I figured I'd write a quick chapter with Sam based off a review from Ruby. I'm not going to post again for this story until Friday so see you guys then.
I hopped out of the car and sent a wave to 'mom'. That was a funny thing to think, mom. She gave me an encouraging smile, and then a goodby before driving off. I huffed and blew my bangs out of my eyes.
I sat under an old oak tree outside the school, waiting for the doors to close. I was going to skip today and look for Dean who's been out since last night. Cas called and said he found him, then hung up before 'mom' could get a word in edge wise. John was angry, went out to look for them all night. Mom stayed by the phone waiting for the next call. Still no word.
The doors to the school finally close and I frown, I felt wrong. Either way I stood up grabbed my back pack, pulling it onto my shoulder and headed down the side walk towards the park.
At the park I pulled out a roll of poster paper and stretched it out on a picnic bench, pinning the edges down with rocks. It was a crayon map of the whole area, Gen had helped me make it. It showed where all the houses were and the parks and stores. If I was going to find my brothers I'd just check everyplace on my map.
"What are you doing out of school", A gruff voice said from behind me. I whirled around to see a man with dark brown hair and brown eyes staring at me. He had a thick dark beard and a small scar on his eye brow. He wore a leather jacket and thick work boots, he reminded me of Dean.
"What are you doing alone in a kids park", I retorted. Suddenly feeling a little vulnerable.
The man smirked at me, "Snarky I see".
I glared at him and turned to roll up my picture drawing when the man came and sat on the bench beside me, "You didn't answer my question".
"You know you seem like a real perve right now", I sighed. I wanted this man to leave me alone right now.
"Yeah, I can see where your coming from. But what if I told you I was just here to meet someone", He explained.
"Who?", I questioned looking around the empty park. He chuckled and checked his watch.
"A long lost family member", He sighed sadly.
He wasn't asking me to help him find his dog or anything so I pulled my map back out and spread it back onto the table. No reason for him to upset my plans.
"We'll", He pushed. I groaned and tried to ignore him. I didn't want to go to another table since this was the only one not covered in obscene graffiti.
"I'm just skipping today. I'm looking for my brothers", I explained. Cas and Dean were most likely fine and just spending the night somewhere, but I was sick of nobody letting me help.
A look of concern crossed his face, "What happened", He asked.
Something inside me trusted this man, something made him feel familiar. "Something happened. He heard are mom talking on the phone and the he got mad or something and ran away, my other brother went looking for him", I explained. Besides since Dean and Cas left I have no one else to talk to that I'm sure they wont get mad, this guy was a stranger so why should he care.
"Must have heard something bad, huh", He asked.
"I guess, I think he thinks are social worker is going to take us from our family", I said quietly. That's what I think.
"Your Family", The man asked confused, if I wasn't mistaken there was a flash of pain in his eyes, like what I just said stung.
"Yeah, there are foster parents and my real brother and my foster brother", I said smiling slightly. I liked that I could say foster parent without something bad at the end now.
"I bet your Foster parents and your brothers wouldn't want you missing school", He said nodding toward the building across the street. I gulped and brushed my bangs out of my eyes again.
"Yeah. But they never let me help with anything because they think I'm to little", I complain. I was 11 for crying out loud not five. When Dean was 11 he could drive already.
"I wonder why? Maybe because your acting a little immature", He smirked. I frowned, maybe I was but who cared. "Your never gonna show them your responsible if you just take off like that, trust me I know", He said sadly. That flash of pain was back again.
He was right and I knew it, I made a huge mistake. "Can't go back now", I shrugged.
"You sure", He asked raising an eyebrow. I thought a moment, maybe If I tried.
"Possibly.. yes", I mumbled. Dean used to sneak me in and out of school all the time on account of being late every morning, I never missed a day.
"Then I think you need to go act mature and head on back to school", He scolded. I nodded, I had a few more minuets until first bell if I hurried, and Mrs. Nudimair was always a few minuets late in our first class. Dean and Cas would be back soon, I just wanted to help. But I guess it would put more stress on Mar-mom and John if I turn up missing to.
"Thanks. Whats your name", I asked gathering my things up.
"Um you can call me Micheal", he said sadly. Again he confused me.
"I'm Sam. I hope you find your family member", I waved pulling my bags strap over my shoulders again.
"Thank you Sam, I'm sure I will", he smiled.
With that I left the man sitting on the bench, jogging back to school. I felt strange leaving him there, like he was something important that I'd forgotten.
I crept around the side of the building until I came to my class room window, peeking in. Gen sat in her desk writing something in her notebook. I knocked on the glass getting her attention. She glared at me, getting up and coming over. She opened the window and pulled me inside the class room, then knocking me on my butt.
"Ouch!", I yelped making contact with the floor.
"Samuel Colt. This schools best student is 'never' late. You were going to skip", She accused. Her brown eyes boring into my hazel.
"I'm sorry OK. I'm here now", I defended getting up and plopping in my desk. I rolled my eyes at the snickers coming from the kids behind me.
"Don't let it happen again", She warned.
"Won't", I mumbled under my breath.
Yeah I know I suck waiting until Friday but my mom said she'd take my computer if I didn't slow down and take a breather so I have to take time between chapters for a little while.
