Matt didn't know why he followed Dean into his car when he told him to. He just got in without asking any questions. They had been driving for five minutes and now Matt finally realized what was going on.
He was leaving with Dean and Sam. Possibly to go hunting or whatever. But they were leaving with him, they were leaving together.
It felt so good not to be alone anymore. For the past two years since his parents died he's been alone that whole time. Sure, he met people along the way but it's not like he'd ever get to know them when he's constantly moving around. This time he was moving around the country with other people and not by himself. He was hunting with family again.
Hi parents had been his only family growing up and when they had died he had no one left. His life had begun a downward spiral the day they died. Maybe now, since he had family again his life would get better. Maybe now, he wouldn't feel so helpless and scared all the time.
When Dean told him to get in the car he had obeyed without a second thought. He felt like he had to do as Dean said and that Dean would keep him safe, maybe this is what it felt like to have an older brother.
He just hoped both Dean and Sam really wanted him around, wanted him to become part of their family.
"You guys didn't have to take me with you." Matt told them and watched as Sam spun around and Dean glared at him through the rear-view mirror.
"We want you to come Matt. But I didn't really think about what you had to do, I was too worried about keeping you and Sammy safe. I mean, did you want to come? Did you have anything you wanted to do? Oh crap, I forgot about your car! I really wasn't thinking straight, you had a car back there and I…." Dean started
"Dean, come on. That piece of junk? It was about to give out any second. I…I do want to come, but only if it's okay with you guys. Like I told you at the bar, I was hunting alone so it's not like I'm leaving anything behind." Matt told him
"We want you to come." And this time it was Sam that said it "You're part of our family now."
Matt was glad that Sam was so understanding about this and welcomed him into the family. He was happy that from what he could tell, Sam had no anger towards him for being Dean's brother. He was also glad that Sam still considered himself as part of the family. From what Dean told him the other day Sam was having a hard time with being adopted and didn't think he belonged anymore. Sam seemed to have gotten past that since then.
And from the little that Matt did talk to Sam, he liked the guy, he really did. He had talked to Dean more but he really liked both of them. They were good guys. He thought he was pretty lucky to have them as brothers.
About after two hours of driving Matt asked Dean if he could stop at a drug store.
"I just wanted to get my prescription meds." Matt had told him. "And a couple packs of cigarettes."
Matt had seemed fidgety the whole car ride and Dean was curious exactly what meds he was taking, but it wasn't any of his business so he didn't ask. However that didn't mean he couldn't worry.
So now Dean was parked in the drugstore parking lot. Sam was sitting next to him and still hadn't said a word to him the whole car ride. Dean was waiting until they had a while alone before he talked to Sam. Now seemed like the perfect time.
"Sammy?" Dean asked him gently
"Hmm?" Sam mumbled back
"I'm sorry." Dean told him truthfully
That got Sam to turn around and look at Dean. "Sorry for what?" He asked
"For treating you like shit the other day. When I thought you didn't want Matt around. I was stupid, I'm sorry." Dean ran a hand over his face; he wasn't used to having to apologize like this to Sam. It was awkward but it needed to be said.
"If I had a problem with Matt, which I don't, I would tell you. I want Matt to come along with us, to get to know him. And even if I didn't I wouldn't try to make him leave. You know that. You always complain because I always like to solve problems by talking remember? The dreaded 'chick-flick' moments." Sam grumbled. However, his tone was lighter, which proved to Dean that his brother did forgive him.
"I know Sammy. I should've known you wouldn't have tried to get Matt to leave. I know it's no excuse but it's just…I was confused too. You were upset before and I thought you still were. I didn't know what to do to make it better; I thought that you still thought I would ditch you. I was trying to comfort you, get to know Matt and make sure you both didn't feel left out. I was overwhelmed and I took it all out on you, like I usually do. I'm sorry, I'm a crappy brother." Dean sighed
"Dean you're not a crappy brother, not by a long shot. You're just an ass sometimes." Sam told him Dean lightly chuckled. "It's okay Dean."
"No it's not." Dean shook his head. "I treated you like shit, that's not okay."
"Dean..." Sam tried again
"Sam, no. It's not okay to treat your brother like shit. Let me say this. I almost lost you and there….I couldn't find anything to help you…I felt so helpless; I thought you were going to die. I was barley holding it together Sammy. It was almost that the last words I spoke to you were out of hate. I shouldn't have said any of it no matter how frustrated I was, it's not okay."
Sam nodded and smiled a little "Fine, it's not. But I forgive you Dean."
Dean looked up and met Sam's eyes. He was so grateful that he had such a forgiving and understandable brother. "Thanks Sammy." He told him. And Sam better take this while it lasts because 'chick-flick' Dean is going to be gone in about 2 seconds. Dean doesn't know if he can take much more of this. "So we okay?"
"Yeah, we're good." Sam smiled "We're good jerk."
"Bitch." Dean shot back, his eyes sparkling with happiness. Then he reached over to the radio and blasted his music.
Matt finally came out five minutes later with a lit cigarette in his mouth and shopping bag full of stuff in one hand. He opened it up and threw some bags of candy at Dean through his opened window.
"Just some stuff for us for the road." Matt told him. Dean could tell from the look in his eyes that Matt was hoping he and Sam would like the stuff.
"Hmm…" Dean said while sorting through the bags of candy. "Hershey's Candy Mix, there you go Sammy." He tossed the bag to his brother. "Mini Nestle Crunch, alright…and…OH! M&M's!! Dean said in excitement as Sam rolled his eyes
"Nice choice, man." Dean smiled at Matt before ripping into the bag and popping a large handful into his mouth
"Give him a bag of those and you'll have him occupied for quite a while. I give him some whenever I want time to myself." Sam shook his head and laughed
"Shut up." Dean mumbled through a mouthful of candy.
"Gross. Chew with your mouth closed." Sam said disgusted
"You're not my mother."
"Alright then." Matt laughed as he finished his cigarette, obviously not used to the brotherly bickering. "I'm going to have another smoke and then I'll get back in the car."
"Take as long as you want." Dean decided not to comment on Matt's smoking even though he wanted to and waved the bag of M&M's at him. "I wanna finish these."
Mat had no idea what he was getting himself into with these two.
One Week Later
Dean sighed. Of course the first hunt the three of them go on is connected to Sam and Matt. This Andy kid was born the same day as them and where Sam has visions, he has the power to make people do anything he wants with his mind. Matt probably had some sort of power too, but he hadn't told Sam or Dean.
However Andy wasn't the problem. He was a good guy. His 'evil' twin brother Anson was the one causing trouble.
Anson was trying to make Andy's girlfriend Tracy jump off of a bridge. Luckily Andy's powers didn't work on Sam or Matt; they assumed Anson's wouldn't either. But they knew the powers would work on Dean. Sam had told Dean to stay away, hide in the bushes with a sniper and when he had good aim, shoot Anson.
But Dean didn't like this at all. He didn't like being so far away when his brothers were in on all of the action. All he could do was listen and wait.
"You don't have to do this." Sam was telling Anson
"But it's so much fun. The man with the yellow eyes has big plans for us so I've been practicing so much. And unlike my brother here I believe I'm strong enough to have my powers even work on you two, my own kind." He smirked and looked at Matt and Andy. "You two, stay."
Dean watched in horror as Matt couldn't walk from the spot he was in. He went to aim for Anson when he discovered he couldn't move either.
"Now I'm going to have your brothers watch as you kill yourself." He smiled at Sam. "Now jump off this bridge."
Dean's eyes widened and he screamed as Sam climbed to the edge of the bridge and jumped off….
OK, don't worry! I'm NOT going to kill Sammy! Something will save him and you might have a pretty good idea as to what! Let me hear your ideas! Were you glad Sam and Dean made up? Do you like how I give glimpses of Matt's point-of-view too? Let me know what else you'd like to see or what you would like to see more of! I'll go more into depth about Matt in the next chapter but this had to happen first, you'll see why! Thanks for reading and it would be awesome if you could please review. I've gotten tons of author alerts last chapter but not many reviews. I really like knowing what my readers thin so please review, it doesn't have to be long or anything, just let me know what you think! Thanks for your support!
