifer and flew up a bit to get on Lucifer's demon form level. "Do you see the fucks I give? Because I don't," he bluntly replied.
Lucifer's body inflamed even more and he grabbed Gabe by the neck. I went to jump in and help Gabe but Sean held me back. Before I could protect, I watched as Gabe pried Lucifer's hand off him managing not to get burn before he casually threw Lucifer out the front door which was now broken.
He then flew out and we ran out to the driveway. Gabe was now on top of Lucifer who was pinned down to the ground. Gabe threw punches after punches down onto Lucifer.
"Don't you ever fucking touch my sister again or even call her names. I can't even believe you would think she fucked around with Sean behind your back and even if she did, she would be better off with someone who doesn't fucking burn her. You son of a bitch," Gabe shouted as he punched Lucifer in the rip. Lucifer was now in his human form and Gabe picked him up by his collar before holding him inches away from his face.
"You're fucking lucky I can't kill you. I would of done it that same day at the ballroom when you first all met us and broke Skylar's necklace. After all Sky has been though and you treat her like this. I get she lied to you but I bet you wouldn't want to kill the person would killed your love one. Instead, you would want them to suffer the way you did. I see right through you Lucifer. You should fucking be ashamed of yourself. You've made countless mistakes and she forgive you. She makes ones and you can't forgive her and truly speaking, this isn't even a mistaken. Did she tried to tell you?" Gabe asked him as he kept a hold on Lucifer's collar.
"She deserves to-"
"I fucking asked you a question," he shook Lucifer up as if he was just a bottle of juice.
Kind of funny to be honest.
"Did she tried to tell you?" Gabe gritted through his teeth.
"Yes," Lucifer mumbled.
Gabe released him and looked over to the guys. "Sean and I are cool. We talked things over and I trust him. I don't expect you to understand any of this," he softly spoke as his wings merged into his back.
James walked up to him and stood 2 feet away.
"We don't care how complex the situation is. You're still family and we will take your word for it. It's good to have you home brother," James spoke before hugging Gabe to which he instantly hugged him back. The guys all smiled as they all joined in on a group hug.
I looked over to Sean who was on his phone. I then saw his hand. The veins in his hand were appearing to be a purplish blue. It was going up his hand and looked to be spreading throughout his body. It sprouted up his neck and across his eye.
"What's happening?" I choked out my words.
His eyes widened as he looked at his hand to see what I was seeing. He then closed his phone before looking at me. His eyes settled down as he looked at me with soft features. "Nothing major," he spoke and I knew he was lying.
"He's dying," a voice came from the center of the driveway. We both turned to see it was Lucifer. He had a smirk on his face as if he was happy this was happening.
I looked back at Sean who was already looking at me. "He's lying right?" my voice cracked.
He shook his head, "He's not. It's a rare condition in demons. It something like cancer but there's no tumor. It's just in the genes. The veins is the last step of the final day. Tomorrow I die," he trailed off.
Tears started to stream down my face and I hugged him. "Don't cry please. I hate seeing you cry," he spoke as I cried into his chest.
"We just fixed everything," I muffled into his chest.
"Which is good. I could be at piece now and you and your brother can have a peace of mind not having to worry about this whole thing ever again," he informed me.
A scoff came besides us, "Fuck that," Gabe shrieked, "Dude, you were honestly more entertaining and a hell of a friend. Despite what may have happened, we always had a great time when you were around," he admitted.
Cody came up besides Gabe, nodding, "It's true. Will you do us the honor in spending your last moments with us?" he asked.
I looked back up at Sean who was looking down at me with a smile. "I would love to but it may be depressing and -"
"We don't care and wouldn't accept no for an answer," James spoke in a stern tone.
He nodded his head with a small smile only to receive a scoff from someone. We looked to see Lucifer walking down the driveway. Part of me was a bit hurt he was still being ignorant but the other part didn't care so much. Sean spent the rest of the day with the guys and I. Micah and Axel also joined us and stayed over for the night. We went to arcade, then to the movies then to a restaurant. We were now back home in the pool.
Music was blasting and the air was filled with the smell of beer, cigarettes and chlorine. Throughout the entire time, Sean was laughing and smiling which made me happy. He also got to reunite with Axel and Micah which was a plus. I'm glad I never actually killed Sean but I think he knew I wouldn't kill him all along. I don't think I could live with myself if I found out what his true intentions were.
~~~
My door slowly creaked open and I turned on my heels to see it was James. His eyes were a bit red as if he had been crying. I felt my heart dropped as I had a feeling as to why he came.
"Time?" I managed to choke out as I threw my towel in the basket. James nodded as he held the door open for me. "It's time. You're the last one," he softly spoke.
I walked towards him to which he lead me down the hall and towards the room Sean was in. All the guys were sitting around in the hallway. Axel, Micah and even Jayson was here as well. As we got closer, Sean's door opened revealing Lucifer. He made no hesitating into walking out Sean's room passed me. He didn't say a word or even glimpsed at me.
What was he even doing here?
I looked to James who nodded his head towards the room gesturing for me to go in. I did as gestured to and closed the door behind me. I looked at the bed to see Sean was in sweats and a t-shirt and was wearing an oxygen mask. A smile rose to his face as he looked towards me.
I forced a smile on my face despite my heart aching for him inside.
I walked up to him and sat on the opposite side of his bed. He opened his arms and I climbed into them as if I was a little child. Laying my head on his chest, I could hear his breathing was slower along with his heart beat.
"You're the best thing that ever happened to me," he spoke through the oxygen mask. I felt a tear slipped out.
"I'm sure there's other things in your life that can be considered the best thing to ever happened to you," I admitted.
He let out a chuckle, "Would it kill you to accept you're innocent and good."
I nodded my head, "Yeah, it might kill me," I jokingly replied.
We both chuckled before drifting off into silence.
"You've taught me so much in such little time than I have ever known in centuries. Although you don't see it, you're amazing in so many ways. I don't understand something though," he trailed off.
I sat up and looked at him, "What's that?"
"You didn't kill me. I know you wanted to torture me but you never actually did. Why?" he asked.
A bit shook up by his question, I shrugged, "I'm not sure. I guess piece of me still loved you as in the old friend I remembered. I still cared for you deep down and I wasn't sure how to punish you," I admitted.
His eyebrow rose, "You could of bend me over and spank me," he then wiggled his eyebrows. I rolled my eyes, "You would like that."
A smirk rose to his lips, "I would like it more if I was doing it to you," he winked.
"Such a fuck boy," I joked.
He let out a chuckle and pulled me closer. He took off the oxygen mask and kissed my forehead before I laid my head back down on his chest. From the corner of my eye, I could see him turning off the oxygen machine before he wrapped his arms around me.
"I want you to do me a favor," he asked.
"What's that?"
"Forgive Lucifer," he replied.
I stayed quiet.
"I know what he did was wrong but he didn't mean for it to go that far. He was just mad and felt betrayed," Sean argued.
"I get that but when someone feels mad or betrayed, they don't go around burning people," I defended.
"Understandable but you have to remember where he comes from. He's just jealous someone would take you away from him. He hates the idea of losing you," Sean informed me.
I stayed silent.
"Please forgive him for me," he asked.
"You can't pull the dying card on me and ask me to forgive him," I sighed.
He let out a weak chuckle, "I just did and you ain't gonna do shit," he jokingly replied causing me to laugh. He then kissed the top of my head again to which I sat up and kissed his forehead.
He then took my hand in his. "These last days have been the best days of my life. I'm glad we could have one final time together," he gave a small smile.
Tears were now streaming down his face as this was his way of goodbyes. "Please don't cry," he frowned as he wiped my tears away.
"I still don't understand so much. I don't understand this disease you have or what am I suppose to do after this happens. I still have so much questions and no answers," I cried.
He pulled me closer to him and wrapped me in a hug and my head laid on his shoulders.
"There's still so much questions I have too but that's life. You're not going to get all the answers you want or understand everything that comes your way. The only thing you could do is fight for what you believe is right. Cherish what you have and hold on to your family. After this is all over, I want you to live your life how you want it," he explained.
"I'm going to miss you," I softly spoke.
"I'm going to miss you too but I'll always be with you. Somehow I've linked with you through dreams so where I go, I'll see you in your dreams," he informed me.
"That's not enough. I want you here with me."
"Precious Sky," he spoke in a tired voice, "I love you."
"I love you too," I choked out trying to hold back myself from bawling my eyes out.
His thumb slowly stroked over my knuckles. I watched as his moved slowed down then came to a stop. His grip loosened and it was clear he was gone. I got out of his grasp and sat up. Looking down at him, his eyes were closed but a small smile was on his lips.
He died happy.
