Chapter 22: In the Hospital

Chloe flurted her eyes open to find herself laying in a hospital bed. She narrowed her eyes in confusion but widen them when she remembered what happened in the woods. The demon had its hand around Dean's neck and that was the last thing she saw before total darkness. Everything happened so fast. She rubbed her head to find a gauze wrapped around her head. She narrow her eyes with the feeling of pain traveled through her head, some of it even traveled down her neck. The pain also made her feel the pain in her shoulders and she looked down to see her right shoulder wrapped and in a splint. She let out a groan and close her eyes.

"Pain getting to you, huh," said Dean from the doorway. Chloe open up her eyes and smile.

"Yeah." Dean walked close to the bed and looked her down. "Where's Sam?"

Dean concentrated back to her face and smiled. "He went to go get some coffee, he should be back any minute."

"Oh."

There was silence in the room. Chloe looked away and around the room, trying to think of what to say next.

"You know this wouldn't of happened if you just stayed at the motel like we told you too." Snapping out of her thoughts, Chloe frowned looking up to Dean.

"What."

"I knew this would of happened but no Sam insist on trusting you and I had to because that's what he wanted," Dean scoffed.

"So what you're saying, you only trusted me because of Sam," Chloe looked. Dean didn't say anything. "Oh my God. What about two night ago, what was that? Your way of getting information from me or getting Sam for hasling you."

"Hey, anything to make Sam happy," he smiled. "Besides if I didn't tell you anything, you wouldn't let me leave."

"I can't believe you."

Once again there was silence. I can't believe the nerve of this guy, Chloe thought to herself. How could he... he's so, so...stubborn. The last word she said to herself seem to slipped out of her mouth and Dean turned to face her. He had a frown on his face in mixed confusion and anger. He was about to say something when a nurse came in.

"I see you're awake, how are you feeling," she asked.

"I feel fine beside the headache. And it keep getting worst because of him," Chloe pointed at her accuse. The nurse looked at the young man and smiled.

"I'll see what I can do for your headaches but as for you two love birds, that something you two need to work out on your own," she said leaving the room with a smile. Chloe looked away from the door to face Dean. He was looking at her as she turned.

"What does she mean by love birds?"

Dean let out a sigh before answering. "Once we brought you here to the hospital, we didn't know if you wanted them to know that you're an intern working at the Daily Planet from Kansas. So, we told them that your name was Chloe Martin, my girlfriend." Chloe couldn't do anything but smile.

"Who thought of that?"

" It was Sam's idea," he said walking around the bed. "But I had to tell them that you wasn't much of a nature person and you tripped down a hill," he smiled at her.

Chloe's smile grew bigger at the thought of them making up a lie to protect her, or themselves; whatever. Chloe looked back at Dean who was sneaking a look through her file on the clipboard hanging on the bed. He laid it back down when he noticed her staring at him.

"What,"

"Dean, why don't you trust me? I have been nothing but patient with you, but I get the feeling that you don't want to trust me. Why?"

"Why do you asks so much questions?"

"Dean please, I just want to know."

Dean stared at Chloe for a while until the nurse walked back in. She was holding a cup with pills and a cup of water in each hands as she walked toward Chloe.

"Here you go. You guys worked out your little problem," she asked looking at the two.

Chloe looked to Dean who was now looking at the floor. He scratched the back of his head and sigh. "Where's Sam with those coffees," he said looking at the door. "I better go and see what's keeping him."

Dean walked out of the room and leaned against the wall. He closed his eyes for a second before heading down to the lobby. When he got there, Sam was walking toward him.

"Dude what was taking you so long?"

"Sorry but it was this big rush coming in and I kind of spilled it. As you can see, some spilled on me," Sam spread his arms out to show the spill coffee stain. Lowering his arms, he looked back at Dean. "How's Chloe, is she awake?"

"Yeah and as her usual self."

"Did the doctor say anything about her getting out?"

"No, he hadn't showed up yet, but I'm sure she's fine."

As if on cue a doctor walked up to them. He looked down at his clipboard as he talked.

"Mr. Lawerence," the doctor said looking up from his clipboard. "Ms. Martin is going to be fine. I think it's safe if we keep her here with us for tonight because of her loss of consciousness when she hit the tree. As for her shoulder, we popped it back in and all she needs for that are some pain killers and that's it. So no need to worry, your girlfriend is okay."

Sam and Dean nod in understanding.

"Okay well if there's any questions you have just call me or the nurse and we'll be happy to answer them for you."

"Yeah I have a question," Dean said. "Is there anything in her report that mention amnes..."

Sam elbowed Dean in the side and Dean groan at the pain. The doctor just stared at them and noded his head.

"Thank you doctor," Sam quickly said. The doctor left and Sam gave Dean a "what was you doing" kind of look.

"What, I was just messing with him."

"Well don't," Sam said walking away.

"Come on Sammy."

"So I have to stay here in the hospital," Chloe asked Sam, who was in front of her.

"It's what the doctor ordered," Dean said from across the room sitting in a chair. He was looking through a magazine at the time.

"It's just for the night. Tomorrow we'll come and pick you up and bring you back to the motel."

"I guess I can stay over night," Chloe rolled her eyes. Sam smiled at her and shook his head. "What are you guys going to do about the fear demon. It has eleven now, at least what we know of, and the month is almost over with in two more days. If it's going to strike again, those days would be it."

"I guess we keep looking then," Dean said getting up from his chair. "We were caught off guard this time but the next time we won't."

"Yeah but you saw this thing, it was human at the beginning and then demon the next. How are we suppose to find this thing if it can change into people?"

"Just leave it to us. We know what we're doing."

"I know but..."

"Chloe, you should get your rest. We'll see you tomorrow okay," Sam said, interrupting their conversation.

Chloe nodded and smiled. A sad expression formed on her face. Sam and Dean walked to the door after waving goodbye to Chloe and headed out. It was a silent walk to the car until they were in it.

"You know she's right you know," Sam said looking at his brother.

"Yeah what else is new," Dean said as he start up the car and pulled out the lot.

Chloe was laying in her bed looking around. You always manage to put yourself in the hospital don't you Chloe, she thought to herself. They probably think you're some kind of show off now. "Why did I have to say I can handle myself," Chloe said to herself. You can... just not around cute guys, her thoughts answered for herself. Chloe couldn't do nothing but laugh at herself. "They are cute, but they are so..." Her thoughts interrupted her with the picture of them when they were younger. Then of them now. Think of what they been through Chloe, she thought. They lost their mom at a young age and had to cope with their dad and people who looked at them strangely. People who think that their father was the one who killed their mom, and thought that their father was going to turn them crazy with him. They are so young to have this weight on them. To save people from evil and look for their mom's killer. It makes you wonder did they ever had a chance of normality. Well, Sam had but what about Dean? He devoted his life to hunting the unusual, looking up to his father, and protecting his brother. You can't but understand why he can't trust people as easily like his brother. I hope I can change that, or at least he'll find a way to accept me. Chloe felt her eyes dripping close and pushed her thoughts aside so she could sleep. She could think about them tomorrow but right now she needed sleep.
