I had gone home at about eleven thirty last night and slept in till nine. The intern exam started at eleven and would be at the hospital. Things at home were tense. I could tell that Katie was taking Alex's side on this one and Alex wasn't even speaking to me. Bradley had to back Katie up on this one because he was her boyfriend but he kept shooting me sympathetic looks meaning he was on my side. The two of us walked into the hospital together.

"Are you alright?" he asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Why wouldn't I be?" I asked back.

"Your fight with Alex," he replied.

"Yeah, I'm trying not to think about that until after the exam," I said with a sigh.

"Sorry. How was studying with Dean last night? We missed you," Bradley replied.

"It was really good actually," I said.

"If you don't mind me asking, what's going on between the two of you?" Bradley asked, trying not to sound too curious.

"Nothing," I responded, almost too quickly.

"Yeah okay," Bradley said, unconvinced.

The two of us walked into the hospital together and went into the elevator. Bradley pushed the button for the third floor, where our exam was being held.

"Oh I need to go check on something," I said, getting off at the second floor.

"Don't be late," Bradley reminded, almost as if it was a warning.

"I won't," I replied, getting out of the elevator. I made my way to Dean's room, nervously. I didn't know why I was nervous. It was just those jitters that people get when they see someone they like. God, I was acting like a school girl...

"Hey," I said.

"What're you doing here? I thought you were taking that exam," Dean asked, happy to see me.

"I just wanted to stop in a say hi before I took it," I replied, casually.

Dean smiled, "Well good luck," he said.

"Thank you," I replied.

"You're going to do great," Dean said. "As in, you didn't need me to study. You know it all. Now go ace that test!"

I smiled, "Thank you, Dean."

"It's all you," he replied. "You look beautiful, by the way."

I blushed, "Thank you."

I said goodbye to Dean, before getting in the elevator and going up the third floor where they were holding the exam. Almost everyone was sitting down and so I made my way to the nearest open seat. The proctor began to speak and the exam that determined my next year as a surgeon began.

After the exam, we were free to go and so I went to check on Dean but he was in physical therapy. I decided to go home instead because I was exhausted. I slept most of the day but made it back to the hospital at night just in time for the intern exam scores to come back and to start my next shift. It would hopefully be the last 48 hour shift that I'd have to work as an intern.

"Montgomery!" I heard Chief Williams exclaimed.

"Thank you," I said, holding the envelope in my hands.

"Are you going to open it?" Bradley asked.

Katie had opened her and both of them had passed. Alex was celebrating with another intern. She was cute and pretty and blonde which put me at ease. Hopefully he was already looking for other people. I glanced at my envelope.

"Uh, in a second, I have to be somewhere," I said.

Bradley shot me a look at Katie looked uncomfortable, "I'm sorry, guys!" I then hurried to Dean's room. If I had passed, he was the one I wanted to be with.

"Hey," I said, seeing him.

"That dress looks great on you," he said.

"yes, well you'll be seeing me in a pair of scrubs the next time I see you so don't get too attached," I replied.

"Did you pass your exam?" Dean asked, sitting up.

"I don't know," I replied.

"What do you mean? I thought you go the answers tonight," he said, then immediately seeing the envelope I was holding my hands. "You haven't opened it yet?"

"I wanted to be with you," I said, sitting on the edge of his bed. I then began to open the envelope. My eyes scanned the page eagerly.

"What does it say?" Dean asked.

I looked up worriedly, "I passed!"

"Damn, you scared me for a moment!" Dean exclaimed.

I giggled, "Thank you for studying with me. I couldn't have done it without you."

"Nah, it was all you," Dean replied.

At that moment, Dean and I stared into each other's eyes. His eyes glanced to my lips and then back at my eyes. He was going to kiss me. He wanted to kiss me. The two of leaned in a bit more but suddenly there was noise at the door.

"Dr. Montgomery, may I speak to you?" a voice asked. I whipped my head around to see Dr. Stevens standing the doorway.

"Yes, sir," I replied, getting off of the bed and leaving the room. I was busted, wasn't I?

"I see that you passed," he said.

"Yeah," I said with a smile.

"You'll be starting your residency tomorrow but I just want you to know that the program is considering you. You'd be able to do your residency there but it's taken one step in a positive direction," Dr. Stevens said.

"Seriously? Wow, okay. I'd be willing to leave if I needed to," I said.

"Good. And also, Montgomery, I don't what's going on between you and Mr. Winchester but it ends now," he said, firmly. I nodded my head.

"Yes, sir," I replied.

This had to end. Whatever it was had to end. It wasn't like it had turned into something yet but we had almost kissed. That was bad.

I went back into the room.

"Are we busted?" he asked.

"Kind of," I replied.

"So… what does that mean?" Dean asked.

"It means, it means that I need to distance myself a little bit for now. I really like spending time with you but it'd probably be best if I we didn't spend so much time together. Plus they'll probably assign you some hot new intern that you can flirt with," I replied. This was goodbye, wasn't it?

"But I already have a hot intern," he smirked.

"I'm a resident now," I smiled, proudly.

"No, I meant Katie. We're having a red hot love affair," he joked.

I giggled, hitting him playfully.

"I'll still visit and stuff but maybe we shouldn't be as close," I said.

Dean nodded, "Whatever you want."
