Chapter 14:
Siya and Kim sat alone in the upstairs bedroom of Bobby's house. Donate and Sapphire had taken Jeremy home so they could get him patched up without any questions, well Bobby and the brothers waited in the living room for the girls to come down. Kim had decide that she wanted to break the news to Siya alone. Sam suggested that he be there for comfort, but Kim wouldn't have it. After Kim was able to calm her nerves she started to talk.
"So she's gone" Kim said softly.
"Did you pull the trigger?" Siya asked.
Kim just nodded her head, not able to look her friend in the eyes.
"Are you alright?" Siya asked, and reached over to Kim's hand, holding it tight.
"Ya, I'm better now" Kim breathed out, finally bringing her head up.
"So what do we do now?"
"I'm not sure."
The two girls sat in silence for a moment, thinking. If this was the end of any other hunt, they would just start searching for another close by, and drive on. But it wasn't, they had lost a friend today, no a sister. Even though Amber was playing it was still real for them, and it still hurt. They couldn't just move on, though that would make things easier. Then there were the Winchester boys. Kim and Siya both knew the brothers were gonna move on as well to a new hunt. A group this big of hunters never traveled together, it was always just alone, or a pair. When you added another it became crowded, and complicated. At times it be helpful to have extra back up, but you didn't always need it, and so those times an extra person or more would get in the way. Then with the relationships that were forming, no had formed between the Winchesters and the girls, it just made things worse. It brought to question how exactly to say goodbye, and there was no way to avoid it.
"Do you think we should have another service?" Siya asked suddenly.
"Um, I'm not sure. I mean technically Amber's family already buried the casket and everything" Kim replied.
"Ya, an empty casket."
"If you want to we can, but it just have to us. And there still be nothing to bury."
"I guess so. But I think it be good, maybe just set up a memorial or go visit her grave. You know we still haven't been there."
"The hunt kind took over my... Our time."
"So then do you want to just go the cemetery? I was thinking we could bring some flowers, and maybe this picture of us."
Siya grabbed her purse and pulled out a small frame. It was a picture back from when the girls first met and Amber's mom wanted to get a picture of her daughter's first friends in this town. They were just barely in high school and it was Kim's old back yard.
"Ya that be fine" Kim said as she took the picture, and began to burn her eyes into it.
A stray tear fell down her face, and then they started to pour out. Siya scooted closer wrapping her arms around her as she began to cry to.
"They've been up there for a quiet a while" Dean spoke, as he stared at the stairs.
"Give them time boy" Bobby suggested.
He pushed out a giant sigh and kicked some dust on the floor.
"Who wants another drink?" Dean asked.
"You know that's your 3rd one" Sam said.
"So... Do you want another or not?"
"No"
"Bobby?"
"I'm good."
The bedroom door opened slowly, but just Kim exited closing the door behind her. She walked down the stairs and sat at the bottom, just breathing.
"You alright?" Sam asked.
"Ya, defiantly" She answered, those tears really needed to come out.
"And Siya?"
"She's ok to. I just thought I leave her to.. think." Kim said, as she whipped away her final tears and looked up. "She wants to go over to the cemetery before we part ways."
"That sounds fine. Do you think she'll mind if I" Sam started as he gestured towards the bedroom door.
"No, go right ahead. She'll need it, though you might wanna be prepared for more tears" Kim laughed out gently.
"I guess I'll go warm up the car" Bobby said, and walked outside.
Sam smiled lightly then head up the stairs once Kim moved to the side for him. Dean waited till they were completely alone until he took a seat down next to Kim.
"Do you mind?" she asked him, pointing towards his beer.
Dean just shook his head and handed it to her. Kim took a giant swig, then gave it back.
"So do you know where the two of you are headed?" Dean asked, avoided the hard parts, like usual.
"No. Not even sure I want to leave" Kim answered, and placed her head on his shoulder.
Dean wrapped his arm around Kim thinking kinda the same thing, but not wanting to talk about it.
"I'd like your opinion" Kim said, forcing the awkwardness out.
Dean took a moment rolling over millions of thoughts in his head. He wanted Kim to stay, he did, but he had to face that it just wouldn't work.
"You know your dad gave me his blessing" Dean finally said, with a chuckle.
"Really?" Kim grinned, knowing to not push anymore.
"Ya, like he actually thought this could work."
"There were moments I thought it could" Kim said quietly, scouting closer to him.
"Me to."
Minutes passed by as the words were sinking in, and Dean tried to think of more to say because he knew Kim would want more.
"You know ever since my Dad... all I can think about is how much this job has cost me and Sam. We've lost so much; we've sacrificed so much... When I met you, I thought don't I deserve a chance to have something, to get a break" Dean let out.
"That would be nice" Kim said.
"Right? But no? It's my job to save these people... Why? Do I have to be some kind of hero? What about us, huh?... I want you to stay, but I know it be best if you didn't."
"Maybe not... I mean I know I should leave to, but maybe my dad was right, giving us his blessing. Its not like were never gonna see each other again."
"You think so? Cause I gotta be realistic, I don't see much hope for us."
"Really? Cause I was thinking about heading after yellow eyes. You know see what he has in store for Siya and these other psychic kids your brother talked about. I'm sure we'd run into each other then."
"Hmph I'd like that..."
"Me to."
"So this isn't goodbye then?"
"No."
The couple finally looked each other in the eyes and Dean brought his lips down on Kim's hard. The kiss was deep, and filled with more desire then before.
"You know I'd be up for another one night stand" Dean smirked, when their kiss ended.
"I bet you would" Kim said, lightly shoving him away.
Some laughs escaped their lips as they continued to just sit on the stairs holding each other, able to relax. Sam and Siya came out of the bedroom a few minutes later and the older couple watched them share a long kiss before they came to the stairs.
"Seems they've said their farewells to" Dean said, looking up at the pair.
"Remember its not forever" Kim said, bringing his focus back down.
"Ya" he smiled, and leaned in for a light peck on the lips.
Sam let out a fake cough breaking up his brother and Kim's kiss.
"You guys gonna let us down?" he asked.
"I guess we have to" Kim answered, with sarcasm.
Her and Dean stood up on the ground floor and let Sam and Siya pass before saying anything.
"So you ready to go?" Kim asked Siya.
She nodded her head, "Do you mind if we all take one car though, Bobby could bring you boys back here?"
"I'm sure he'd be fine with that" Sam answered. "Dean?"
"Ya that's cool, but I think I liked to drive your mustang Kim" Dean said, grinning.
Kim shook her head at his manly-ness reforming, he was back.
"Sure" Kim said and handed him her keys.
"Well then we should probably get going before Bobby starts yelling" Sam suggested.
They all nodded their heads and headed out the door. Dean and Kim were in front, fake arguing over Dean's obsession's with cars and his baby impala. Well Sam and Siya walked behind, holding hands solemnly. When they got to the cemetery the girls walked to the grave alone, hand in hand. Siya placed down a bouquet of daises and tried to say goodbye. What they spoke seemed to not hold anything about the betrayal. Like the pair had decided it was best to focus on the good, it was like it had never happened. With that finished the girls left the grave and headed back to Kim's car. Both couple kissed one more time. Sam and Siya's sweet and short, but Dean was grabbing Kim's ass the whole time their lips were locked. Then with simple waves and some see you arounds, the group parted and went into their separate cars.
"So you really think we'll see them again?" Siya asked Kim, as they watched Bobby and boys drive away.
Kim didn't bother to answer, knowing that Siya already guessed her answer. She turned the key in the ignition, letting the engine growl a little as Bobby's truck finally passed out of her vision, then she turned up her radio, letting the hard rock fill her head as she sped off.
