Come On Back

by ThereputicChainOfEvents

When Dean met Brianna, they were kids. She was nearly Sammy's age with a family of Hunters all around her. Then they grey up together. Finally, they were adults, who missed every mark on the road to being in a serious relationship, and still somehow keep coming back around to each other. Now, they have to decide if they're are a mistake, destined to be, or a twist of fate.

4. The Library

"I'm going to the library!" Brianna called.

"Now?"

"Yeah, I'm taking my bike."

"That's like 12 blocks." Bobby argued. "I can take you before Rufus gets here."

"I have an A in gym and it's bright and sunny. I can bike ride, 12 blocks."

He nodded. "Be home before dark."

"We both know there are just as man bumpy things in the lights as there are in the dark." She said, pushing books into her backpack.

"I'm driving you-"

"No you are not." She stopped him. "I will be fine. I'll call if anything happens."

"Wear a helmet." He called.

"No." She laughed back, shutting the door.

Halfway to the library, she stopped at a crosswalk.

Three boys roughly her age came up behind her.

"Hey, Brian." One of them called, pulling up next to her.

She ignored him.

"Geez, Brian doesn't that Dad of your teach you manners?" Another snapped. "If he is your Dad."

She sighed. "Screw off, he is my Dad."

"Maybe he bought you like a puppy."

"You're the only Mutt I see, Matt." She smirked at one of them.

"You think you're funny. Maybe we should take you to the pound."

"Maybe you should be euthanized, Jake." Traffic stopped and she sped across the street.

She managed to get across the street before the boys did and stayed a few feet ahead of them until a man holding grocery bags came around the corner and she had to stop to keep from hitting him.

"Brianna." He greeted, looking past her. "Boys."

"Mr. Mills." Brianna greeted.

"Bobby know you're out here playng games?" Mr. Mills asked the girl, but she knew he suspected they weren't 'playing games'.

"I was heading to the library." She glanced behind her at the boys.

The adult nodded. "I'm going bring Jodie some lunch, mind if I walk with you kids?"

Brianna shook her head.

The boys turned their bikes. "Let's go to my house and watch superheros."

The other two agreed.

Jake looked over at her. "See you later, Brian."

"Good seeing you boys." Mr. Mills called after them.

"Playing games?" Brianna asked him.

"I'm just glad I found you before you beat them up."

"Bobby loves those phone calls." She laughed.

The man smiled at her. "I'm sure he does. Here's the library."

She set her bike in ther rack. "Thanks for walking with me."

"Try not to get into trouble on the way home."

"I'll try."
