Summary: AU. Abbie often gets teased for being shy in many ways, and people don't understand her, except Jimmy Novak. At Ruby's party, a game of truth or dare leads to a kiss between Jimmy and Abbie and their beautiful relationship is born. Please R&R!

Disclaimer: I don't own Supernatural or its characters. I only own Abbie Summers.

A/N: Hopefully this story is uplifting, because even though it starts a little angsty, it will get better. I want to put across how much one person can help strengthen another and in this case, how Jimmy's love for Abbie will give her all the confidence and self esteem she needs. Her schoolmates will sometimes get big shocks and I may go into their adult lives with this since it begins towards the end of their final year of high school.

Please enjoy and please leave a review!

Shy

~Chapter One: Party Antics~

Walking through the school gates, Abbie had a flyer thrust into her hand by Ruby Masters. School would start in about ten minutes. The April morning was beautiful, the sun out and shining, birds singing in the nearby trees and white clouds gently floating by. It was all the façade that made Abbie believe she'd be having a good day today. The sun was warm on her, even through her black jacket which sat neatly on her shoulders as always.

"Party at my place tomorrow night, Abbie." Ruby said, "Feel free to come along."

"Thanks." Abbie replied weakly, blushing and heading through towards her group of friends with her head bowed low.

She'd put on her purple tank top and dark blue jeans today. Jimmy said he liked that outfit. She'd also left her dark brown hair wavy as Jimmy liked it, wearing her white sneakers which were so comfortable she could've melted into them.

Abbie Summers was eighteen. She'd never kissed a boy in her life, she'd never slept with anyone, and she'd barely touched a drop of alcohol. She went to church on Sundays where she saw Jimmy Novak and his family, his twin Castiel and his older brothers, Gabriel, Michael and Lucifer. Lucifer was always given odd looks in church but he just brushed them off. She went with her older brother, Andy and her parents, Dawn and Grant. She often sat by Jimmy. He gave her peace, he never judged her and he always made her smile.

Abbie was so shy that she couldn't raise her hand in class and give an answer. She could barely look her teachers in the eye and she couldn't tell Jimmy Novak how she felt about him. Her dark blue eyes met his bright blue ones and he smiled softly, tapping his twin on the shoulder whilst getting his other friends' attention.

"Morning, Abbie." He said sweetly, the others adding their greetings to her which made Abbie blush and smile.

"Morning, guys."

"Oh, you got a flyer for the party too?" Dean Winchester asked, Abbie nodding in response, "You coming?"

"Sure..." She said nervously, "I've never been to a party before...I'd like to try it."

"Well, it'll be great because we'll all be there." Jimmy said, "Parties are awesome, depending on who goes."

"Oh." Abbie replied, feeling a flush on her cheeks again, "Maybe I shouldn't come..."

"Why not?" Anna Milton asked with disbelief, snuggling into her boyfriend Ash's side.

"I...I'd only...um..."

Abbie looked to her fingers and pulled on them nervously, now so embarrassed she could barely meet the eyes of her friends.

"I...I'm not cut out for parties..." She said quietly and sadly, "I'm...people just laugh at whatever I do..."

"Hey," Jimmy said softly, taking her gently by the arms, "Look at me, Abbie."

Abbie did with sparkling eyes, ones that looked ready to fill with tears.

"Listen, we're all gonna be there with you, okay?" He promised, "Come on, it'll be so much fun...and...we'll not let anyone hurt you or upset you, alright?"

Abbie smiled softly and nodded, opening her arms to Jimmy who wrapped his around her and held her close. She stood only a few inches shorter than him and she buried her face in his shoulder, thanking him with gentle words which Jimmy smiled at, stroking her hair soothingly. Jimmy hated to see her feeling so down about herself. She had little self esteem and confidence, and it was all caused by the people who bullied her in school.

In elementary school, yeah, she was a little shy, and everyone thought she'd come out of her shell a little bit in middle school. She didn't and that's when the bullying started. She was so shy that in sports lessons, she would get changed in the girls' bathroom in the gym block rather than in the locker room with the other girls.

He hated it when people would make a comment in the corridor or in the yard, even in class sometimes too. The teachers did nothing to help poor Abbie who once had run out of the classroom out of pure embarrassment. This party would hopefully do her some good and maybe people would see how fun and sweet she really was.

The sun was setting over Lawrence, Kansas and Abbie applied her last bit of make-up, her lip gloss, before looking in the mirror. She was wearing her nicest pair of dark blue jeans and a dark pink off the shoulder top. She looked nice...which made a change (in her eyes). She headed towards Ruby's house, meeting her friends on the front porch and all of them heading inside.

Three hours into the party and Abbie was just the butt of the joke. The kids began playing truth or dare, Abbie hoping and praying that the bottle wouldn't land on her. Unfortunately, it did.

"Abbie. Truth or dare?" Ruby asked, Abbie looking to Jimmy worriedly before answering.

"Truth..."

"Do you want Jimmy Novak to be your boyfriend?"

Abbie's heart stopped dead. Everyone was staring at her and she knew her number was up. She'd have to tell the truth. For one thing, she was an appalling liar, and another, someone clearly knew this to be true or the question wouldn't have been asked.

"Um...I..."

"Awww, this is precious!" Meg, Ruby's non-identical triplet laughed, "She's got the hots for our golden boy, Novak over there!"

She burst into laughter the others doing the same before Abbie snapped.

"I don't want to answer that question."

Everyone stopped and looked at her.

"It's a forfeit then." Ruby replied, Lilith, the other non-identical triplet giggling in response.

"You've got to kiss him." She sneered, "That or you get thrown in the pool."

Abbie didn't want to get thrown in the pool. Her clothes were brand new and her make-up would be a mess. Then she'd have to go home and she'd look so stupid. She looked to Jimmy with terrified eyes, knowing that he now knew the truth about her feelings and that she wanted him as her boyfriend. Jimmy was sitting right next to her and he knew everything. Abbie looked at him with tearful, apologetic eyes, but Jimmy shook his head gently and he leaned forward, brushing his lips against hers in a gentle kiss.

Abbie tensed up, a tear falling down her face before she couldn't take anymore. It was all too much; first the question, then the jeers and the laughs, then the forfeit and Jimmy's kiss. He'd just kissed her willingly and not knowing what was going on or what to do, Abbie got up and ran for the door, grabbing her bag and coat on the way. Jimmy gasped, grabbing his coat and jumping up after her while leaving a lot of laughing and jeering teenagers behind.

"Abbie!" He called, chasing after the younger girl who was in tears, "Abbie, wait! Please!"

Abbie didn't want to but she was running out of breath, and she stumbled and fell as she began to climb the grass verge to cut across the playground near her house. She was so close to her home, to her room where she could just hide under the covers from the world and she wouldn't have to face anyone until Monday. She was so close but then she felt hands on her arms and she screamed, realising it was Jimmy who was with her.

"Abbie, it's okay..." He soothed, cupping her cheek and holding her hand, "It's alright...it's alright..."

"It's not..." Abbie sobbed, wanting nothing more than to just be left alone, "It isn't okay! It isn't alright, Jimmy!"

She looked at him, swallowing thickly and trying to catch her breath.

"They just made a complete fool out of me in there!" She cried, "I...I knew I shouldn't have come, Jimmy! I knew it!"

Jimmy cupped her face, feeling the threat of tears himself as he stared at his distraught friend.

"Abbie...listen..." He said softly, Abbie shaking her head and sobbing, "Do you really, genuinely have feelings for me?"

Abbie sighed brokenly and nodded, Jimmy smiling so brightly at her she didn't know what to do.

"That's okay!" He promised, "That's really...more than okay...that's brilliant..."

"Why?" Abbie asked, Jimmy stroking her face soothingly.

"Because I've got feelings for you too, Abbie..." He said, "I've wanted you for so long...I just...I didn't think you wanted me too..."

Abbie assumed Jimmy was joking, and to reassure her that he wasn't, he could only do one thing. He leaned forward and pressed his lips to hers again. Abbie stopped breathing for a moment as Jimmy moved his experienced lips against her inexperienced ones, winding protective arms around her and holding her close in her true, real first kiss.
