Chapter 7 Told You So

"So you are telling me that that beautiful car belongs to your brother?" Jess asked sounding a bit disbelieving.

"No, I'm telling you that my brother owns a car like that, but by Monica's description...I think it might be him." Sam clarified, shaking his head at the fact that his brother could possibly come to Palo Alto without visiting him.

"I wish I had paid more attention to the driver now, not that I would recognize him or anything!" Jess said feeling gypped. "Come to think of it I wouldn't even know a name to call him by if I had, because someone likes to be all mysterious!" Jess said shaking her head at how little Sam had confided in her.

"It's Dean...my brother's name is Dean, and the only reason that I haven't said anything is because there really isn't much to tell!" Sam lied, taking a guess that if he had told Jess the half of it she would just call him crazy.

"It has to be him...that jerk!" Sam growled in frustration, already knowing that Jess would want to play 20,000 questions tonight.

"Sam I love you, honey...I really do but how do you expect our relationship to grow if you don't let me in? I have told you every bit of my boring existence, can't you do the same for me?" She asked in a worn voice.

"Sure, what do you want to know?" Sam caved, planning to her half only half truths.

"I know you were born in Kansas, but where did you grow up?" She asked with a grin.

"Here and there, but mostly in the back of the Impala." Sam answered nervously.

"Really...you grew up in the back of a car, and I'm guessing your don't mean that in a dirty way, right?" She said laughingly as she lifted her eyebrow.

"Yeah, in the back of a car or various motels, and on special occasions we were dropped off at a friends house." Sam answered honestly so far, but was dreading the question that he knew was coming, and decided to continue to tell the truth.

"How was it growing up with your brother...Dean?" She asked trying out how the name actually sounded coming out of her mouth.

"Dean was always an awesome brother, but he was more than that really...he was actually more like a father to me! He taught me to do everything from tying my shoes to shaving." Sam answered with a smile.

"So you two were close, even though there was a bit of an age difference?" She asked reveling in the smile that was gracing her boyfriends lips at the moment.

"Yeah we were always close...but he's only four years older than I am, even though he always sort of seemed like an adult!" Sam said as his words trailed off in thought.

"Why did you all travel so much? And why didn't your father do the fathering?"

And there it was the dreaded question but Sam's next words even shocked himself, as they fell from his lips.

"Do you believe in ghosts?" He swallowed hard as he looked into the shocked face of the woman he loved.
