Hey all! Thanks for the alerts, it means a lot! Here's chapter four! Read and review, I don't bite :) Just so you know, I know absolutely nothing about football, other than the fact that I like watching the Superbowl that is... Haha, I apologize to all football fans that are reading this if I got something wrong!

When you've got nowhere to run

Jo sat down on the bleachers beside her best friend and smiled. Ever since Dean had dropped off her homework, they'd had become friends of some sorts and now there she was at a football game, rooting for Dean Winchester. She turned around when she heard Castiel sigh.

"I know nothing about football" he said. It was actually more of a mumble, but Jo still heard him. "Just root for the Lions and it'll be okay." She said. Her best friend wasn't the sports type of guy and it had never really been a problem.

"What Dean's role in this?" he asked and she sighed. She was going to have to give him a football lesson. "Dean is the quarterback. He's the one that takes the snap." Castiel frowned. "That sounds… painful." Jo couldn't help herself: she laughed.

"The snap," she explained, "is when the center player, in this case Adam, gives the ball to the quarterback". Castiel nodded in understanding. "So it's like a pass?" Jo nodded. "What happens after?" Jo thought for a moment. "Well, it depends on the play they're doing but…"

"A play?" asked Castiel. He really wasn't the sports type. "Oh god," his friend said, "this is ridiculous. A play is a game strategy. Anyway, like I said, it all depends on the play but Dean has to pass the ball to a linebacker. He usually sends it to Sam." Castiel nodded. "Won't the other players know that?" Jo shrugged. It worked most of the time so she didn't feel the need analyse it in depth.

Ten minutes into the game and Jo frowned. She had a bad feeling. "Shit!" she blurted out. Cas turned to look at her. "What?" She shrugged. "See that big guy?" Castiel rolled his eyes and told her they were all big. "Right. The one that's running towards Dean at full speed." Castiel nodded. "Well Dean didn't see him."

"What's going to happen?" Castiel asked, he was curious. Jo shrugged and told him that he'd probably tackle Dean, but she couldn't get the bad feeling to leave. Sure enough, Dean was tackled. He didn't get up. "Come on Winchester," Jo mumbled, "get up".

The referee called a time out and lowered himself beside Dean. "You okay kid?" Dean shook his head. His arm hurt so much he felt like fainting. He heard the referee calling the paramedics and blacked out. The pain was too strong.

Jo and Castiel looked at their friend leave in an ambulance. "Football looks painful", Castiel mumbled. Jo rolled her eyes. "Come on, let's go to the hospital."


John and Mary Winchester were going toward the cafeteria when they spotted Jo and Castiel. "Hey guys," John said, "what're you doing here?" Castiel smiled at the older man and told him they were there to see Dean, if it wasn't a problem.

Cas and Jo had met Dean's parents many times and they both liked them. "Of course it's not a problem," Mary said. "He's in room 345. Watch out, he's little mad that his arm's broken." The teens thanked the couple and left.


"Hello Dean," Castiel said when they entered the room. Dean smiled at his friends. "How's your arm?" Jo asked. Dean shrugged. "Hurts like a bitch. And it sucks, I won't be able to finish the season." Jo rolled her eyes. "See the bright side of things." "There's a bright side?" "You'll have more time to study." Dean rolled his eyes. "Fuck you Harvelle." She laughed.

"When are you getting out?" Castiel asked, changing the subject. "Today. They're checking my x-rays then I'm out." "Hey Dean," Jo said, "we're watching movies later at my house with some friends. You want to come?"

Dean smirked. "You're inviting me to your house? Who are you and what have you done with the Jo Harvelle I know?" Jo shrugged and Castiel laughed. "Shut up. Are you coming or not?" "Depends, what kind of movies are we talking about?"

Jo smiled. "Movies with lots and lots of subtitles." Dean rolled his eyes. "I meant chick flicks, action, horror…?" "Horror, what else?" Dean smiled and told his friends he'd be there. They talked a little bit and the other two teenagers left.
