So you guys are liking it right? I hope I'm not making the story drag too much, but I love it so... Anyways enjoy. :D
Freshman year was over and summer only had a month and a half left. It was late July and it was scorching outside, and the Winchesters were having one of their annual cookouts. In Dean and Cas' backyard was a big group of people. Dean and Cas and the Charlies, Ash, Jo, Ellen and Bobby, Samandriel, Sam and Jess, but unfortunately Joey was violently ill and couldn't make it,( much to Charlie's dismay), Garth, and Rufus. Then there was also Cas' family, Gabe, Batlhy, Lucifer and Anna.
Lucifer and Jo have been together since Dean was in a coma, which is around, if we could estimate, 17 years, but they've never gotten married, said that they didn't need to. They were technically and legally a married couple, but they never bothered to pay for wedding and crap.
They invited Bradbury's older sister but she just always had so much for school to accomplish that she had to politely refuse. Bradbury did invite her girlfriend, Meg Masters, over. Charlie liked her sarcasm and dark humor, it reminded her of Pops a little, but Meg hadn't yet arrived. Charlie had also invited Jesse and his mom, but they hadn't arrived yet either.
When the summer began all of Jesse's senior friends left for college like his older brother and Charlie could see that he didn't really know what to do with himself, so she invited him to hang out one day with her and Bradbury and they've been friends ever since. Turns out his mom knows Aunty Jo and Uncle Sam from high school, so everything just worked out fine.
Dean was shirtless, working at the grill, Sam was shirtless, drinking beer next to him, and Charlie and Bradbury had to throw rocks at the neighboring college girls three times because they kept staring. If you were male and you weren't shirtless at this cookout then you were in a wife beater or muscle shirt which was close. It was just so hot, the weird thing was that her Dad and Uncle were the only two wearing Jeans, they for some weird reason refused to wear shorts, they were odd.
Charlie was wearing some cut off jeans, made from an old pair of tight skinny jeans, they were light blue wash, and hugged her butt in a way that made her father's cringe a little, they came up a little higher then mid thigh. She was wearing a black sports bra under one of Dean's old Zepplin shirts that she cut the sleeves off of so that her entire sides were showing, and cut the collar lower, and the bottom higher so you could actually tell she was wearing shorts. She topped it off with some lace up doc martin boots, and her hair was thrown up in a messy bun but it was falling out in some places, curling everywhere. Bradbury was wearing a skin tight black tank top and some baggy gym shorts with ratty sneakers, her long red hair was down and waving around her face. Dean and Cas couldn't help but think about how beautiful they both are.
Charlie never put on sunscreen, like her Dad she was tan and her face was covered I freckles, and she was laughing at how much sunscreen Bradbury had to apply because of her super fair skin.
"You know what, not everyone can just soak up the sun and become all golden and perfect like you and your Uncles okay, I fry like an egg if I don't put on this shit." Bradbury hissed at her and Charlie giggled.
"Sorry, sorry gosh." Charlie said holding her hands up as if Bradbury were pointing a gun at her. They both laughed as Samandriel spilt beer all over his tank top and decided to just take it off after trying to wipe out the stain for five minutes. Her uncles Gabe and Lucifer had discarded their shirts as well. Thank god they were all decently fit, otherwise they might have an issue.
The doorbell rang inside the house and Sam went to go answer the door, to see if it was Jesse and his mom or Meg. Samandriel spotted Charlie and Bradbubry laughing at him and started walking over.
"Are you two laughing at my failures?" he asked in mock anger.
"No." Bradbury said giggling and hiding behind Charlie, "Meat shield!" she yelled as she used Charlie to block her from Samandriel, Charlie was still laughing and then out of no where Samandriel picked her up and threw her over his shoulder.
"Samandriel! Put me down!" she yelled and giggled some more. She was kicking her feet a little and punching his back lightly.
"Not until you apologize!" he said grinning.
"Never!" Charlie said defiant and now Bradbury was poking her with a stick in different places and she couldn't get to her, "Bradbury when I get down I'm going to kill you." she growled.
Jesse followed his mother and Charlie's super good looking and super jacked, really tall uncle through the house and into the backyard where he found himself almost face to face with Charlie's, very nice in his opinion, shorts clad butt. She was being held over the shoulder of the good looking Samandriel dude he'd seen once when at her other Uncle's diner, but this time he was shirtless and despite the fact that he's like and older brother to her he couldn't help but feel a small pang of jealousy.
But apparently a lot of people were shirtless at this cookout on a hot July day because Jesse then spotted Charlie's super model looking, also jacked Dad cooking on the grill, her shirtless uncle that owned the dine and another shirtless dude who was short and snarky, he guessed he was an uncle.
"Samandriel! Come on! You are such an asshat!" Charlie shouted again and then giggled. Jesse smiled, she had an adorable laugh.
"Oh hi Jesse" Bradbury then said loudly and Charlie's head snapped up.
"What?!" she said surprised and she moved so much to the right that Samandriel let go of her and she fell on her butt with a soft thud. Samandriel tried to help her up but she shooed him away with a smile and he left to talk to Cas. Jesse offered her his hand when she looked up at him and smiled, blowing a curly strand of blonde hair from her face.
"Thanks." She said grinning at him, she must have learned that from her charming Dad over there Jesse thought, little did he know she actually learned the trick from her Aunty Jo.
"You're welcome," he said shooting a grin back at her and he saw her blush just a little, "So uhh, hi I guess." He added awkwardly.
"Hi, welcome to one of the Winchester's many cookouts." Charlie said curtseying and turned around to stand next to him, and then she groaned. "Uh ohhh" Bradbury added.
"What?" he asked.
"My Uncle Gabe is trying to hit on your mom, but don't worry he's harmless, and says he's bisexual but he could be anything, we don't really know." Charlie informed him.
They watched as Gabriel walked over to Sam, Jess and Jesse's mom.
"Well, who is this fine young woman?" Gabriel asked.
"This is Sara, Jesse's mom, we went to high school together." Jess told him.
"How do you do, I'm Gabriel, like the archangel, and honestly I'd kick myself outta heaven like Lucifer over there if it meant I could be with you." he said winking and she scrunched her nose.
"Gabe, go away, and stop hitting on her, I'm sure she's not interested." Sam grumbled trying to push him away.
"Oh Samsquatch, I'm sorry, I didn't know you'd get so jealous-" Gabriel started but Sam interrupted.
"Gabe! Leave, go drink beer with Balthy or something, just go away." Sam growled rolling his eyes as Gabriel left giving him kissy faces.
They all laughed and Jesse turned to Charlie with a questioning look when Gabe called Sam, 'samsquatch'.
"Uncle Gabe has had a thing for my Uncle Sam since Uncle Sammy and Pops were in college together. It's a long story that you probably don't want to hear." She explained.
"So this is your family?" he asked.
"Basically, it's Bradbury's now too I guess, feels that way anyways, I wish my cousin Joey was here, you'd like him, he's more like a brother, but he's really sick so he couldn't come." She told him.
"I'm sure I'll meet him some other time." Jesse told her and loved the smile she beamed up at him because he'd just indicated that they weren't just friends for a day, but that they'd be friends for a while.
"Well come on, I'll introduce you to everyone." She said smiling and dragged him around the yard. He met Bobby and Ellen first, then waved at her Dad at the grill and was officially introduced to her Giant Uncle Sammy and her Aunt Jess, then he met her Uncle Gabriel who was definitely interesting, next came Balthazar, who was the only one with a british accent, and then he fist pumped Ash whom he already knew, said a quick hello to Garth, met Samandriel who grinned at him knowingly and then came around to Uncle Lucifer and Aunty Jo.
When they were walking away from aunty Jo he couldn't help but ask, "You're sure you were adopted because that over there is an adult version of you." and Charlie giggled, which made his stomach flip and flop.
"I'm sure, she's not even blood related to my Dad and Uncle, they grew up with her, Grandma Ellen was like a mom to them, and Grandpa Bobby like a dad, so they consider her a sister." She explained and nodded but stopped short when Charlie did because they were standing in front of Castiel, her other father.
Jesse had been hanging out with Bradbury and Charlie a lot this summer but he's only ever met Dean because they were either at the shop or at home, and whenever they were at Charlie's house Cas was teaching.
"Hey Pops, I'd like to introduce you to Jesse Blake, Jesse this is my Pops." She said introducing them. Cas shook his hand.
"Nice to meet you Jesse, I'm Castiel but you can call me Cas." Her Pops said and was shocked at how deep his voice was and how elegant his words sounded compared to the rest of the family.
"Hi, nice to meet you too." Jesse said shaking the man's oddly firm grip.
The rest of the cookout was fun and full of laughter and embarrassing family stories. Jesse's favorite was when Dean told everyone how one day he woke up to find Charlie digging around in his closet to find his boots. She was five, and wearing a pair of his boxers and a wife beater, he asked her what she was doing and she said, "Daddy, this is my costoom, I'm gowna be you for haw-woween." He could see the love in Dean's eyes when he told that story, it was sweet.
Later on when Jesse was driving home with his mom she said, "They're such nice people, and a god looking bunch too."
"Yeah.." he said looking out the window.
"Jesse, you like her don't you." his mother said as a statement, not a question.
"What?" he asked confused.
"You like Charlie, you have feelings for her." She rephrased.
"Yes, I do. A lot. Ugh mom, she's so funny, and sweet, and smart and she can build cars, and fix everything and she's like wicked beautiful and ughhhhh" he groaned.
"Well why don't you ask her on a date?" she asked him.
"Because I don't think she liked me that way, like only as friends." Jesse said miserably.
"You never know until you try." She told him.
"Yeah, but I don't want to try and be wrong." He whispered.
XXXXxxxxxSupernaturalxxxxxxXXXX
They were already half way through sophomore and Charlie and Bradbury were both 16, they had early birthdays, and Jesse was 17, in his junior year, life was starting to go buy fast and it was scaring Dean and Cas. Jesse still hid his feelings for Charlie and Charlie hid hers for him, and they were the only people who didn't see how they felt for one another. It was a lot like how Dean and Cas were when they first met.
One Friday Charlie and Jesse were walking out of school, the day had ended and they wanted to get out of there as soon as possible. Bradbury was staying with her sister this weekend and had split from them a little early, but Charlie pulled out her phone to see that Bradbury was calling.
"Bradbury?" she asked.
"Charlie look in front of the school, like right in front okay?" Bradbury said.
"Yeah, okay." Charlie said slowly and Bradbury hung up.
"What was that about?" Jesse asked.
"I dunno, Bradbury just told me to look right in front of the school, come on." Charlie said and they headed that way.
In front of the school was Charlie's cousin Joey leaning against Uncle Sammy's mustang, and when he spotted her he held up the keys and jingled them. Jesse hung back when he saw that Charlie smiled at the strange boy.
"Ahhhhh!" she screamed in a high pitched voice and ran over to Joey and jumped into his arms to give him a hug. Jesse clenched his fists in jealousy. Charlie was hugging a good looking boy who was at least five inches taller then him, the boy was wearing a tight black t-shirt and ratty jeans, and had the keys to a really nice mustang, no wonder Charlie liked him. What he was confused about was why Charlie had never told him that she had a boyfriend. He shot Charlie a text telling her he had to go and left.
Charlie was so psyched.
"Joey! Uncle Sammy gave you his mustang? UGH I am so jealous, do you know how long I've been waiting for my dad to give me the impala?"
"Yeah, okay. Uncle Dean's never giving that thing up." Joey told her laughing.
She giggled, "So why are you here?" she asked.
"Well, I needed to learn how to get from home to school, so I figured why not visit Charlie too." He said grinning.
"Wait but your school is two towns over if your getting from home to school then you wouldn't need to drive here-" she stopped talking, realization dawning on her, "YOU'RE COMING HERE?"
"Yup, I was sick of my old school and only focusing on music instead of having a normal teenage life so I told my parents and they happily moved back. We're in my house again and I'm attending school here." He said happily.
"OH MY GOD! Yes! Finaly!" Charlie yelled happily and hugged her cousin again. "Oh my gosh, Joey you'll love it and wait until you meet Jesse, he's really awesome he was over there…" she trailed off when she saw he was gone then looked at her phone.
Had to go, see you later.-Jesse.
Huh. That was weird.
"He had to go but he'll be at the shop today. You can meet him then." Charlie told her cousin. Jesse and Charlie had both gotten official jobs at the shop but they only worked Thursdays-Saturdays because they needed to focus on school too.
"Yeah? So this is the Jesse kid that you're madly in love with right?" Joey asked as they got into the car. He revved the engine and they both shivered. They loved that sound.
"Yeah it is, but DO NOT SAY ANYTHING, because I will kill you." Charlie warned glaring at him.
"I wont I promise okay?" he said heading towards Charlie's house, "So where'd Bradbury go? I saw her leave before you guys." Joey asked.
"She's spending the weekend with her sister." Charlie told him, dropped her bag inside her house, and then they headed to the shop because Charlie had to work and Joey hadn't seen Uncle Dean yet, Dean had talked to Sam on the phone about the move but he didn't know they were back yet. They pulled up the shop and went inside.
"Daddy! Guess who's here?!" she shouted.
"Who Chuck?" he asked pulling himself out from under a car, and looked up to see his nephew smiling down at him. He shook his head, just like his father, he thought.
"Hey Joe! How are ya kid?" Dean asked as he pulled his nephew into a hug.
"I'm good Uncle Dean, Dad gave me the mustang.." he said slowly.
"He WHAT?" Dean asked in disbelief, "He wouldn't even let me touch it, and I helped him build it." Dean said.
"Well, he can't drive it to work, it's not professional enough and it was just sitting in the garage so when I turned 16 he gave it to me." Joey told him.
"Don't think that this means you get the impala, not yet kiddo." Dean said turning onto his daughter how sighed in an overly depressed manner. They laughed.
"Hey Dad has Jesse clocked in yet?" Charlie asked.
"He didn't tell you Chuck? Well that's weird, umm he told me needed the day off, his mom wanted him for some stuff. He said he'd be in tomorrow though." Dean said and Charlie shrugged, trying to hide her worry.
"Guess you'll meet him tomorrow." Charlie told Joey who only nodded and she got to work.
That night she sent Jesse four text messages and he still hadn't replied.
Jesse, why'd you ditch me at school?-Charlie
Hey, man is everything okay?-Charlie.
I'm really worried about you Jesse, please reply.-Charlie.
Please just reply when you can alright? I'm freaking out a little.-Charlie.
She fell asleep after the last message and when she checked her phone in the morning Jesse still hadn't returned any of the messages. She tried to make herself believe his phone was dead or something.
Joey and Charlie drove into the shop that day at 11:00, Joey's truck was parked out front, so he was there. She'd have to talk to him in private before he met Joey. When they walked in Ash punched Joey in the arm and blew kisses at her, she clocked in and went out back to find Jesse. As they made there way past some cars she saw Jesse looking at her and Joey with some sort of resentment? Anger? Jealousy maybe? But she couldn't tell because he turned on his heel and headed into the back storage room with out a word.
"Wait here." She told Joey who only nodded and went to make fun of how short Ash was.
When she found him in the back storage room she walked up to him and turned him around and looked him in the eyes and said, "What the Fuck?"
"What do you mean what the fuck?" he asked.
"Oh you know what I mean. Why the fuck did you ignore my text messages? I've been worried! Okay! Last time someone didn't answer the phone in my family they were in a coma Jesse. A coma. And then you look right at me and walk away? What the fucking hell have I done to you?" she asked angrily.
Jesse's face softened noticeably when she explained why she was so worried but hardened a little, she didn't know what she did.
"You don't know what you did? Are you kidding? We're supposed to be best friends and you completely forget to mention that you have a boyfriend with a mustang, that's what." He hissed back.
Charlie smiled, but it wasn't happy, "You've got to be kidding me. Jesse, first of all, me having a boyfriend is none of your business unless I want it to be and second of all, he's not my boyfriend! He's my fucking cousin you dumbass! The one I was trying to introduce to you until you death glared at me. It's not okay, to just assume things like that. Damn" she said rubbing her hand across her face. "And he's younger then me!" she said throwing her arms in the air in an exasperated expression.
Jesse's eyes widened in realization and then his shoulders slumped in guilt and embarrassment. He then whispered, "You're younger then me…"
"Why the hell does it matter if I'm younger then you? I'm still trying to figure out why you were so mad at me be-" Charlie stopped talking, realizing what Jesse just said. I said Joey's younger then me, as an excuse as to why I wouldn't date him other then the fact that we're related, and then he said you're younger then me. He wants to date me? OH MY FUCKING GOD I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO NOW. WHY ARE MY HANDS SWEATING? SHOULD MY HEART BE BEATING THAT FAST?
"You like me?" she whispered in disbelief.
"Well yeahhh." He said shyly.
"Wait you seriously like me? Like this isn't a joke? If it is I will punch you in the neck, because I'm really happy right now and I don't want to ruin it." Charlie threatened.
"No hold up, back up a second, you said you're happy? You like me?" he asked in disbelief.
"Are you kidding? Way more then I should probably?" she said smiling.
"Thank fucking God." Jesse all but growled and grabbed Charlie's face and kissed her. It was her first kiss, other then the one time Bradbury kissed her because she wanted to know how just in case this happened, but she didn't count that.
They smiled against one another and forgot about Joey torturing Ash in the hallways a lot longer then Ash thought necessary.
