A/N: Unfortunately, it's back to the short chapters now... but hey, be happy I fixed my computer! Or you'd have to wait even longer:) This chapter was written before "Dead Man's Blood" aired- (SPOILER if you haven't seen that ep yet- it's the Vampire one) so it mentions how Sam and Dean can't see their dad. I know they're with him now, but just pretend something else happened that made them split up again, okay? ...That's what made it so easy to write Charmed fanfics, the continuity never mattered on that show. lol.

Mediatorsk: A crush? What would make you say that? lol. Really, who doesn't :D

VisionGurl: You'll see...

LozzaBaby: "MORE, MORE, MORE" eh? Glad to see you're so enthusiastic about it!

actress19: Yeah, I agree... although, it's hard to write Dean from such a different perspective (I missed "Route 666"- the Cassie episode). I hope he's not out of character!

EmSyd: I've got so many new reviewers! Thanks for yours! Were you guys all waiting for Dean and Angie to kiss before you said something? lol.

CHAPTER SIXTEEN – NO CHANCE?

Dean opened his eyes and looked around. He squinted at the light flooding through the window across the room, as his eyes hadn't adjusted yet. He got out of the bed and turned around. There was Angela, still sleeping peacefully. Now Dean was wide awake. All he'd intended to do was see where they stood… now he had his answer. For a minute, he didn't move, wondering what to do next. That's when his cell phone rang.

"Shit," he thought as he scrambled to answer it. Angela was already stirring by the time he hit the talk button. "Hello?"

"Dean, where are you?" Sam asked from the other end.

"Uh… I've just been investigating a lead," Dean lied.

"All night?"

"It was a big lead. Or at least it would've been if it wasn't just a stupid prank."

"It's 11 AM, Dean. What were you doing that took so long? Besides, I thought you were gonna go to Angela's house."

"Well, I did… but then, when I was leaving, that's when these annoying kids ran up and led me on a wild goose chase."

"How did a bunch of kids know we investigate this stuff?" Sam asked.

"They must've seen us waiting on the tracks last night. It's probably pretty funny for the locals by now."

"Whatever. You'd better get back here soon, Dean. I found a lead of my own, one that will actually go somewhere."

"Where are we headed?" Dean asked.

"Delaware. But we'd better get out of here soon-"

"Yeah, yeah, I know. See you soon. Bye, Sam." Dean hung up the phone and sighed. He looked over at Angela as he started re-dressing. She'd been watching him during the entire conversation.

"Did you just lie to your brother?" she asked as she reached over to grab her shirt and put it on.

"Wouldn't you have?" Dean asked.

"I guess so," Angela realized. "Do you need to leave soon?"

"Well, yeah, but… do you really want me to? I mean, we just-"

"It's fine, Dean," she interrupted as she got up and walked over to him as he re-dressed. "Like I said before, we can't work. We're just star-crossed lovers who made the best of the limited time we had together." She kissed him.

Dean was confused. He'd never met a girl so abrupt before. She didn't even want to try and deny that they would have to separate. Dean figured he should say something, but he found himself at a complete loss for words.

"Bye, Dean," Angela said.

"Bye…" Dean stuttered as he awkwardly left the room. Did a chick just give him the "it's not you, it's me" routine? This was all very odd… especially since Dean didn't really want to leave. He wondered if she didn't want him to, either. What she had said was true- as long as she wasn't willing to travel and he had to travel, they wouldn't be able to be together. Dean had more important things to worry about anyway, like getting the thing that killed his mother so that he and Sam could see their dad again. He reminded himself of that as he left Angela's house and got in the car.

………………………………………………………

Sam hopped in the Impala and Dean pulled away from the motel parking lot, hoping his brother wasn't going to ask about last night again. He was still trying to sort all it out himself.

"So, what kind of lead did you get, anyway?" Sam asked.

"Look Sam, I'm tired. I don't really want to discuss it right now," Dean answered. His thoughts had been so preoccupied that he hadn't come up with a good alibi on the way over.

"Do you want me to drive?" Sam asked.

"No, I'm alright for now," Dean said. Thankfully, Sam didn't mention the "lead" again. Dean probably wouldn't have answered anyway- he was too busy wondering if maybe he should've never left Angela's house that day.

Well I'm running down the road

Trying to loosen my load

I've got seven women on my mind

Four that wanna own me

Two that wanna stone me

One says she's a friend of mine

Take it easy, take it easy

Don't let the sound of your own wheels drive you crazy…

A/N: The song is "Take It Easy" by The Eagles. ...Please review!
