Chapter 2
"Hey Ems." My roomate Natalie said, leaning her feet against the wall next to her bed. "Hey, I just got off the phone with Sammy, and I'm going to need to take a break from school for a while." I said, sitting on my bed with a plop. "What, why?" She said, sitting up on her bed. I had her full attention, which trust me was hard to get, she was definately a full time day dreamer. "Family problems that I shouldn't be missing out on." I replied, hugging my pillow to my chest. "Do you want to talk about it?" She asked, her eyes showing full concern. I knew that she was one hundred percent sincere. "No, I'm okay. I should probably get down to the housing office and let them know I'm leaving." I said, running my hand through my long auburn waves. "When are you leaving for sure?" Natalie asked, getting up and getting lotion from her desk. "They're picking me up in front of the gate tomorrow morning at eight." I replied, pulling my suitcases out from under my bed. "Wow, that's soon." She said, tears brimming in her eyes. "Aww Nat, it'll be okay. Just tell yourself that I'm not going to be gone for too long. It's also the truth I'll be back in six months." I said, my voice thick with tears that I was holding in. "B-but your my best friend." Natalie said, like that fact would keep me from leaving. "Your mine too, we'll keep in touch over email and texting." I said, throwing her my signature smirk. "I still gotta go down to the housing office." I groaned looking at the clock knowing that I wasn't going to be able to pack and do all the other stuff that I needed to do without going to bed late. "I'll do it for you, just give me your key." Natalie said, extending her hand for the same piece of alumumin that meant the world to me. "Here you go, thanks Nat." I said, handing it over to her. It felt like a piece of my hear was with that key. "You make me..." Rang my phone from across the room. "Uh I didn't have time to talk on the phone right now, but it might be an emergency. "Hello." I said, pressing the receive call button. "Emma Lee I am not letting you leave school to hang around with a dying man." Dean barked into the phone. "Hello to you too." I snapped back, not in the mood for him to give me one of his famous lectures. "Em, don't do this to yourself." He begged, fear evident in his voice. "Dean, it's already done. Besides we're family I'm susposed to be there for you when you're at your best and when you're at your worst." I said, hitting the end call button. I placed my laptop into my messenger satchel, the last thing I needed to pack. Natalie was fast asleep in her bed, letting out the occasional snore. The clock read 4:15 a.m, I had two hours of sleep ahead of me, but it was better than anything else. I was both nervous and excited to see Sam and Dean tomorrow. I just hoped that hunting would come back to me That was the last thing that dawned across my mind before sleep engulfed me.
