Authors note: So this is my first fan fic ever. I just love this pairing and I need fics of them and I thought that I may as well help out. Please don't be too harsh as it is my first fic. I do welcome criticism as long as it is constructive. I don't have a beta so all mistakes are mine and I am sorry. I tried my best but grammar isn't my strong suit. That all said I hope you enjoy :)

Chapter One:

It had been one month. One month since his life changed. Since he lost the one person he cared about more than anything. One month living with his half brothers Sam and Dean Winchester and their 'uncle' Bobby. One month in and Adam Milligan had barely said more than a couple of sentences to the boys, even with their constant attempts to communicate with him. It wasn't as if he hated them, quite the opposite actually. They were both really nice and tried their best to welcome Adam, even though they had only previously meet like two times. It wasn't because of Bobby either, although at first Adam was terrified of him (he doesn't look all that welcoming), Bobby had accepted him just as quickly as Sam and Dean had and Adam even started to look up to the guy. If Adam had to be completely honest with himself, he knew the problem wasn't the new environment he had found himself calling home for the past month, it was him. Something inside him had changed the day his mother died. As cheesy as it sounds, it was like a light inside him was gone...

He just couldn't bare the thought of losing anyone he cared about again. So he came to the conclusion that to spear himself the pain, he just wouldn't get too close to anyone ever again. Hence the lack of talking. People had always said that his 'way with words' was one of the reasons they liked him. So naturally in order to keep his distance, he took away all aspects of his personality and became a quiet drone. It was no way easy. Dean and Sam bickered a lot of the time. Simple exchanges of sass and sarcasm that Adam knew was right up his alley. He had always wanted brothers and the opportunity to have that loving relationship was steering him in the face everyday. But he just couldn't let himself be vulnerable. He just couldn't lose another part of him. So he said nothing. And for that first month Sam, Dean and Bobby said nothing about it. Well, at least not to his face. He often overheard Sam and Bobby telling Dean that 'the silence was Adam's way of dealing with his mothers death' and that Dean should just 'leave Adam alone'. Which he guesses is actually partly true. In all honesty, even with Sam and Bobby telling him to back off, Adam was surprised it had taken Dean so long to actually confront him. Said confrontation occurred last night at dinner and was just as awkward as he had imagined.

"Kid are you ever gonna say something?!"

"Dean, leave him alone. If he doesn't want to say anything, then he doesn't have to. He did just l.."

"lose his mother, yes I know, I know. And I know how hard it is to deal with. But Sam, the kid will have to talk eventually!"

"I know Dean, but let him do it in his own time."

"You idgits know he is right in front of you. Maybe he would talk to you if you stopped talking like he isn't in the room"

With that comment Adam looked up from the ground and gave Dean a pair of puppy dog eyes that kick Sam's out of the water. Puppy dog eyes that silently say 'please just drop it, I'm not going to talk'. But for once, Dean didn't cave.

"Look, kid. I don't want to seem like a jerk. But you are going to have to start talking sometime soon. For god sakes, you start your first day of High school here tomorrow. How do you expect to survive high school with out saying a word?"

"How do you expect to survive high school with out saying a word?" It was that sentence that had Adam lying awake at 3am thinking about this past month.

He did have a point. Historically High School isn't the best place for the quiet, perfect student who tries to mind their own business. Which is just another point to add to the never ending list of 'why high school sucks'. And he was still getting use to the concept of being alone. Would he really be okay not having any friends? Having no one to study with? Or to sit with at lunch? Would he even bother with lunch? Or just try to hide away somewhere, like the library? Adam was so use to having friends around him every second during the school day. Was he really expecting to just make a complete 180 and be completely alone? He really hadn't thought his 'no talking' plan through. Maybe it would be okay if he made a few... acquaintances. People he could sit with and make idle conversation with but not be close with.

Yeah, that could work. He would be that friend in the group that isn't really a friend. Just someone who is there at school. That way he wouldn't be 100% alone and he could pretend they were his actual friends to get Dean off his back. Yeah, this could work.

The only problem was trying to find a group to let him in half way through the school year.
