Riley's POV:
"Shit, Shit, Shit, Shit." Riley mumbled to herself as she leaned over the sink clutching its sides as she looked in the mirror staring into her bright green eyes as she began catching her breath.
After a few moments, she regained her breath after the long run she just accomplished from the bus stop to the small rental house her and Dean were currently staying at, and into the only bathroom.
Working up enough energy, she maneuver to the toilet and gently sat on the lid and lifted up her shirt to examine her without a doubt, infected belly button ring which was now slightly bleeding. Riley cringed at the sight of the blood and pulled her shirt back down before becoming anymore nauseous and angry for that matter.
"Ugh." Riley huffed out.
Dean was right, a belly ring was just asking for trouble, well not the kind of trouble he spoke about, but this kind of trouble was just as bad. Riley thought.
After months and months of begging Dean to allow me to get my belly button pierced he finally caved and said I could get it for my fifteenth birthday. Of course, me being in my 'rebellious hormonal teenage girl stage' as Dean liked to call it, my birthday was one month to long away and I couldn't wait any longer. So me being the dumb ass that I can be, went behind his back and let a friend I was actually able to make in the short time we lived in this town, pierce it for me. Yeah, definitely wasn't one of the better idea's I've had lately.
"Riley! You okay in there!" Dean called from the other side of the door with a little worry in his voice.
Oh crap. Riley thought before speaking. "I'm fine, just really had to pee. I'll be out in a second." Riley lied, almost smiling at the brilliant coverup. Dean and Sam always joked about her having the smallest bladder known to man kind. So running to the bathroom wasn't something out of the ordinary.
Her smile quickly faded at the thought of Sam. Her and Dean haven't talked to him ever since he left for Stanford two years ago. Of course she was happy for Sam to be able to live a normal life and go to school, but she missed him more than words can describe. At first she was upset, but that eventually changed to anger when Sam decided his promise to keep in touch didn't hold up. Her and Dean tried calling him countless of times to only get his voice mail. After awhile Riley didn't bother calling. Now, she learned to except the fact that Sam didn't want to be apart of their lives anymore. Believing this helped divert her real feelings for the time being.
Dean on the other hand was hurting pretty bad, of course he covered it up for her sake, and his as well, but Riley has been around Dean her whole fourteen years of life and knew exactly how Dean's mind worked. But then again, Dean knew exactly how her mind worked as well so her whole 'don't give a damn about Sam' facade was just as pointless as Dean's.
After what felt like hours of thinking, which in reality was only seconds, Riley sat up from the toilet seat and flushed the empty toilet to keep up with her lie. She then went to the sink and quickly but gently cleaned the blood and puss from her infected belly ring. Definitely gonna have to tell Dean if this doesn't get better soon, man is he gonna be pissed when he finds out I got it done on my own. I'm gonna have to clean the weapons for the rest of my life! Herfather was on a hunt and wouldn't be here for this unfortunate situation or he'd have her over his knee in a second! Although she knew her dad would never spank her, he's definitely came close.
After walking out of the bathroom and into the living room, Dean was at the kitchen table packing up the weapons. Her gaze diverted to the front door where a packed duffel bag sat.
"What's going on?" Riley spoke up causing Dean to turn to face her.
"I still haven't been able to get a hold of dad, he's been on that hunt for two weeks Ry, something's not right, and it was supposed to be a simple salt and burn." Dean answered back running a hand across the back of his neck worriedly.
Riley's eyes went wide at the truth behind Dean's words, her stomach suddenly hurting, and not from the belly button ring problem.
"Shit, okay I'll go pack. The hunt was in Jericho right?" She asked as she started walking to her small bedroom.
"Yeah, but we're making a stop first." Dean said with almost a hint of nervousness.
"What, where? Dean, we don't have time to make stops if dad is in danger! He could be hurt, or even be dea-"
Before she could finish her sentence Dean cut her off quickly, "He's not dead Riley! Don't say that!" Dean yelled causing Riley to stop in her tracks and her breath to hitch. She knew what she said was wrong, she always had the problem of speaking before thinking. Dean always told her it was a habit that would come and bite her in the ass. She learned to live with it, like how she learned to live with her horrible clumsiness and unfortunate small size. Man, she got the worst Winchester genes! Her height was no more then 5'2 while Dean was a tall 6'1, and last she saw of Sam, he was a whopping 6'4!."
"Sorry." Riley said just loud enough for Dean to hear. "So where do we have to stop?" She added almost forgetting.
"Palo Alto." was all Dean said. Riley stiffened and turned to face Dean, who was already watching her.
"As in Stanford?" Riley said as she put a hand on her hip with a bit of attitude that Dean would not put up with.
"Lose the damn attitude Riley, and yes, we're going to talk to Sam, I don't know how bad this dad situation is, and we can use all the help we can get, plus, Sam has the right to know that dad is missing." Dean replied and began walking, closing the space between Riley and himself.
"Dean, we haven't talked to Sam in two years. I think he's moved on. And dad, remember what he told Sam the night he told us about his scholarship? That if he walked out that door, to never come back! And that's exactly what he did Dean! They don't give a shit about each other. So why bother?" Riley raised her voice out of anger but the tears in her eye's showed her sadness.
"Ry" Dean softly said pulling Riley into a tight hug then rested his chin on her head. "That night, dad and Sam said things they didn't mean, they were both angry and hurt. They still care about each other, we're family and nothing can get in the way of that." Dean continued, stroking Riley's back. "You understand that, right?'
Riley, sobbing and not being able to answer back just nodded her head and continued to cry into Dean's chest.
She may be a Winchester and have grown up with three men, but Riley still had her fair share of girl moments, and more of them now-a-days. Dean has been adjusting to them slowly but surely, considering he wasn't a fan of chick flick moments. But he would do anything to make his siblings feel better.
"I'll help you pack a bag, and then we'll get going." Dean offered walking forward to Riley's room slowly because Riley was still gripping him and had no intention of letting go.
~ Later ~
Riley woke up with a frightened jolt at the sound of thunder. Suddenly her heart was racing, but she then felt a familiar hand on her arm and opened her eyes to see Dean cast her a quick smile.
"Hey, hey, Ry, it's okay just some thunder, your okay." Dean reassured glancing back at the road helping Riley ease a bit. She hated thunder with a burning passion.
She sat up and tried to get as comfortable as she could in the passenger seat of the impala. Pain suddenly hit her, she knew she must have fallen asleep in an awkward position which caused her belly button to hurt like a bitch. She winced at the pain. Dean must have noticed.
"You alright?" He asked.
"Yeah, 'm fine, just slept weird and strained my neck." Riley lied rubbing her uninjured neck.
"Oh quit your bitchin'." Dean said playfully.
"Asshole." Riley snickered and playfully slapped Dean's arm. "So how much longer till we get there?" Riley asked fidgeting in her seat a bit.
"Actually we're here, and thank god, I know that look on your face. Your about to piss your pants aren't you?" Dean laughed as he pulled into a apartment complex.
"What? No, I don't have pee, I was just trying to get comfortable!" Riley lied, just once she wanted Dean to not feel like some god for knowing exactly how she clicked.
"Whatever you say, your highness." Dean smirked. "Okay I'm goin' inside, you stay here and guard my precious baby."
"Whatever." Riley said rolling her eyes. But glad she wouldn't have to see Sam yet, she was going to put it off for as long as she could.
Minutes passed and Riley's patience was running low, now not only was she about to pee her pants, but she was bored out of her mind. Without thinking she took the keys out of the ignition and hopped out of the car and made her way to the apartment that Dean entered.
Once she was at the door, she quietly put her hand on the doorknob and opened it gently to only trip on a step that 'magically appeared' and fell face first into the apartment.
"Shit! Ow." She yelled and opened her eyes to see Dean's boots an inch away from her face.
"God dammit, Ry! I told you to stay in the car." Dean reprimanded as he helped her up and then she straightened her tank top.
"Sorry I got really bored and I really have to p-" Riley didn't finish, as she saw her brother Sam starring at her as if he just had eyes for the first time. She completely forgot coming inside would mean facing Sam for the first time in two years. She instantly regretted it.
"Riley! Look at you! Your so grown up! Well, I don't think you've gotten any taller but you know what I mean." Sam smiled walking towards her probably looking for a hug. Riley just stepped back, rejecting the hug.
"Come on Riley, don't be like that." Sam's smile completely gone, and now guilt took over his face.
"Don't be like that?" Riley reiterated. "Really Sam? Maybe if you answered when I called, or emailed me back we could have some hug fest, but no, for all I know you had intention of ever seeing me again and your just acting like this because we came to you." Riley teethed back with her hand on her hip.
Sam looked to Dean for what seemed like help, but Dean shrugged back, this was between me and Sam.
Sam huffed, "Riley, it's not like that at all, you don't know how much I missed you both, I just went to school, I would never remove you both from life. Don't ever think that." Sam retorted.
"Really?" Was all Riley could say as tears welled up in her eyes.
"Really." Sam said walking up to Riley and going on his knees so now Riley was a few inches taller then Sam. "I missed you both so much." He said wrapping his arms around his baby sister as she cried into his shoulder.
Sam looked up to Dean with a confused look, "Wait, so why are you guys here again?"
"Dad hasn't been home in a few da-" Dean was cut off by a blonde coming into the room.
"Oh wow, and is that your sister Sam?" The blonde asked, she must have already met Dean.
"Yeah, this is my sister Riley." Sam said loosening his grip around her and standing at full height to properly introduce us.
"Riley, this is my girlfriend Jess." He said gesturing to the gorgeous blonde who smiled at her.
Thankfully, her tears had stopped. "Hi." Riley said as she waved politely at Jessica, who returned the gesture.
"So, ugh, what were you saying Dean?" Sam eyed his older brother.
Dean shifted his weight from one foot to the other, obviously not wanted to tell Sam the whole dad situation in front of Jess.
Sam must have caught on to Dean's hesitation but still said "Whatever you have to say, you can say it in front of her." Obviously thinking it had nothing to do with the family business, but he was wrong.
"Dad hasn't been home in a few days, Sam." Dean explained.
"So, he's working over time, he'll come back eventually." Sam shrugged it off like no big deal.
Riley couldn't take it anymore. "He's on a hunting trip, and hasn't been home in a few days."
Realization finally hit Sam, " Jess, we'll be right back, we have to go outside." Sam said walking out the front door.
Me and Dean quickly followed, "Ry, watch out there's a step." Dean of course had to add as we walked out into the night. I just rolled me eyes and walked up to the impala and jumped up on the hood as Sam and Dean hovered closer.
After finally persuading Sam that he would be back at Stanford before his interview on Monday he went inside to quickly pack.
Me and Dean went in to say our goodbye's to Jess. She then went back to bed saying she had class bright and early. Sam came out of his room with his duffel and began packing up his laptop.
"Hey Sammy?" Riley asked in a soft voice.
"What's up, Ry?" He looked up from untangling the laptop charger.
"Can I use your bathroom before we go?" Riley asked embarrassed, knowing her brother would make fun of her and her small bladder.
Luckily he didn't have any smart ass remarks, "Sure Ry, it's the door on the left." He said pointing down the hall.
Riley practically jogged past her two brothers. She heard them laugh as she closed the door behind her. She just rolled her eyes.
After using the restroom and making sure her infected belly button wasn't bleeding she walked out of the bathroom only to see her brother's looking at her with amused faces.
"Finally! We thought you fell in!" Dean smirked, and Sam just laughed.
Once I made it in front of them I stopped and turned to face them, looking them both in the eyes. "You try holding your bladder for two hours." Riley said poking Dean in the chest and walking away.
As all three of them walked towards the impala Dean stopped and faced Sam.
"You know Sammy, your girl is way out of your league." Dean smiled.
"Jerk" Sam replied
"Bitch" Dean laughed.
Riley had, had enough, she was tired and her belly button was burning. "Aw cute! Now if your Kodak moment is over now, I'd like to get the hell outta here." Riley muttered.
"What's her deal?" Riley heard Sam whisper.
"Puberty." Dean replied back shrugging.
"I heard that, assholes!" Riley growled back as she climbed into the backseat of the impala. As angry as she was about the puberty remark, it was true.
Dean and Sam climbed into the impala and Riley threw Dean the key's she was holding.
As Dean started the car, "Let's go find dad." he explained as he turned on AC/DC and began strumming along to the song on the steering wheel as he tailed it out of the apartment complex.
It felt nice to have both her brothers with her, but Riley hoped and prayed her dad was safe. It was hard enough not having a mom, she couldn't lose both...
