The black Impala pulled up to a building a stopped.
" Why are we stopped?" Mari asked confused.
" We're here," Dean stated getting out of the car. He walked to the back of the car and opened the trunk.
Mari looked utterly confused. The last thing she remembered was her dad talking to Ric. She got out and ran to the back to talk to her dad.
" Okay so we're here. What happens if I have another episode?" She questioned.
Dean laughed, " sounds like you want to have another episode,"
She huffed noticing how he was avoiding her questions, " Fine, but if it happens I blame you,'' she thought for a minute. She needed something that would get under his skin and make him reconsider, " You know what never mind," He looked at her confused for a moment, " I have wondered what Ric looks like now. I mean he was okay before." Dean looked at his daughter wondering where she was going with this, " And you know as well as I do that teenagers make stupid decisions."
Dean groaned realizing where she was going, " Okay, let's get one thing clear. That happens and I don't care if you're my daughter you will be grounded till you die or I'll give you to Crowley."
"Damn it," she muttered knowing he was serious. Even when she would joke around about stuff like that he would freak out. It mean it's understandable she was his only daughter. And now he was sending her away to go live with Ric Saltzman, while he went to play house with a yoga instructor and her son. In a way she felt insecure. Being a hunter they never could have a normal life. And it hurt Mari knowing that he was leaving her to be with them. In a way it made her feel unwanted. She now was going to be living in a small town with a family friend and with what her dad called ' a weird case of split personality disorder'.
She stood by him while he got her bags. When all of them were out he grabbed them and went inside the building. Marie looked at the Impala one more time before following him. She stopped outside the door though. This is when my life completely changes, she thought, No more hunting, no more being on the road, no more Sam, and most importantly no more dad. She figured her dad was already inside giving Ric a heads-up on everything, so she took her time. Her hand reached out to touch the chrome door knob. She knew that when she turned it and opened the door there was no going back. Mari had always wondered what a normal life felt like. To have friends, go to parties, to be in love. The last one though she knew she could never have. Her hand still rested on the door knob, when she finally built up the courage to open it her life was given a sense of hope.
" Hey, Mari," Ric said lightly.
She had to fake a smile, but it's something she'd been doing for years, " Hi, Ricky."
Marie looked at her dad waiting for him to saying anything that would help her through this. All she got was a hug, a kiss on her forehead, and him saying he'd call later. He walked out the door and left Ric and Mari alone.
" I figured you want your own room," He said leading her down the hallway. He stopped at a white door, mari guessed it was next to his room. Ric opened the door to a small room with a desk, a decent sized bed, and a closet.
" Ric, you know you didn't have to do all of this," She stated.
" I know. I figured you'd want your own space," He said trying to hold a smile, " Um.. I have to meet a friend at the Grill you could come with."
" Um.." be normal, she thought before continuing, " Yeah. Just let me get changed."
He left the room and Mari ran over and slammed the door shut. She backed from it as she finally let tears leave her eyes. Her knees gave out under her and she collapsed on the ground. Her candy green eyes turning dark has her other half fought to get through.
After a few minutes of crying Marie had to pull herself together. Not just for herself, but to make sure she stayed her. She pushed herself up off the ground and walked over to her bag. It was warm outside so she pulled a pair of holey skinny jeans, a black see through crop top, and aapir of black boots. She pulled her makeup out to make sure she didn't look broken. When she was done she walked out of her room and into the living room to see Ric sitting on the couch.
" We going?'' she asked awkwardly.
" Yeah. Yeah, let's go," he said letting her leave first. They got to his car and she got in the passenger seat. Everything is going to be okay, she repeated to herself on the drive to the Grill.
