Happy Birthday to me. Chapter 10

Jade's phone rang as she finished getting dressed, it was Dean. "Hey" He smiled as soon as he heard her voice. "Hey, we will be pulling up in 5." "Ok, I have to meet a vender at the bar before work. But I am here." He smiled as he hung up the phone. He need to hear her voice after they were not able to save the seal. Even though they were leaving tomorrow, they need a break. She was walking out the door as they came in. "Lexie is in the shower. Tell her I am taking the Charger. She has the Camera blocked in." Sam bent and kissed her cheek. "Ok" Dean walked in as she was digging in her purse for the keys. He smiled as he looked her up and down. She had on a pair of wore jeans with holes on the thighs. Her pink Shox, a white termal under a pink t-shirt with the Auburn emblem on the front. Her hair was down and straight. He bent down and kissed her cheek. His breath hitched as he smelled her perfume. Tommy girl. "I am gonna shower and come by later." She smiled and grabbed her keys, "Ok." He headed upstairs to shower, he need a drink in the worse way.

She was standing at the bar on the laptop waiting. The guy was a late. Then she heard the door open. She looked up and saw Leland with a dozen roses. Something about him looked off. She grabbed her phone and scrolled to Dean's name. Not sure why. "What are you doing here?" He smiled as he slowly walked around the bar. She hit send and sit her phone on the bar. "It is your birthday tomorrow." He was now standing in front of her. Of all days to leave the gun in the Camero, she thought. He ran his finger over the top of her breast. Dean was tying his boots when his phone rang, he looked at it. It was Jade. "I am getting dressed." He could barely hear her talking to someone, but he got a sick feeling in his gut. "Jade. Jade." Then he heard her scream, "Leland stop, please." He stood and grabbed his shirt. "Jade!" He then heard a bang. Then Leland, "I am going to enjoy this." He held the phone to his ear as he yelled for Sam, "Sam! Leland is at the bar." Sam and Lexie run out the door behind Dean. Dean was out of the driveway before they got in Jade's car. He could not get there fast enough. But when he did he was gonna make good on that promise he made him earlier. He slid to a stop as Lexie pulled up behind him. Dean slung the door open. And before he could process what he was seeing he yelled. "Hey!" Leland had Jade tied to one of the beams, her jeans off and had her legs pulled around his waist. When Leland looked up, Dean pulled the trigger. Leland bounced back and his eyes turned black. "Lilth says Hi." Sam raised his hand and squeezed his fist. Leland's head flew up and he begin to scream and hit the floor. Dean was in front of Jade cutting the rope and grabbing her as she fell. "Jade, talk to me. Talk to me." She opened her eyes that were filled with tears. "I didn't know." He begin to inspect her, "Shh shh. It's ok. Baby, he's dead." She had a cut on her head. "Are you hurt anywhere else?" He asked. She looked at him and begin to sob. "I know. It's ok." He pulled a sheet from a nearby table and wrapped it around her waist. "It's ok. Shhh." Sam was clearing the rest of the bar. Lexie was kneeled next to Dean crying. Dean picked her up. "Take her home. Me and Sam will clean this up. " Lexie stood and followed him to the car, looking around the parking lot. "Where is his truck?" Dean sat her in the passenger seat of the Charger. "He didn't need it. We need a place to dump the body." Lexie ran her fingers through her hair. "Ok, I got it. Follow the dirt road past the house, it will curve around to our lake. There is a boat. The middle of the lake is nearly 200 feet." Dean raised his eyebrows. She shrugged. "What? Uncle John need a place to hid evidence too." He ran his hand over his face. "Take her straight home. We can put a family emergency or something on the door after we clean up. Call me if you need me." Lexie nodded as she climbed in the car.

Dean and Sam walked into the house and Dean yelled for Lexie. She came to Jade's bedroom door, "She's in the shower." Dean looked at her, "How long as she been in there." Lexie looked at him, "A while." Sam wrapped his arm around Lexie as she started to cry. Dean walked into the bathroom. She was standing under the shower letting the scalding water run over her. He heard her sobbing. He looked at the ceiling as tears rolled down his face. After a few minutes he wiped his face and grabbed a towel. He opened the door and turned off the water. She didn't move. He stepped in and wrapped the towel around her and guided her out of the shower. He wrapped his arms around her shoulders. Her face was in her hands as she laid her head on his chest. "I left my gun in my car. I didn't know he was a demon. I can't use my powers on humans. I didn't know." He rubbed her back, "It's not your fault. Shhh." After a few minutes she stopped crying. He held her head back and looked at the cut on her head. "Baby, you are gonna need a few stitches. I am gonna go get you some cloths and then I will stitch that up." She nodded and sat on the toliet. He came back with a pair of pajama pants and a t-shirt. She didn't even look up when he came in. He handed her the cloths and turned around for her to get dressed. She turned to hop on the counter and she moaned. He knew that bastard hurt her. He gritted his teeth, "You need to go to the hospital." She smirked, "And tell then what Dean, I got raped by a demon." He twisted his neck and tightened his lips as the words came from her lips. "Oh yeah, my best friends killed him. You can't find him because they also hid the body. That will go over real well." He didn't say anything as he started to stitch her head. She didn't even twitch. Tears steadily rolling down her face. His heart broke every second as he looked at her. This was his fault, Lilth sent him. And she wanted to send a message to him and Sam. She looked at Dean as he cover the stitches with a bandage. "How long do you think it has been in him?" He cleared his throat as he cleaned the mess, "I don't know." He tried to help her from the counter and she jerked from him, "Don't touch me." He backed away. She looked at him, "Sorry, I'm just a little nervous." He smiled, "I know, I'm sorry." She walked to her bed slowly and gently laying on her side facing the glass door. "I will be right back." Dean said as he walked out and closed the door. Lexie and Sam were sitting at the counter. Lexie still crying. Dean walked to the sink and washed his hands. Then he looked out the window, "That was a warning for us." They were quiet as he ran upstairs to shower and change cloths.

Dean walked back down the stairs and grabbed a beer from the fridge. "Don't you even think about doing it." Lexie said. He took a drink, "What?" She looked at him, "Blaming yourself. The demon knew she wouldn't use her powers on him. And if she didn't he would be able to over power her. I know your angry." He smirked as he looked at her, "Angry, Honey I am pissed, furious. That is a bad combination." She grabbed his hand, "Use it, get that bitch." He looked away and tightened his jaw, "I will not stop till that evil bitch is burning in hell. Even if I am right next to her."

He sat in the chair next to the bed and watch as she slept. Then he heard a familiar sound, it was Cas. He walked to other side of the room where Cas was standing. "I am sorry, Dean." Dean looked me in the eye. "You better be here to tell me you know where that bitch is and you knew nothing about this." Cas looked him in the eye. "I didn't know. I don't know where Lilth is but we do know what the next seal is." Dean turned and ran his hand through his hair and shook his head, "No, we are not leaving. Not now." "I understand Dean but I wouldn't ask if it wasn't important." Dean looked at him and smirked, "Important, we haven't been able to stop one yet. This one is no different. I am not leaving." Cas started to speak but Dean stopped him, "You just let me know when you find her. Until then, don't bother me."

He woke up the next morning still in the chair. He looked to the bed, she was gone. He jumped up and ran through the house. Lexie and Sam were still in bed, but no Jade. Then he looked out the back sliding door. He grabbed his coat and walked to the bench behind the barn. She was sitting there with a cup of coffee wrapped in a blanket. He sat next to her, arms resting on his knees, looking out into the wood like her. "You scared me. You weren't in bed." She sipped her coffee, "Did you sleep in the chair all night. That couldn't have been comfortable." "It wasn't that bad." They were quiet for a few minutes. He knew why she sat here. The same reason he did. It was peaceful, allowed him to sort through his thoughts. "I want you to go." He looked at her and stood. She grabbed his arm and pulled him back down. "I mean on the job." He shook his head and looked at the ground, "I'm not leaving you." "Yes you are. If this is a seal, it could be your chance to stop this." He smirked, "I haven't stopped one yet. I am always right behind the bitch. I beginning to think it can't be stopped." "Dean, you may be right. It may be meant to be. This Apocalypse may happen whether we want it to or not, but you have to try." He looked at her, "What is the point? And why do you think it is gonna happen regardless. " She looked at him, "Because I have read it." He looked back to the woods, "What in one of your books?" "Yeah, It's called the Bible. It is all written out. Well, I did have to google some stuff. Some of it I didn't understand, since I am a simple country girl." He smiled as she continued. "But that doesn't mean you can't stop it." He smirked, "Yeah it does, I am beginning to think the angels don't want to stop it either." "God wouldn't have pulled you from hell if didn't think you could do it. Do this, please." He looked at her and smiled and she smiled back. "Thank you for helping me last night." He shook his head and gently laid his hand on her knee, "You don't need to thank me." She laid her hand on his and he smiled. "That is twice you came to my rescue." "Baby, you don't need to be rescue. Just picked up when you fall." He kissed her cheek. "And I will be there every time." He leaned back and laid his arm behind her on the bench as they both stared out to the woods. She smiled as he grabbed her coffee cup and begin to drink it. "No comment about me being a simple country girl?" He looked at her and smiled, "That is another reason you are so special. You may not believe that, but I have never met anybody like you. I have never had anybody I could just say anything to. And feel better when I did. Not even with Sam. And you don't judge me." She smiled, "It's not my job to judge. Only god can do that. Besides, only those without sin cast the first stone. And God knows I am not without sin." He hugged her close, "You are as close to perfect as they come in my book, Sweetheart." They sat for a few more minutes as Dean finished her coffee. He stood and held her hand as she got up, "I need to get Sam up so we can head out. And I need some good coffee, not this girly coffee." He held on to her hand. "Girly coffee, that didn't stop you from drinking it all." She shut the door as he fixed them both some coffee. She sat at the island as he woke Sam. Lexie sat at the island with Jade and sipped her coffee then held Jade's hand. "You ok." Jade smiled at her, "I will be."

The boys packed up. Sam was kissing Lexie bye at the car. Jade was standing on the porch when Dean came out and stood in front of her. He pushed a stand of hair from her face. "Are you sure your gonna be ok?" She rubbed his cheek, "Yes, the sooner you kill that bitch, the better I will be." "I'm sorry." She smiled, "It's life, Happy Birthday to me." She smiled as a tear rolled down her cheek. He wiped the tear with his thumb, gave her long soft kiss. "Happy Birthday." She smiled. "Thank you." He kissed her again, "I will call you tonight. But if you need me before then call me." "Dean, go. Be careful." He smiled and walked down the steps and opened the driver door. He looked back at her and smiled. Even with her hair a mess and pajamas she was still beautiful. He loved her. He wasn't in love with her, but he love her. "I mean it call me, if you need me before I call." She smiled, if circumstances were different, if he wasn't a hunter, and she wouldn't seem so weak. She would tell him, tell him she was truly, madly, deeply in love with him. But that would never happen. "Bye, Dean." They watched them pull out of the driveway and wrapped an arm around each other as they walked back in. Lexie walked out of her room with a bag. "Happy Birthday." Jade smiled. "Oh my god! I love it." she said as she pulled out the new Ed Hardy Hoody. She hugged Lexie and put it on. "You are welcome. Now get dressed. I am starving." She smiled as she walked back to her room. She stopped when she reach her bed. It was a small box and a envelope. "Lexie!" Lexie was standing at the door. "I'm right here. He told me to make sure you got it after he left." She sat on the bed and opened the envelope.

"I have never done this before, bought any kind of gift for a woman. It's not much, but it is you. I realized the things I tease you about are the exact things I love about you. You are smart, beautiful, and special in a simple way. Thanks for being my best friend. Happy Birthday."

Dean

She smiled as she opened the box. Then her eyes slowly filled with tears as she pulled it out of the box. It was a thin gold chain, with a gold charm, "SIMPLIFIED". Nothing fancy, perfect. Lexie grabbed it and put it on her neck. "He really knows ya." "I guess so." Lexie smiled, "Sam is so getting me one." Lexie walked to the door, "Get your ass moving I'm hungry." She smiled as she walked to her closet to get dressed.
