I
finished putting my tennis shoes on and walked out of my motel room.
I went up to the guys door and knocked while opening it, knowing that
they would be up by know and have unlocked it so I could come in.
"Good morning, my lovely friends!" I called brightly as
I walked into the room. Dean was sitting at the table that was in the
room with a cup of coffee, sitting in front of their laptop. Sam was
lying on the bed watch TV.
"Ugh, come on! You guys aren't
ready to go yet?" I said as I saw them. The guys both shot me
confused looks. "Okay, look, I don't need both of you, but one
of you has to get off your lazy ass and take me to the hospital. Or
both, I don't really care." I explained to them.
"That's
today?" Sam asked me.
"Yeppers, so get a move on it
before I steal Dean's car and drive myself." I said while doing
the hurry up motion with my hands.
"You touch my car and I'll
kill you." Dean said to me. I smirked at him.
"Then move
your ass." I said to him. Dean sighed and got up.
"Alright,
let's go." Dean said as he drained his coffee and got up.
"Yes!
You coming, Sammy?" I asked as I was about to follow Dean out of
the room.
"Nah, I'll just stay here." He said with a
shake of his head. The smile on my face faltered for a second, before
I pushed the disappointment away and nodded at him.
"If that
what you wanna do." I said with a shrug of my shoulders.
"Yeah,
I'll just see you guys later." He said and returned his
attention back to the TV. I frowned at him as he watched whatever was
on. I felt Dean put a hand on the small of my back and lead me out of
the room. As soon as the door was shut behind us, I turned to
Dean.
"Was it just me, or did he just blow me off?!" I
asked Dean. Dean shook his head.
"I don't know what his
problem is. Let's go get that cast off you knee and worry about his
mood swings later." Dean said as he opened the passenger's
side door for me. I smiled at him and climbed in, shaking off the
incident with Sam.
"Okay Ms. Halliwell, your knee
seems to be completely healed. It might hurt a little and be a little
stiff for the next couple of days, but that is normal. Just be more
careful from now on." The doctor told me after he had taken the
cast off. I smiled at him as I rolled the pant leg of my sweats down
and hopped off the table.
"I will, thanks Doc." I
said.
"No problem." The doctor said with a smile. Dean
and I walked out of the room and to the front desk to pay the medical
bill.
"So, what are you going to do now that your knee is
better?" Dean asked me after I had handed the receptionist the
bill along with my insurance card and credit card.
"Um, I
don't know really. I honestly hadn't thought about it." I told
him as I leaned against the desk. I smiled and thanked the lady after
she handed me back my cards.
"I guess I'll get my car back
from Stephanie and start hunting again." I said to Dean as we
walked out to the Impala. We climbed into the car and Dean turned to
look at me.
"What are you going to do about Sammy?" he
asked me. I rolled my eyes and laid my head on the back of the
seat.
"I don't know about that either! Does it really
matter? I'll be gone in a couple of days and it won't matter." I
said to him.
"Yes it would because you have feelings for him
and most likely we will run into you again and be working with you
since fate seems to have a way of bringing us all together."
Dean told me as he started the car up. I turned to look at him and
frowned.
"Since when are you all logical and smart?" I
asked him. Dean got a fake shocked looked on his face and clutched a
hand to his chest over his heart.
"That hurts, Peyton. Right
here." He said as he pointed to his heart. I laughed at
him.
"You know what I mean." I said as I rolled my
eyes.
"Yeah, and I just want you and Sam to be happy, which I
think you would be if you got together, or at least told him how you
felt." He said as we drove back to the motel. I looked out the
window as we drove.
"Yeah, yeah." I muttered.
I
climbed out of the shower and wrapped a towel around my body. *Feels
good to finally be able to take a shower again!* I thought as I
cleared the steam from the mirror and picked my brush up from the
counter. I brushed my hair out before taking my hair drier and blow
drying my hair. I opened the bathroom door and went back into the
room. I grabbed a dark gray t-shirt and a pair of dark jeans and was
just getting dressed when there was a knock at the door. I pulled my
shirt over my head and walked over to the door. All I saw was a mass
of red hair as I got tackled to the floor.
"AHHH!!!!" I
yelled as I fell to the ground.
"Hey girly, I missed you!"
said the person that attacked me.
"Stephanie Lynn!!!! You
scared the shit out of me!" I yelled as we stood up.
"Yeah,
well I have to keep you on your toes." She said with a grin. I
shook my head and laughed at her before pulling her into a hug. We
pulled away as we heard the door slam open and saw the guys run in.
Stephanie and I erupted into a fit of laughter as we saw the looks on
the guys' faces. We were laughing so hard that we were leaning on
each other for support.
"What's going on? We heard Peyton
scream." Sam said as he looked around the room. Stephanie and I
tried to calm ourselves so we could speak, but just ended up laughing
even harder. Finally we managed to control our laughter enough for me
to talk.
"That was just my crazy friend Stephanie here
attacking me." I said with a grin.
"Guilty." Stephi
said as she waved at the guys with an identical grin. The guys looked
at each other before looking back at us and shaking their heads. I
realized something and turned towards Stephanie.
"How did you
know where we where?" I asked her.
"Witch, hello!"
she said with the grin still on her face.
"Oh. How did you
know that I would be ready to leave?" I asked her.
"Because
I kept track since I knew that you would want that cast of as soon as
you possibly could." She told me. I nodded my head in
understanding.
"Hey, let's go for a walk. I need to talk to
you about some stuff." I said to her as I linked arms with
her.
"Peyton?!" Sam called after me as we walked out of
the room.
"Don't worry, Sammy. I'll make sure that I say
good bye before I leave." I called over my shoulder, not even
turning back. Stephanie turned her head and gave me a quizzical look.
"It's payback for him blowing me off earlier." I told her
as we walked.
"Oh, good because I was going to say." She
said.
"Yeah." I said.
"So, what is it that you
need to talk to me about?" she said as we walked into a park
down the street from the motel. We walked over and sat down on a
bench before I said anything.
"I am so confused. I don't know
what to do about Sam. I mean, I could tell him how I felt, but what
if he doesn't feel the same way? I can't tell with him. One minute,
I think that he might feel the same way, then the next it's like he
has no interest in me at all. It's just so frustrating!" I said
as I pushed my hair behind my ears. Stephanie rubbed my back
comfortingly as I told her everything that was going on.
"Well,
I think that Dean has a point and you should totally tell him."
She said to me after I had told her what Dean had said. I rolled my
eyes.
"It's not that easy." I muttered. Stephanie gave
me a surprised look.
"Since when are you afraid to tell a guy
how you feel?" she asked me.
"Since I've had my heart
bent and broken to many times than I would care to admit." I
said to her. She raised her eyebrows at me. "What?! It's not
like you're any different! I mean when was the last time you went out
with a guy?!?!" I snapped at her as I stood up off the bench.
Realizing what I had just said, I turned around to look at her with
an apologetic look on my face.
"Whoa, zero to total bitch in
2.3 seconds." I said as I sat back down next to her. She was
looking down at her hands in her lap.
"It's okay; you're just
upset right now." She said, still looking down.
"No, I
have no right to talk to my best friend in the whole world like that.
I am so sorry, Hun." I said as I took her hands in mine and
squeezed. She looked up at me and smiled a little.
"You can
totally smack me or yell at me if you wanna." I said softly to
her. She laughed and grinned.
"Nah, you weren't that bad."
She said with a smile.
"Are you sure? Because you can if you
want. I mean, I won't stop you." I told her.
"I'm sure."
She said to me.
"Okay, how about another offer. What do you
think about hunting with me for a while?" I asked her. She got a
confused look on her face.
"What?" she asked me.
"Yeah,
I've been thinking and since I've been traveling with the guys, I've
realized that I miss having friends to talk to and goof off with. So,
what do you say? Wanna travel with me for a bit?" I asked her
with a smile.
"How can I? I have my teaching job at the magic
school and." She started to say, but I cut her off.
"Just
tell Chris that you need to take some time off. I mean, you haven't
taken time off in a long time." I told her.
"I don't
know." She said.
"Oh, come on. It will be fun. Just you
and me, fighting evil. It'll be like old times, only one person
short." I said to her, my voice getting a sad tone to it at the
last part. She looked at me for a moment before smiling.
"Okay,
sounds like fun." She told me.
"Yay!" I said as I
enveloped her in a hug.
"Why is it that ya'll are
always in my room?" I asked the guys as Stephanie and I walked
back into my motel room and found the guys waiting for us.
"Because
it's less messy." Sam said with a smile. I laughed and shook my
head.
"Hey, it's not my fault that you guys are slobs."
I said as I plopped down on the bed.
"It's not me, it's
him." Sam said as he pointed to Dean.
"Hey!" Dean
yelled at us. We all laughed. I looked over at Sam and noticed that
the little dimples in the corners of his mouth that came out when he
smile got even bigger when he laughed. My laughing slowed down until
it stopped and I sighed before getting up and started packing my
stuff up.
"What are you doing?" Sam asked me.
"Packing."
I said with a duh voice as I stuffed my clothes into my duffel
bag.
"Now?" he asked. I heard someone get up and then
the door open and shut. I looked back to see that it had been
Stephanie and Dean.
*The little sneaks!* I thought as I looked
over at Sam. He had a slightly sad look in his eyes. I sighed and sat
down next to him.
"Sam I need to tell you something." I
said to him. He turned his body so that he was completely facing me
and motioned for me to continue.
I opened my mouth to tell him
that I liked him, but chickened out at the last minute. "I'm
going to miss you guys a lot." Was what came out instead.
"Oh.
We'll miss you too. But like you said, the hunting world is pretty
small, so we'll run into each other again." He said with a
smile. I sighed and smiled back, mentally kicking myself for wussing
out. I looked into Sam's face and got lost in his brown eyes. I felt
myself inch towards him and him do the same until our faces were
about 6 inches apart. Then, my cell phone had to go off.
"Perfect
timing." I muttered as I pulled my cell phone out of my pocket.
"Hello?' I said into the phone in an annoyed tone.
"Hi,
is this Peyton Halliwell?" a woman's voice asked me.
"Yes.
Can I help you?" I asked as I rolled my eyes.
"Oh good,
this is Lily Allen. From high school." The woman said. I racked
my brain for a second before the name clicked.
"Oh yeah,
what's up?" I asked. Lily went on to explain how her house had
been doing strange things lately and she had remembered that I had
dealt with that kind of stuff when we had gone to school together.
"Okay Lily, we'll be there to check it out as soon as possible."
"Okay, thank you." She said warmly. I smiled at her
sweet attitude.
"It's no problem." I said and hung
up.
"What's up?" Sam asked me as I got up and finished
up packing.
"Job." I said shortly.
"Will you
need help?" he asked.
"Nah, Stephi and I can handle it."
I said as I picked my bag up.
"Oh, okay." Sam said in a
slightly disappointed voice as he looked to the ground. I sat my bags
near the door and walked back over to him.
"See ya around,
Sammy." I said as I put my arms around him and hugged him. I
felt his arms wrap around my waist and hug me back.
"See ya
around." He said back as we let go. I nodded my head and walked
back over to the door. I picked my bags up and walked out of the
room. I went over to my Chevy Charger and put my bags in the back
seat. Then I went over to the guys' room and went in. I was shocked
at the sight that I walked in on.
Dean and Stephanie were in a
major lip lock on the bed. I cleared my throat politely and they
broke apart. I smiled sheepishly at them. "Sorry guys, but
Stephanie and I gotta hit the road. We have a job to go check out."
I said awkwardly. They both stood up and looked at me.
"What?"
I asked them when they didn't say anything.
"Well?"
they said in unison. I laughed at them slightly.
"Well what?"
I asked, playing dumb. Stephanie narrowed her eyes at me.
"You
know what." She said.
"No, I didn't tell him. The
phone interrupted me." I said, fibbing a little. It had
interrupted us, just not with me telling him. Dean and Stephanie
groaned.
"What am I going to do with you?" Stephanie
asked rhetorically.
"Well hopefully not what you and Dean
were just doing." I said with a grin, trying to suppress my
laughter. Stephanie glared at me and Dean turned a shade of red
around his ears. That cut the cake there. I let out a short of
laughter, but shut up as Stephanie's eyes narrowed even
further.
"Sorry." I said sheepishly. I walked over to
Dean and gave him a hug. "See ya soon, D." I said to
him.
"D?" he asked as we pulled away.
"Yeah, you know, it's this thing called a nickname that friends give each other sometimes." I said to him. He fake glared at me and I laughed.
"Well, I think that I will wait for you in the car so you can say goodbye however it is you want to." I said to Stephanie with a suggestive grin while grabbing the keys out of her back pocket. She glared at me.
"Now don't do anything I wouldn't." I called over my shoulder as I walked out of the room.
"Ha. Ha." Stephanie called after me sarcastically. I laughed as I closed the door and walked over to the car. I climbed into the driver's side and waited. Five minutes later, she finally came out and climbed into the car. She looked a bit flustered. I laughed and shook my head as I turned the key in the ignition.
"Just had to outdo me, didn't you?!" I asked with a laugh as I pulled out of the parking lot. She shot me a glare and playfully punched me as I drove down the street.
"Shut up." She said. I laughed and switched the radio on. I laughed even harder as "Hot Blooded" by Foreigner filtered out through the speakers. I glanced over at Stephanie and saw that she had her head in her hands and was shaking her head. I chuckled at her as we drove on.
AN: Yeah same as the last one I'm too lazy. But please review.
