When we arrived at Bobby's Sam carried my things inside along with his own. Bobby opened the door and I followed him inside. I suddenly felt like the weight of the world had fallen on my shoulders and like I could sleep for days. Sam led me up the stairs to the room at the end of the hall. "This is the room I use. I don't think Bobby will say anything if we both stay in here if you want. But if you had rather there's another room just to the left there." I walk over and sit down on the bed. It's very comfortable and I feel myself sinking into near exhaustion. I scoot back onto the bed after kicking off my shoes and lay against the pillows. They smell like Sam and I pat the bed beside me, "I really just want to sleep right now. I think it's all catching up with me."

Sam nods and drops the bags, then he climbs onto the bed beside me, has me sit up so he can put his arm around me and then pulls me against him. "Just sleep then. I'll stay here and hold you." I curled against Sam, with a grip on his shirt front and closed my eyes. I was soon asleep and dreaming of better times.

******************************

Bobby walked up the stairs when he hadn't heard from Sam or Noel in almost an hour. He checked two of the rooms before going to Sam's room at the end of the hall. The door was cracked enough that he could look inside. Peeking around the door he saw Sam lying on his back with Noel curled up against him. Her hand gripped his shirt front and his arm was around her protectively. He wasn't sure he liked them staying in here together but dang it all the girl had been through so much. She had lost everything and Sam seemed to be all she had. He decided he would leave them alone for the night. He would however talk to Sam about this tomorrow.

Bobby slips inside the room and pulls an afghan from the back of the overstuffed rocking chair in the room and throws it over the young couple. As he looks down at them he remembers another young couple he's seen look like this. Sam lay on his back with his arm around Noel and his head turned in her direction and her tucked under his arm, clinging to him for dear life. Bobby had never thought of Sam anything like John but seeing him like this he could see it now. Then he remembered that John hadn't become the warrior that he is now until after Mary had been killed. Bobby hoped against hope that these two wouldn't be put through that.

Slipping out of the room quietly he went back downstairs to do some digging around. He had bad feelings about that camp just from being there the short time he had been. He thought he would call around and check out the counselors.

**********************

When Sam woke, Noel was still sleeping. Not wanting to disturb her he lay completely still and listened to her slow, even breathing. She had relaxed during sleep and now her hand was flat against his chest. Ho noticed that they had been covered up and figured that Bobby had come in while they were sleeping. He groaned quietly and wondered what Bobby was going to say about the two of them being in the same room. He would go down soon enough and find out what Bobby had to say. For now though he only wanted to make sure that Noel was safe.

He lay there for several long minutes before Noel stirred and her eyes blinked open. She realized she was in Sam's arms and smiled sleepily, "Good morning or is it night?", she looked around the room then and noticed how dark it was. Sam kissed her temple, "It's 11 PM. We've slept for most of the day." Noel leans up and captures Sam's lips with her own. Suddenly she pulled back from the kiss. Sam looked at her confused until she spoke, "Oh my God! I just remembered why we're here. The rabbit in my foot locker, and my parents.", her eyes were wide. "It's ok Noel. You're safe here at Bobby's. Why don't you go shower and relax. I'll go down and find us something to eat and check in with Bobby.", Sam said as he gave her puppy eyes and rubbed her arm. Noel nodded up at him and they headed down the hall to the bathroom. Sam showed her where everything was and left her to shower so he could go talk with Bobby.

When Sam wandered downstairs he found Bobby in the kitchen on the phone. He couldn't imagine who he was talking to at this hour unless it was John or another hunter. Sam goes to the fridge and opens it up to find a can drink. Popping the top on the root beer he threw his head back and took a long drink while Bobby finished his phone conversation. Bobby hung up after seeing Sam drinking the root beer. He could tell the boy had questions. "Where's Noel?", Bobby questioned. Sam nodded toward upstairs, "She's taking a shower. Told her to do that and relax a bit. I wanted to see if you had found anything out about what is going on." Bobby nodded and motioned to his desk in the other room. Sam followed the older man over to where books and notebooks were splayed all over the desk. "I did some checking up on that camp you two just came from. Looks like it's owned by an Alexander Cole. When I did more digging on ole Alex here I found out he's a werewolf. I dug a little further and found out that Anna is his daughter. Didn't you tell me that Anna was in Noel's cabin?"

Sam listened to Bobby and then nodded, "Makes a little more sense. I got the feeling that Anna was interested in me. She came off at first to be of help to Noel and me at first. She covered for us a time or two with the counselors." Bobby nodded, "I'll do more checking on the counselors and see if someone will go question Anna." What do I need to tell Noel? Do we go into what we're dealing with here?", Sam looked to Bobby for advice. "Listen your dad will be here probably sometime tomorrow. We'll do more digging and then talk to him. See what he thinks we should do in this situation. It's touchy but we've got to figure out where you two stand. You're both awfully young to know if you're serious enough for that or not." Sam lowered his eyes and then looked back to Bobby, "I know I'm young Bobby but I'm crazy about her. She's not like anyone else I've ever met."

About that time Noel made her way down the stairs, hair still wet from the shower and walked up to Sam. He put his arm around her waist, "What are you two up to?", she asked innocently and scrunched her hair in the hand that wasn't holding onto Sam's belt loop. "Bobby's been checking out the camp. He's still got some things to work on though so let's go see what we can find in the kitchen to eat.", Sam said as he looked down at Noel. He thought she looked really pretty without any makeup on and with her hair wet. Her tan skin glowed and he wondered if she had used lotion. Her skin was always so soft beneath his fingers. He took her hand and she followed him to the kitchen where they found leftover pizza and plenty of root beer. Sam warmed the pizza in the stove since he and Dean had been taking care of themselves for years. When it was ready the couple sat at the table and ate the pizza and talked. There was a sadness in Noel's eyes because of her parents but Sam saw that being with him made her feel better.

********************************

Sam and I sat and talked and ate pizza until almost 2 am. Our sleep pattern seemed to be off but right now I wasn't going to worry about it. I was mourning my parents but I saw what I hoped to be a new life with Sam. I hoped they would accept me. As we sat there we soon heard the rumble of an engine coming up the driveway. Sam looked up surprised and eyes wide. "It's my dad.", he said. We stood from the table and walked into the living room just as John and Dean came in. John walked straight to me and pulled me into a hug, "I'm so sorry about your parents. We're going to take care of this."
