Where Have I Been

Disclaimer: Dean and Sam are not mine. I love them, but they do not belong to me. By the way, there is no Shannon in this story. I made a mistake with Tyler's mom's name, it's actually Megan. I haven't looked at this story in a while and for got her name and couldn't remember what name I gave her and where I had mention it either. I thought about naming her Shannon, that being an Irish name and all, you know her being right from Ireland she'd have an Irish name. But I only thought about using Shannon, apparently I didn't. Oops.

Chapter Two

Jack Warner is like my best friend and I've known him for as long as I can remember. And he can get very comfortable when he is in my house.

I thought that we were going to leave when he came over, so I had gone up stairs to get dresses. I came back down maybe ten minutes later, in my favorite dark blue jeans and my favorite faded out Zepplin shirt I stole from my mom when I was ten after she told me it was my dads favorite. I pulled my long, dark brown hair back into a ponytail to keep in out of my face. I guess I shouldn't have been so surprised that Jack was sitting in my former seat with a plate full of food in front of him.

"Happy birthday!"

"Jack, I thought we were going out? We gotta go get Ryan's lazy ass up and out of bed."

"What, I didn't eat anything this morning Ty, your mom offered and it would have been rude to turn down a good meal."

"Yeah, well so is talking with your mouth full of food but you don't seem to have a problem with that.."

"Tyler relax and sit down. Don't rush Jack, let him finish eating, you have plenty of time to go get Ryan."

"Fine, whatever." I couldn't be an adult about waiting though. I sat down, letting a sigh pass through my lips. My mom gave me a disapproving look which I returned with an innocent shrug.

"Okay, all done." Jack pushed back from the table and stretched. "Let's go get that lazy bum."

"Finally." I got up and followed Jack, giving my mom a quick kiss on my way out. "Be back later mom."

"Have a good time."

Jack was already out the door and walking down the street toward Ryan's. I had to jog a little to catch up to him. We were walking at the same pace when Jack stopped suddenly, taking hold of my wrist to stop me as well.

"Are we really going to get Ryan? Why can't the two of us fo to the car show?" Jack was now staring down at our hands, mine now in his.

"Because, Ryan is our friend. He'd be so pissed if we forgot him."

He looked up, staring into my eyes. "You think we need a baby sitter don't you?"

"Be serious Jack." I went to walk away but he moved nowhere and still held on to my hand. He gently guided me back to where he stood.

"So you don't think we need someone to watch our every move?" His face was so close to mine I couldn't even see his mouth, but I could hear the smirk appear on his face at the end of that sentence.

"Why? Do you plan on doing something inappropriate Jack?"

Again I knew he was smiling, but this time I could see that it had spread up to his gorgeous green eyes.

I smiled back. "Come on" I moved closer, giving him a short, soft kiss. "Let's go get Ryan.

There was no physical resistance this time, but a heard Jack groan in protest from behind me, making me laugh.

Going to get Ryan was a waste of out time. His mom answered the door and informed us that the lazy bum was still asleep. So I asked her if she could have Ryan meet us at the car show when he go up. She said no problem, wished me a happy birthday, and told Jack and I to a fun. So Jack and I were off, again, to the car show.

"You see Ty, I knew he was going to be asleep still."

Jack and I continued down the street, hand in hand, toward the center of town.

"Well, we had to see right?" I smiled up at him.

"Yeah I guess so."

Jack let go of my hand to wrap his arm around my shoulders, pulling me closer to him. He lightly kissed the top of my head. I wrapped my arms around his waist, making our walk a little more difficult but neither of us would release the hold we had on each other.

*****

My daughter is 18 today, I haven't seen her since she was 3. I woke up one morning 15 years ago to find a not on the pillow next to me and my daughter, Tyler, and her mother and my girlfriend, Megan, gone.

Dean,

I'm sorry to leave like this, in the middle of the night, but I can't have Tyler grow up with this life. It's too dangerous. And with what happened last week. I just can't loose her, I won't. She needs a normal life, not a life like we had. I want better for her. You will see her again, if you find us I won't run. I know you'll start searching for us once you've read this letter. If and when you do find us all I can hope for is that you'll try to put this life behind you, I know it'll be hard but think about Tyler. I'm not asking you to stop. And when you find us, if you don't stop it's fine, but I can't have anything involving this life around her. The weapons, the Latin, the protection spells. All of it. When she is older I'll give her the necklace you gave to me, I know it'll make us both feel a little better knowing what's really out there. At least she'll have something, but she won't know why, just that it was yours. Please know that I love you Dean and I don't want to hurt you, even though I know doing this does. I won't let Tyler become a solider, not like we were. I am so sorry Dean.

I love you,

Megan

About a week before Megan left, we almost lost Tyler.

We were in Nevada working on a case, Megan stayed with Megan most of the time while Sam and I went looking around. Before we knew just what we were hunting it attacked Tyler. A striga. I came in the middle of the night, While Megan had gone into the bathroom, like it was waiting for her to leave the room. She came out and saw the thing feeding on Tyler. Megan shot at it, but it got away, leaving Tyler on the bed unconscious. She was in the hospital for four day, not waking until Sam and I killed the striga. And that was when I started to think that I should stop the hunting. Before I could tell Megan, she was gone.

And she was right, I have been searching for them since she left. Thought I found them once, but it was a dead end. It was an old place she used to live, before we'd met. I never though trying to find someone would be harder than hunting down demons.

"Dean?"

"Hmm?"

"How long have you been sitting in front of that window?"

"'Bout a half-hour, why?"

Sam looked back to his computer. "Nothing, just wondering."

Sam keeps looking at me like I'm going to snap any minute. He's always watching what he says around me. Especially on August 10th.

"What kind of music do you think she likes?" I turned away from the window, looking over to the bed where Sam was sitting.

He looked back up. "What?"

"God, I hope she doesn't listen to rap or hip-hop."

"Dean, what are you talking about?"

"Tyler. She's 18 today Sammy."

"I know." Sam's voice softened and he looked away.

"I have no idea who she is." Which pisses me off the most. I not mad Megan left, I get it, I do. I just hate not knowing who my daughter is.

"I know." Sam went quite again. Then clear his throat. "So hey, Bobby said it looks like there's a vengeful spirit in Ridge Field, New Hampshire. And hey, who knows maybe Meg went somewhere up that way."

I smirked at Sam. "It's been 15 years and I haven't found them yet."

"It's less than two hours Dean, let's check out the spirit and maybe ask around about Megan and Tyler. Plus, when I went online to do some research I found out that there's apparently a classic car show there today. We can check that out, get your mind off things, what do you say?"

"You hate car shows Sam."

"So? Come on Dean."

"Fine, we'll go check it out."

It's not like I can find any less then I already have. And my maybe I get to take out my frustrations on a ghost, so that's something.

A/N: So, yeah, I lied about having the next 2 chapters up. Sorry, I haven't been on my computer much. I've been reading. Which, I highly recommend that you read The Summoning by Kelly Armstrong. It was very good, but I wasn't reading that the whole time. I read that in like a total of 2 days or so. ANYWAY!

Here's the next chapter, you find out Dean's Tyler's dad, even though anyone could figure that out, since Tyler had her dad's Zeppelin shirt on in the first chapter. So um…yeah. BY ^_^
