Chapter 4: The Lost

Four days. And we still hadn't made up. No hugs, no kisses. No sweet whispered words in the middle of the night. Nothing. I had been sharing a bed with Gabi and Sam had been banished to the floor.

I hadn't even asked where we were headed. I just kept writing my song until I had it where I want it.

The fifth day Sam and Gabi made Dean and I sit in the back together. I had fallen asleep with my note book open in my lap.

Last I remembered, Dean was asleep to.

(Gabi's POV)

"Well, they are within two feet of each other now." I said sighing. Annie was miserable, so was Dean.

"Yeah, I think I have an idea." Sam told me.

"What is it?" I asked. He looked back to make sure they were sleeping.

Normally when they were back there they had three positions that they switched every hour or so. One, Dean would be sitting up with his head leaning against the window and Annie would be lying on the seat with her head in his lap. Two, they would both be laying down and Annie would be on top of Dean, and Three, they would both be sitting up but her head would be rested on his shoulder with his arms wrapped around her and his head resting on hers. But now, they were leaning their heads on the opposite windows. They were almost acting like children.

"At the next stop We separate them completely for a couple hours. I will take Dean to a bar or something, and you and Annie can go out somewhere and we just talk about something completely off the subject of their fight and make them realize how much they miss each other. Then, hopefully when we get back, they will be back to normal." He told me. I smiled at him. He was so adorable trying to play re-match maker.

"K, deal." I said. "But Sam…" I said as I inched closer to him.

"Yes?" He asked smiling as I got right next to him.

"After we put them in their corners, can we have some alone time? I miss that. I miss you." I told him as I stared into his eyes. He quickly kissed me and then put his eyes back on the road.

"I miss it to. And we will get some soon, I promise." He said. I smiled and leaned into him.

"Good." I said satisfied.

(Annie's POV)

"Gabi what are we doing?" I asked. We were in some town in Georgia and Gabi had insisted on a girl's night. Sam and Dean had gone out so Gabi insisted we do the same.

"Well someone's birthday is next week so I figured we could do our usual birthday thing a week early. That way next week the four of us can do something." She told me

She was right, my twenty third birthday was next week and I hadn't even thought about it.

"So, you want to go out and eat, then go to some bar, get ridiculously drunk and make out with a random guy again? Or in your case have another one night stand?" I joked. But it had really happened on her 20th birthday.

"Exactly, except this time we don't have to use fake ID's to get into a bar." She said beaming. I didn't really feel like going out. But I would be damned if Dean was out there having a good time and I was stuck in a hotel room hogging on Ben and Jerry's and watching Titanic on a bad TV waiting for him to get home.

"Fine, let me get ready." I said. So I did and we left.

(Dean's POV)

I never thought I would see the day when Sam would drag me to a bar. But it happened. I hadn't really wanted to go, but Sam said Gabi and Annie were going out and hell would have to freeze over before I sat in a hotel room and pigged out on junk food and watched chick flicks on a bad TV all night while I waited on her to get back.

This was out of hand, but neither of us would back down. So Sam and I were at this bar eating burgers and drinking beer. I couldn't stop it either. I was hurting so bad being away from her.

"Dean, I know I brought you here but maybe you need to slow down." Sam told me. I wasn't drunk yet, but it wouldn't be long.

"Sammy, some people poor out their pain in words, some in violence, but with me, this always does the trick." I said as I waved a beer bottle in his face.

A cut waitress walked by and I stared at her for a second and nodded. Sam hit me over the head.

"Hey!" I exclaimed.

"Annie man! Annie!" He said. Then I realized something. I had barely looked at another girl since I had been with her. Which was weird for me.

"I was just looking!" I said. He rolled his eyes.

Then I got the feeling he had something up his sleeve, and I was going to get it out of him.

(Annie's POV)

I stared into my empty martini glass and stirred the plastic thing with the olive in it over the ice.

"Ok Annie, snap out of it! Am I going to have to take you to another male strip club like I had to in 2001?" She asked. I laughed at that memory. It was my eighteenth birthday and I had just broken up with my first boyfriend. So Gabi and her masterminded friends took me to some outrageous club. I don't even think they checked our ID's.

That was a fun night.

"No, I just…" Then the waiter came by and asked if I wanted anything. I ordered another martini.

"Ok if you keep doing that you are going to go over the house limit." Gabi told me.

"Then we will just have to go to a bar and I can drink cheap beer and end up dancing on the bar again won't we?" I asked.

That would be birthday 2003. My twentieth. She laughed.

"You always had all the good stuff happen on yours, I got the dull end." She said huffing.

"Ehh, that is because you are younger." I told her. She narrowed her eyes at me.

"Hey now, lets not start that again…" She said.

We were actually having a good time just talking. But then, I did reach the house limit.

"Time for the bar?" She asked. I smiled and nodded. "Are we going to have to have another shot contest?"

We both laughed.

"Oh bring it on bitch." I joked. We laughed our way across the street. Neither of us were drunk, maybe a little tipsy, but not drunk. And the bar was just across the street so walking was no big deal

But when we got to the bar, my good mood turned black.
