Hey everybody! I'm back now (I think) I'm sorry this update took forever but I've just been crazy busy these past two weeks with school starting and such... thanks for hanging in there with me! I tried to make the end of this chapter realistic and touch on things that Sam would think about but I'm not quite sure I completely pulled it off so hopefully you guys can let me know what you think.

And I think I may have said that this chapter was the last one but I think we only have about one or two more chapters left for this story and then I will hopefully be able to get started on the next story which I'm pretty sure is going to be called Family Matters.

Thanks again for sticking with me for so long! I hope the quality of this chapter makes up for how long it took me to write it :D And as always, I would love to hear your opinions on it so feel free to let me know what you liked and didn't like. I'll try to update soon, certainly sooner than this last one. :)


Sam was feeling more and more nervous the closer they got to Kate's house, the butterflies in his stomach moving about a mile a minute. His hands were sweating and he had them wrapped around a section of his jeans to try and keep the shaking to a minimum. He chewed his lip as he glanced at the presents that were in his lap remembering how long he had taken to finally decide on them when he and Dean had gone to the store yesterday. Even with knowing that his brother had had girlfriends before and had shopped for women before, Sam had practically taken his head off every time Dean tried to suggest something just because he had been so incredibly anxious. Please let her like them he pleaded. He didn't know what he'd do if she didn't like what he'd gotten her.

"Stop worrying so much Sam. The party's gonna be fun today, you'll see." Dean said reassuringly as he tried to calm his brother down.

Sam glanced over and saw that Dean had a relaxed smile on his face and he tried to calm himself down a bit too.

Dean could practically feel the tension rolling off his brother as Sam sat silent in the passenger seat, his gaze almost completely focused solely on his lap. He could see Kate's driveway coming up and he wanted to calm his brother down before pushing him out of the car as sending the kid into a strange house when he was full of anxiety did not sound all that appealing to Dean. Hell, he was nervous about sending Sam anywhere without him but deep down, he knew Sam needed to do this. He needed to take this step and see that other people's houses were just as safe as his own. Still though, that didn't really make dropping the kid off and then leaving him all that much easier. You drop him off every day at school and leave him to go to work Dean told himself. Yeah but that's different… Mike's there to watch him he silently rebutted. And his friends are here with him… he'll be fine Dean thought as he unconsciously slowed his speed down to try and delay the inevitable.

Sam tried to let out a breath when he saw Kate's driveway not that far ahead but it came out more as a shaky whimper.

"Sammy," Dean sighed forgetting about his own silent argument and reaching over to gently pat Sam's knee. Sam let go of the presents with one hand to squeeze his brother's hand in a vice like grip. Shit kid Dean thought when he realized just how tightly Sam had latched onto him. "You guys are going to eat junk food, hang out, sing Happy Birthday to her, and watch her open her presents and then I'll come get you." He said as he gave his brother a run through of what the day would consist of. He knew that Sam knew how parties worked but sometimes it helped if he was actually told what to expect.

Sam nodded, loosening his grip on Dean's hand a bit before pulling away all together. He began to feel a tiny bit relieved when he spotted Bobby's Mustang parked not that far down the block. At least he's already here Sam thought glad that he wouldn't be showing up to the party with Kate as the only real familiar face especially since he knew James wouldn't be showing up for a good half hour or so.

There's not too many cars here Sam thought relieved to see that the street wasn't overflowing with kids from school clambering out of their cars. He'd never really been to a 'high school' party before and was quite a bit uneasy about what to expect… the few teen movies he'd seen and the party he had attended with Dean almost a year and a half ago not really doing much to reassure him that it wasn't anything more than an excuse to get drunk and a chance to get laid. Kate's not like that and besides her parents are here he thought, he really couldn't see the girl he had a crush on tossing back bottle after bottle but then again, the majority of his attackers had looked ordinary too. Don't think about them Sam told himself knowing that if he even started down that road, Dean had better drive him back home because there was no way he'd be able to be around a bunch of new people with those thoughts and memories in his head.

Sighing and turning back to his brother as Dean parked the car on the opposite side of the street, Sam let a shaky smile appear on his face.

Dean smiled back, clapping his brother on the shoulder and giving it a gentle squeeze hoping that his touch could instill a little bit of confidence into the kid. "Have fun okay?" He said encouragingly. "And remember, if something does happen and you're not okay with it… just say so, alright? There is nothing wrong with saying you don't want to do something." Dean knew Sam still had a tendency to keep his mouth shut and go along with something even if he really didn't want to. He could usually find the courage to speak up to Dean but with pretty much anybody else, Sam still refused to share his opinion the majority of the time… Dean hoped that it wouldn't always be that way knowing that if Sam was ever going to be independent one day, then he would have to learn how to assert himself. He'll get there Dean told himself knowing now was not the time to worry about that.

Sam nodded. If he thought this was a bad idea, he wouldn't be so confident about you going so just relax Sam told himself trying to gain some courage from his big brother's faith in him. "I'll try." He replied softly.

Dean nodded back at his brother, knowing that was all he could hope for. He watched as Sam opened the passenger door and climbed out, clutching both of Kate's presents in his shaking hands. Dean gave his brother another smile and a little wave, watching as Sam made it safely across the street. He waited until he saw Sam safely enter the house before he pulled away trying to chase away his own nerves. He has to do this Dean told himself as he pressed down harder on the accelerator.

~DW/SW~

Sam felt his hands begin to shake even more and he bit his lip nervously as he walked up the small path to the front door. He rang the doorbell and waited a moment before a middle aged man answered. "Um hi…" He said feeling extremely intimidated as he realized that this man was probably Kate's dad and he prayed that the man wouldn't think too low of him. I promise I won't turn her into a street whore Sam silently told the man not knowing what the man knew about him.

"Hi, I'm David, Kate's dad… you here for the party?" Sam nodded minutely.

Sam let out a relieved breath when the man smiled at him and nodded. "I'm Sam…" He said shyly.

A flash of recognition came across the man's face causing a spark of fear to grow inside Sam's chest. Please give me a chance he begged. Much to Sam's relief, the man's smile broadened and he hitched a thumb towards the back of the house before offering to shake Sam's hand. Slowly, Sam reached out to grab it though the handshake was very brief. "Come on, Kate's in the back." The man said looking him over with appraising eyes and causing Sam to feel small even though there was nothing vicious or threatening about the man's appearance.

Sam nodded his thanks and hurried his way through the house just wanting to see someone he knew. I don't know about this he thought worriedly. As soon as he'd stepped out onto the porch, Sam was reminded of the party he and Dean had gone to not long after they had met and he prayed that the night would have a better ending than that one had.

Sam shyly raised his gaze as he stood in the doorway, trying to find the courage to walk out onto the deck where everybody else was. There was a table set up underneath a covered awning with a boom box and some CD's playing some music that Sam couldn't recognize. There were also a couple of bowls filled with different kinds of chips and salsa. Two more bowls had trail mix and M&M's in them. There was also a platter of cheese and crackers and another with vegetables and ranch dip on the table too.

Beside the table were two open coolers, one containing soda and water and the other contained beer. No, no, no Sam thought when he spotted the ice chest filled with alcoholic beverages. He was scared of what would happen if anybody did get intoxicated tonight and what that would mean for him. He hadn't had to 'perform' for anybody since his escape and he really didn't want to resume that activity ever again, let alone right there at Kate's house. Sam slipped his hand into his pocket, feeling the heavy weight of his phone against his fingers and allowed that connection with Dean to calm him a small bit knowing that as soon as his brother saw his name on his caller ID, he would come.

"Sam!" He turned his head when he heard the shout of his name and he smiled a bit when he saw Kate and Bobby making their way towards him. Finally, someone I know he thought as he walked to join them. I still can't believe I'm here he thought, wondering what it was he had done to get this invitation.

"Hey…" He drifted off shyly. "I um… these are for you." He said handing Kate the gifts he had picked out the day before with Dean's help.

"Thanks Sam, they're really beautiful." Kate blushed as she took the flowers from him and brought them up to her face to smell them holding the card in the other. "I'll be right back." She said as she hurried into the kitchen to get a vase for them.

"Oh ah, yeah, alright…" Sam muttered softly to himself, hoping that Bobby wouldn't follow Kate inside. He glanced around the yard and took in the other party guests wondering how many of them knew who he was. He was grateful that even if there were faces that he was not all that familiar with the place wasn't packed. Sam could see a group of girls sitting not too far away, seeming to be watching him very closely. Not wanting to get himself any more worked up than he already was, he turned back to his friend hoping Bobby would be able to distract him. "How long have you been here?" Sam asked trying hard to not let his voice shake too much.

Bobby shook his head. "Not long." He replied. "Come on, man, let's go get something to drink." He said leading the way towards the ice cooler. Bobby knew he was going to have to keep a very close eye on Sam today or at least until he calmed down. He and James had talked a little bit about it briefly the night before as they both wanted Sam to have a good time at this party and both were determined to make that happen.

Kate returned a few minutes later, followed by a girl Sam recognized from school and a woman who he guessed was her mom. "Ah Sam, this is my friend Claire… and this is my mom Sheryl." Kate sounded a bit nervous herself.

Sam felt himself hesitate when he heard that Kate's mom's name was Sheryl but he quickly shook it off, not wanting to lose track of where he was and disappear down a road he would rather not relive with these technical strangers present.

The girl, Claire, gave Sam a smile that seemed friendly enough but he could see the questions in her eyes and he turned away from her. Don't ask me to explain, please, not here… not… not in front of Kate he silently pleaded.

"Hi," He said shyly and not holding anyone's gaze for any length of time hoping that if he didn't look at them, they wouldn't really want to start a conversation with him.

"Hi Sam, it's very nice to meet you finally." Kate's mom smiled warmly as she stuck her hand out and Sam shook it nervously, hoping that it wasn't too sweaty.

"Thanks for letting me come." He said quietly to the woman. So you have heard about me Sam thought trying not to let the amount of anxiousness he was feeling show on his face.

Kate's mom smiled and waved Sam off. "Oh, it's our pleasure. I'm glad you could make it."

Sam nodded, unsure if the woman was just saying that to be polite or if he really was welcome at their house. He hoped it was the latter.

~DW/SW~

Dean tried to not let his stomach get too twisted with nerves as he drove away from Kate's house. He knew that this was a good thing and that his brother would have a good time but he still felt incredibly nervous about leaving the kid. Bobby and Kate are with him, he has his cell and he knows to call you if he needs to Dean tried to rationalize. He sighed knowing that unless he planned on driving back to Kate's house and either inviting himself to the party or making his brother leave, there was nothing he could do. "Please keep him safe." Dean pleaded softly as he glanced up at the sky, begging his parents to look out for Sam at the party since he couldn't.

A little while later, he pulled up outside Rachel's apartment and parked on the street. He walked up the stairs and knocked on her door. "Hey," He smiled as he walked inside hoping that he would be able to enjoy himself tonight.

"Hey," Rachel smiled back, giving Dean a hug. "Can I get you something to drink?" She asked.

"A beer would be good." He smirked a bit thinking about how long it had been since he'd had one. Knowing it was one of Sam's largest triggers; he never bought it anymore or allowed any guest they had to bring it with them when they came over. Any buzz he could have wasn't worth scaring the shit out of Sam for but with the kid away for the next couple of hours, he figured that one beer wouldn't hurt. And besides with how he was feeling right now, he thought a beer might be the only thing that would keep him calm enough to get through the night.

"One beer coming right up." Rachel walked to the fridge and took out two beers setting both on the counter while she looked for the bottle opener. "Here," She handed Dean his and then the two of them walked out to the living room where they took a seat on the couch. "So, how are you?" It had been a little while since the last time she had actually seen Dean face to face.

Dean sighed and shook his head. "Nervous." He replied after he took a swig of his beer.

"About Sam going to the party?" Rachel guessed. Dean had called her the previous evening saying he was free the next day because the kid had a birthday to go to and he had wanted to know if she'd still like to go on a second date with him. It was strange to think that this was only their second date.

Dean nodded. "I just… he doesn't do well around people he doesn't know, you know that?" Dean started.

Rachel nodded knowing how shy the teen could be. "But you said his friends were going too."

"They are but I just… he was so nervous Rach and I don't want anything to happen…" Dean sighed as his worry for his brother was obvious.

"Dean," Rachel started placing her beer on the coffee table and scooting closer to him. "He's a good kid and his friends seem like nice people, I'm sure he'll be fine. Besides, I bet he already has everybody there wrapped around his finger, they'll love him." She smiled reassuringly. "And you know this is good for him."

"I know that." Dean interrupted. "I just… it's so hard to let him go."

"Even if it's helping him?" She asked with one eyebrow raised.

Dean glanced up at her but didn't say anything.

"Dean, I know it's hard to be away from him and that you just want to keep him wrapped up in safe cocoon where no one and nothing can ever get to him again but you know that's not what he needs. You told me yourself that he needs to go out and experience things like how a normal teenager should, part of that is having to go places without his big brother…" Rachel drifted off. "I know you worry about him, I do too but you have to let him go sometimes. I mean, how is he going to learn to trust himself or his ability to decide things if he's never given those kinds of chances?"

Dean sighed before he nodded. "I know… I know you're right…" He drifted off.

"He'll be fine." Rachel reassured hoping that she was right. After everything the kid had been through, he more than deserved to finally get to be a teen. "Now, I hope you forgot your wallet because tonight is all on me."

That got a small smile out of Dean. "If you insist." He conceded. "So, since you're paying… where are we going?"

"It's a surprise." Rachel smirked and then grabbed Dean's hand, pulling him off the couch.

~DW/SW~

Sam sat quietly off to the side, listening to the group talk more than he did actually participating in the discussion. He wasn't sure his opinion would be appreciated by the newcomers in the group and he didn't want to risk looking like a fool in front of Kate.

"Excuse us, I have to borrow her for a little while." One of the girls, Claire, interrupted as she stood and grabbed Kate's hand pulling her behind her.

Sam nodded, looking surprised that Kate looked apologetic at having to leave him. It's her house, her party… why should I care if she doesn't want to talk to me? He wondered even as he watched the two of them walk to a far corner of the yard. He couldn't make out what they were saying but they both looked pretty serious about whatever it was they were discussing.

His attention was drawn away from the pair when Bobby began to talk to him. "Dude, you gotta try the dip… Kate's mom is like a frickin' god of cooking, I swear." He urged.

Sam quirked a brow at his friend's behavior.

"Seriously, best dip I've ever had." He said before he stuffed some more of it into his mouth.

Sam nodded before he hesitantly stood and walked the few feet to the table. He grabbed a napkin and a couple of chips before lightly dipping one into the white and green sauce, hoping he wasn't taking too much. He didn't want anyone here to think he was greedy or taking more than his fair share. Hunh, that is pretty good he thought, smiling a little and dipping a second chip.

"See, told you it was the best." Bobby said as he came and stood beside Sam at the table startling Sam a little.

Sam turned to face his friend, trying to make himself look as if he hadn't just been spooked. "Ah, yeah, you were right… it is pretty good." He agreed.

Sam and Bobby were standing around the table, trying the different foods that were set out on it when Kate came back up to them. "Sorry," She apologized as she glanced back at her friend. Her friend had been surprised that Sam had been invited and wanted to know what her usually pretty protective parents thought about him. Kate had told Claire that Sam was invited because he was a good friend and that she wanted him there. As for her parents, they thought he seemed like a nice kid and that was all that mattered.

Bobby swallowed down the handful of M&M's he'd just grabbed before he spoke. "Everything okay?" He asked casting her a curious look before he discreetly nodded his head in Sam's direction.

Kate nodded. "Yeah, my friend just wanted to talk to me for a few minutes."

"You um… you don't have to entertain us, ya know… if you wanna talk to her, you can." Sam said surprising Kate and Bobby with his statement.

"I wanna talk to you too." Kate replied, smiling shyly. "I like talking to you."

Sam looked around, hoping Kate's dad wasn't around… he didn't think the man would be all that pleased if he found out Kate liked him. He still blushed and nodded though, unable to really speak past the surprise he felt at hearing Kate say once again something that she liked about him.

~DW/SW~

An hour had passed and James had showed up almost half an hour ago and now the small group sat joined by some of Kate's other friends under a large tree in her backyard, talking and laughing while they ate the barbeque Kate's dad had made. Sam still hadn't said all that much but he was beginning to relax a bit and allowing himself to laugh along with the group.

"Those flowers are really pretty." Kate said softly as she came and sat beside Sam, sitting a bit closer to him than she normally did.

The close proximity between the two caused Sam to stumble over his words a bit. "Oh… ah, yeah, yeah… I'm ah… I'm glad you like 'em. Dean helped me pick 'em out…" He drifted off, hoping that he wasn't saying anything stupid.

"You guys have good taste." She smiled.

Sam blushed. "Thanks." He replied just as Kate's mom and dad walked over to the group making Sam feel like maybe he should scoot a little farther away from Kate. He was stopped when Kate reached out and lightly covered his hand with hers.

"It's okay." She reassured hoping that Sam wouldn't pull away from her.

Sam nodded, trying not to feel too overwhelmed right now and fighting the urge to grab his hand back.

"You guys ready for cake?" Kate's mom asked, smiling at her daughter.

Kate nodded making everyone else around her nod in agreement.

"Okay, we'll be right back." And then her mom and dad disappeared back inside the house. They returned a few minutes later, her dad carrying a large glass dish towards the group. He knelt down and held it out in front of Kate. "Happy Birthday Katie-girl." He smiled sweetly before everyone started to sing.

Kate blushed and smiled shyly while everyone sang and then leaned forward to blow out her candles. Claire and a few of Kate's other friends offered to help take orders and a few minutes later, everyone was satisfied, especially Bobby. "Kate, your mom is a God… let's just get that out of the way right now." He groaned. "From now on, whenever she cooks it's your job to call me and help you guys get rid of."

Kate laughed at him but silently agreed. She remembered once when her mom had had a friend of hers buy the birthday cake… it had been the most disgusting thing she had ever had and ever since then, the birthday cakes only came from her mother. It was an unspoken rule.

Sam got up to throw his plate away and when he came back, he found that all of the presents had been brought over. Oh god, please let her like it he thought nervously as he retook his seat. She loves the flowers, why wouldn't she like the other part he asked himself. He watched, smiling affectionately as Kate squealed happily with each present she opened.

"Thank you so much Taylor!" She said excitedly as she held up the poster of her favorite singer, admiring it for a moment.

"No problem," Her friend replied. "But now you know what you have to get me." She winked.

Kate laughed and shook her head. "Yeah, yeah, don't worry about it." She smiled before she took the next present her mom handed her. She glanced up when she heard Sam cough.

"Ah… this one's from me… I hope you like it." He said shyly wondering how it would compare with the poster.

Kate smiled at him and proceeded to open the envelope, wondering what was inside. There was a card which she opened first and not wanting to embarrass Sam if he'd written anything personal, she read it silently to herself.

Kate,

Thanks for inviting me to your party but even more thanks for always being a good friend. You made the year a lot more survivable. I hope you have fun today, you certainly deserve it.

Sam

Kate looked back up at Sam and smiled again, causing Sam to blush. She shook out the rest of the envelopes contents seeing that there were two free movie passes inside. Aw, Sam she internally cooed hoping that she would be able to get him to use the second pass.

"You said you liked to see new things so I figured that maybe there might be a movie coming out that you'd like to see soon." Sam rambled, his cheeks heating up more the longer he talked.

Kate nodded. "I love to go to the movies so thanks Sam, I love 'em." She said sincerely.

Sam smiled back, trying not to appear too overeager but at the same time very relieved that his gift hadn't fallen flat.

~DW/SW~

There was only about an hour left until Dean was scheduled to come pick him up. Some of the other partygoers had started to head home and Sam was a bit grateful for that. He had had a lot more fun at the party than he had originally thought he would but still, it was nice to be back to a smaller group.

"You guys wanna take a walk?" Kate asked after the conversation had lulled a little bit as they sat on the patio.

"Sure," James and Bobby said standing up and stretching.

Sam nodded and stretched but he didn't say anything as he wondered where on their walk they were going to go.

"I'll be right back." Kate smiled before she headed inside. She returned a few minutes later and then led the group through the backyard to the woods behind her house.

"Where are we going?" Bobby asked after a couple of minutes.

"There's a creek up ahead… I don't know but I think it's pretty and cool to go to." She explained. "Thanks for coming guys, I had fun today."

"Yeah no problem, it was fun." James replied.

"Um yeah… yeah, it was." Sam said shyly.

Kate glanced up at him and smiled. "Good, I'm glad you had a good time." As they made their way down the path, Kate slowly moved to closer to him until their hands were brushing. Gently, she reached out to lightly grip Sam's slightly shaking fingers in hers. "Is this okay?" She asked quietly knowing that James and Bobby were not that far up ahead of them and the last thing she wanted to do was embarrass Sam.

Sam hesitated for a moment before he nodded and gently returned her grip.

Kate smiled, glad Sam had given her permission, and the two continued to walk through the wooded area in peaceful silence.

Wow Sam thought as he felt the solid weight of Kate's hand resting in his. He wasn't quite sure what to think about it and he hoped that he wouldn't ruin it by squeezing her hand too tightly if he got nervous or something. She might actually like me he thought as he remembered how much she had liked the flowers and the movie tickets he had gotten her to the friendly conversations that they had all day to the fact that she had initiated wanting to hold his hand. He didn't know where the rest of the day was going to go but one thing he was currently aware of was that he really didn't mind this and actually found it to be quite reassuring. Knowing he was starting to think too much, Sam shut his mind off and just took in the peaceful scenery around him.

A little while later, the four of them arrived at the creek. Sam found that while he probably wouldn't call it pretty, it was an interesting little place. There were rock beds on either side of the crystal clear water and Bobby and he rolled up their jeans as they walked across it. He and Kate climbed their way to some piled up rocks and sat on them, their feet dangling over the edge. A mama duck swam out into the water followed by her ducklings causing small ripples across the water.

"They're so cute and little, I love to watch them." Kate said as she pointed the ducks out to Sam.

Sam smiled a little. "Yeah, I guess they are pretty cute hunh?"

"Hey ah, we're gonna go walk that way." James said pointing downstream standing a few feet away from the rocks on a dirt path that wound around the entirety of the bank.

"Sure." Kate replied watching as James and Bobby took off. She thought that maybe somehow the two of them knew that it might be a good idea to let Sam and her be alone for a few minutes.

"It is cool here." Sam said trying not to freak out at the fact that now he was actually alone with Kate. What am I expected to do he wondered before he remembered Dean telling him to have fun but not to be afraid to speak up if something didn't feel right. He glanced over at the girl sitting beside him and took a deep breath since nothing bad had happened yet today, he was hoping it would stay like that.

"It is, isn't it?" Kate agreed.

"It reminds me of where Dean and I went camping only there's no deer here." He added as his gaze drifted from the ducks to look around.

Kate laughed. "There's plenty of deer here… they just get spooked easily."

Sam nodded knowing what that felt like. "Thanks again for inviting me today… I'm um… I'm glad I came."

Kate smiled and scooted a little closer to Sam. "I'm glad you could come." She glanced up at him, her smile broadening when he looked back at her.

"Me too…" Sam said quietly, his heartbeat picking up when he realized just how close they were to each other.

Kate blushed as they continued to look at each other, neither completely sure what was going to happen next. Then, Kate leaned up and gave Sam a soft peck on the cheek.

Sam felt his breath hitch and his eyes widened when he felt the soft touch of Kate's lips against his cheek. It was so gentle and so completely opposite of what he was used to that it shocked him. There wasn't any roughness to it or any cruel intentions that were laughing as he struggled to get away but instead, just the solid and warm presence next to him… the same presence who had asked him if it was okay to hold his hand instead of just doing it. Sam swallowed thickly before he turned his head a little.

"What was that for?" He asked quietly and still a bit shocked that Kate had done that… had kissed him. He couldn't believe that she would want to, that she could know about the things he'd done and want to be that close to him.

Kate shrugged self-consciously. "Because I like you." She smiled before she got a worried look on her face. "Is that… I mean, that was okay right? You don't mind?"

Sam shook his head because yeah, the thought of being intimate with someone was scary but that peck had been so gentle that he honestly hadn't minded it. "No, it… it was fine." I liked it He thought to himself feeling surprised that he had liked it. After having been forced to be with multiple partners just so Frank could make a little cash, he hadn't ever thought he'd really enjoy any form of intimate contact ever again but with Kate, it had been different. She's different he thought as he studied her for a moment and took in her warm smile and caring eyes. Taking both himself and Kate by surprise, Sam leaned forward closer to Kate but not closing the gap between them entirely.

Kate was a bit surprised when Sam leaned forward to re-initiate the kiss but she leaned forward too and closed the gap between them. Originally, Sam had had the urge to pull back when he felt Kate kiss him again, this time on the lips but instead, he stayed where he was and finally let himself enjoy being with someone. The kiss was quick and nothing heavy, just sweet and gentle but even still Sam felt a bit lightheaded when he pulled back, his cheeks tinged red. He wasn't sure what to say now that he had actually kissed her and he hoped that he hadn't taken it too far. I guess not he thought feeling relieved when Kate smiled up at him, her cheeks tinged red too as she laid her head on his shoulder suddenly grateful beyond words that Dean had convinced him to go to the party.


Hey! So, how was that, especially the end? Did it work? I can't wait to hear from you guys but either way, I hope you enjoyed it! I'll try to update soon. :)
