Chapter 6: "Bite An Sour Apple, Will Ya"
Dean awakes in a bed. He wasn't sure where he was. All he knows that he's still in pain from last night. He remembers Lexie and her saving his ass from Bela but afterwards he can't remember. He looked around the room and spots Lexie.
"Your brother left you several messges." Her voice echoes through his ears. Her angelic voice made him feel warm inside. He normally doesn't feel warm. He always feels cold, unwanted and of course damaged. You can't forget damaged.
"Oh shit..." He quickly gets out of bed, making a single-lined dash for his phone on the counter top. His ears ring loudly as he listens to his little brother's panic filled tone in his voice.
He decide it was time for him to leave. His brother was very worried and maybe he to death. Lexie sighs as she watches him gather his stuff.
"Leaving already?" Her question jerks him away from his thoughts. He slowly shifted, staring at her with his greens and then smiled.
"Yeah... my brother he's freaked and probably thinks I'm dead." He says carefully, trying not to make it seem like an excuse.
Lexie won't admit this out loud but she was actually sad that he had to leave. Though she also completely understood that he couldn't keep his brother in worry. She knew her brother would be upset too if she wasn't answering her phone either.
"It's okay. I'll be alright. My boss's probably gonna call me any moment." She said, slightly annoyed by the fact Alice was going to hound her over this until she dug the truth out of her somehow.
Dean looked at her one last time for heading for the direction of the door. He waves her goodbye and she does the same. He sighs as he finally sits in his baby and dials Sam. His phone didn't have much battery left, so he better make it a quick call.
Like clock work his brother picks up. At first it seemed like Sam didn't believe it was him. But after several questions he's finally able to convince him that he's the real deal.
"Dean?" He whispers, almost like a hush." Is that really you?" Dean almost groans at him but he keeps his mouth shut.
"Yes it is."
His brother huff," How do I know this really you?"
Dean rolled his eyes," I'm in baby right now. Where you at Sammy?" He heard Sammy's growl and laughs.
"You could be a shapeshifter."
"I promise you, Sammy. I'm no shapeshifter." He chuckled.
"That's exactly what a shifter would say." Sam holds his ground. Dean couldn't be any prouder but at that moment he wanted to punch him.
"Bela Talbot tried fucking kill me and rape me, S-Sammy..." The cockiness now hidden and his emotions were showing.
There was a long pause." Dean oh god!" Sam's voice echoes through Dean's ears. "Are you okay? Where's the bitch?!" He growled. Dean could hear him huffing.
He paused," Actually I'm good. This girl saved my ass and now I'm looking for you."
"I'm at the local Sheriff station." Dean heard the instructions and pulled his parking brake and drove off.

At four P.M., Lexie's head jerks up when she hears keys jingle. She slightly sat up on the sofa. She looked around with an eye half-open and sighed. She had gotten back from the Five Seasons an hour ago. Her time she spent with Dean was different. She hadn't been with a guy in over six-months.
Her last one-night stand didn't quite work out as planned. Joe Cain broke her heart. At first things weren't like a normal one-night stand. He was sweet and she thought she could trust him. Later she was quick to realize that he was just using her for sex until his cheating girlfriend came back to him. Of course she was completely broken over him and shut down after he did something like that to her. Later she didn't give a fuck about him. She deleted his number, blocked him on Snapchat and occasion she would catch him liking her posts on Instagram.
Now that it had been six-months since then, she could give a flying fuck about that bastard. She didn't care bother looking up his recent girls or the fact his ex-girlfriend he's now back with. She focused her time on family, her studies and well now maybe the new green-eyed man strolling around her beloved town.
"Lex!" She groaned. She knew that voice from anywhere. And just as she already knew her brother came into her view. "You actually showed up for dinner." Her brother stated as he set down a brown- paper bag filled with tonight's dinner.
"So... what! I have a life and a job!" She growled, lifting herself off the sofa and over to her annoying brother.
FP looked down at the table and grabbed a few items from the bag. He was just surprised that his sister was actually home for dinner. Lastly she'd been working late, at her school and most recently being a tour guide for this stranger that just came to their town.
"Nothing." He sighed. He felt her eyes on him and slowly drifted his eyes over to his sister. "I was just saying with work and all I never see you." Lexie stopped what she was doing and eyed him with soft eyes.
"FP... isn't not that I don't want to see you. I work, you got Jug and Jellybean—" She was cut off by someone clearing their throat.
"It's JB now, Aunt Lexia!" Her and FP's eyes quickly shift over to the front door, where Jellybean stood with crossed arms over her chest and a frown.
Lexie being the caring aunt she is, swiftly breaks away from putting food away and pours her attention to her adoring niece. JB rolled her eyes while her aunt hugs her to death. She could've sworn she'd stopped breathing for a second. FP just laughs his head off as she struggles to break loose.
"Oh Baby JB! I've missed ya so freakin' much kiddo!" Lexie exclaims, pulling tighter on her niece's body.
"I'm not a baby!" JB whined, Lexie just starts attacking her with kisses to her forehead. "Auntie stop!" Lexie didn't stop. She hadn't seen Jellybean in over two years. And that had been way too long.
"No!" She teases, JB squirms in her arms."Its been two years!" FP's smile doesn't flounder. He's enjoying that his family is almost back together.
"Who's fault is that?!" Jellybean sneered.
Lexie stopped tickling, then looked at her niece with her mouth gapped open. Jellybean wore an evil glare and broke out of her aunt's grip. Lexie noted the way her brother's face darkened and felt his heart tear just a tad.
"Jellybean!" She scolded as her eyes filled with shock. She'd never seen or heard her act like this ever. "That's not how—"
"Oh don't have a cow! Dad hasn't been in my life for two freakin' years and you think I'm supposed to forgive just like that!" Jellybean harshly interrupted by snapping her fingers and then stormed off.
She watched as the door slammed behind and she couldn't believe what just happened. "FP, I'm—" Again She was cut off by someone else.
"It's okay, Lex." Her brother sighed heavily," She has the right. I haven't been exactly there for her."
She could hear the weariness in the room as she stepped closer. "No it's not okay!" She loudly exclaimed. Her brother's features slowly grew concerned. She felt the burn rage in her chest.
"Lexie, shh she doesn't know." FP calmly shushed as he pulled her closer. Lexie slapped his hands away from her and gritted her teeth tightly together.
"No! I'm not going to let this slide! She's lucky to have a father like you! You never hit her, slapped or broke her bones!" Her teeth clenched painfully against her tongue.
She started to taste to iron in her mouth from the blood. She couldn't believe her twelve-year-old niece was taking her father forgranted. When she was her age. Her father beat her all the time. It didn't matter what she did or didn't do. She would leave with bruises and sprained wrists after wrists. She hid the scars and bruises with heavily caked makeup at an age where kids shouldn't be wearing makeup.
"Lexie..." Her brother's voice whispers into her ears. "I know... I know. But she can be mad if she wants." Lexie didn't agree with that but she just nodded as tears rolled.
"Okay..." She barely mumbled, pressing her face into her brother's protective chest. She began to weep as her brother's hands held her head.

When Dean arrived at the Sheriff station it was almost sun-down. His brother was standing by the front door as soon as he opened the door to Baby. Sam greeted Dean with a hug before guiding his older brother inside. Dean's eyes wander the area, scanning the records before he follows his brother down the hall where he finds their victim.
His shoulder needed to be popped back into its socket but before that could be done. He had to answer some questions first. Dean clears his throat before approaching the man in front of him.
"So..." The man looked at him and he could see the fear in his eyes that he was trying to conceal. "Did you notice anything strange?" He questions, Sam nudged in the ribcage.
The man slowly opens his mouth and speaks." Tom Keller is my name, Agent..." Tom pauses as he looked at the agent's badge.
"Mercury. Agent Mercury."Agent Mercury says as he shows him the laminated badge.
He sighs as he hands the agent his badge back and looks around the room to make sure he was alone. Once he noticed that he was alone he signled the other agent to close the door. Sam closes the door behind them and waits for Tom to explain what happened.
"Well, Agent Mercury and Agent Dane, it's going to sound unnatural what I'm about to say..." Tom's voice trials off as he shifted his feet.
Sam cleared his throat," Whatever you saw. We can help." He assured the victim as he used calm gestures.
"I can't believe I'm about to say this. He's dead. It can't be him." Both brothers noticed the tone in his voice as he spoke. He sounded like he thought he was going insane and that poor man was about to learn he might not be as crazy as he think he sounds.
"What did you see?" Dean broke in as he kept his time professional and to the point.
A shiver rolls down Tom's spine." Jason Blossom." He couldn't believe he actually said the name.
Dean and Sam leaned forward and studied the man's features. He looked harrowed, almost like he was about to vomit. "Excuse me." Dean stated, looking at the man.
" I know I sound crazy! Lock me up at the Sisters of Quiet Mercy!" Tom exasperated." I must be losing my marbles."
"No, no. It's okay." Sam's voice became gentle and tried to level with the poor Sheriff. "We believe you, trust me we do."
After discussing about the possibility that Jason Blossom must be back from the dead. Dean clued in that the horrid death of the Seventeen-year-old only happened last July. His death rocked the town. His blood boiled at the fact Jason's father killed him and at such a young age. He also learned that his girlfriend Polly Cooper was pregnant at the time of his death. His heart broke for the poor teen. He couldn't imagine what it was like to be in that situation without the father's help.
"Dad?" He heard a kid shout." I heard about what happened." The door swung open, revealing a blond-haired boy, with wide eyes.
"Kevin, I'm okay. I was called to Fox forest and got ambushed that's all, Kev." Dean was quick to realize that Tom was a father. So Tom was called or mostly tricked to go to the forest and then attacked.
Kevin looked up and noticed that his dad wasn't alone."I'm Kevin Keller, the gay son of Sheriff Keller. Who are you two?" He directed his questions to the two men.
Dean quickly flashes his badge," Agent Mercury and my partner here, Agent Dane." Kevin nodded his head and dismissed the protectiveness and shakes the two men's hands.
"Oh... well it's my pleasure to meet you fine fellas." Sam smiled, kindly at the young teen.
"Well.. thank you, kid."
Dean interrupted shortly after that," We better get going. Me and my partner must go now. It was nice to meet you." Tom and his son waved and Dean closed the door behind him.
He waited for his brother to follow before he heads over to Baby. Sam settled in the passenger seat and Dean twisted the keys into the ignition. Then he turns the dial on the stereo and blasts zeppelin through the speakers. He starts rocking out and pretended to strum his imaginary guitar. But his jam session was abruptly ruined. He stared at his brother and halted.
"Dude! I was jamming!" He scowled, Sam rolled his eyes and huffs.
He ignored his brother's protest and cleared his throat. "So vengeful Spirt?" Dean turned around the corner and over to the next road.
"Yes and you get on the research, Sammy." He uttered as he pulled into the motel parking lot and parked Baby.
He watched as Sam's face grew irritated. He loved teasing his geeky little brother. He stepped out of Baby and strutted away to the motel.
"It's Sam." His brother corrected, while he scoffed as he rolled his eyes.
Dean sat at the table, unscrewing a bottle and sucking the contains dry. "Whatever you say, Sammy."
