Here's a new chapter of the store sorry for the delay life has been pretth hectic but I prended to Stara updating regularly again. thanks to those of you who reviewed you guys have really inspired me to continue and those who didn't please do.
I don't own any of the characters this said on with the story.
Chapter 4
"Dean, she has grow up and has hunted on her own for about two years and she's still alive and ok. She's strong so don't drive her away because of your fears or you will regret it" – Tells him Sam.
"When have you become a fortune cookie?" – Jokes Dean.
"Just think about it" – Says Sam who gets inside the car leaving Dean with his thoughts and feelings as they wait for Jo to get out.
Ten minutes later Jo walks out the Roadhouse bag in hand and gets inside the Impala after leaving the bags in the trunk.
"Ok you guys ready?" – Asks Dean putting they key in the ignition and when he sees them nod turns the key starting the car and pulls out of the Roadhouse.
They've been driving for about ten minutes in complete silence when Jo speaks up.
"Guys you better do some talking or put some music on because I'm gonna be meeting this stupid incubus in a matter of seconds" – She says playfully with a smirk dancing in her lips but her eyes betray her fear.
" Now who is the one with her knickers in a bunch" – Replays Dean with the same tone.
"Now who says I wear snickers? I could be going commando or wearing a thong" – Says Jo enjoying seeing Dean shifting uncomfortably. Meanwhile, Sam, tries to hold his laughter only to earn a slap in the head from Dean making Jo roar with laughter being followed by Sam.
Dean scowls and turns his head to the road and it's only then that he lets a small smile play on his lips at hearing her laugh. Butterflies explode on his stomach but he convinces himself it's only because of the intense emotions of the night. He also tells himself that if he admitted loving her to his brother was only to shut him up and for a few minutes he pretends he believes it. But looking at the rear-mirror and seeing her trying to stop the laughter he knows that it's not true. His brother was completely right, he needs to let her in, He still believes that he's not good enough for her but he promises that he will do his best to sweep her of her feet. Because in this moment, just right now life is perfect, he has with him the three most important things in his live. Sammy, Jo and his beloved Impala, but first thing first he has to keep her alive. And it's in that moment that he promises himself that he will save her and his eyes have a new resolute light on them. The Dean Winchester that demons and other hellish creatures fear is on a mission.
While Dean is having this thoughts Sam and Jo succeed at trying to control their laughs and look at each other smirking, but soon enough the smile slips from Sam lips and he becomes serious. He starts to open his mouths and as if she was reading his mind Jo beats him to the punch.
"It's ok Sam, you were forgiven as soon as I discovered it's was the yellow-eyed demon, it's not your fault, any of it" – She tells him with a sweet smile earning a relieved smile from him – "But if you want to redeem yourself you can buy me a piece of cheesecake at the next stop" – She adds with a wink leading them to another fit of laughter.
"You've got yourself a deal" – Answers Sam all the while smiling.
"Well Dean is that music coming or what?"- Breaks Jo the silence by saying this pulling Dean out of his reverie.
"What?...Oh yeah music, coming" – Dean answers earning a rising eyebrow from both of the other passengers but as before he continuous being completely oblivious to the exchange between his brother and Jo.
"Are you okay Dude?" – Asks a concerned Sam.
"Of course I am Sammy" – Answers Dean with a look that says drop-it-or-I-will-hurt-you – "Ok so here goes the music Blondie" – And with that Metallica starts blasting through the speakers of the car.
"Don't you have anything else? Like… I don't know some REO Speedwagon?" – Asks Jo playfully trying to get the rise out of him and succeeding.
"Sorry Shortie but the driver chooses" – Answers a smirking Dean earning a chuckle from Sam and a huff from Jo. This last one relaxes against the passenger seat remembering the goodbye to her mother.
FLASHBACK
Jo heads upstairs leaving the boys talking while walking out the Roadhouse and goes to her room where she takes out a big backpack and starts to stuff all the clothes she can find: jeans, shirts, tank tops, underwear… she also adds her brush, toothbrush, some tampons, which is when she starts planning some kind of prank for the brothers, and all the other necessities she can find. She closes the backpack and makes sure she has his father knife and other hunter gear she may need in the second bag. And leaves the room leaving it all behind to take it after saying goodbye to her mother.
She goes to her room and after knocking softly, Jo opens the door. Her mother gets up after seeing her.
"Is everything ok?" – Asks a worried Ellen
"Yes, I just… came to say goodbye" – She says and sees her mother is about to say something – "Wait, don't say anything, let me do the talking,...please" – At her plea her mother nods against her better judgment – "I need to do this mom, I promise I will explain when I get back, I… all I can say to you now is that an incubus is after me and the boys are gonna help me destroy it" – She sees her mother go pale – "Mom everything will be ok but I have to go"
"Just promise me you'll be safe" – Says Elle worry clear in her face.
"I'll try mom, that, I can promise you" – Says Jo and as her mother approaches to embrace her she can't stop herself from backing away she doesn't know why she does it it's just a reflex, she even shocked herself when she felt herself relax in Dean's arm and with his words of reassurance and his promises he made her feel safe for the first time in months, it didn't matter that he hadn't kept his last promise. Hurt flashes through her mother's eyes like it always does but she's fast at masking it but this is the first time that she also sees understanding at why she doesn't let herself be touched.
"I love you honey, and please say to Dean that he better take care of you or I'll kick his butt" – She says winking at Jo with a smile on her lips but she knows deep down that she is speaking the truth.
"Will do" – Jo says smiling too trying to lighten the mood – "I have to go, see you soon mom" – She says trying to reassure both of them that she will be back and by her smile Jo sees she understands what she's trying to do. Jo gets out of her mother's room and heads to her, takes her two backpacks and her jacket and gets out of the Roadhouse not looking back.
END FLASHBACK
She stops remembering and before she can stop herself blurts out.
"Hey Dean, my mom said you better take care of me or she will kick that little beautiful ass you have" – She says seriously but cracking a smile at the look of his face and she is not the only one, Sam follows her but with a full good laugh – "I still can't believe you are scared of my mother"
"I'm not" – Replies Dean with a scowl on his face earning another round of laughter from Sam that is cut short by Dean's head slap.
"Jerk" – Says Sammy rubbing the back of his head.
"Bitch" – Answers Dean with a smirk.
"Jackasses" – Blurts Jo making both of them turn around to look at her eyebrows raised in surprise – "What I thought we were playing a game" – Says Jo trying to sound as innocently as possible and nearly succeeding.
"Yeah I definitely do like frisky women" – Says Dean under his breath making Sam start to chuckle.
"What did he said?" – Asks Jo trying to distract herself because sleep is starting to catch up with her.
"Tell her and I'll kill you" – murmurs Dean under his breath so only Sam can hear him.
"Nothing" – Says Sam earning a raised eyebrow from Jo but she doesn't give it another thought as she starts to nod off, Dean sees it in the rear mirror and turns up the volume starling her. Sam seeing what has happened says.
"Why don't we stop in the next stop and have some coffee or something?" – Suggests Sam.
"Ok the next one is just after Minneapolis, there's also a motel we should stop there for the night to rest a bit" – Answers Dean receiving a nod from Sam and Jo.
