Chapter 10

A/N- I do not own Supernatural

Dean and I were cool after our little moment. It took some time but we were pretty much as close as we were before they put a stop to the apocalypse. He told me about his time with Lisa and Ben and how they had to get Sam's soul back. I told him about what I did over the year he was gone. Of course my stories were more exciting in the beginning because I was still hunting.

He told me that Lisa was the first woman that he truly loved. He still did but there was something different. He still loved her but there was someone else. He hadn't told anyone about his mystery girl so that's why he went to stay with Lisa. Especially since his mystery girl had no idea how he felt. He was upset when he lost Lisa and Ben for good but I could see that a very small glimpse of hope filled him when he talked about the mystery girl.

"Well, you should probably tell this mystery girl." I said with a mouth full of burger. He and I decided to go to the diner for some food. Just like old times. Plus, Sam and Bobby were getting annoyed that Dean wasn't actually doing any research so I offered to get him out of their hair.

"I don't really think it's a good time to spring this kind of information on her."

"Why?"

"Because I pissed her off real bad and I think she is just now starting to forgive me."

"Dean…" I said getting a little serious. "You have a tendency to piss off a lot of people every day. A good chunk of those people realize that that's just how you are and get over it. Might as well find out if she fits into that chunk too…"

"I can't tell if that was meant to be good or bad…"

"Just take it as a compliment because I'm not really sure either and I was the one who said it." I said cutting him off before laughing. I then decided to give him what I thought was a good piece of advice. "Also, if she isn't into the whole chick flick clichés of love confessions, then you should avoid those when you tell her. If it were me, I would probably laugh if you did something like that. Especially if you do something from one of those cheesy 80's teen movies."

"Well, you did say when we first met that you could be a real bitch sometimes." He said laughing genuinely.

"How do you even remember the little things I said to you when we first met? That was like 6 years ago."

"I guess I just have a good memory." He said with a shrug and taking a sip of his beer.

"Okay. Sure." I said sarcastically. "You can barely remember what state you're in half the time."

"It's what happens when you get old." He said sarcastically.

"Dean… You're 31. Plus, I'm only two years younger than you so don't say that because then I'll feel old." I said laughing and shaking my head.

Dean and I walked back into the house to see Sam and Bobby hard at work. They looked as if they were about to pull their hair out. That was obviously a horrible sign.

"I'm guessing you haven't had any luck with finding a way to stop Cas from opening purgatory?"

"How did you guess?" Bobby said sarcastically and a little harshly. He went to refill his glass but came up with an empty whiskey bottle. "Balls."

"I got it." I said taking the empty bottle and going to get a new one in the kitchen. I also grabbed two more glasses for Dean and I. Once all four of us had our filled glasses, I sat on one of the chairs that were pulled up to the desk. "So what can I start looking for?"

"Actually, I got a call earlier. I need you to go check out a case of me." He handed me a sheet of paper with a few notes written down. "You've worked with these guys before and I told them you would help since I'm kind of busy right now. Just meet them there. Sounds like a pack of werewolves but they're not sure."

"Alright. I'll get goin' then." I said taking my glass with me to go upstairs and get my stuff.

It never took me long to pack up since I was used to living out of a duffle bag. Once I had my bag and guitar loaded, I came back inside to let the boys know I was heading out and to get Molly.

"Make sure to come back in one piece." Bobby said giving me a quick hug.

"Come on, Dad. This isn't my first rodeo." I said sarcastically.

"I know ya idjit. Just let the old man worry a bit won't ya?"

"Just don't worry too much. You've got a job just like I do." I said giving him a kiss on the cheek. "Make sure to keep these boys in check. Keep me updated on Cas too!"

Right before I was about to hop into the truck, I heard my name being called. I turned to see Dean jogging over to me.

"What's up?" I asked concerned.

"Just listen to Bobby and come back in one piece." He said pulling me into a hug. "And call me if you need us."

"Hey. No chick flick moments now. And you don't have to worry about me. I was raised by two of the best hunters out there, one of them being Bobby. I've been doing this my whole life. Just like you." I said returning the hug. I pulled away and gave him a kiss on the cheek. "Keep an eye on Bobby for me. Things have been rough for him this past year. I don't want much more to happen to him."

"You got it." He said with a smile and kissing my forehead before pulling away completely.

"Call me if something comes up with Cas!" I said as I got in the truck.

I pulled away from the salvage yard and as always, I didn't know how long I would be gone for. The joys of being a hunter and never being able to stay in one place for too long.
