Chapter 25 : True Feelings.
Lauren's P.O.V.
FINALLY! After countless hours of ear splitting music we had arrived at The Roadhouse; Dean pulled up next to Katie's car and then turned the engine off, he took the keys out of the ignition and slipped them into his coat pocket. I opened the car door and climbed out but Dean stayed where he was.
"Are you coming?" I asked sticking my head back in the car.
"In a minute, I'm getting myself ready." I just rolled my eyes and walked round to the trunk.
"Well can you do it out here I want to get my stuff out the back." After a few seconds Dean got out the car and walked over to me, he popped the trunk and we proceeded getting our bags out; once we had I slammed it back down again.
"Hey! Be gently with her." He said running a hand along the roof.
"Do you want me to go?" I said whiling walked backwards towards the bar, Dean let out a loud laugh before jogging over to me.
"You sound just like Sam."
"And you sound like you're about to do your car up the exhaust pipe." He rolled his eyes and we continued walking.
"You're one sick puppy." I just laughed before climbing the stairs and walking over to the door, I quickly turned round so I was now facing Dean.
"So what's the story?"
"There is no story…Ellen just doesn't like me very much." I could tell he was keeping something from me but decided not to push it; I turned back and got ready to go inside.
"I wonder why." I glanced over my shoulder and saw Dean smiling; I pushed open The Roadhouse door and the two of us walked in. Having a quick look around I spotted Sam and Ash in the back working on a laptop, there were two men sat at the bar my guess is their hunters and Jo and Ellen were behind the bar. Good why does she have to be here? When we were younger Jo and I never really got on and we still don't.
Dean walked past me and made is way over to where Sam and Ash were sat; I had another look round but couldn't see Katie anywhere. I walked over and took a seat at the bar; Ellen was talking to one of the men so that left Jo. She placed a glass down in front of me and then quickly looked over my shoulder at Dean; don't make it to obvious.
"Beer?" She asked tearing her eyes away from him; I slipped the bag off my shoulder and onto the floor then crossed my arms over my chest resting my elbows on the bar.
"Vodka…neat." Jo replaced the glass she had put down earlier with a smaller one and then poured a small amount of vodka into it; I picked up the glass and knocked it back in one. "Another one." She poured more into the glass and then put the bottle back on the shelf; good job I didn't want another one after this. I drank that one just as fast as the first and then pushed the glass back to her. "So where is she?"
"Last I heard she went out back to work out." I gave a small nod and started to get up but then Jo started talking. "So…how did you find it working with them?"
"It was about as enjoyable as taking a bath in acid." I said giving her a fake smile; it may have been subtly but I saw her looking over at Dean again and it made a smirk appear on my face. "You might want to close your mouth, drawl is getting everywhere." Jo's quickly looked away and got back to cleaning glasses. I stood up and pushed the stool back under the bar. "I'm going to get Katie." I picked up my bag from the floor before Jo gave a quick nod and got back to work. Ellen looked over her shoulder and spotted me, I gave her a small smile which she returned and then started walking to the door that lead out back, but someone got in my way.
"Hey there gorgeous."
"Move Ash." I tried walking round him but he just moved and blocked that path too; I don't know why he has this thing for me Katie's the smart one shouldn't her like her? "Get out the way!" I said a little louder, this time he did move and I took that opportunity to get past and pushed open the door.
"She wants me." I heard him say to Sam and Dean before the door closed.
I walked down the hallway and stopped once I reached the room Katie and I always use when we stay here. I pushed open the door and found Katie sat on her bed throwing knifes at the dart board that was located on the wall next to me; just as I was about to speak she threw one hitting the bull's-eye.
"Nice shot." Katie didn't seem to acknowledge my presence in the room and continued throwing the knifes in silence. I walked cautiously over to my bed placing the bag I had down at the foot of it, before taking a seat myself. "Anything interesting happen while I was gone?"
"Nope." Katie replied throwing another knife. Something must be bugging her because she rarely ever gets like this; I would have thought sending some alone time with Sam would have made her happy but it seems to have done the opposite.
"Is everything okay?"
"Everything is fine." She replied sharply. Obliviously that's a lie because she sounds like she is one question away from ripping my head off; I will probably regret this but it needs to be asked.
"Has something happened between you and Sam?" The knife Katie had just released missed the dart board completely and embedded itself in the wall; she let out a frustrated sigh and got up from the bed.
"No." Katie pulled the knife from the wall and then went over to reclaim the other 3 from the board.
"Kate tell me what's wrong? ……the last time you acted like this was when mum died." As soon as I mentioned mum Katie's body stiffened. For months after mum passed Katie was like a different person; she was snappy and rude to everyone, she was reckless on jobs and she went out ALONE and killed demons and spirits for the fun of it. It took me getting shot to bring her back to her senses.
"I can't do this anymore." She said quietly. I stood up and walked over to her, placing my hands on her shoulders a turned he round to face me; Katie's eyes where filling with tear and my heart was aching. "I can't keep pretending."
"What are you talking about?" I asked looking straight into her watery green eyes.
"This job!" Katie pulled herself out of my grip and began pacing the room. "I'm not cut out for it…but you on the other hand are made to do it 'kill whatever gets in the way and never let it affect you' that your motto." She spun around and looked straight at me. "I can't do that anymore; I've seen too many horrible things happen to innocent people. I thought once the demons dead everything will be fine; we can have normal lives, normal jobs but that is never going to happen because that one man that could do it is DEAD!" I can't believe she has never said anything to me about the way she feels.
"John Winchester maybe dead but we have Sam and Dean helping us now." I walked right up to Katie stopping her pacing. "We're not alone anymore." Tears were cascading down her face now and I don't know what to do to make them stop; I did the only thing I could think of and pulled my weeping sister into my arms. "Everything is going to be fine…we just need to keep strong for a little longer okay?" I felt Katie nod into my shoulder before she pulled back.
"I'm sorry." I gave my little sister a big smile to show that everything would be fine.
"Don't be, we all have off days when we think to ourselves 'is this really worth it?' Next time don't keep it bottled up inside come and tell me…god knows a moan enough to you." Katie let out a small laugh and that made me feel better knowing she was going to be alright. I pulled a tissue out of my pocket and wipe off what was left of Katie makeup. "You might what to think about buying waterproof mascara." I threw the tissue into the bin by the desk and then turn back to Katie. "You good?" She wiped her face again before giving me her best smile.
"Yep."
"Well then let's go and see what those boys are up to." We exited the room and proceeded to make our way back out to the bar.
Katie's little outburst made me realize that I don't know anything about her anymore. When we were younger we told each other everything but that seems to have changed because I always thought that she liked the job…but I guess I was wrong. Being the eldest I want what's best for her; I want her to go to college, get married, have a baby but that is probably never going to happen however much I what it to…at least not until the son of a bitch that killed our father is burning in hell where it belongs.
But with Sam and Dean helping the job just got a lot easy and at lot more interesting.
Sorry for the wait...hope it's worth it :) Thanks for all the great reviews keep them coming.
