Chapter 8
After stopping off at Sam's place for just a moment to grab clothes and other things, they drove to Priestley's place on the other side of down. It was so different then anything he had ever lived in before. There were these cloth posters hanging on the walls that had punk and rock bands. There was a lot of tie-dye and incense. Sam found it strange...but at the same time he felt at home. He had his duffel bag in his hands as Priestly pushed dirty clothes and take-out trash off of the couch. He looked at Sam, who was looking around in awe.
"The maid is off." Priestly joked. Sam smiled at his attempts to make a joke. "Welcome to moi maison." Sam looked at him strange. "It's French. I studied it in high school."
"Oh." Sam said. "I speak Latin and English." That seemed to perk Priestley's interest.
"Really?" He asked. "That's awesome man." Sam shifted uncomfortably where he stood. Priestly noticed. "Wanna take a seat?"
"Sure." Sam said. He walked over to the couch and set down. He kept his eyes downcast, not wanting to look Priestly in the eyes. Priestly gently touched Sam's cheek and Sam looked up at him with tears in his eyes.
"What's wrong?" Priestly asked. Sam locked eyes with Priestly.
"I don't wanna go home." Sam said softly. Priestly smiled and gently caressed Sam's cheek with his thumbs.
"You never have to go back there." Priestly said. "We can go get more of you stuff tonight and you can stay here." Sam didn't look too convinced at Priestley's answer, so he decided that the best way to tell Sam that he was loved by someone was to show him. He gently kissed Sam's soft lips, much more delicate than Jesse ever did. Sam smiled at him before he leaned forward to kiss Priestly back. Priestley's heart began to beat faster and his palms began to sweat. He hadn't felt this way since that Chad Michael Whatever came to town. That blonde guy was the farthest thing from his mind right now.
"Let's do it." Sam said softly. Priestly took the duffel out of Sam's hands and tossed it onto the floor. He then grabbed Sam's hand and pulled him to his feet.
"Come on then." Priestly said. They quickly left Priestley's place and returned to Sam's. They shoved all of Sam's things into bags and boxes that were just laying around. Then they tossed them into the back of the van. Priestly drove out of the parking lot quickly. His driving style reminded Sam a lot of Dean, and how he would high-tail it out of an area after they just caught something on fire or killed one of the town's most "Upstanding" citizens. And since Priestly had given Sam the strength to finally cut the ties and leave Jesse, maybe he would have the strength to finally call his brother and tell him everything that he had been through over the past year or so. Maybe he could find the strength to step back onto the campus he had been forced to abandon so long ago. Maybe he could open himself up to love and have feelings for Priestly.
Sam and Priestly had been gone for awhile when Jesse Moore's fancy sports car pulled into the parking lot. He ran into his and Sam's...no just his, place and saw that Sam's stuff was gone. He roughly pulled out drawers and tossed them at the wall, he tore hangers out of the closet and buried them in the drywall and wood, he tossed the bed over looking for any sign to prove that Sam hadn't left him. He didn't find anything.
Jesse had fire in his eyes as he went to the top of the closet and pulled out a locked cashbox. He took a key from his key ring and unlocked it, removing a shiny .45 magnum. He loaded it carefully and turned on the safety. He hid it under his shirt, being held by the waistband of his jeans. With that, he left the building, not even bothering to shut or lock the door behind him.
We should call Batman. He should protect Sam from Jesse. Oh, this is a great song for this story that I found on my dad's old albums. It's called "Only Woman Bleed" by Alice Cooper from "Welcome to My Nightmare". Yes, I know that Sam's not a woman and would probably shoot me full of rocksalt if he was real and saw this, but it actually does fit, just change woman to him and there you go. Okay, I'll stop babling. Please reivew!
