Chapter 12
After Sam got out of the hospital, they loaded everything they could into the van and took off, well, after Priestly had a tear-filled goodbye with his friends. Piper and Jen cried and hugged Priestly, Tish gave him a pat on the back and a smile, and Trucker shook his hand. Then they were off. They drove for awhile before Priestly pulled over into a tiny motel. When Sam got out, he spied something across the parking lot. A black car that shined in the sun. Sam walked over to it.
"Sam?" Priestly asked as he watched Sam walk to the car. "What do you think you're doing?"
"It's okay." Sam said. "I know the owner." He added. He walked to the passenger door and opened it.
"Sam, I don't think this is a good idea." Priestly said. "I mean, what if…"
"Get the hell away from my car!" Someone yelled. There was the sound of a gun loading. Priestly protectively stood in front of Sam and raised his hands up. He didn't even turn around to look at who was threatening them.
"Priestly, move." Sam said, trying to get out of the car.
"No." Priestly said, willing to protect Sam. Finally, Sam pushed around Priestly and went to the person who was there, pushing his arm down to lower the gun.
"Hey Dean." Sam said. Priestly turned to see a gruff looking man standing there, his pistol lowered at his side. He was smiling at Sam with the biggest smile Priestly had ever seen.
"Sam, who's this?" Priestly asked. Sam looked back at him. He let go of Dean's wrist and walked over to Priestly.
"Priestly, this is my big brother Dean." Sam said. "Dean, this is my hero Priestly." Sam said. Priestly blushed and felt Sam grab a hold of his hand. That's when Dean seemed to notice the bruises on Sam's face, but he didn't say anything.
"I was just heading for a drink." Dean said. "Care to join me?" He asked. Sam looked over at Priestly.
"Sure." Priestly said. Dean walked over and pushed the passenger door back open.
"Do I get my Sidekick Geekboy as shotgun?" Dean asked. Sam let go of Priestley's hand and went to the passenger side door. Priestly got in the back, sitting behind Dean so he could watch Sam.
They arrived at the bar and after a couple of beers, Sam excused himself from the table. Dean looked over at Priestly and took in his appearance. He took a sip of his beer.
"Can I talk to you for a moment?" Dean asked as he stood from the table. Priestly was nervous, but followed along behind him.
They walked outside when Dean took a swing at Priestly. Priestly ducked and easily got Dean into a chocker hold, but he got out of it quickly.
"What the hell did you do to my brother?" Dean asked him as the continued to fight. That's when Sam made an appearance.
"Dean!" Sam yelled. He grabbed his brother's arm and pulled him away from Priestly, but Dean accidentally spun around and hit Sam in the face. Sam went down quickly to the sidewalk. Priestly lunged forward for him.
"Sam." Priestly said. He rubbed the bruises on his cheeks. He gently kissed his forehead before looking back at Dean, who seemed worried about his brother. "What kind of brother are you?" Priestly yelled. "Sam's already been through enough crap in his life! He doesn't need it from you too!"
"Stop…yelling." Sam said. Priestly looked down at him. "He's not Jesse. You don't have to hate him." He whispered. Dean looked at him strange.
"Jesse?" Dean asked. "Who's Jesse?" Priestly shot him a dangerous look, telling him that they were bordering on a dark piece of territory.
"Jesse Moore is the devil." Priestly said. "He hurt Sam, and now I'm going to hurt him. I swear to God that I'm going to hurt him for even laying a hand on Sam." With that, he got Sam to his feet and they began to walk away.
"Where are you going?" Dean asked. Priestly turned around for a brief moment to look at Dean before turning his head back with his arms wrapped around Sam.
"Sam needs his rest." Priestly said. "He just got out of the hospital."
Priestly needs to learn to tell his bad news better. I mean, Sam's very, very protective big brother just found out that Sam got out of the hospital. That can't be easy for him. Please review!
