"Hi Jessie," it said to her.
"Hi Jason."
Memories flooded Jess's mind as she saw her brother for the first time in two years. She hated him for leaving, but mostly for leaving her. All the fourteen-year-old wanted was to be a family again, but Jason and Sam always seemed to fight because they were both stubborn.
"You've grown up…." Jace smiled at his little sister.
"Yep," she replied harshly back.
"Jessie, be nice," Her father warned her.
"It's Jess."
"What?" the tone off his voice gave Jess the knowledge it was her second warning, but she didn't care. All she really wanted was to get out of the room.
"Not Jessie, it's Jess," she stated looking her father in the eyes.
"Room, now!" he ordered her. The young brunette didn't think twice and just went her room, slamming the door on the way.
She jumped on to her bed and tears flowed down her cheeks. The girl, who never cried, always fought with her fists and didn't care what people thought, was sobbing into her pillow. A half an hour later, Jess was still crying and her brother came in to talk to her.
"Jess, are you okay?" he asked her remembering to not call her Jessie. He received a pillow into his face as a reply. "Look, I'm sorry, okay? I mean I don't know why your mad at me, but I'm sorry okay?"
Jess sat up wiping her tears so that she could focus on her brother.
"You left me. You left me alone. You always left me alone."
Something struck Jason inside. This wasn't his little sister. His little sister would hate him, but never cry and just keep everything bottled up inside. He sometimes thought of her more as a little brother because she acted more like a guy.
"What are you talking about?" he asked her.
" Every time I needed you, you were never there," tears still came down her cheeks, but not as hard as they were earlier. Jess felt better after the crying, but she hadn't cried in so long she forgot how to stop. She even started hiccupping.
"Jessie, you're not making since," the young girl didn't seem to notice her brother call her Jessie and looked at him with her green eyes. They were the only thing she had of her mother's. Jason had Sam's eyes, hair, height, and everything else from him. Jess had Sam's hair and other features, but the girl's eyes were like her mother's. It made her unique, and always reminded the boys of the woman that died so many years ago.
"You went away to college. I needed you. You just left," she told him, the tears finally beginning to stop.
"I offered you to come, but you said no."
"I didn't want you to leave me and dad. I wanted you stay with us. Even when we were little you left me. I was the one left at our grandparents when you guys went hunting. I was the one that had to start the new schools by myself because my brother was gone at college," she explained to her brother.
"I'm sorry, Jess. I really am."
"That's not all. Before I even learned about all this supernatural stuff and what was haunting my dreams, you always left me to hang out with Mary and I didn't have an older brother to help me out. I had become so close to Ashton because you leaving and then he was taken away from me." She then paused to wipe a tear and take a breath. "And you didn't tell me."
"Tell you what?" Jason asked putting a shoulder around his little sister.
"That Ashton was alive. You knew it. Dad knew it. Uncle Dean knew it, but no I wasn't allowed to know. Dad only told me in the first place because I went to the crossroads to try and bring him back from the dead and that was after the demon already told me."
"Wait, you went to the crossroads? Jess! Those are dangerous. You could of sold you soul to the devil," he scolded his little sister. In response, she shoved his arm off her shoulder.
"That wasn't important. It was I had to rely on a demon to bring the only person that treated me like a sister or even a friend when I younger. I was always the freak and I never knew why, but my brother knew and he wouldn't tell," Jess was on a role. She had all this stuff she wanted to tell her brother buddle up inside and now she was getting it all out.
"Dad told me not too, he wanted to keep you safe."
"Keep me safe? All I wanted was my older brother to comfort me. Did you know when you were away with dad I had the worst nightmares in the world. They were so bad Grandma heard my blood curling screams and I wouldn't wake. I would sit there screaming. I needed my brother there, but he wasn't. He was trying to keep the world safe, but not his little sister."
"You know I would do anything for you right?" he paused for his little sister to answer, but she never did. "Did you know when mom died I saved your life? I carried you out of the building because dad was an emotional wreck and Uncle Dean finally pulled him out just in time."
"You saved me?" Jess asked sort of surprised.
"Yeah, do remember when you remember when you were like 5 and were in the hospital for ammonia? That really was a Shtriga and I volunteered myself to save your life. Scariest thing I ever had to do, but I did it. I did it for you."
Jess had a sudden impulse to just hug her brother. Instead of letting it pass she wrapped her arms around her brother sobbing into his shoulder. They stayed like that for a few minutes before she finally pulled away.
"I'm sorry," she apologized to her brother.
"Why?" he asked.
"Cause, you weren't just protecting the world. You were protecting me too. Cause I'm part of that world. Thanks."
Jason stayed with his baby sister till she fell asleep. When she did, he slipped her under the covers and kissed her forehead.
"Sweet dreams, Jessie."
Jason then walked out of the room to talk to his father. While all this was going on Ashton was having his own troubles, they just weren't as severe.
"Dude, you suck," Cole laughed at his best friend. He was staying over for the weekend while his dad went out on a business trip, which pretty much meant he was out getting drunk and the blonde didn't want to be home alone for the weekend.
"Yeah well your not much better," Ashton retorted throwing down the plastic guitar. They had been playing Guitar Hero 2 for a few hours now and he hadn't even passed a song. Cole had passed a few and was taking full advantage at beating his best friend in something that didn't involve real work.
"Man, I'm hungry," the hazel-eyed boy stated snatching the Dorito's out of Cole's hands. That left the other boy astonished for a second and a chip sticking out of his mouth before he went back to eating.
"What should we do? I mean its only 1 am there has to be something to do." He asked shaking his blonde hair out of his eyes.
"How go to bed. I'm tired. Haven't got much sleep in the past few days."
"No fun, Connor, no fun," the other boy shook his head. A pillow came flying at his head and in a few seconds both boys were passed out. Ashton was halfway on the bed and halfway on the floor and Cole was flopped out all over the reclined chair.
The next morning Jess was the second one up in the little apartment. Sam had beaten her up, but he rarely got many hours of sleep anyways, so she never expected to ever wake up before him. Jason was out cold on the couch and her dad was sitting at the little table reading the newspaper.
"Hi dad," Jess smiled coming in and kissing him on the cheek.
"Somebody must be in a better mood," he said not even looking up from the paper.
"Yeah, can I hang out with Kaylee today?" Jess asked grabbing a glass out of the cupboard and filling it with milk.
"Whose Kaylee?" he asked finally putting down the newspaper.
"A friend. She wants me to go to the mall with her."
"Your grounded," Her father simply stated.
"Aw, come on, Dad, it's not like I'm going to tell her anything. Please," Jess begged Sam. She didn't have very many friends and took advantage of it when she met somebody, who wanted to actually be her friend.
Sam Winchester was worried for his daughter. She wasn't the freak little girl that he was used to. Jess didn't come with new ways to hunt or kill the neighbor's cat trying to complete a pretend exorcism. Boys were starting to notice her and it wouldn't be long until she started dating.
"Fine, but your home tonight. Were going out to dinner. Uncle Dean's coming with Mary," a smile lit up on Sam's daughter's face.
"Thanks," she kissed him on the cheek and grabbed her cell phone. "I didn't know Mary was in town," she stated putting the phone up to her ear.
"Will talk more about it later. Right now do you need ride?" he asked.
"No, Kaylee said she could pick me up," Jess's smile faded quickly. She didn't want Kaylee to nowhere she lived. "Never mind. Do you think Jason could drop me off at her house? I can get her address."
"Yeah sure," Sam answered. A few minutes later Jess was off the phone and jumping on her brother trying to wake him up. All the way across Lawrence, Ashton and Cole were just waking up.
Ashton woke up with his head on the floor and his feet all the way across the bed. When he tried to get up he fell all the way off the bed and hit his head.
"Ow!" he half yelled and half yawned. Once he finally got in a sitting position he took the closet thing, which happened to be a shoe, and threw it at his best friend.
Cole yawned sitting up. For some reason he had a sock stuck to his head and food all over his feet. He tried to say something, but his mouth was dry and nothing came out. After taking a drink of what he was hoping was a drink, he ran his hand threw his hair.
"Good morning sunshine!" Ashton smiled from the floor. It finally occurred to Cole that his friend had started out on the bed earlier and must have fallen off. "Whatcha dream about?"
"Lollipops and Candy Canes," was the grumpy reply. Ashton was a morning person while Cole was a night owl.
"Hey Connor! You need to go to the mall today and buy some basketball shoes," Ashton's mom yelled from down the stairs.
"Well, I guess I found what were going today," the hazel-eyed for smiled at his best friend. It wasn't long until the boys were at the mall eating at the food courts. There are only two things Ash can't live without and they are food and girls, so when they go to the mall it is usually were you find him.
"Hey Maddie, want to go get some ice cream?" Kaylee asked her friend as they walked out of a store.
"Sure, let's go," the brunette smiled. As they were waiting in line they noticed Ashton and Cole, Kaylee noticed her friend smiling at them.
"You like Connor don't you?" she asked.
"What? No, no, no," Jess kept repeating trying to get that out of her head. Something else caught Jess's eye though. A familiar person was walking around sort of shady like by the boys.
"Who is that?" Jess asked herself. When it finally came to her, she almost dropped her ice cream.
"Kaylee, I admit it I like Connor, want to go talk to them?" she asked hoping her friend would go for it.
"Oh my gosh, Mad, let's go," the blonde grabbed Jess's arm and they walked over to the boys.
"Hi guys," Kaylee greeted as they got close.
"Hey."
"Sup?"
"Hello," Jess was the last one to reply. Her green eyes were shifting around keeping her eyes on the boy sitting a few tables down.
"What brings you guys here?" Ash asked glancing at Jess, who gave him a small smile and kept looking around.
"Shopping," Kaylee answered.
"Then where are your bags?" Cole asked earning a smack in the back of the head.
"Um, I'm going to go get some fries, you want to come with me, Madison?" Ash asked standing up.
"Sure," she smiled walking over to the counter with him.
"You okay?" he asked stopping to look at Jess. She kept looking everywhere to make sure the guy was still in her sight.
"No," she sighed. "It's Zack."
