All mistakes our my own. I do not own Supernatural, but I do own Amy and Julia.

Dean's POV

We wandered around town, the whole time silent. Hurt and anger burned in my heart and I couldn't help but nurse it. I wanted answers and it seemed Julia was finally going to give them to me. Or so I thought, so far she had been silent and shied away from me every-time I came close.

Something had happened that made a rift between us, and I didn't know what. I wanted to fix it but didn't know how. Letting out a frustrated sigh I tried to be patient and it just wasn't working. Facing her I stopped her,

"Julia." I said at the same time she said, "Dean."

Falling silent we waited for each other to talk. We didn't and the silence grew, irritated I sighed again.

"Dean, I'm sorry for everything. There's some things probably better left unsaid, but.." emotion flickered behind her eyes and she shuddered. "Dean, I"m not really who you think I am. I've made so many mistakes. And I'm tired of this all of this. Meg is gone, she can't be found. My past is catching up with me and I just want to disappear."

I frowned, and guilt ate at my heart. She didn't know Meg was dead. I had never told her what had happened. "Listen Julia, you know I'm not into this whole heart to heart-" Julia looked at me annoyed and amused, a look of you-wanted-answers-buddy crossing her face. Sucking my bottom lip I wondered how to continue, if I told her, her sister was dead would that put to rest some of the demons haunting her? And what was so bad about her past that she couldn't tell me?"

" Julia. Everyone has their own demons to deal with-" I started again fighting for the right words, but I couldn't find them I was failing miserably and I just wanted to make this better. God if Sam was here he'd know what to say to Julia to comfort her. Maybe I should take some pointers from him, Julia gave me a worried look and said softly:

"Yeah about that..."

I didn't know what she was talking about so I just decided to say it at the same time she said;

"I'm screwed."

"Meg's Dead."

"What?" we both said, her voice louder than mine. We went silent for a moment as I tried to figure out why she said she was screwed. I must be missing something.

"When did this happen?! How do you know?" she said loudly anger and sorrow mixing in her voice.

God I made things worse I thought.

"Calm down." I said, now trying to figure out how to explain this. "Remember the werewolf case? And how you decided to do that hunt on your own and we didn't hear from you for awhile? We caught up with Meg while you were gone, and we released the demon from her."

"By killing her?!" Julia snapped and shoved me towards the street. "How could you forget to mention this to me?!"

"Hey! We did everything we could do to save her!" I said anger heating my words. "She sustained injuries that couldn't be healed because we can't all be like you Julia. People DIE!"

Julia stumbled back sorrow etched in her features, tears glittered in her eyes but her voice came our harsh, "Excuse me? Are you saying this is my fault? Its not like I asked to be like this Dean. You know what? I'm glad she's dead, at least now I don't have to worry about her anymore. I hope she gave you hell Dean, I really do. Thank you for taking care of my problem."

She turned away and started to walk away, I glanced around us noticing people were watching. Ignoring them I started following Julia telling her to wait up. She flipped me off without glancing behind and started to walk faster. Jogging I caught up to her and grabbed her arm. She spun around and raised a hand to punch me, I caught it with me free hand and looked her dead in the eyes.

"Stop." I said still holding her, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that. Meg went peacefully, we made sure of it. She's free of this Julia, and she wouldn't want you to keep holding onto this."

Julia stared at me coldly for a minute, emotions flickered in her eyes and they filled with tears. Silently they fell, trailing down her cheeks, watching her sadly I let her go and she buried her head into my chest. "I hate you." she cried sadly the words having no anger in them.

"I know." I said and wrapped my arms around her and keeping her close to me.

A few minutes later she pulled away, wiping a hand across her eyes and sniffling. "Dean." she said quietly and I stood there patiently wondering if she was going to tell me more. She looked at me sadly and bit her bottom lip, as if she was fighting with herself whether or not to tell me something. Her gaze moved away and looked at the ground a big sigh escaping her lips.

"Thank you for telling me."

I stared at her for a moment feeling as if this wasn't what she was supposed to say. Swallowing I nodded, "I figured you should know."

"Can we go back to the hotel now?" she asked quietly and I grabbed her hand, leading her quietly back to the room.

000000000

I was pretty sure Julia was hiding something from me still, and I wondered for the millionth time what had happened in jail. Things weren't really falling into place anymore and I was worried I was going to lose Julia again. What she had said earlier today still stuck with me, Dean I think we should go our separate- and I just knew she was gonna say ways. And I was thankful that we were interrupted I didn't want to hear those words. Not from her, not ever.

My fingers twitched as I replayed the whole scene in my head, something was defiantly wrong. Thinking of the bruises lining her back my fingers twitched, what the hell happened to her?

"And then we'll call on the tenth level wizard Gondor to kill him." Sam said looking at me annoyed.

"What?" I said snapping to and watching my brother, I looked around the room to see that it was only Sam and I in the room. "Where's Amy and Julia?"

He sighed and looked back at his laptop that lay on the hotel's table. He shook his head at me, "Amy needed to talk to Julia. I've been talking to you about this hunt for the past 15 minutes only to realize your off day dreaming. What's up with you?"

"Um." I started and blinked several times rubbing a hand over my tired face. "I'm just thinking about Julia."

Sam laughs, "No way, thats a big surprise."

"Shut up." I said

"What's up with you two anyways? You ain't a very happy couple." he said, looking at me quickly before turning his attention back to his laptop.

"Thank you." I said sarcastically before slumping my shoulders forward, "I don't know. She won't tell me."

Sam was silent and frowned at me, "Did you say please?"

I groaned at my brother, "SHUT UP! Like you would know anything about this."

Sam opened his mouth to shoot something back at me when we could hear the sound of muffled shouting. Looking at my brother, "Where'd the girl's go for there chat?"

"I don't know, I guess there room. They just kinda left." Sam said, and we both stood up as the shouting became louder. My heart pounded in my chest, what the hell was going on?

Moving quickly we stepped out into the hall, grabbing the doorknob to the room next to ours where the girls were supposed to be staying. The door swung up and inside stood Amy and Julia, facing each other still shouting. I looked between the two of them wondering what the hell was going on.

"Hey!" I said loudly trying to get them to calm down.

Amy saw me first and turned to look back at Julia. "TELL HIM!" she screamed. "He deserves to know!"

Julia turned to face me, her face flushed with anger. Glancing back at Amy she yelled back, "FINE!"

Sam and I stood there confused as Julia stormed over to us. Her body was shaking, her anger ebbing away slowly. I stared at her, confused and worried. "Julia?"

"Save me Dean. Save me before the Demon claims me." she said her voice trembling.
