Lyrics at the beginning from 'Irreplaceable' by Beyonce
Sorry it took ages to update but I moved to uni in September and I had so much work to do and stuff to sort out and then I was working over Christmas. I have four assignments to do for January so updates might take a while. Enjoy.
Hell Hath No Fury
Chapter Eleven – Irreplaceable
To the left, to the left
Mmm to the left to the left
Everything you own in a box to the left
In the closet that's my stuff
Yes, if I bought it, baby please don't touch
Keep talking that mess that's fine
Could you walk and talk at the same time, and
It's my name that's on that Jag
So remove your bags let me call you a cab
Standing in the front yard tellin' me how I'm such a fool
Talkin' 'bout how I'll never ever find a man like you
You got me twisted
You must not know 'bout me
You must not know 'bout me
I could have another you in a minute
Matter fact he'll be here in a minute
Baby
You must not know 'bout me
You must not know 'bout me
I can have another you by tomorrow
So don't you ever for a second get to thinkin'
You're irreplaceable
So go ahead and get gone
Call up that chick and see if she's home
Oops, I bet you thought that I didn't know
What did you think I was putting you out for
Because you was untrue
Rollin' her around in the car that I bought you
Baby drop them keys
Hurry up before your taxi leaves
Standing in the front yard tellin' me how I'm such a fool
Talkin 'bout how I'll never ever find a man like you
You got me twisted
You must not know 'bout me
You must not know 'bout me
I could have another you in a minute
Matter fact he'll be here in a minute
Baby
You must not know 'bout me
You must not know 'bout me
I will have another you by tomorrow
So don't you ever for a second get to thinkin
You're irreplaceable
So since I'm not your everything
How about I'll be nothing
Nothing at all to you
Baby I won't shed a tear for you (I won't shed a tear)
I won't lose a wink of sleep
Cuz the truth of the matter if
Replacing you is so easy
To the left, to the left
Mmm to the left, to the left
Everything you own in a box to the left
To the left, to the left
Don't you ever for a second get to thinkin'
You're irreplaceable
"What the hell are we doing here, it's freezing!" Maddy grumbled, slumping lower in the car seat and burrowing into her jacket.
"We're waiting for it to clear so we can go in and check the crime scene out."
Maddy sat back mumbling to herself and rustling as she wrapped a spare blanket around her shoulders.
"Balls to this." She finally muttered, shoving Dean out of her way and clambering over him and out of the door.
"What is she doing?" He asked as they watched her approach the on-duty police officer.
They watched as she chatted to the officer for a moment, leaning towards him a lot and cocking her head to the side every now and then. She ran her hand down his uniformed bicep for a moment and Sam watched Dean's eyes narrow a little. After a moment she gestured to them behind her back and they crept out of the car and around the back of the building.
"You know, it was harder getting in these places before Maddy joined in." Sam grunted as he heaved himself up onto the back porch roof.
"Yeah, but it was easier concentrating before she got here." Dean replied huffily, wrestling with a window on the second floor so they could get in without meeting any police.
"Anything of interest?" Maddy asked from the backseat as the boys climbed into the car, absently flipping through the latest edition of Cosmopolitan.
"A lot of blood."
Maddy frowned; "Anything supernatural?"
Sam shook his head as Dean started the engine.
"Nothing obvious, but then again it never is."
Maddy snorted, circling something in her magazine. She spent the next five minutes flipping between pages with a lot of rifling noises.
"Maddy what the hell are you doing?" Sam finally asked, distracted from his perusing of the reports in his lap and the Polaroid's he had just taken of the crime scene.
"I'm finding out what my break-up style is." She said matter-of-factly.
Dean shot her a look in the rear-view mirror and Sam grinned.
"How does that work then?"
Maddy grinned and pulled her legs up under her on the seat, flipping back to the start of the quiz.
"Let's find out."
Dean snorted with laughter and Sam frowned at him.
"Don't be a wuss." Maddy teased. "Alright first question; 'You go on a blind date. He seems quite keen, but you're just not into him. Do you… a. Laugh at his jokes, have a little kiss at the end of your evening, but politely tell him you're busy when he calls? b. Phone a friend and make them get you out of there asap. c. Be icy with him, so there's no way he'll want to see you again?'"
Sam shrugged his shoulders; "A, I guess."
"You're such a girl." Dean muttered under his breath.
"Uh huh." Maddy marked something on the page. "Next question. 'Your man emails you saying he's hungover then admits it's because he went out for an impromptu drink with his ex last night. Do you… a. Chat to the gorgeous office flirt. He always makes you feel like a great catch. b. Text an ex you're on friendly terms with and arrange a night out. c. Feel left out, but decide it's not worth saying anything to him?'"
Sam considered for a moment; "C."
Maddy rolled her eyes but circled his answer anyway.
"'Your parents are due to visit. Your boyfriend announces he can't see them because his best friend's having a 'woman crisis'. You… a. Don't let it ruin your day with your mum and dad, so try to forget about it. b. Are really annoyed, but decide to let it go. Seeing his parents isn't the highlight of your year, either. c. Make damn sure you're 'working late' next time his mum and dad come round?'"
Sam was distinctly uncomfortable and went back to his reports, half listening to Maddy while Dean listened in amusement.
"A." He sighed.
"Riiiiiiiight. Ok. 'What kind of relationship do you have with your exes? a. You haven't had enough good break-ups to remain mates afterwards. b. Good. You still talk, but never about what went wrong between you. c. OK, although it's not always straightforward. You've kissed a couple of them while drunk?'"
Sam was silent for a while until Maddy poked him hard in the back of the head with her pen.
"OW! Alright. C."
Dean glanced in surprise at his brother; "More than one ex? Surprising me there little brother."
Sam shot him a withering glance and turned his attention back to the files before him.
"'If a boyfriend asks you to cancel a girls' night out so you can accompany him to a work function instead, what would you do? a. Go with him, then leave at 10pm to join your friends. b. Avoid making a decision that would hurt both parties, and stay at home. c. Have a go at your boyfriend for putting you in such an awkward position?'"
Sam shook his head and turned to look at Maddy over the back of his seat at her.
"Do we have to do this…"
"Answer the question." Maddy said in a dangerous voice.
"But…"
Maddy leaned towards him.
"Look, I have been stuck on the road with you two for months now, I have no female company and little to stimulate my intellectual interest. Now answer the question."
Sam looked a little taken aback and smiled meekly; "B."
"Thank you." Maddy smiled sweetly. "'Your best friend borrowed your favourite top without asking and has ripped it. Do you… a. Make her pay for a new one. It's only fair. And tell her she can't borrow your stuff anymore. b. Use it as an opportunity to go on a shopping spree together so she can tell you what sort of clothes suit you. c. Say nothing. It was an accident after all?'"
"C, I suppose."
"Maddy how many questions are in this?" Dean asked, glancing at the darkening sky through the front window.
"Hush."
They continued in this vein for the entire trip to the motel they were staying at, Sam half-heartedly answering the questions and Dean sighing in amusement every now and then.
"OK and you are: The Bottler. You're a private person, so when a relationship falls apart you'd rather find your own way through it than share the details with all and sundry. The fact that you can find it within yourself to cope with a split, or any kind of emotional crisis, is a sign of your strength. Remember, though: you need to let off steam when something upsets you, or you'll explode."
"Well what do you know little brother, some quizzes are right after all."
Sam glared at his brother but Maddy didn't notice as she turned to Dean.
"Your turn."
Dean shook his head helplessly and Sam turned to him.
"Remember when all we had to worry about on these trips was gas money and surviving them?"
"Ah the Library. So many memories." Maddy sighed as they climbed out of the car and stared gloomily up at the huge building.
"Geek." Dean muttered, following them up the front steps reluctantly.
Maddy shivered and held her jacket tighter around herself against the harsh wind that had developed.
"I like books, that doesn't make me a geek." She sniffed haughtily.
Dean shrugged and stared around at the huge shelves waiting for them.
"I imagine you only used the library at school for secret make-out sessions and to look at back-issue copies of Playboy between classes."
Dean shot her a look, which she ignored. They had yet to discuss what had happened between them but there was evidently no change in attitude on her part, she hadn't treated him any differently than she had ever done.
"I've read books." He snapped defiantly as they made their way down the centre aisle towards the Reception desk.
"I bet you've never voluntarily read a book in your life!" Maddy snorted.
Sam rolled his eyes at them and joined the few people queuing for information from the Reception desk.
"Actually I've read all five of the Harry Potter books!" Dean announced triumphantly.
Maddy shook her head and put her hand on his arm sympathetically. He stared at her in confusion and she smiled sweetly at him.
"There's six Harry Potter books now, darling."
He blinked and looked at Sam who nodded, fighting back laughter.
"When did that happen?" He asked in amazement.
"You… don't get out enough." Maddy said, shaking her head again.
"And being up-to-date with the latest book releases is exciting living is it?" Dean asked sceptically.
He received several harsh looks from the people milling about around them and Maddy turned away from him, laughing into her hand.
"A library isn't the best place to start slamming books." Sam muttered, receiving a punch on the arm for his warning.
They moved up to the desk as the tourist couple before them moved off talking loudly.
"Hi can I help you?"
Sam smiled at the pretty young librarian who was stood behind the desk.
"Well we were looking for some books…"
Maddy snorted quietly to herself; "Very articulate Romeo."
"Specific books actually."
The librarian smiled at him kindly; "What topic are you interested in?"
Sam relayed a list of possible books on demons they were searching for and the girl smiled.
"Strange choice, but I think we have some I could dig up for you. Anything else?" She asked, looking at Sam from under her lashes.
Dean and Maddy exchanged a look behind Sam's back.
"Riiiiight. Well I'm gonna be over here."
Before anyone else could say anything Maddy had wandered off into the Early 19th Century Literature section.
"Librarian's hot." Dean observed.
Sam looked at his brother over the top of the photocopier and frowned.
"Don't."
Dean shrugged and turned away, dropping the subject which had become a repetitive argument between them.
"Done. Let's find Maddy and get out of here." Sam announced, dumping their pile of books on a Returns trolley and tucking the photocopies into the file with the reports.
They found Maddy chatting animatedly to the librarian. They were both smiling and gesturing when the brothers approached.
"Talking about us?" Dean asked, putting his arm around Maddy's shoulders. "I'll clear it all up for you, Sammy's single. Feel free to do what you like with him."
Maddy scowled and elbowed Dean in the ribs as Sam blushed involuntarily and shot a withering look at his brother.
"Actually we were having a conversation about Jane Austen's novels. It's called culture you philistine." She snapped.
He rolled his eyes and gave her that look from under his lashes that melted her anger.
"I hate it when you do that." She muttered.
He ran his hand over her hip, slipping it under her top slightly and sending electricity thrilling through her body.
"Why?"
"Because it makes me want to agree to anything." He smirked and pulled her against him slowly. "Which is never a good idea."
Sam coughed and Maddy jumped, glancing at him in surprise as though she'd forgotten he was there.
"Sam, Dean… this is Ava."
The librarian nodded at them and Dean, disgruntled at being disturbed, nodded back.
"Did you find what you needed?" She asked Sam.
He nodded and she smiled sweetly at him, rustling some papers together.
"Hey Ava."
She turned to look at Maddy who was leaning over the desk towards her.
"Why don't you come to our hotel tonight?"
Ava, Sam and Dean, who had been eyeing Maddy's exposed lower back with interest, gaped at her.
"What?" The brothers asked in unison.
"Well you can join us for some very exciting Room Service for dinner and we could continue our discussion." Maddy continued, ignoring the boys next to her.
"Well, I… err…"
Ava glanced at Sam who smiled at her politely, not sure at all if this was a good idea or not.
"Oh come on, say yes. Please? I need some female company I've been stuck with these two for months."
Ava shrugged; "Sure."
Maddy grinned and wrote the address of their hotel on a piece of paper.
"This is Sam's number, if you have any problems you can ring him and he'll sort you out."
She stamped on Dean's foot before he could make a rude remark and waved goodbye before Sam could protest about his number being given out.
"That was easy wasn't it, bro?" Dean smirked.
Sam shoved him lightly and turned on Maddy who was waving over her shoulder at Ava.
"Why did you do that?"
Maddy rolled her eyes at him and put her arm around his shoulder conspiratorially.
"Because she's hot, she's into you, and you definitely need to get laid, Buddy-boy."
Dean laughed and gave his brother a told-you-so look as he pushed open the doors.
"Besides she's really lovely, I approve… and so would Jess."
They made their way down the steps through the blustery winds and rain.
"The girl makes a good point, Sammy."
Sam followed the two of them, laughing in disbelief.
"And when did I join this Dating Service?"
"The moment you chose extra research over a night at a bar between jobs." Maddy replied, climbing into the car out of the rain happily.
"Amen." Dean agreed, starting the engine and pulling out of the carpark.
"Hey lover, got you a present."
Sam watched Maddy dangle something next to Dean's head curiously, something from a library for his brother? They stopped at a red light and Dean took the book from Maddy. It was the latest Harry Potter book.
"About time you caught up." She said, pulling the book she had borrowed for herself out of her bag.
"I thought about getting you something, Sam." She continued.
"Really, what was that then?" He asked, preparing himself for her answer.
"The Karma Sutra."
Dean laughed out loud as Sam threw his empty cup at Maddy in the backseat.
"Well I thought about it but then I remembered all the stories Jess used to tell me and I figured if you got any better you'd risk spoiling women for any future sexual encounters after you."
Dean stopped laughing and turned to stare at his brother, who was bright red and staring studiously at the photocopies in his lap.
"Well well, perhaps you are related to me after all." He said.
Sam rolled his eyes and pointed at the book on the dashboard.
"Shut up and read your children's book."
Maddy snorted from the back seat, her nose buried in The Hunchback of Notre Dame.
"Don't pretend you haven't read Harry Potter yourself, Sam."
He shrugged and muttered something.
"I don't blame you." Dean said. "They're addictive, those are."
