Summary: AU. High school isn't easy for anyone really, but especially Amy who endures torturous bullying that everyone just seems to stand by and watch. Jimmy hates to watch the girl he loves being hurt but he fears he isn't able to stop it. Please R&R!

Tortured

-Two-

Castiel took Dean's hand as they watched Amy having to be carried inside, turning and hugging his boyfriend when he saw tears falling down Jimmy's face too. Crowley grabbed Jo and pulled her into his arms as she broke into tears, Ash having to pull Anna away from Meg while Dean reached over and pulled Ruby to his body. Chuck held Becky close and Gabriel looked up at Michael with hate in his eyes.

"We might be cousins by blood, Michael, but let me tell you, you're dead to us. All of you."

He headed for the doors with Castiel and Dean in tow, the others looking to each other. Jo wiped her eyes and Crowley kissed her head, feeling tears burning up in his own eyes which never happened. This is was their fault too. They'd not done anything until Meg had started beating Amy black and blue and it wasn't right. They should be straight there, not waiting for their friend to get hurt in the way she had been.

"I'm not staying out here." Crowley growled, "I'm not leaving her that way. Come on."

The others headed for the doors, leaving other kids completely astounded as they'd seen everything that had happened.

Mr Hendrikson lifted Amy onto the bed in the medical room, Jimmy kneeling by her and holding her hand as she whimpered in pain. There was blood all over the place and Ellen lifted her top up to see bruising on her ribs. This poor girl had been going through torment for months and the teachers just let it happen.

Mrs Harvelle, Mr Hendrikson and Mrs Singer never let that happen in their lessons or if they saw it in the yard. The Milton and Masters families, in particular, Alistair and Lucifer had been in so much detention it was unreal because of what they did to Amy. And they didn't hurt any other kids, just Amy, and the teachers wished they knew why.

"I think we need an ambulance." The Principal said, "I just wanna be sure..."

"No..." Amy cried, looking at Jimmy, "Jimmy, don't let them...please..."

"Listen, I'll be there with you, okay?" He promised, "It's okay, sweetie...it's okay..."

"No..." Amy sobbed, "I want my mom..."

"I know..." Jimmy soothed, kissing her head and stroking her bruising face gently.

He watched Mrs Singer start to clean the cuts and dab the blood away, Amy so traumatised she was trying to fight her off. Jimmy hated himself for this, but he pinned Amy's wrists down while Ellen pinned her feet down, looking up when Amy's friends herded around the door.

"Guys, just give us a few minutes." Ellen said, Mr Hendrikson heading outside to talk to the distraught teens outside the room.

"Listen, she's hurt pretty bad, we're gonna call an ambulance." He told them, "I know this is hard for you guys, and I appreciate how upset you all are, okay?"

"Sir, we need to see her, please!" Becky cried, "It's our fault! We didn't help her when she needed us!"

"Becky, calm down." Chuck whispered, Becky turning and burying her face in his shoulder.

"I'm gonna speak to Mrs Harvelle and see what to do with you all, 'cause if I'm honest, I don't think you need to be here..." He said, knowing that the group would probably be better going home and calming down since they were all distraught, angry and upset, especially the girls, "Jimmy's in there and that seems to be enough for her right now."

The door opened and Amy's screaming rang out into the corridor, the sound of Jimmy trying to soothe her mixed in with it as well as Mrs Singer doing the same. Mrs Harvelle stepped out, Jo not giving a damn before running into her mother's arms.

"I want you kids to go home, okay?" Ellen said softly, "Just take a few minutes while I call Amy's mom and then your parents..."

She knew that Dean's younger brother who had just started high school and he might be at risk too. She'd never send all these students home normally, but the Milton and Masters families were dangerous and would hurt Sam if they found him in the yard.

"Dean..." She began, grabbing a piece of paper from the room and a pen, scribbling a note onto it, "Go and get your brother. Take him home. I don't another student in hospital."

"Hospital?" Crowley asked, "She's going to hospital?"

"We think she's got broken ribs..." Ellen replied, "I don't wanna risk it, kids, so just wait here and take some time to calm down, and I'll let your parents know what's happening."

Jimmy watched with Gabriel by his side as Amy lay in the hospital bed, her mother stroking her hair gently and trying to soothe her. They were outside the room, watching through the window. A shaky sigh came from Jimmy as a tear slid down his cheek, Gabriel winding a protective arm around him and holding him to his body.

It was just Gabriel, Castiel and Jimmy at home, since Gabriel's father was never around and now their mother and Castiel and Jimmy's father were travelling around Europe at the moment, and Gabriel had to be strong for both his brothers, especially Jimmy. Anna had moved in with them a long time ago, and he had to be strong for her too.

"It's okay, Jimmy." He soothed, stroking his brother's hair gently, "It's okay."

"I should've moved..." Jimmy breathed, "I...I should've helped her, not sat there like a coward and let her get hurt..."

"Jimmy..."

"She was screaming for me...and I couldn't move..." Jimmy cried, "I..."

He broke down, literally and Gabriel caught him as his legs buckled, pulling him close and sitting him on a seat nearby before hushing him and rocking him in his arms. The brothers looked up as the others made their way down the corridor, all of them sharing hugs before looking into the room at Amy who saw all of them and smiled so brightly it made them all smile too. Because Amy was only allowed two or three visitors at a time, the friends grouped up and went in for five minutes each, Jimmy staying behind with Amy's mother, Sandra.

They stayed with her, Sandra watching her baby as she looked up at Jimmy. Jimmy looked at Amy and sighed, stroking her head gently. Sandra knew that Jimmy loved her daughter. It was plain to her, and Amy loved Jimmy too, but they just needed to get together. That was all. Sandra had a feeling that this event, as horrible as it was, would bring them close together. She also had a feeling that within the month, Jimmy and Amy would be together as a couple and she knew that now Amy had a tough time ahead of her, what with getting back to school and facing everyone, talking to the police who'd been called and deciding what to do about Lucifer.

Luckily, John Winchester, Dean's father, was the person who'd probably be talking to Amy and Amy liked John. John was caring and he was a reliable person, and Amy had trusted him with a lot of things in her life. when she ran away for the first time he found her when he was on duty and had listened to her problems before talking her around and helping her through, then taking her back home.

Sandra decided to leave the two alone for a while, Jimmy smiling gently at Amy as she sighed shakily and let another tear slide down her face.

"I'm sorry I've brought all this on you guys..." Amy whispered, "I'm sorry, Jimmy..."

"Don't be." Jimmy replied, "If anyone should be sorry, it's us. We've not been there for you like we should be...and now you've been hurt so bad...I just..."

A tear slipped down his face and he shook his head, wiping his eyes and sighing. He didn't have the right to cry in front of Amy. The poor girl had been through so much and it wasn't like she needed him crying like a bitch by her side when she was injured in a hospital.

"Jimmy?"

"I love you."

Amy stared for a moment, Jimmy realising he'd just confessed his feelings to Amy. Wrong words, wrong place, wrong time. Jimmy didn't know why that had just come out, but it had.

"What?" Amy asked, trying to sit up a little, "Jimmy...?"

"I love you." Jimmy replied, "I love you, Amy..."
