Chapter Ten


It was almost 2:30 in the morning by the time everyone was finally settled from the hunt. Dean and Sam were fast asleep, but you stayed up with your sister. You could tell something was bothering her. "What happened in there Becky?" You asked. "What do you mean?" She asked trying to get you off the topic. "Well, its quarter to 3 and you're still wide awake. Plus, you just look like something's bothering you, and don't try to lie your way out of it…I know when something's wrong." You said to her. "It's nothing Chase. Just leave it alone!" Becky snapped angrily. "If it was nothing, you wouldn't be telling me to leave it alone." You said victoriously. "Try to find your way out of that one. Yeah, aint gonna happen." You added after seeing her face. "He was possessed Chase." She then said after realizing that she'd have to tell you sooner or later. "What do you mean? Who was possessed?" You asked nervously. "Tanner. He was possessed, and I just shot him when he wasn't even himself!" She was now beginning to raise her voice. "Becky settle down. Tanner wasn't possessed, I think I would have known if he was." You were trying desperately to convince not only your sister…but yourself that as well. "That's bull Chase and you know it! You were to busy trying to call for Dean to save you, you wouldn't have noticed if Tanner was really himself or not!" She yelled. "First of all stop yelling, you'll wake up the boys. Secondly; why the hell are you yelling at me?" You said trying to stay as calm as possible. "I'm yelling at you because it's YOUR fault he's dead!" She snapped. "How the hell do you figure it's MY fault? It's not like I asked for it!" You were now beginning to yell. "You should have known something was up when he asked you to go hunting. You and I both know that Tanner would have never in a million years let you go hunting with him. Yet, one night he decides to let you, and you didn't even bother to second guess it; so because of your stupid need for revenge on your father's death, I murdered my brother, and he was the only family I had left!" She screamed. "Why the hell are you guys yelling?! Can't you tell I'm trying to sleep?" Dean said groggily as he sat up and turned on the light in time to see Becky stand up and slap you across the face. You stood there shocked. "Becky what the hell is your problem!" Dean yelled as he got up. "Dean just stop, let me handle this." You said calmly. Dean stared at you questioningly as first but then obeyed. Sam was also awake, watching in confusion at what was going on between you and Becky. "He was your father too, and Tanner wasn't your only family. I'm here, and last time I checked I'm still your sister." You said now talking quietly. "You're my step sister, nothing more! And how can I consider William my father when he got himself blown up before I ever met the man." She continued yelling. "Becky that's enough! Shut the hell up NOW!" Dean butted in. You waved a hand in front of his face and slowly walked towards Becky, with your fists clenched. "What did you just say?" You asked trying very hard to control your anger. "Becky, stop, please just be quiet." Sam begged. "You heard me. How can I call that man my father when he got himself killed before I was even born?" She said her voice more shaky this time. "Alright, just making sure I heard you right." Was all you said and before your sister had time to respond your left fist caught her jaw and she fell to the ground. She slowly got up her hand on her jaw. You continued to glare at her as tears began to fall from your eyes. "How DARE you talk about my father that way." You said as you grabbed your bag and headed towards the door. "Chase wait, where are you going?" Sam asked as he grabbed your arm. You ripped your arm from his and pushed him away. "Don't touch me!" You said calmly as you walked out the door slamming it. "What the hell has gotten into you Becky? She didn't deserve that!" Dean snapped as he grabbed his jacket and ran after you. "So you're mad at me too huh?" She asked as she sat down on the bed. Sam just stared at her. "What was that about?" He asked quietly. "I don't know, it's just…I couldn't control what I was saying. With what The Briana said earlier about Tanner, I just got so angry and I blamed Chase for it. I know it wasn't her fault. I don't have any REAL family left, and now finding out that Tanner was possessed makes me even madder because all this time I hated Tanner for what he tried to do to Chase, when he didn't have any real part in it because it wasn't even him." She said as she began to cry. Sam sat next to Becky and hugged her, trying to comfort her.

"Chase wait up." Dean called trying to catch up to you. "Just let it go Dean." You pleaded. "Chase, I'm not gonna leave you alone like this." He said sternly. "Dean, really…just go back to the motel and leave me alone!" You snapped. "I'm not going back unless you're with me." He said as he stood in front of you, blocking your way. "Will you move!?" You began to get frustrated with him. "Just put your stuff in my car and we'll take a walk." He said with a smirk. He knew you'd give in, you knew it too; you never understood it but somehow he always got you to give in. "I hate you." You mumbled as you walked over to his car and threw your bag in. "Of course you do." He said sarcastically. Then Dean's phone rang. "Hello?" He said quickly. "Becky wants to talk to Chase, can you put her on the phone?" Sam said on the other line. "I don't think that's gonna happen, Sammy." Dean said glancing at you for a second. "Can you just put Chase on please?" Sam asked anxiously. He was determined to fix things between you and your sister. "Alright, fine. But I'm warning you now; I don't think it'll work." Dean said as he handed you the phone. "What do you want Sam?" You snapped angrily. "Chase, I'm sorry I di…" You hung up before your sister had a chance to finish. You tossed Dean back his phone. It wasn't long after when his phone began to ring again. "What!" He answered in frustration. "Dean, I know Chase won't talk to me so can you at least put me on speaker phone? Please." Becky pleaded; Dean could tell she was trying to choke back her sobs. He just sighed and put your sister on speaker phone. "Chase listen to me! I didn't mean what I said, I swear to you. I shouldn't have said it I know, but it's just with what happened with you and Tanner; I hated him for what he tried to do to you, and it wasn't even his fault. He had NO control on it and I took that out on you…and dad." Becky tried to speak fast so she could finish was she was saying before you hung up on her again. "I don't want to talk about this right now. I just need to clear my head." You said before hanging up again. You glared at Dean. "If you're going to insist upon following me and 'making sure I don't do anything stupid' then turn off the damn phone. If not, then leave me the hell alone." You scowled. So Dean turned off his phone and continued walking with you. "So, where are we going?" Dean asked, breaking the silence. "I don't really care." You said as you walked faster. "Why don't we just sit somewhere then? I'm tired of walking; and I can barely keep up with you." Dean said with a quiet laugh, trying to do anything to make you feel even a little better. He hated seeing you upset. "Fine you big baby, where do YOU want to go?" You asked stopping and facing him. "Why don't we get some food or something?" He suggested. "I'm not that hungry." You said. "I don't care, I am. So let's go get something to eat, and I am NOT a baby." He said smugly. "You can keep telling yourself that Dean if it'll make you feel better." You replied with a smirk as you pushed him. "I'm not talking to you anymore." He said as he stuck his tongue out at you and pushed you back; catching you off guard, making you fall to the ground. You just gave him a death glare, stood up and brushed yourself off while he stood there laughing, not bothering to help you up. "You're a bitch you know that?" You said, trying to sound angry at him, he obviously knew you were trying to fight back a smile, so he just winked at you and kept walking. You laughed quietly at yourself and caught up with Dean.

"Where are you going?" Sam asked Becky as she grabbed her coat and headed for the door. "I have to fix things with Chase. So I'm going to find her." She replied quickly. "I think you should let her just clear her head, talk to her when she comes back." He replied back while he blocked the door. "I don't know if she's coming back!" Becky began to raise her voice again as more tears fell from her eyes. "Dean's with her. I guarantee that he won't come back unless she's with him." Sam said. "Besides it'll give them time to hopefully realize their obvious feelings for each other." He added with a smirk. "You're right Sammy. But if they're not back in an hour I'm going to look for them, and don't think you'll stop me Sam Winchester." She said with a wink as she threw herself on the bed and turned on the TV. Sam rolled his eyes as he layed next to her on the bed.

"What are you looking at? Is there something on my face?" You asked Dean accusingly. "I thought you weren't hungry?" He said matter-of-factly. "Don't be a smart ass. I changed my mind." You retorted as you shoved more food in your mouth. "And I thought you weren't talking to me anymore?" You added with a raised eyebrow. "I changed my mind." He replied mockingly. "Suuuuure. You know you would miss talking to me." You retorted with a smirk. He rolled his eyes at you and continued to look at you. "Alright, seriously dude, what are you looking at me for?" You asked after a few more minutes; you were getting slightly annoyed at him. "I feel like it, you got a problem with that?" He said with a smirk. You didn't bother to reply, so you just ignored him and continued eating. "Seriously Chase, I think you should talk to your sister." He said after a couple seconds, he understood why you were so upset; but he also knew you had to work things out with Becky. "You do, do you? Well I don't care what you think I should do." You said sternly. "You can't just ignore her. What would that accomplish?" He asked very seriously. "It will keep me from doing something I'd regret." You said with a smirk. "I'm not joking Chase, here call her." He said more loudly, handing you his phone. "You want to talk to her so badly, you call her." You said as you got up and threw money down for your food; storming out of the restaurant with Dean close behind, once again trying to keep up with you. "Damnit Chase! You can't just storm off whenever something pisses you off…it helps to talk about it!" He yelled as he grabbed you by the sleeve. "Who am I suppose to talk to!?" You yelled back at him, swatting his hand off of your arm. "Anyone, hell I'm your best friend, talk to me!" He was attempting not to yell anymore. "You're one to tell me to talk about my feelings Dean Winchester! You're such a hypocrite!" You snarled. "I know, I should be taking my own advice, but this isn't about me. This is about you…and I'm worried about you. You keep everything in and it's not healthy." He said, lowering his voice a little. "I'm not getting into this with you right now. I don't have time for it." You said as you finally got his arm off yours and you headed to the park.
After a few minutes you saw Dean come and lay next to you in the grass. "You're stubborn you know that." He said, with a small smile. "Yeah, well that's what makes me...so…me." You replied smugly. "Yeh." He said quietly. "Are you still mad that I won't call Becky?" You asked after you noticed that Dean sounded sort of upset. "No, I just have a lot on my mind." He replied. "Well, since you're so into being all sharing and caring…tell me what's on your mind." You said mocking him. "Cute, very cute." He said as he sat up. You sat up too, you were actually quite curious on what was going through Dean's mind. "Dean…is everything okay?" You said more seriously this time. He didn't respond, he just kept looking ahead. "Dean, you're starting to scare me a little, are you o…" You were suddenly interrupted by Dean's lips crashing onto yours. At first you were too shocked to respond, and then you deepened the kiss.
"See Becky, I told you they needed time to sort out they're feelings." You heard Sam say from behind you. "Yeah, I guess you were right. It took them long enough though." Your sister replied with a laugh. "Uhm...hey Sammy, Becky. How's the weather?" You asked; trying to ignore the looks they were giving both you and Dean. "You 2 need to talk." Dean said, as he got up and grabbed Sam by the sleeve. "We'll see you guys back at the room. Don't kill each other." Dean added giving you a warning glance when he said the last part. You just rolled your eyes at him. "Chase…listen to me…" Becky began. "I know you didn't mean what you said okay, can we just…move on or something? I don't feel like talking about it." You interrupted. "But I swear if you EVER pull that crap again…" You were about to finish but this time you were cut off by your sister. "I can imagine what you'll do to me Chase. No need to say it." She said with a laugh, causing you to smile yourself. "So you and Dean eh?" She joked. "What me and Dean? There is no me and Dean." You said trying to get your sister off the topic. "Not according to that kiss." She said with a smirk. "It was a kiss; people kiss all the time, that doesn't mean that they're in love or anything." You retorted. The truth was that you weren't sure what you were feeling. "Sure Chase whatever you say." She said. "Hey Becky, why don't we head back to the motel before the boys start to think we've killed each other?" You suggested. "Yeah, I think that's a good idea." She said as she got up and hugged you.

"I'm assuming that everything's good between you to. I mean I can only handle so much chick flick drama for so long." Dean said as you and Becky walked into the motel. "Shut up Dean and give me the keys so I can get my stuff that YOU made me put in the trunk." You retorted. "I'll go with you. I can't trust you with her anymore." He said as he got up from the bed and headed to the door. "Yeah I'm sure that's why he's going with her." Sam said to Becky quietly. "Shut up Sammy." You and Dean both snapped at the same time. "Where do we go from here?" You asked awkwardly. "What do you mean?" Dean replied as he opened the trunk of his impala. "Well, you kissed me at the park…so you tell me." You said. "Oh." Was all he said then he started walking back to the room, but was stopped when you grabbed him by the arm. "Dean don't you dare act like nothing happened." You snapped. "I know that something happened alright, I just need to figure some stuff out alright?" He said. "You're right." You said as you let go of his jacket and walked back to your room. "Of course I'm right; I'm older so that means I'm ALWAYS right." He said with a chuckle. "You're only older by like 2 years." You snapped. "Yeah well it's still older." He said with a wink.
"That was quick." Becky said with a laugh, causing Sam to snicker. "Get your mind out of the gutter Becky." You laughed as you through your bag at her, making her fall off the side of the bed with a slam. "Well guys, I think I'm gonna take a shower." You said as you quickly grabbed your pajamas from the chair and ducking into the bathroom. When you got out, Dean was the only one up. "Goodnight Dean." You said quietly as you crawled into bed beside him. "Night Chase." He mumbled as you closed your eyes and quickly drifted off into a deep and much needed sleep. It had been years since you've gotten full nights sleep without being haunted by nightmares, and just laying there with Dean beside you. You felt safer then you've ever felt in your entire life.
