Chapter 9

Running Away From The Pain and Truth


Inside the house, Kat had pulled out her big duffle bag and was on the phone with Loran, one of Dean's old girlfriends. Although Lo and Dean had been serious, he had broken it off with her for fear of getting close to someone Lo and Kat had remained good friends and were just about as close as could be. She had called her to talk about Dean and whatnot, and Lo had invited Kat to stay with her tonight. It was what they always did for each other when one needed to be cheered up.

Kat- "Yeah. It was one of those fights. ..No, don't say we're like a married couple….Ewe. Please Lo, I would rather be eaten alive then be married to him…Sounds good, I'll be over in about…Oh you'll pick me up…even better…okay, see ya then." she shut the phone and continued to load clothes into her duffle.

Sam was standing at Kat's slightly open door listening to her conversation with Loran on the phone. When he saw her put the phone back on the bed and continue to pack, he decided to enter. He hated when Dean and Kat fought mainly because they were both so stubborn and neither ever admitted to being wrong in the slightest bit at all. And this time he knew that Dean had gone pretty far with some of his comments. It surprised Sam at how little affected Kat was by them or even the fact that she seemed to be one of the few people that wouldn't back down from Dean. He lightly pushed the door open and didn't need to make much of a sound cause Sam knew that Kat already could feel his presence when he was at the door during the phone call. John Winchester had taught them all well when it came to being alert.

Sam- "So, you're leaving?"

Kat- "Only for tonight, at least I think so." she answered him without turning around.

Sam- "You know he didn't mean any of that." as he sat on her bed and tried to convince himself of what he was saying as much as her.

Kat- "He meant it. Not that I blame him too much."

Sam- "How can you honestly say that?"

Kat- "Dean usually doesn't hide his feelings, or at least not that kind of feelings. Plus he's a jealous ass and it's not his fault."

Sam- "You will come back though, right?"

Kat- "I'm not sure yet Sammy…I mean Sam."

Sam- "You can't seriously leave me alone with those two here. They share the same freakin' brain!"

Kat- "Come on, give CJ more credit than that."

Sam- "If you leave, I'll end up killed Dean and then holding CJ hostage. And it will all be held on you."

Kat- "Yeah yeah. You know I'll be back Sam, I can't leave you. How's this, I'll call when I get to Lo's and by that time you can tell me if Dean cooled off at all. Deal?"

Sam- "Deal. Just promise that if you leave for good, you'll at least say goodbye."

Kat- "That's a promise. Now why don't you help me go outside and wait for Lo, while we let Dumb and Dumber have their little manly bonding time."

Sam nodded as they headed down the stairs. When they were half way to the bottom, they saw CJ and Dean both sitting on the couch watching some chick flick movie on TV. Sam and Kat couldn't help but laugh.

Sam- "You know what?" he whispered

Kat- "What?"

Sam- "They make the cutest couple."

Kat- "I was thinking the same thing."

Sam- "So do you think this is their first date?"

Kat- "Too hard to tell."


Going back to when Dean and CJ were walking inside

As they were entering the house, Dean was still blowing off steam, hitting anything in his way. Once they made their way to the couch, he calmed down a bit. CJ sat next to him and turned on the TV. Dean looked confused, since CJ said that they were going to have to talk. His eyes widened even more when CJ landed on some Chick Flick.

Dean- "I always knew these were your kind of movies."

CJ- "I'm going to make you sit here and watch this, even if it is cruel and unusual punishment, to see if you learn how females want to be treated."

Dean- "If you wanted a date with me, all you had to do was ask."

CJ- "Just shut up and watch it. You said some pretty intense stuff and I meant what I said about if I ever need help with words to women. Cause you seem to know just how to turn them on." sarcasm.

Dean- "Dude, this is so wrong."

CJ- "This was the best punishment I could come up with for you."

Dean rolled his eyes and sighed as he focused on the TV that had a movie with some hooker in it. They sat in silence until they heard two sets of footsteps on the stairs. They both looked to see Sam and Kat walking down the stairs with a duffle as well. Dean just glared at Kat and then went back to the torture he was being put threw. CJ watched and waited until Kat walked past the couch, when he put out his hand to stop her.

CJ- "And where do you think you're going Kitty Kat?"

Kat- "First, it's Kat. And second, I'm spending the night at Lo's."

CJ- "Who's Lo?"

Kat- "One of my closer friends. And she also hates Dean."

CJ- "Now, why would anyone hate Herc over here?"

Kat- "It's easy."

Dean- "Just let her go. The house will be better without her."

Kat- "Well, I hope you two enjoy your little date here. Lo's here. I'll come back tomorrow, maybe."

Before CJ or Dean could say anything else Kat and Sam headed out the door to meet Lo at her car. Sam helped Kat with the duffle bag by throwing it in the back and said a nice hello to Lo. Kat hugged Sam and then entered the car. It was once she was in the car that Lo informed her that she had a night to cheer up her spirits with. And then they were off to the local hangout where there was food, pool, and games to keep teenagers entertained.

Sam walked back into the house to find CJ and Dean having a laid back talk.

CJ- "So this Lo girl hates you as well?"

Dean- "We dated for a while."

CJ- "And how long would that be? A night?"

Dean- "I don't know. Longer than that though!"

Sam- "They dated for almost a year. Her and Kat clicked and she got along really well with the rest of us."

CJ- "Wow, a year. That has to be some kind of record."

Sam- "Yeah, then he got scared and backed out of it."

Dean- "I did not get scared!"

CJ- "Aww, is little Deanie afraid of girls?" he and Sam both laughing.

Dean- "I wish I could just kill both of you right now!" crossing his arms.

CJ- "Well aren't we a little hostile."

Dean- "Shut up. At least I'm not a virgin anymore, unlike you!"

CJ- "I wouldn't go there boy. Demons don't count."

Dean took one of the pillows and threw it at CJ. They both began to wrestle on the floor. Sam watched the exchange and then his eyes feel on the TV. It was definitely a chick flick and he couldn't help but laugh even harder.

Sam- "I hate to interrupt here, but what are you guys watching?"

His reply were both Dean and CJ stopping, staring at him, and pulling him into the messed up tumble as well. Overall the night wasn't so bad. But for some reason, they all new that the free-caring couldn't last long as Dean was still bound to go off and do something stupid. Little did they know that it would only take about a half hour later before the phone would ring and he would be heading down to the local hangout as well.
