A/N: So, in the last chapter we met Aaron Harvelle. He's going to be popping up frequently, but so far I don't have any plans to bring in Jo or Ellen. Read and Enjoy!

Disclaimer: Aaron and Annie are mine! That's it.

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

Annie was so happy to see Aaron; they were close friends and knew each other their whole lives. Annie didn't see much of him in person, unless she was staying at Ellen's while her Dad and Uncle were on a hunt, then they got to spend days together. Together as young children, they were quite the partners in crime; Jo had enough problems dealing with Aaron by himself, but when Annie was around, it was like having two of Aaron.

"I heard your Dad told you the truth, about what's out there." Aaron whispered as they parted from the embrace. They were walking around, outside of the school.

"Yeah… I nearly died."

"You freaked out that bad?"

"No, a demon possessed my ex-boyfriend, Mark, and he nearly killed me." Annie whispered faintly as her lip trembled over Mark's name. Aaron noticed.

"Sorry to hear that. You know what I do, right?"

Annie just nodded. "You're a hunter, like my Dad and Uncle, right?" Aaron simply nodded.

"Found my Dad…" Aaron rambled, "Drunken bastard didn't want anything to do with me. Said he didn't want a kid, which was why he left Mom all those years ago."

"Sorry."

"It's not a big deal, I mean, I've gone seventeen years without him, and look how I turned out. Not bad if I do say so myself." He said with a smirk. Annie rolled her eyes and smiled. She couldn't remember feeling this happy in a long time. Annie heard the bell for second period to get to class.

"Skipping class? Tsk, tsk." Aaron teased as they nearly circled the school now and made it back to the auditorium.

"What, like you've never skipped class?"

"Hey, it's healthy to skip class now and then." Aaron stated as he smiled back at her.

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

Dean and Sam, among other parents, waited in the teacher's lounge impatiently waited for third period to come. Dean hadn't really wanted to come because the idea of talking to a bunch of hormone enraged teenagers was not his idea of 'fun'. On the other hand, he was speaking in one of Annie's classes, so he would be able to check on her without actually checking on her. The pros outweighed the cons for him, which was the only reason he was doing this.

He glanced over to Sam, and then walked out into the hallway up to the water fountain. He wasn't really thirsty, but he was nervous wreck, and the cold water helped him to relax. In a few minutes he would see Annie, and then he could stop worrying.

He took a gulp and then turned to glance around. That's when he nearly spit out his water when he overheard the health teacher giving the students the 'sex talk'. He forced himself to swallow as the memories of his own uncomfortable chat with Annie came flashing back.

Annie was in her room, she was fourteen at the time and getting dressed to go out to a party with her friends. It was the first party he let her go to. He knocked on the door.

"Annie?" He questioned nervously. He really didn't want to be having this conversation with his daughter, but there was no mother figure in her life, and he knew he had to do it; it was his responsibility.

"Yeah Dad?" Annie answered as she opened the door. She was dressed in a jean skirt that went to her mid thigh, and a pink camisole with a jean shrug. He nearly died the way she was dressed, and how much makeup she had on. She was only fourteen…

"You really need all that crap on your face?"

Annie rolled her eyes. "Thanks, I appreciate the criticism. Especially when I saw Stacie… Or was it Tracy with more crap on her face?" Annie retorted. Dean hadn't found a woman he'd seriously settle down with, and well, you know Dean. You gotta get a little nookie once in awhile.

"This isn't about me, and besides, Lacy is a lot older than you." Dean answered as he walked in and sat on her bed. 'Was it Tracy?' He thought to himself. He just shook his head.

"Anyways, we need to talk about something." He prompted.

"Like what?" Annie questioned as she sat next to Dean on her bed. She could tell he looked very uncomfortable. She knew this couldn't be good.

"Listen, you're a teenager, and I'm letting you go to this party, but there are some things you should know…" Dean paused. "Guys are scumbags."

"What?"

"I'm sure your health class at school has gone all of the technical crap…"

"Dad, no!" Annie wailed, she knew where this was leading.

"Listen, I know this is awkward for both of us, but you need to know something. Guys just want sex, that's it. No guy at your age wants a real relationship." Annie rolled her eyes at this.

"I'm not dumb Dad."

"I know that, and I understand you don't want to have this talk, and believe me, this is the last thing I want to talk to you about, but if you have questions, you need to ask," Dean paused, "But that does not mean I'm saying it's okay to do it. I don't want you doing that, you're way too young."

"So you'd rather me drink?"

"Preferably, no, but if I had to make my choice…"

"Dad!"

Dean just shrugged.

"Dad?" Annie questioned meekly.

"Yeah?" Dean answered, praying she didn't have a question about sex.

"Let's not ever talk about his again…"

"Agreed. Oh, abstinence is key."Dean tossed that last part in there, he'd die if Annie ever had sex. He didn't want her doing that, she was way too young. But to be honest, thirty was too young to him too.

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

Dean shook his head, snapping himself out of the memory as he heard the bell releasing second period.

'Five more minutes…' He thought to himself.

Annie sighed. "I have to go to class…" She wailed, not really wanting to.

"Why? I thought we were skipping today."

"I was until third period. My Dad and Uncle are guest speakers."

"That should be fun." Annie rolled her eyes.

"Yeah, and getting stabbed with a knife is fun. Please." Aaron just laughed, amused with her.

"So what will you be doing?" Annie questioned, she didn't want to leave her best friend.

"Well, let's see… I just transferred, and I believe I have a business class discussing careers for career day." Aaron said casually. Annie smiled.

"Walk with me?" Aaron just nodded as he let his childhood friend lead him to class.

"What's with the transfer?" Annie questioned, they were almost there.

"I have a gig in town, and your Dad offered to let me stay with you guys, especially since he knows how much you miss me. How you call my name out at night." Aaron said with a smirk. Annie playfully slapped his arm.

"I do no such thing!"

"Aw, c'mon Winchester, you can't take a joke?"

"Not at my own expense, one at your own would be much better." Annie whispered as she walked into the classroom and took a seat. The teacher conveniently placed Aaron right behind Annie. Dean noticed subtle flirting between the two.

'What have I gotten myself into?' He thought to himself. He didn't like the direction in which their relationship seemed to be going. Then again, Annie did need to be happy, she needed to take her mind off of what could have happened, and enjoy being a teenager. He sighed in defeat, plastered on a fake smile, and walked to the front of the room, explaining his job, and answering questions.

"So, Winchester, what are you doing after class?" Aaron whispered as he leaned towards Annie. She shrugged.

"I don't know, eat, homework, and chill."

"Lame."

"You got a better idea?" Annie snapped.

"Nah, I just like patronizing you. Yeah, there's a party tonight, and I think it would be beneficial to both of us to go."

"Why, so you can get laid?" Annie questioned. She knew her best friend was not a virgin… Far from it.

"Yeah, because that's why I go to parties…" Aaron whispered back, rolling his eyes. "Seriously, you need to get out more, live your life and have fun."

"Fine, I'll go to your damn party, satisfied?"

"Maybe."

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

It had been a long night. Annie woke up, propping herself up on her elbows, looking around. She was in her bed. She faintly remembered the party last night, but she remembered getting fairly wasted. She didn't remember getting home, or how she got into bed, she just knew that it was a long night because it was four in the morning, per her clock.

She yawned, knowing she wouldn't make it back to sleep, so she gently hopped off her bed onto her feet and headed downstairs to the kitchen. She froze as she saw Aaron leaning against the kitchen counter staring up at the moon through the window. She also noticed he was only wearing dark plaid pajama pants. Granted he was her childhood friend, but she was a teenager too, she noticed these things.

"Couldn't sleep?" He questioned, not moving his stare.

"Yeah…" Annie whispered as she grabbed a water bottle from the fridge. She groaned in pain as her head throbbed. Aaron smirked.

"You were so wasted."

"Gee, thanks." She muttered as she went to reach for the Tylenol, and popped out three capsules. She swallowed them down with water, no problem. She put everything back in its proper place.

"What about you?" Annie questioned as she joined him, wondering why he was staring at the moon, he wasn't the touchy feely type. He shrugged.

"What, didn't get laid?"

"Nah, I was too busy saving your ass."

"Huh?"

"Yeah, you were so wasted, you should have seen yourself. Way to go."

"Thanks…" Annie mumbled as she dropped her gaze to the ground, feeling a little insecure.

"I was jealous."

"Why? You could have had any girl in that room." Annie was confused now. She looked up at him, and he suddenly turned to her, and leaned down and kissed her softly. At first Annie was shocked, but then it felt so right that Annie couldn't help herself as she wrapped her arms around his neck. Aaron slowly pulled away. He just stared into her eyes gauging her reaction.

"I've been waiting to do that for a long time…" He whispered. Annie just nodded and bit her lower lip.

"What is it?"

"It's just… I never knew you felt this way. If my Dad ever found out…"

"Oh, c'mon Winchester, you were dating that one guy, what's – his-face."

"Mark. That's different though, Mark wasn't living with me. Mark wasn't a year older than me."

Aaron shrugged. "Well, we can just keep it under wraps until my job is done, then we can go public."

Annie nodded. "Sounds good." She whispered as she leaned up on her toes to kiss him once more. He met her halfway and kissed her back.
