"Chloe…" Dean whispered.
Chloe stepped back, she was trying so hard to keep her tears in, but she couldn't. All the tears that she had been bottling up inside for all these years were flowing from her eyes. She couldn't look at him, when she saw him she felt hurt, all that she felt for him was hatred, nothing more.
Dean watched as the love of his life started to cry right in front of him, it hurt him even more because he was the one who caused those tears to come out of her eyes, he was the reason for her pain.
Chloe couldn't seem to make eye contact with Dean but she could feel his eyes on her, she glanced at Sam briefly and finally got the courage to speak, but it came out as a whisper, "I…sob… got to go…" She said as she ran out the door.
"Chloe!" Dean yelled while trying to catch up with her, he wanted to make things right, he couldn't live with himself if she were to be in so much pain and feel so much hatred against him, he just couldn't…
Chloe walked towards her car, trying to stop crying as she wiped her tears. She could hear Dean calling her name behind her; she just couldn't face him, she wasn't ready…
Dean eventually caught up with Chloe and grabbed her hand, which allowed him to spin her around so that she was facing him now. Her eyes were red from the crying and Dean wanted so badly to take all her pain away, he couldn't handle seeing her like this, it made his heart ache.
"Chloe…" Dean said softly.
Chloe stepped back and just looked at him blankly.
Dean let go of her hand and put his hands to his side, he then opened his mouth to speak…
Now:
"I'm sorry Chloe, for what I did to you," Dean said softly meaning every word that was coming out of his mouth.
He watched as Chloe finally looked at him, all he could see in her eyes was pain and hate all towards him; he watched as her eyes started to fill up with tears ready to run down her cheeks any second…
"Your sorry! It took you 5 years to figure that out!" Chloe was yelling at him, she couldn't help but yell at him, he left her 5 years ago, she had to raise Jason all on her own, and now here he is standing in front of her saying that he's sorry.
Dean stood there, frozen, not moving a muscle. He knew he deserved that…
"Chloe-" Dean started but was interrupted by a sob that escaped Chloe's throat, he looked at her and saw her crying even harder then she did before.
He stepped closer and was about to reach for her shoulder, but she pulled away…
"Don't touch me…" Chloe whispered looking at the ground.
Dean couldn't face the fact that she had just said that; he wanted to touch her, to pull her into an embrace and never let go… he'd never let go… never let go of her… not like he did before…
Dean slowly put his arm down and stared at Chloe, not sure what to say, "Chloe I really am sorry… I didn't mean to hurt you…"
"Then what else did you mean! Cheating on me was one thing, cheating on me with my co-worker is another, but telling me that being with me meant nothing to you, that I was just any other girl that you'd slept with…, that it was just a one time thing… that it didn't mean anything… HOW IS THAT NOT SUPPOSED TO HURT ME?" Chloe couldn't help but cry in front of him as the memories of him breaking her heart started to play in her head.
Dean felt terrible, it felt like someone had just stabbed him in the gut…
"Chloe… you don't understand…"
"Oh, I understand perfectly! Why don't you just finish your case at Smallville and leave; you've got practice with leaving haven't you?" Chloe exclaimed as she sat in her car and drove off.
Dean watched as she drove off, he couldn't feel his legs, he didn't have the power to move or speak, he didn't know that he had hurt Chloe so much that it caused her to hate the sight of him… but he knew he couldn't stay for long, he couldn't be a burden to Chloe any longer, he had to let her live, he couldn't have her hurting for the rest of her life… he loved her too much…
Dean slowly walked up back to the house and saw Sam sitting on the couch where Chloe was recently sitting, he made his way to Sam and sat beside him, joining their conversation.
"Why would you say such things Dean?" Sam asked nodding his head in disbelief as he listened to his brother tell him about what had happened earlier this afternoon when he was with Chloe; they were currently in the impala driving from Ashley's house.
"I was young, plus, confused, I didn't really accept the fact of being in love… and I was afraid of losing her… or putting her life in danger… so, I pushed her away by saying and doing things that I didn't mean…" Dean replied back trying to explain himself to Sam.
"Yeah, I get that you did it for her, but she doesn't know that Dean; she thinks that to you the whole relationship was a joke," Sam said trying to get Dean to understand where he was coming from.
"Yeah, I know and I feel terrible, I just don't know how to make things right again, I don't think I can…. maybe I should just let her live her life, maybe she'll move on someday…?" Dean said softly, trying to not get hurt by the thought of her in another man's arms.
"Wow, you don't give up on stopping the Apocalypse, saving people, killing monsters; but your giving up when your girlfriend isn't forgiving you right away?" Sam asked sarcastically.
"Well, I'm not in love with demons and the angels, I'm in love with Chloe. And seeing her crying the tears that I caused… I just don't want to cause her anymore pain by staying here…"
Sam didn't know how to respond, he couldn't force his brother into making things right with Chloe.
"So, what your saying is… after this case is taken care of we're just gonna leave, and never come back?" Sam asked trying to get everything cleared up.
"Yeah, I guess so…" Dean said softly as he glanced at Sam in the passenger seat.
"Why was she there anyway? I mean with the fake badge and everything?" Sam asked curiously.
"Oh... um... she kinda knows about the.. uh... hunting business..." Dean said sturrering.
"What? Wow..."
"So, you found anything on the shape shifter…. Where he might be?" Dean asked trying to change the subject.
"Well…-" Sam started but got interrupted by Dean.
"Seriously? You got nothing? I thought you were supposed to be the next Einstein or something?" Dean said a little frustrated.
"Ha ha, real funny; for your information, I do have something, there was some strange activity going around, a woman named Samantha, she's a teacher at some elementary school, she said that her husband didn't come from work… maybe we can get something from her…?" Sam asked with a hint of hope floating through his words.
"Sure, sure… so where is this school?" Dean asked.
"Just a few more blocks…" Sam said while reading through the notes that he had just made from the interview with Ashley.
Hey, you've reached Chloe's voice mail, please leave a message after the beep…
Beep..
"Ya, hey Chlo, just wanted to tell you that I'm going to pick up Jason right now, on my way; I know that I'm late and all, but I was kind of chasing a lead… but don't worry I'm on my way now," Lois said as she babbled into the phone while getting into her car.
Lois started the car and rushed onto the street.
"Okay, we're here," Dean said as he stared at the small school in front of him.
Sam slid out of the car, Dean followed.
"Okay, so lets go find this teacher your looking fo-" Dean stopped when he saw a little boy standing by himself in front of the school.
"Dean?"
Sam followed Dean's gaze and saw the little boy as well.
"What's a kid doing here so late?" Dean asked curiously, while starting to walk again.
"I don't know, why don't you go and check that out while I go and try to find Samantha." Sam said as he walked past Dean to the main entrance of the school.
Dean slowly made his way to the little kid, the kid was sitting on the ground playing with one of his toy cars. Dean went and sat next to the kid, "What are you doing here so late, kid?"
The kid just looked up at Dean with a questioning look on his face, then he looked back down, " Sworry, my mommy said not to talk to strwangers…" he said as he started to play with his car once again.
Dean raised an eyebrow.
What a smart kid…
"Well, consider me as your friend, I'm Dean, what's your name?" Dean said while raising his had to meet his, "My name is Jason." he said with a smile.
"So, what are you doing here so late?"
"Oh, nothing to wowrry about, mommy gets late sometimes, she works."
"Oh, what about your Dad?" Dean asked.
Dean watched as Jason's smile faded and he looked up at Dean about to say something, "Daddy is-" Jason was interrupted with someone calling his name.
"Jason?" Lois asked as she made her way towards him.
"Aunt Lowis!" Jason said running up to hug his aunt.
Dean looked up and his jaw dropped, it was Lois, Chloe's irritating cousin.
"Lois?" Dean asked as he stood frozen.
"Dean?"
Lois was speechless, she didn't hope to run into her cousins former boyfriend, she didn't know what to say, he was the one who broke her cousin's heart…
Lois snapped her attention to Jason and smiled, "Jason, honey why don't you wait in the car, I'll be there in a few…"
"Okay…" Jason said as he ran towards the car.
Once Jason was out of view, Lois went towards Dean, "What are you doing here?"
"Since when did you become an aunt?" Dean asked clearly surprised.
"Since, you left Chloe and made her raise your son all alone!" Lois said harshly.
"Wait… what? What are you talking about?" Dean asked confused.
Lois looked at him confused as well, but then she realized what was happening, "You didn't know…"
"Know what…?"
"Jason's your son Dean, and he's five years old," Lois said slowly.
"What…?" Dean said while glancing at the car to see Jason in the passengers seat.
"I'm so sorry, I thought you knew…" Lois said scratching her head.
"Chloe's going to kill me!" Lois said as she started to walk towards her car.
Dean stood there trying to figure out everything that was just said, "I'm a father…." Dean whispered to himself.
Chloe ran up to her apartment, wiping her tears.
Why can't he just leave me alone!
She took her jacket off and hung it on the rack; Chloe made her way to the phone taking deep breathes.
"Hello?" Lois asked through the other end of the phone.
"Yeah, hey Lois, could you take care of Jason for tonight, I've got some work to do… and I won't be able to pick him up…" Chloe said in the most cheerful voice that she could do at the moment.
"Yeah, sure Chlo… you okay?" Lois asked concerned.
"Yeah, perfectly fine," Chloe said trying to hold back her tears.
"Okay, then… don't worry, I'll take care of Jason for tonight," Lois said.
"Kay, thanks Lo," Chloe said disconnecting the line.
Chloe put the phone away and leaned against the kitchen counter, letting out all her tears.
Sam got out of the impala, loosening his tie, "Well, I got a few things…"
"Sammy, there's something I have to take care of, I'll catch up with you later…" Dean said as he started to drive once again.
"Dean, wait-" before Sam could finish Dean was already out of sight, "Great…" Sam grumbled as he entered the motel.
Chloe heard a knock at the door and slowly made her way to answer the door.
Once she opened the door she was surprised, Dean was the last person she wanted to see at the moment.
Dean stormed in the room, "Why didn't you tell me?" Dean said almost yelling.
Chloe closed the door and was surprised at his sudden out burst, "tell you what?"
"About my son!" Dean said, actually yelling this time.
What, how'd he figure out…
"Why would I tell you about Jason?" Chloe said, frustrated.
"I don't know maybe because of the fact of him being my son!"
"Don't call him your son! You don't have the right to call him your son!" Chloe shouted.
"Oh, like you do! I'm surprised a girl like you didn't abort him in the first place!" Dean was now really irritated.
That hurt Chloe, she didn't know what to say, she managed to say a few words, "Wha-t do you-"
"Your just like every other girl that's slept with me, what I don't get is why you would keep the child?" Dean asked harshly.
Chloe didn't have the courage to speak; as she allowed a tear to run down her cheek.
"I'm not even sure if Jason's my kid, when it comes to you, it could be anyone!" Dean shouted not realizing all the hurtful things he was saying to Chloe.
Chloe was getting angry; she just felt hate, only hate for the man that she once loved, "I wish! I wish, that Jason wasn't your son, he doesn't deserve to have a father like you!" Chloe screamed.
Dean said one last thing before slamming the door behind him.
"Don't worry, I'll leave Smallville and won't have to cause Jason any misery," Dean said harshly as he walked out the door.
Chloe ran to the bathroom slamming the door behind her, she couldn't take the pain, she couldn't live like this…
She roughly searched through the cupboard and pulled out sleeping pills.
She swallowed all of them and then went to her room; she laid down and cried herself to sleep.
Dean slammed the door to the motel room once he entered, which caused Sam to jump, he looked at Dean with a confused expression.
"Dean's what up with you?" Sam asked with concern.
Dean groaned and sat on his bed, hiding his face in his hands.
"I just made a huge mistake," Dean grumbled.
"Wait, what? What happened?" Sam asked curiously as he went to go sit on his bed, which was next to Dean's.
"I think I might have made things worse with Chloe…" Dean said with a frustrated tone.
"What? How?" Sam asked clearly confused.
"I just figure out that I'm a father… Chloe's the mother… and then I blew up and once again said things that I didn't mean…" Dean said loosening his tie.
"What? You're a father?" Sam asked surprised.
"Yeah," Dean replied with a small smile.
"I'm an uncle?" Sam asked, also with a smile.
"Yeah, you are,"
"Well that's great! I mean, when do I get to meet the little kid?" Sam asked.
"I'm guessing never, after what I did, I don't think you'll ever get the chance,"
"What? Why did you blow on her in the first place? She didn't exactly do anything wrong…" Sam asked.
"She didn't tell me about Jason…" Dean said trailing off.
"Well, could you blame her… I mean you did leave her with harsh terms." Sam said slowly.
"Yeah, I know… I just wish I hadn't blow at her apartment before figuring that out…" Dean said taking off his jacket.
"So… does this mean, we're not exactly leaving yet?" Sam asked with hope.
"Yes, it does… I can't just leave when I know I have a son now… I can't leave Chloe alone in this situation…just don't know if she'll ever forgive me.. especially after tonight" Dean stated.
"Yes Oliver, I'm heading to her apartment right now…" Clark disconnected the call and super speed the Chloe's apartment.
Clark knocked at the door, "Chloe?"
Clark got no response, so he knocked again; like before, no response.
He started to get a little concerned so he broke the lock and slowly opened the door.
"Chloe?"
Still no response.
He made his way to her room and saw her laying there, "Chloe?"
He walked to her side and tried walking her up, but still no response.
He looked for a pulse and noticed that he heart beat was slowly slowing down, Clark panicked, "Oh my god..."
He picked her up and rushed her to the hospital.
There was a loud knock at the door which caused Dean to wake up. He swore under his breathe as he made his way to the door unsteadily.
He opened the door slowly and a woman barged in, angrily.
"Lois?" Dean asked surprised.
"What's your deal Winchester?" she asked shouting.
"What did I do now?" he asked heading for the couch.
"Were you with Chloe last night?" Lois asked.
"Yeah… why?" he asked confused.
"What's up with you and hurting her?" Lois asked almost crying.
"Lois what's wrong?" Dean asked getting off the couch to her side.
Lois was officially crying now, lately there were a lot of women near Dean that were crying…
"Because of you she's fighting for her life right now, why don't you just do us all a favour and leave!" Lois shouted heading for the door.
Dean stood in front of the door before Lois could go out, "Wait, what do you mean 'fighting for her life'? he asked hesitantly.
"She's in the hospital, Dean… thought you should know," Lois said before moving past Dean and walking out the door.
"What was that all about?" Sam asked getting out of his bed.
"Chloe's in the hospital…" Dean said softly.
"What? What happened, is sh-"
"I gotta go…" Dean said grabbing his jacket and running out the door.
