DISCLAIMER: I DON'T OWN ANYTHING YOU RECOGNIZE
Her heart almost stopped at the sight of that overwhelming smile of him. She felt her knees trembling and her breathing became louder. Her eyes would not move, not daring to lose him from her sight. However, first she needed to be sure he was actually there, that it was not a trick of her mind.
It was no news to anybody that Summer Sullivan had her head quite screwed.
Time passed and nothing happened. He was still there, standing, looking gorgeous as ever, burning holes into her own eyes.
Adam Davis was indeed, alive.
-"Adam?"- She repeated once her voice returned.
-"Sum..."- He sighed as a huge smile broke into his face.
Sum, he had called her Sum.
Officially, Summer was hyperventilating. She knew this had to be real, no demon or monster could trick her that well. Nobody could pretend to be him just like that.
-"It can't be. You're...you're dead."- She mumbled as she shook her head in denial.
-"I know it must be hard for you right now, but believe me, it's me."- He assured.
Adam attempted to take a step to get closer to her, and instinctively she went into full-hunter-mode. He abruptly stopped and looked at her with wide eyes.
-"Summer it is me. I swear."- He told her as he raised his hands slowly in a sigh of surrender and peace.
But she did not pay attention to him, or at least tried not to. She knew that first, before getting her hopes up, she had to make sure that it was him. She had to avoid all the feelings she was experiencing right then and act like a hunter would do as if he was any normal dead-walking.
-"Prove it."- She said through clenched teeth while raising the gun she kept at her side.
-"Damn it! You're name is Summer Sullivan, uh...you were 15 when I first met you, when you were running from home..."- He started saying.
-"That doesn't prove anything."- She interrupted sternly. -"A shifter could know that."-
-"Alright then, what do you want me to do? It's me for crying out loud, and you know it!"- He exclaimed.
Summer did not say anything at that and Adam sighed. -"Fine, if you really doubt that it's me, then shoot."- He said as he opened his arms wide, exposing his chest.
Summer swallowed, feeling a familiar ache in her chest at the mere idea of hurting him again. Her hands slightly trembling as she looked at him firmly.
-"You know I'm not lying."- He said as he took a few steps closer.
-"Don't move."- She warned.
-"Shoot me if you really don't believe me."- He said.
Adam took a deep breath and decided to prove his point and walk to her, risking getting shot himself. He knew better than to test Summer like this, but he would be lying if he said he was not dying to just touch her.
-"I mean it."- She threatened one last time.
But Summer knew it was a lost battle as he got closer to her. Monster or not, she was not about to shoot him, not again. She gave up and as he closed the gap between them, she dropped the hand holding the gun next to her. For all she knew, he could try to kill her and she would not care. It was Adam.
Summer did not fight him off when he brought her against his chest. She did not fight him off when he enveloped his arms around her neither. And she certainly did not fight him off when he planted a kiss on her temple.
She sighed, this was home.
She would be lying if she said she did not think it was all a dream. However, he felt too real, especially now that she was actually touching him. She took a deep breath and smelled his unique scent, the one that nobody or anything could imitate. If this was indeed a trick, it was damn well done.
Adam smiled proudly as he finally, after years, had her in his arms once again. It was the moment he was most waiting for, just to see her again, to be able to speak one more time with Summer. He needed the chance to explain her that it had not been her fault, that she had done the right thing and there was nothing she should feel guilty about.
But that did not matter right then, it could wait, right now he just wanted to enjoy the moment.
Unfortunately, their reunion was interrupted as Tom, Bobby and the Winchesters entered through the back door. They all stopped at the sight in front of them, which so far was Summer hugging a random dude.
But as Bobby got a closer look at the man's face, his eyes went wide and his body went rigid.
-"Adam?"- He questioned.
The hunter gave him a side-smile but surely did not let go the woman in his arms. He was not ready yet.
-"Adam?"- Dean asked with a raised eyebrow. -"Adam as in... Summer's Adam?- He asked alarmed.
As the idea actually entered his mind, Bobby raised his gun quickly and pointed at him, not really trusting in the risen hunter.
-"Let her go."- Bobby warned as he pointed the gun at him.
-"Bobby, it's him. I've already checked."- Tom commented from behind.
-"I won't repeat myself, let her go."- Bobby repeated, ignoring Tom's comment.
At the increasing discussion around her, Summer came out of her own little world and opened her eyes. She had lost track of time as she hugged that familiar chest, which had protected her so many times in the past. Reluctantly she let go of Adam and he did not hold her back, not wanting to scare her.
Deep down Summer knew Bobby was right and she needed to be sure it was him.
-"Prove it."- She repeated as she looked him straight in the eyes.
Adam saw the determination in her eyes and knew that he had to do the whole holy water and silver thing all over again. It had been the same with his family.
He sighed and raised his eyes, meeting Dean's. He noticed how the hunter was struggling to not walk up to him and take Summer off his arms. Smiling at the idea that crossed his mind, he held Dean's gaze as he used one hand to bring Summer's body flat against his.
Instinctively, Bobby and the brothers all raised their guns and aimed at Adam.
-"Hey!"- Dean exclaimed.
But Adam did not pay attention to them and leaned closer to whisper in Summer's ear, loud enough for everybody to hear.
-"Same place?"-
While looking again at Dean, Adam lifted the back of Summer's shirt and took the knife she always kept on her waistband. Not without taking his time caressing the soft skin of her back.
Dean felt as his blood boiled at the way Adam was touching her, and the fact that Summer did not complain bothered him even more. He took a deep breath and clenched his fists, trying to calm himself down and not shoot the guy right then.
Adam took the knife and slowly cut his own arm, proving that he was no shape shifter. Before he could even move, Bobby signaled him, that behind him was a flask of holy water. Adam smirked before grabbing it and turning to look at Bobby, and while holding his gaze took a long gulp.
-"Happy now?"- He asked when nothing happened. -"Like I said, no demon or shifter, just me."-
Summer let out a long happy sigh, relieved that it was actually him and that she had not got her hopes up for nothing. Bobby quickly dropped the hand holding the gun, and took a few steps to go to Adam and pulled him into a big hug.
-"It's good to see you kid."- He whispered.
-"You too Bobby."-
When the men finally separated, Bobby turned to face the brothers who were completely lost as to what was happening. Besides the fact that Summer was not really reacting, Bobby took a step forward and introduced the hunters.
-"Adam, these are the Winchesters, Sam and Dean."- Bobby said as he signaled them.
-"Glad to finally meet you guys."- He said.
He shook hands with Sam first who eyed him suspiciously, but Adam did not give him much importance. He really did not like him either.
Then it was Dean and the tension was obvious among the hunters. They both shook hands while holding their gazes, disliking each other instantly.
-"I'd be glad if you explain how the hell you're here."- Dean stated.
-"Whoa, easy Winchester. My brother will explain."- Tom replied from behind.
-"Oh, so now you grew balls because your big bro is here?"- Dean replied as he turned around.
Tom went to walked up to him when Bobby interfered. -"Easy you two."-
Summer, who had been quiet and only contemplating everything, turned around and fixed her eyes on her risen friend.
-"How long?"- She questioned.
Adam who was not looking at her, turned around. -"What?"-
-"How long have you been back?"- She questioned, looking him straight in the face.
Adam thought about it, knowing better than to tell her the truth. He knew that if he replied sincerely to her question, she would get instantly upset about the fact he did not show up before. Besides the fact that she would have lots of questions he could not answer.
-"Just a couple of days, why?"- He replied calmly.
Summer narrowed her eyes at him but let it go. -"No reason, just curious."- She stated.
First thing she saw were a pair of blue-greenish eyes. She knew those eyes, she just did not know from where.
She remembered the time when she was saved from those demons, and thought about those mysterious eyes. She never really found out who they belong to, because they clearly were not his brother's, or Balthazar's, much less Dean's. At first she had the feeling they belong to Adam, but she quickly discarded that idea since he was dead. However, now as he stood in front of her and she looked him in the eyes, she could swear they were the same as back then.
-"Sum, you're okay?"- Tom asked as she was lost in thoughts.
-"Yeah, I'm great."- She replied and gave him a smile. -"So Ad, how did it happen? I mean, what pulled you out?"-
Adam smirked at her. -"I wish I could answer you, but I just don't know."- He lied.
-"So you have no clue what pulled you out or why?"- Bobby added.
-"Like I said, no freaking clue."- Adam insisted.
-"Uh, that's funny. I mean, there's always a clue."- Dean said.
-"Really? Well, I have none. Guess I'm not as good as a hunter as you or maybe I just missed something."- He said challenging.
-"Where did you wake up?"- Sam asked.
-"A field. Pretty close to the bar actually."- Adam continued.
Not even once since he started replying to all their questions Summer interfered. She just watched him and listened to everything, not really believing his story. She knew him, and she knew him well, especially when he was lying.
An uncomfortable silence filled the room, as everyone eyed each other with distrust. -"Beer anyone?"- Tom offered.
-"I could take a beer, what about you Sum?"- Adam answered.
She smiled despite her doubts and questions and nodded. -"Guess I could use a beer right now."-
-"Hell yeah!"- Adam exclaimed happy and turned to his brother.
All the hunters drank a beer as they spoke about everything and nothing. They all tried to update Adam on what was going on and what had happened. From breaking the seals to open Lucifer's cage, to the devil dying, and to demons trying to find purgatory. He already knew all of this by what he had learnt on the few hunting trips he had gone and by what Balthazar had shared. Of course he played to be oblivious to everything and just nodded.
At one point Dean decided to leave them and go to bed because he was not really in the mood to spend time with the Davis' brothers. Both of them, who happened to have a clear interest in his girlfriend. And not to mention that Summer seemed to have only eyes for Adam at the moment.
He closed the door behind him and took his shirt off, leaving him only in his flannel. He ran a hand through his hair as he let out a long breath, completely exhausted and pissed. If there was something Dean did not need was to have Adam Davis, an important person, better said, important man in Summer's life, back. Especially after what he had meant for her in the past.
It could be said that Dean Winchester was jealous and afraid of what this returning could provoke, on his so far, girlfriend.
Suddenly, the room's door opened and without even turning around he knew who it was. However, he remained still and did not turn to look at her; he kept on giving her his back.
-"Hey, you got lost. Are you okay?"- Summer asked as she closed the door behind her.
-"Why wouldn't I?"- Dean replied sarcastically.
-"I don't know."-
Summer tried to contain her laughter. This was one of Dean Winchester's tantrums, and she had an idea of why it was.
-"So, you're going to bed?"- She asked innocently.
He sighed and closed his eyes but did not reply to her. He knew that he was going to say something stupid that would leave him in evidence. Summer closed the distance between them and pressed herself against his back, wrapping her arms around his waist. He did not move.
-"Dean, are you jealous?"- She asked as she pressed her forehead between his shoulder blades.
Dean snorted. -"Don't know, should I?"-
Summer giggled. -"Dean Winchester, you're cute."-
-"This isn't funny."- He replied in a serious voice.
-"It is a little funny"-
-"Summer..."- He breathed exasperated.
But Dean stopped, not really sure what to say or how to explain himself. He knew that he was being immature and that she had not given him reasons to feel like this, but he just could not help it. He took hold of her hands at his chest and held them tight.
-"Ready to go to bed?"- He asked her, dropping their conversation.
-"Of course Winchester."- She replied happily.
Summer smiled as she let go of him and watched him as he finished undressing until he was only in his boxers. She really loved when he got all jealous and cute like that, but she knew that there was no point. Even though Adam was back, that did not change anything and especially anything with Dean. It would take a lot more to make Summer leave his side.
Truth was she was happy, Dean made her happy. It was stupidly insane how she would not stop laughing when he was around. Or how he would easily read her, knowing beforehand what she was about to say. It was crazy how with just one smile or a look from him, a smile would appear on her face. Summer did not even bother in hiding how she felt around him anymore; she just felt it normal to show herself with him.
It was corny, stupid, crazy, but it was the true. And not even Adam Davis, with everything he meant for her, could ever change that.
They both laid down without issuing a word, not daring to break the comfortable silence. Not that any of them knew exactly what to say since they were not pretty good with words. They both agreed that actions spoke more, which was probably why they have sex all the time, or maybe why everytime they kissed they just could not stop.
Dean had his eyes closed while Summer stared at him intensively. She admired how his jaw's muscles relaxed as he rested, and how it almost made him look as a little, innocent boy.
Eventually he felt her eyes on him and knew that something was bothering her. Probably the same as him, but he did not know how to say it.
-"What?"- He asked as he opened up his eyes and looked at her.
-"Nothing."- She replied calmly.
Dean held her gaze and realized that she actually wanted to voice out something, but did not dare to say it. Feeling that it was the same thing that was bothering him, he decided to help her.
-"So what now?"-
-"What do you mean?"- She asked confused, raising an eyebrow.
-"Adam is back."- He said seriously.
-"Yeah, and I'm thrilled of having him back, I really missed him. Besides, you know I always felt responsible of his dead, after all I was the one who shot him."-
-"Right. And?"-
Dean was looking at her with no emotions on his face, not wanting to burst and say something he might regret. He wanted to her to say what she thought.
-"And that's it. I'm glad that one of my dearest friends is back, what else do you want me to tell you?"-
But he did not say anything else and stayed quiet, trying to avoid her gaze. She smiled and took a deep breath, deciding that now it was time to have one of "those" moments.
-"I have the impression you think I'm just gonna dump you guys and leave with him. But uh..."- Summer started but then stop, trying to accommodate her ideas.
-"Look, I love Adam, hands down, and I'm extremely happy he's back and that his family has him again. But these past few years I've been traveling around with these two brothers that I happen to care about. One of them is kind of a dick at the moment without a soul, but he's my friend almost like a brother. And the other one well..."- She paused and smiled. –"...He's kind of the only man in the whole world that got me into a relationship. I kind of...like spending time with him and the sex is pretty good too."-
She paused shortly while Dean smirked at her rambling. -"So if you ask me, I rather stay with these two brothers than go with Ad."- She finished with a wide smile. -"Any more questions?"-
Dean could not contain himself and before he knew it he was crashing his lips onto hers and rolling them over, ending up on top of her body. She quickly returned the kiss and buried one hand in his hair as the other clung to the material of his shirt at his chest, bringing him closer.
-"God, I love you woman."- He said as they separate to breathe.
-"I know."- She replied with a smug smile and wiggled her eyebrows. -"Me too."-
And that was the end of their discussion for the night. Adam long forgotten for both of them.
Even though she felt his strong arms around her and felt more protected than ever, she could not avoid the nightmares that night. She sat up, sweating and gasped for air as her head replayed the dream once again. One of her hands was at her chest, trying to make sure that her heart was still in there.
Surprisingly, Dean did not wake up this time with her sudden movement, and she liked it that way. Summer really did not want to talk about her nightmare, at least not for now. Slowly, she moved his arms off of her, sat up, grabbed his shirt from the floor and put it on. It was late at night, and the whole house was in silence which meant they were all already sleeping.
Summer sat at the kitchen table with two beers. She needed alcohol and she needed it fast.
This nightmare has been highly disturbing considering someone died, however she could not distinguish who it was. But there was one thing she was sure of, it was someone close to her, someone who she really cares about because the ache she felt in her chest when she woke up, it was something she had never felt before.
She frowned as she considered the possibilities of who might be in danger. And with just a couple of names running on her head, she already felt sick.
-"Hey."- Said Adam as he appeared from behind her, making her jump. -"Whoa, didn't mean to scare you."- He added as he sat opposite to her. -"Two beers at once? Mmh, what's wrong?"-
Summer shook her head and swallowed. -"Nothing."- She replied shortly as she drank a gulp of beer.
-"Seriously? You expect me to believe that? I know you better than that."- He warned her.
-"Tell me what's going on."- He ordered.
Summer smiled despite herself and shook her head. -"Mind your tone with me, I'm not fifteen anymore Ad."- She replied.
Adam chuckled. -"Yeah, but sometimes you still act like you are."- He joked back.
However with just one look at her, he knew that something was really wrong and he wanted to know what. He only wished it had nothing to do with the Winchester guy or else.
-"It's just that...I, I had a nightmare, and ya' know how I am, and how it always bothered me."- She stated as she shrugged. -"No big deal."-
-"Sure you don't wanna talk about it?"-
Summer smiled. -"I'm sure."-
-"Alright then."- He agreed. -"Although I gotta tell you, I thought it had something to do with Winchester."-
-"Dean?"- She asked raising an eyebrow. -"Why would you think that?"-
-"Don't like the guy."- He admitted.
Summer narrowed her eyes to him and sighed. -"So typical of you. You better be nice with both of them Adam, they are my friends."- She warned him.
-"Friends? They are only your friends. Seriously, the two of them?"- He asked as he leaned back on the chair.
Summer sighed. -"Is there something you wanna ask Adam?"-
-"It's just that I don't understand what you're doing with these guys. It's not like you to hunt with company, much less to disobey John's orders, and If I don't remember wrong, he had asked you to not..."-
-"I know what John said Adam, don't need you to remind me."- She replied as she huffed.
-"Still, that doesn't explain why you don't like them."-
Adam shrugged and avoided eye contact as he grabbed one of the beers at the table. -"I just don't. Especially Dean, there's something really off on that guy."-
Summer snorted but did not say anything, and drank from her beer. The whole time Adam eyed her as if waiting for her to say something else, but she did not even open her mouth. Giving up, he sighed and decided to make the big question.
-"So what's up with you and Dean?"- He asked seriously as he studied her face.
Summer swallowed hard before raising her eyes and meeting his. She knew that there was no point in hiding the truth, because sooner or later, he would find out.
-"Dean and I... he's my... boyfriend."- She managed to say, stumbling with her own words.
Adam raised his eyebrows and snorted, not quite believing that she had actually admitted it with her own mouth.
-"Wow, I never really considered you the kind of girl who wanted a boyfriend."-
Summer sighed. -"I never really did, and it was not something I planned. It just... happened."- She explained. -"I've been hunting with them for like... 4 years. A lot happened, and Dean... he has always been there for me."-
Adam clenched his jaw. He did not like at all the way she spoke about Dean Winchester.
-"I see. Well, good for you."- He said as he forced a smile.
But Summer knew him better than he remembered and realized instantly that he did not mean anything he said.
-"I should probably go back to bed. There's a lot to do tomorrow."- She announced to which he nodded. -"Night Ad."- She greeted.
-"Night Sum."- He replied as he watched her go.
Adam did not follow her though, he stayed at the table thinking. Summer had confirmed what his sister had told him, and what he had feared from the moment he returned, that she was actually in love with Dean.
And Adam did not like that... at all.
Next morning was usually calm since the Davis' brothers left early before anyone woke up. Summer was a little shocked that they had left without saying goodbye, especially Adam, since she has not spoken that much with him.
Luckily for the Winchesters, Bobby's house was silent and with two people less. They really disliked Adam and Tom. Dean did not like them because they were just like him, stubborn and cocky, and especially because they both had more than friendly intentions with Summer, his girlfriend. And Sam did not like him, just 'cause he did not. Without a soul as he was, he was not really fond of lots of people.
-"We should probably leave this afternoon. I have a few jobs that could potentially be an alpha."- Summer announced from the kitchen table.
-"Great. We'll be on the road before noon."- Dean replied as he drank his coffee.
Summer nodded while she stared at the newspaper in her hand absently. Biting her lip, she wondered if she should or shouldn't voice her question. Sighing she slumped back on the chair and crossed her arms over her chest.
-"You 'kay?"- Dean asked her raising an eyebrow.
-"Sure."- She replied shortly. -"Hey Bobby, how long have you been awake?"- She questioned casually.
-"Since around 6, why?"- The hunter replied while eyeing her.
-"Just wonder."- She said and shrugged.
The hunter narrowed his eyes at her, sensing that she was hiding something, but let it go nonetheless. Bobby continued reading through his newspaper while drinking his cup of coffee when Summer spoke again.
-"So, do you know when and why Adam and Tom left?"- She blurted out, her eyes quickly going at Dean's face.
Dean fought the urge of lifting his eyes and looking at her, knowing beforehand that her gaze was fixed on him. He also tried really hard to fight the wave of jealousy that he felt at the pit of his stomach at the way she worried about them. He just decided to ignore her question.
-"I was wondering the exact same thing. When I woke up they were already gone."- Bobby explained. -"Maybe they went to the bar."-
-"Most probably."- Summer replied absently as she thought. -"But what calls my attention is that they left without telling anybody. Everything seemed just fine last night."-
-"You mean besides the clear tension between Winchesters and Davis, right?"- Bobby teased.
Dean ignored that comment too.
Summer did not say anything at that and stayed silent for a minute.
-"I'm sure they just had to leave Summer, maybe they were passing by as they went to a hunt of something."-
-"Well in that case, Adam could have mentioned something to me last night."- She complained.
-"When? As you left after Mr. Grumpy headed to the bedroom."- Bobby tease.
At that comment, Dean did raise his eyes and glared at Bobby, who only shrugged and ate some toast.
-"Not then, I mean when we spoke later the... night."- Summer finished, swallowing hard.
She did not intend on confessing that part, but when she realized it, it was already too late. She had said it, and he had heard her. And even though he did not even glance at her, she noticed as his shoulders tensed and his hands clenched into fists.
Dean took a deep breath and drank the remaining of his coffee before standing up. -"I'm gonna get the car ready."-
As he said this, he left. Summer sighed and closed her eyes wishing her mouth could stay closed. She knew that he had not like it one bit the fact she had a late talk with Adam, but then again, she had already tried to ease his fears and doubts. Apparently it was not enough.
-"I guess I'm gonna get ready."- She mumbled before standing up.
Bobby smirked at her, which earned a glare from the huntress, but did not say anything.
Just as he had said, by noon they were already on the road. A clear tension filled the car, as the only thing that could be heard was the engine and Metallica sounding softly.
They reached Illinois in record time where they found a Rugaru, which was going to be very useful for Crowley. Sam made a phone call to a number they were given to contact the demon whenever they found something, and they were instructed to go to an alley.
The whole ride Summer tried to make eye contact with Dean through the rearview mirror but he kept avoiding her gaze. Eventually she sighed and gave up, deciding that he would get over it by himself. Not that she had done something wrong, but apparently Dean was on his period or something because he was grumpier than ever.
They reached the place where they met with a couple of demons driving a black SUV. They handed over the Rugaru, but got no news or signs of Crowley, which got them in a worse mood. Especially Dean. By the time they arrived at where they were staying - an abandoned house - Dean let his fury and anger take over him.
-"No man, screw it, I'm done."- Dean exclaimed as he walked straight to where a bottle of liquor was resting.
-"Calm down."- Sam said as he walked behind his brother.
Summer stayed silent as she softly closed the door behind her and listened carefully on the brother's discussion.
-"We've been going on these freaking Crowley runs and it's not getting us anywhere."- Dean ranted, and when Sam tried to interrupt him, he just continued. -"I mean, the only thing that's really changed, is now I need a daily rape shower."-
-"Okay, you're right. Let's go with Plan B. Oh yeah, we don't have one. So till we do, sorry dude, stock up on soap-on-a-rope. Dean, if you wanna get my soul back, that's what we gotta do, okay!?"- Sam replied, tiredly.
-"Yeah… You even want it back?"- Dean asked suspiciously.
Summer rolled her eyes. -"Seriously, you're gonna do that now?"- She asked, clearly annoyed by the situation.
-"Hey, I don't even wanna start with you."- Dean accused, pointing a finger at her.
-"What did I do now!?"- She exclaimed shocked, her eyes widened. -"Grow up Dean and do us all a favor."- She said before walking out.
Summer headed for the other room, which was only divided by a wall with no door, when something hard hit her on the head and she lost consciousness. She fell limply to the floor, the brothers hearing a soft thud.
-"Summer?"- Dean called. She did not reply. -"Sum?"- He called once again.
Both brothers walked up to the other room, but before crossing the doorway, they spotted her on her stomach, lying on the floor. Before any of them could do or say anything, they both fell unconscious too.
Two men grinned as they eyes turned black.
She felt dizzy and her head hurt. She tried to open her eyes, but her eyelids were heavy. She knew she was tied to a chair or something, but could not even move to try and free herself. She did not know what had happened, but so far she felt as she was screwed.
Suddenly, a pair of warm, big hands untied her from whatever she was tied to, and gently lifted her, cradling her. She felt comfortable against that chest, and with those arms around her, but she had no idea who on earth was holding her. She was just too damn dizzy.
-"You wanna work with a demon again?"- -"We're working with demons now."- -"She killed Ellen and Jo!"- -"I know. But you can't look at his emotionally, Dean. We need her."- -"The hell we do! That little bitch is gonna screw us over so fast –"- -"Of course. Which is why we'll screw her first..."-
Dean and Sam. She did not know what was happening, but she was sure as hell that the brothers were with her, and that they were fighting once again, over...Meg?
Summer winced in pain as she moved her head to a side, trying to see what the hell was happening around her. One of them must have heard her, because soon she felt a big hand across her forehead. A warm, quite familiar hand. Dean.
-"Hey, how ya' feeling?"- He asked in a soft whisper.
-"My head...hurts."- She managed to say.
-"Out of the three of us, you are the one who got it worse. You were bleeding."- He explained as he brushed a strand of hair from her injured forehead.
And there it was, the caring, gentle, loving Dean once again. She was seriously getting tired of his sudden changes of moods.
Despite the throbbing pain she felt in her head, she managed to sat up and fully open her eyes. Dean was right besides her, just in case. Summer raised her eyes, and winced as the light hurt her view.
-"What's going on now?"- She asked as she blinked.
-"Meg is here."- Sam explained. -"She wants us to give her Crowley, but instead we're gonna use her ourselves. Are you up to it?"- He asked.
She did not understand much, but she sure as hell did not want to work for Crowley anymore.
-"Yes."- She said and sighed, looking down at Dean. -"And you Dean?"-
He took a deep breath and closed his eyes before saying the words he did not want to say.
-"Alright. But first, we need to find Crowley."-
He stood up from the floor and held out a hand for Summer to stand up from the couch. She looked up at him and accepted the help, since she was not really sure she could walk by herself.
Once she was upright, he looked into her eyes seriously.
-"You sure you 'kay?"- He asked once again.
Summer smiled softly and nodded. She had to admit, she liked this Dean better.
They had to find Crowley. So they called Cas, but he could not track the demon. They went to see Samuel, but he would not say where he was because apparently Crowley had promised him to bring Mary back from the death.
They were lost, not having the slightest idea how to find Crowley when Samuel appeared at their door. Out of nowhere he told them where the demon might be, where he always took all the creatures and tortured them.
The brothers were surprised to say something, and Summer felt nothing but distrust toward the guy. She seriously doubted that his intentions were good, but since they had nothing, there was no other way. Dean and Sam went to talk with the demons, wanting to get some things straight while Summer stayed back and looked over the place where they were heading. However, her mind was somewhere else, better say, thinking on someone else.
She was tapping her fingers on the table as she looked at the computer's screen and considered the idea of calling him. After all, a phone call would not hurt anybody. Without wasting a minute and before she changed her mind, she picked up her cellphone and dialed the bar's numbers, since she did not have his number yet.
-"Hello!"- A familiar voice said on the phone.
-"Ad?"- Summer asked.
-"Sum."- He breathed out softly. -"What's wrong?"- He asked quickly, sure that her call was to ask for help or tell him that something was wrong.
-"What's wrong? What do you mean what's wrong?"- She asked confused.
-"I don't know, I just wasn't expecting you to call me, that's all."- He replied, more calm now that he was sure there was no danger around her.
-"And why's that?"- She challenged him.
-"Don't know, maybe 'cause you're too busy with your new BFF and boyfriend."-
Summer smiled despite herself. -"I'm sorry is it jealousy, what I hear in your voice Mr. Davis?"- She teased him.
Was she flirting with him? No, no she was not. She couldn't.
Adam smiled. -"You wish gorgeous."-
Summer frowned. -"Don't call me that. I hate it."-
-"Whatever. So what's up, why did you call me? Aren't you getting enough love?"- He teased her.
Summer closed her eyes and took a deep breath. He was crossing a line and it was annoying. -"You know what? I don't even know what I called you, you...smug bastard!."-
Adam chuckled. -"Aw, I love it when you get all pissed."-
His chuckle was an appealing sound that surely made any woman around, turn around to eye him. Just hearing him over the phone made a shiver ran down her spine. Summer sighed and shook her head to take all the wrong thoughts out of her mind.
-"Why have you left?"- She asked sincerely.
Adam stayed silent for a while. -"Because. I just, don't belong in your life anymore, why messed it up?"-
Summer swallowed. -"That's not true, you will always be a part of my life. You're my friend."-
He closed his eyes and smiled sadly. -"Right. Well, sorry I didn't tell you, I just don't like the Winchesters very much."-
Summer nodded, even though he could not see her. -"I understand. But I'm...I'm gonna see you again, right?"- She asked, almost afraid of him saying no.
He smirked. -"You will see me whenever you want gorgeous."-
She smiled. -"Don't call me that."- She asked him, her voice so soft that did not sound as if she was mad. -"I missed you Ad."-
He closed his eyes at her words. -"So did I. And I won't ever get tired of saying it, but you did the right thing. It wasn't your fault, alright?"-
-"When I'm back from this hunt I will pass by the bar."- She promised.
She really wanted to see him and the whole Davis' clan, but at the same time she was not sure how on earth she was going to explain this to Dean.
-"Promised?"- He asked.
-"Promise. Gotta go now, call you later Ad."-
-"Bye Sum."- He said before hanging up.
She closed her phone and left it on the table. A wide smile was pasted on her face as she stared at the device. She knew that she should not feel like this after just talking with him over the phone, but it was Adam after all. He always made her feel great, happy.
However, the smile quickly vanished as she realized that despite what she said, she was, indeed, having doubts.
So? Leave me your comments people! :) BTW, just FYI I imagine Adam as the actor Jeff Branson...if you don't know him, check him out! ;) He's cute!
