Disclaimer: the song 'Lost' belongs to Saving Jane. I used a little of it in chapter 3 as well.

Chapter 5: The Mistake

Dean was at a table. Sam must have been in the bathroom or something. And he was sitting with some tramp who I could have punched in the face. He was flirting with her! Then, she started to lean into his face. And they got closer and closer and their lips almost met but I turned around before I could see anything. Then I heard him.

"Annie…" He said clearly. I wasn't to far from his table and the place wasn't that crowded. I clamped my eyes shut and walked over to the bar.

"Tequila, shots and keep it coming." I said. The bartender looked at me funny. "What? Am I not a paying customer?" I slammed a 50 dollar bill and his hesitancy immediately left. He handed me a shot.

"Happy freaking birthday Annie." I whispered to myself before downing it.

(Gabi's POV)

I didn't know Sam and Dean would be here. This wasn't good. Dean was drunk, Annie saw him almost kiss that girl, and Dean saw her seeing him. And now he was just sitting at the table cursing himself, Annie had disappeared to the other side of the bar and was probably taking shot after shot. This was in no way good.

"Gabi why are you here!" Sam exclaimed when he saw me.

"I didn't know you guys would be here, and while you were gone Dean made a new friend and got a little bit to friendly, then Annie and I walked in and she saw and now she is probably killing herself and he is over there and looks like he is going to cry and… this is just no good." I muttered.

"Ok new approach, you take Dean, I will take Annie." He said. I nodded and walked over to the table, and I was in no way prepared to be nice.

"What the hell were you thinking?" I asked him. He looked up at me.

"Where did she go?" He asked quietly.

"I really don't think you need to know that right now. You know, I knew you were an arrogant jerk but I thought you had a good heart. But then you have one little argument and you start hooking up with the first slut you meet! Are you insane? Annie loves you! Sure you guys are mad at each other but all couples fight! Do you expect her to trust you now?" I went off. He just shook his head.

"I want this to be over." He muttered.

"Well you just made it a whole hell of a lot worse." I spat out.

"I know… I didn't mean to." He said. And he meant it.

(Sam's POV)

Gabi and Annie couldn't have been here more then five minutes and Annie had eight empty shot glasses lined up on the bar and more coming. She was worse then Dean!

"Annie…" I said softly.

"Don't… don't touch me…" She said slurring some. "I hate men, and they need to go to hell."

Oh yeah, she was wasted hard. I looked at the bartender and mouthed 'No more' to him. He nodded and stopped handing them to her.

"Aw come on, it's me Sam. The little brother you never had." I joked. She shrugged.

"Yeah, but I never really wanted a little brother either." She said. "But I guess you are ok, so you don't have to go to hell, just make sure your brother over there does."

This wasn't good. If she kept this anger up things were going to come after us like crazy. Especially if she was in this condition.

"Annie don't do this. He loves you." I said.

"Loves me huh? Is that why he was so willing to jump all over that waitress? If that is love I don't want any part of it.' She said coldly. Then I saw it, the tear she had been holding in fell down her face.

"Annie…" I whispered.

"I love him so much…" She whispered back. "But I don't know what to do…"

Gabi must have not been able to stop him, because Dean was behind us now.

"Annie?" He questioned softly.

She jammed her eyes shut, but that didn't stop the tears. Hesitantly he came over and placed his hand on her shoulder.

"Will you talk to me?" He asked. She inhaled sharply, then turned around and slapped the hell out of him.

"No, but that felt really good." She said holding back her tears. Dean just closed his eyes and took it in as she walked off.

Within seconds she was gone.

"You can't just let her walk off like that, she needs you." Gabi tried to tell him.

"And it's dangerous, the evil probably knows she is angry and vulnerable right now and will take the chance to attack." I said. He knitted his eyebrows together.

"Wait what do you mean attack? It is after us?" He asked. I had given it away.

Dean wasn't that wasted at all. And now that he knew about this he was able to push pack any influence that alcohol may have had on him and jetted out of the door.

(Dean's POV)

"Annie!" I yelled after her. She was walking down the street and I could hear her crying. I chased after her until I was caught up. "Annie you need to talk to me, please."

She was drunk, and hurt and I couldn't blame her. Her tiny body was shaking even though it was seventy degrees and I wanted to hold her.

"Why don't you go talk to your new friend?" She snarled and kept walking.

"Annie that was the biggest mistake I have ever made in my life and I swear to you I would trade my life to take that back." I told her honestly. It helped a little. Then I heard it. She was humming.

"Is that your song?" I asked.

"How do you know about that?" She asked. We approached the hotel and she unlocked the door and we went inside.

"I have seen you writing it for the past couple days, trying to make it perfect. Can I hear?" I asked softly.

She hesitated. "It probably is the easiest way…" She mumbled. Then it was quiet for a minute until her beautiful voice surrounded the air.

"Tragic, Confusing when you slam the door
I've never lost someone like you before
And let you go softly not even a sound
Hoping that someday you'd come back around"

Her voice started becoming masked with her cries. I wanted to hold her, but I let her finish.

"Cause I miss your sandpaper face against mine
The way you get impatient waiting in line
It doesn't matter if we don't agree
I like you even when you don't like me"


How could she have thought that I didn't care, that I didn't like her. I loved her, more then anything.


"And I'm lost when you're away
Lost, fade into gray

"Captive to words that

I wish I Could say
I never imagined I'd crumble this way
Somehow I thought this was where I belonged
Don't leave me wondering if I was wrong"

God, no she wasn't wrong. That was where she belonged, and where I belonged. How could I be so stupid

"Cause

I'm lost when you're away
Lost, fade into gray

Lost when your away
Lost fade into gray
Lost when you're away
Lost fade into gray."

She looked down when she was done and I held my arms out. She looked at me for a second before falling into them and once she did I let a few tears fall down my face.

"I'm so sorry Annie."

------------

(Annie's POV)

He was holding me again. God I had missed this. I sang the song, and I had seen how badly he wanted to cry. I wasn't feeling to well, but I held it all in.

"I'm so sorry Annie." He whispered. I nodded.

"I forgive you." I replied. His arms tightened around me. "I want to tell you everything." I said, not really thinking about it.

"Only if you are ready." He said. I pulled in my tears and looked at him in the eye.

"Will you marry me?" I asked quietly, feeling very weird about it all.
