One.
Spread out vertically across the cheap cotton blend duvet of the bed with her honey blonde hair fanned out around her head, Haley James stared up at the ceiling fan as it rotated. The room was silent but the echoes of the fight from the previous night hung in the air. Dean had left a couple of hours earlier, grunting something about picking up some supplies. Which was complete bullshit, both Sam and Haley knew he was going to spend the entire night in some dive bar and hook up with a random girl, it was classic Dean for taking out his frustration. And in this case, anger. Or at least that was the emotion he had been expressing lately.
"Do you think I'm fucking stupid? I see the way you two look at each other!"
Haley could still hear Dean's gruff voice, gruffer when he was mad, resonating inside her skull.
"Hales?" Sam's tone was timid and Haley could tell he was hesitant to interrupt her, whatever she was doing.
"I was there, you know, the night when Dean came to Stanford to convince you to come with him," she continued to gaze up at the peeling paint on the ceiling of the motel room "I waited in the Impala."
There was a beat before the inevitable question. "Why?"
"I guess I just… thought it'd hurt to much to see you in your new life," Haley shook her head "With your out-of-your-league girlfriend and your college boy haircut." Car headlights streamed past the windows in the silence. Haley could remember that night vividly, it had been so cold when they'd been travelling and when they'd finally ended up in California, the temperature had risen ridiculously. They'd driven all day, Dean had insisted upon it, until they'd reached the Stanford campus. Although he'd never say it, she could tell he was excited to see his younger brother, and somewhere deep inside she felt the same. Growing up with the boys had never been easy, or conventional in any sense of the word, but it had given her a strange bond with John, Dean and Sam that she'd never felt with anyone else. Of course they weren't biologically related, but that had never really occurred to any of them. They were a family, and they always had been. Well, ever since Haley was six. After her orphanage had burnt down she'd met John at a police station, she'd no idea at the time but he was gathering information for one of his 'cases.'
"Dean, there's nothing going on, you're crazy!"
"Bullshit am I! You're sick Sammy, she's your sister!"
The fight that night had broken out completely randomly, one moment Dean was smirking about some hot girl he'd met earlier in the day, the next he was pointing fingers. Mostly at Sam. Until Haley had spoken up and told him he was acting insane, he hadn't even looked at her. Then Sam lunged at Dean and they both rolled over the desk, smashing a lamp and littering all of their carefully collected research all over the shabby motel carpet. Haley had tried to get in the middle to separate them when Dean accidentally smacked her in the face whilst pulling back to plant a punch on Sam. By the time she'd emerged from the bathroom a full three quarters of an hour later, Dean was on his way out of the door.
"You should have heard Dean ranting about Jessica," she almost smiled but didn't "You'd have thought you were dating Aphrodite." A sob welled in Haley's chest but she pressed a hand against her mouth before it could come out.
The squeak of bed springs told her that Sam had stood up and she couldn't help but secretly wish that he'd lay down beside her. He didn't, probably because he knew she'd have moved away."I'm starving, I'm gonna go get some food," he stopped, knowing how lame he sounded "You want anything?"She shook her head firmly from side to side. Pausing at the end of her bed, he brushed a strand of her hair off of her face. "He'll come back," he promised and momentarily, she caught his eyes. Then she turned away.
Author's Note; Okay so I've recently discovered a love of Sam/Haley, although originally I was Dean/Haley. But whatever. I've only watched S1 of Supernatural but I'm catching up fast so my knowledge of evil things might not be so up to date, not that I've really mentioned much in this. But anyway, yes, hope you like it, let me know what you think, detailed reviews are loveeeee. (: PS; Sam and Haley aren't biologically related, so it isn't incest. Just an FYI for you there.
