Chapter 26: Denialized

Lexie rubbed at her puffy eyes as she walked through that trailer to the kitchen. It had been a couple days since she broke up with Dean and it's been hell without him. Her brother kept asking if she was okay and she nodded saying she was fine. She wasn't fine. She was far from it.

Her phone kept buzzing on the table. "Are you going answer him?" A voice broke her thoughts. She looked away from the fridge and over at FP.

She just simply just shrugged her shoulders. "Nope." She sipped at her coffee. "He didn't tell me that he made a deal with a demon and now he's going to hell!" Her brother just shrugged, slightly rolling his eyes.

Last week she left Riverdale and now she's back. Alice kept asking if she was okay. What was she supposed to say? No, Alice, my boyfriend or ex- boyfriend Dean is going to hell! She couldn't. Nobody would believe her. She went to class and Dr. Myles also wouldn't get off her case. He pulled out of the lesson and asked if she was okay.

She bit her lips and lied." Yeah just tired." He gave her a Skeptical look before backing off.

He had his hands on his hips." Why don't you take a break, Ms. Jones." She nodded before grabbing her bag and left the classroom.

She went straight to the Wyrm. Her hands shook as she downed the glass. Hogeye began to turn her down and was about to call her brother. She glared at the older man when he took the shot glass out of her hands. "Fuck off, Hogeye!" She sneered angrily.

Hogeye continued listening to her arguing with him. At this point he wonders if Dean would be a good option. FP had told him that she broke up with for a reason. But from what he has seen was that she needs him. Although she refuses to admit it. She does need him.

"Trouble, I'll call him."

Alexandra hardened her eyes." You won't! He's dead to me! He lied to me and I never want to see him again!" She knows it's a lie.

Everything she said was a lie. She loves him but she won't allow herself to condemn to that. Her phone kept buzzing yet again. This time she listened to voicemail.

"Alex—-sorry Lexie. Uh… I just wanted to let you know that Lilith attacked the prison last night. I know you never want to speak to me again. I guess… that's fine. I just want to say that… I never meant for you to find out that way. I made that deal to save Sam a year ago. I got three and half months. Probably less than that by time you hear again.

Alex…. please just shoot me a text. I need to know if you're alright, okay? Or contact Sam instead. He'll have FP call us. I guess this is a goodbye. If you do want to talk, you know my number. Goodbye Alex."

She listened to his message over and over again until she got home. The words felt like a slice to her heart. He guilted her with 'I only have a few months' rerun.

A few weeks later, her laptop dinged. She moved across the room and checked the work laptop. Alice came into the room carrying three medium sized boxes. She looked over to see Lexie staring at the screen. She decided to take what was going on. "Whoa…"

Lexie quickly snapped the laptop shut. "Hey!" Alice giggles. "I never thought Trouble would watch porn." Lexie's cheeks blushed and her face falls with shame.

"I-i was not watching porn!" She exclaimed, clearly offended. Alice gave her a look. "Fine! I was but it was for a friend."

Alice wrinkled her brow." A "friend" I see."

"It was for a friend! No quotations!"

Alice shook her head and started laughing. "Okay, okay! A friend!"

Lexie flicked some cherries at Alice and laughed when it nearly hit her in the ass crack. Alice turned around quickly, facing Lexie with a shocked expression. "Oops." She said innocently.

Another week passed. The calls stopped coming from Dean. FP stopped asking if she'd call him back. Knowing Lexie; she would stay in denial as long as humanly possible. Fred invited her over.

"Freddie…" She whispered. Her voice was strained from the lack of oxygen. "Lexie, you miss Dean. Just admit already." She looked at him shocked eyes.

"He's dying, Freddie…"

Fred rolled his eyes." So…"

Lexie hopped off his desk and onto the ground with two feet. "So, that means he'll die, Fred."

Fred looked her in the eyes and placed his hands on her shoulder before he gave a gentle squeeze. "Lex, if I was able to spend more time with my dad. I would've. Even if it was only a few months."

She knew he was right. But she also was stubborn." I know but that doesn't mean a thing. He lied to me, Fred. He never told me he was dying. H-how could he not say anything? He had plenty of chances!"

Fred wrapped his arms around her and let her cry." I don't know, Lex. Maybe he was afraid…"

"And I'm not afraid!" She exclaimed loudly. "I'm always watching my back! Even before I knew about the Supernatural life! I always had to watch my back. From my father, Southside and now this!"

She stayed in his comforting arms until she was ready. She ate dinner at the trailer for the first time in four days. Jughead kept an eye on her. He read up on Demon deals over the last few weeks and the outcome wasn't good.

A month passed by. Dean still hadn't said a word. Lexie focused on school, work and family. She passed her CPR test and was now CPR certified. Her brother served her coffee that morning like no other day. Alice held a celebration for lunch.

"I'm here—-" Alice stopped speaking when she laid eyes on the man in front of her. She hadn't seen him for ages. She was stunned by who she'd seen.

"Alice..." He breathed, in shock.

She couldn't believe it. It had been years. What was he doing in Riverdale? How did he find her?

"Dean…"

Dean had come to see Lexie. He hadn't heard from her in almost two months. He only had two months left until he went to hell. He hadn't expected to see Alice Winchester.

The two stared at each other motionless. "Al, have you seen—" The voice stopped and a gasp. "Dean, what are you doing here?"

Dean blinked shortly before opening his mouth. "Alex.., oh god, you have no idea how worried I've been.."

Alice's eyes widened." Wait…. Lexie this is your Dean…" She gasped with shocked filled eyes.

Lexie rolled her eyes and huffed. "Was." She corrected." Before he lied to me!"

Dean's stomach rolled. Guilt sunk in deep. He shouldn't have lied. He should've came clean about everything. "Alex… I'm so sorry. If I told you. Maybe you wouldn't have been so hurt."

Alice glanced at Dean." What is she talking about?" Dean sighed." I made a deal." Her eyes bugged out and her heart rate sped up.

"A-a demon deal?" She stuttered in disbelief.

Lexie looked strangely at Dean and Alice. Since when did Alice know about demon deals? She just fount about them a month ago.

"Yes." He nodded.

Lexie stepped forward. "What's going on here?"

Alice gulped nervously before eyeing Dean and then looked over at Lexie. Lexie had noticed the exchange. Did they date? Ew! Great, she loves her best friends ex!

"Lex, this my younger brother, Dean Winchester."

We're you expecting that? Probably not. I'll get into the backstory more. Don't worry.
