A/N: I own Persephone.
Thank you to Emmettluver2010 , FantaseyImager, Guest and Yankees01 for the reviews!
I looked at the text and back out over the canyon. I had come out here to think. I knew that I was about to have conversations I didn't want to have, be around people that I had come to detest, and actually questioning why I was still doing this internship. I was surprised that I had accepted it at... it was supposed to be fun. I was supposed to see the world while getting new experiences... heart break was never supposed to be one of those experiences. I knew that I wasn't on the same level as Seth... and I guess that I was dumb enough to think that I could ever keep him happy.
I sighed and looked back at me phone.
I'm back in town early. Come over tonight. ~ Renee
I knew that it might be good to get out of my small apartment, but I knew that Dean would be at their place. I still had no idea how to deal with him. I wasn't sure if he was just fucking with me, if he really just wanted to fuck with me, or if I was just wrong place and wrong time.
Sure. I replied and looked back over the canyon. I came here to think, but usually just over analyzed everything. I wasn't sure if it was just me or if everyone did that.
I pulled myself together and got to Renee's around 6pm. She texted me to have a swim suit and I picked up a bottle of vodka. She said that we were grilling. I really didn't care, because I knew that I just needed to get away from my mind in those four walls.
I pulled up to the house, punched in the code, and drove through the gate. I saw her and Dean's car, but there was another car. I just hoped that whoever it was wouldn't turn out to be a dick. I grabbed my stuff and walked up to the door. I turned the door knob and walked inside. I had been yelled at too many times to just come inside. I looked up and saw Seth talking to Renee. He had his hair pulled up in a bun on the back of his head, he wasn't wearing a shirt, and had on swim trunks. I wanted to turn and run, but Dean came out of the kitchen and spotted me. He pulled me with him to the kitchen and took the bottle from me before I threw it.
"Why is he here?" I hissed in a whisper.
"He wanted to see you and she doesn't know." he said and quickly unscrewed the bottle. I chugged a good shot of vodka before Dean pulled it away from me. He made me a drink while I stood there and stewed about what to do.
"He hasn't seen me yet." I said and turned to see them walking into the kitchen. Dean shoved the drink in my hand and I was grateful for that.
"Hey, babe, I didn't hear you come in." Renee said and hugged me.
"I brought vodka and Dean helped me make a drink. I didn't want to interrupt anything." I said as Seth made his way to me. I put the drink up as soon as he got close enough. I didn't want to kiss him. I still didn't know how I was able to stand this close to him... I guess for some weird reason I knew that Dean was near by and might save me. I gave a small smile as he motioned for me to follow him outside. We walked out and he was talking about something when I realized that he was by the pool. I put my drink down on the nearest table and shoved an unsuspecting Seth into the pool. Dean and Renee were near by and saw the whole thing. Dean was rolling with laughed and Renee looked shocked. I really don't know where that came from, but it felt kind of good. He came up laughing.
"Nice, Percy... I will get you back." he said and I nodded. I didn't care if he did or not. I sat down with my drink as Dean got into the pool with Seth. Renee was laying on the lounger next to me.
"Let's play truth or dare." Renee said after a little while.
"Fine, but in the pool." Dean said and I raised an eye brow when he looked at me. He smirked and I downed the rest of my drink. Renee jumped into the pool and I walked over to the steps. Seth swam over to help me and I took his hand so there wouldn't be any problems right now. I would handle the issues between us when it's just us. I floated on a noodle as Renee went first.
We were all asking random questions when Renee asked me truth or dare. I felt risky and slightly drunk.
"Dare." I replied and she looked surprised, but then smirked.
"Where was the first place you and Seth fucked?" she asked me and I chuckled.
"Dean and his changing room." I said and Seth turned a little red, while Dean looked shocked.
"Nasty." he mumbled.
"Seriously? We do it in those all the time." Renee said and I chuckled as Dean shrugged. He was never one to look embarrassed.
"Seth, Truth or Dare?" Dean asked Seth once it was his turn.
"Truth." Seth said and I rolled my eyes. He wasn't one for dares that made him uncomfortable.
"Did you go with Cathy this weekend?" Dean asked him and Seth squirmed. I glanced at Dean and he was neutral. I knew that he was trying to help me, but I didn't quite appreciate it like this. Seth looked at me and I raised an eye brow.
"I did, but it was just for an interview." he was quick to say and I nodded.
"And you couldn't have done the interview while you both were on the road?" I asked him and he sighed.
"We need drinks." Renee said and tried to change the subject, but I was locked onto Seth. He looked uncomfortable and I was happy about that.
"Look, if you want to fuck someone else just tell me." I said and Renee stopped beside me. I knew that she realized how serious this had just gotten.
"I didn't want to..." he said and I scoffed. He took a step closer and I backed away.
"So, instead, you both just share a common love of coffee?" I asked him and his eyes got wide. He got ready to say something, but I held up my hand.
"Please, don't... I saw you kiss. I don't care anymore if you fucked, but I do care that you weren't honest." I said and walked out of the pool. I left him standing there.
"Percy, I made a mistake. I only did it once." he shouted after me and I shook my head. He really was a fucking mistake.
"It's been fun." I said and walked into the house. Renee was right behind me. She tried to grab my arm, but I kept walking.
"You can't drive, Percy. Just stay... I will send him home." she said and I knew that she was right. No one should drink and drive, but that wasn't going to stop me now. I turned to look at her and she upset.
"I will be fine." I said and walked out the front door. I got almost to my car when someone darted in front of me. I was now looking at the chest of Dean.
"I can't stay here, please move." I said without looking up. I felt the tears in my eyes. I didn't want to be here any longer. I wanted to just run away. He plucked the keys out of my hand and I growled in frustration. I walked around him and Seth was there. He grabbed my arm and I couldn't take it anymore. My fist connected with his face and he went down. I heard a crack and felt my hand get a few inches bigger, but I didn't care. My pride felt a lot better. I stepped over him and started down the driveway. I wasn't going to stay here anymore.
I made it to the gate and kept walking. I was all fine to walk the few miles back home or until I saw a taxi. I couldn't help it as I felt the tears start to slide down my cheeks a lot of me felt better, but the part that felt worse won out.
AN: Please review!
