Chapter 5: Just the Same Ol' Story
Liz Phair - Stars and Planets
Halestorm - I Get Off
Amanda's POV
Waking up to Dean's arm on my draped on my side playing with a patch of skin showing from where my had ridden up, I decide not to move yet enjoying the touch.
"Get a good nap there Cooper?"
"It wasn't horrible! I could use dinner and a shower though." I tell him getting up and readjusting myself. Fucking boobs fell out my bra...ugh need more coverage!
"Soon enough, we are about ten minutes out." He told me as I pull the sun visor down to look in the mirror. Oh My God, I look like Lohan after a night of partying. Putting my hair up in a messy bun and smoothing out my eyeliner from under my eyes I put the visor back up and sit back.
"Women and their pampering, look beautiful no need to worry.... another dingy motel.."
"Gosh I really hope Sarah doesn't think I'm pushing this thing between us to fast... I need to be investing more time in Dean and his deal then my emotions anyway..."
"Finally getting the block up and can keep Sam and Deans hormones out of my emotions I'm going to bust if I feel one more spike in lust...I really--" Sarah yelled out at me "Amanda Lynn Cooper..OUT OF MY HEAD!" Oops, shit ...ha-ha!!
"Sorry sis no intent, I just was calm and everyone thoughts just kind of popped up ..it was all so loud and I couldn't make it out so don't freak ok I didn't hear anything from anyone!" I assured everyone and feeling quiet embarrassed at same time. Ok so I lied I did hear but still, they don't have to know that!
"So dinner!" Dean said pulling in to the parking lot of a Freya's Diner. As we all get out I can still feel the tension from everyone, hell its not like I wanted to hear them! I stomp inside and sit in the booth far in the back corner. They all follow and scoot in same seating as before, must be our assigned spots. Snorting out loud I rolled my eyes and yanked the menu out of Dean's hand.
"What crawled up your ass Cooper?" He asked, which if I didn't already feel like crap I did now, and in my defence I was just lashing out.
"Leave it alone Dean" Sarah said.
"No I want to know why the sudden 'tude'!" Dean told Sarah than glanced at me waiting for an answer.
"Just leave me alone Winchester, I'm hungry and frankly I don't appreciate the stares from all of you!" I told him looking down at the menu not really paying attention.
"You're the--" Dean started before getting I assume a glare from both Sarah and Sam. "Whatever, still no need for the attitude."
Slamming my fist on the table "Look she knows it's not my fault, I can't help your thoughts" pointing to all of them"Bounce around into my head, believe me its not like I want them. Fuck now leave me alone PLEASE!"
Dean shaking his head, Sarah sighing and apologizing silently, while Sam put his hand on my arm when I stare out the window. The waitress finally came to take our orders, asks Sarah for hers. Proceeding to get Sam's as well then to me "Same as him" as I pointed to Sam. Last but most certianly not least DEAN. He ordered the same as Sam and I but only it lasted longer, like three or four minutes longer, him and his damn flirting.
Both Sarah and I look at each other and then turn to Sam who just shrugs and goes back to the laptop. Shaking my head I elbow Dean to move so I could get out. And...Of course he doesn't move, NO! he puts his finger up at me. This infuriates me, ok fine want to play it that way, I get up and climb over the booth to the one behind us. Sarah, who is giggling because this is very Amanda thing to do, to a staring Sam, a glaring Dean and the blond waitress who seems to be getting ready to leave.
"Oh, No, Please don't go on account of me. Infact, sit, and I will take the orders back to the cook and get them started." I tell her with my hand out for the pad, she just smiles nervously and turns to leave. Shrugging I walk outside to get some air, walking around the side of the diner needing to clear my head.
Every one in the diner and few surrounding the area's thoughts were swarming through me. Not able to control this will make me go insane soon, fucking gifts... well I'd like to send this one back. Snickering to myself and my crazy thoughts...
"You ok?" I hear a voice near me making me jump and ready to fight.
"Huh" turning towards the voice "Yea, well no but fuck people piss me off sometimes you know?"
"Want some? Look like you need it more than I do?" He was a cook from the diner, handing me a bottle of Jack. Taking a few gulps of it, which I probably shouldn't have but at this point I could give a shit less.
"Thanks, I think you just made my day" handing him the bottle back.
"Damn woman you sure took a lot, love a woman who can take it like a man." He said looking at the bottle, it was just opened and when he handed it to me I definitely put a little dent in it. "Your food is ready should head back in, unless you want me to bring it to you out here.
"Thanks, and I'll eat inside" I bump fists with the man and head back inside. "Hey I'm sorry for bitching to you, uh I don't even know your name" I yell back at him.
"Eh no problem babe a hot woman like you can bitch all she wants to, just makes you that much more attractive. Oh and its Colby" He yelled back before walking inside.
I laugh feeling some of the effects of the liquor and I begin to sway a little bit stumbling in the diner. Laughing at myself I see the cook in the back laughing at me as I stumble in..."COLBY, DUDE YOU SO JUST MADE MY FREAKING NIGHT, THANKS BABE!!" I yell causing everyone who my not of heard me stumble in now look at me. Blowing him a kiss and returning back to our table.
"Feeling better Sis?" Sarah asked knowing damn well I was a little tipsy, giggling like a fool.
"Oh yea, that cook back there definitely helped. Maybe little more Jack and I would be set for night!" I tell her as she laugh shaking her head. Both Sam and Dean look at me.."What? Ooo food bout time" I grab my burger and begin to dig in as if I hadn't ate in like a week. As we finish in silence unless it was a bit of conversation about the case we have.
The waitress comes back looking at me "Colby told me to tell you that if you wanted rest of Jack you could have it" she stated annoyed waiting for me to answer.
"Tell him to meet me out back again" I tell her smiling as she nods leaving the check and taking all of our plates.
"Sarah looks like you and I have a date with Jack tonight, you game?" Nodding in agreement, Sam looks at her in question. She smiles and whispers to him about what we were talking about and he smiles and shakes head.
"Well Sammy is it OK if she participates in the fun?" I ask him
"Yea just don't get to carried away, and I want you in before it's to late no sleepovers!" He said playing with our little game.
"Yes SIR!" I salute to him. Dean gives me a look, I couldn't tell if it was annoyance or wonder but he definitely was angry with my carelessness, just like Seth. As he pays we head outside and I run toward the side of the building where Colby was waiting for me with a brown bag. I walk up and give him a kiss on the cheek taking the bag and then heading back towards the car where Dean impatiently waiting leaning against drivers side door.
He gets in as I do I turn towards Sarah.."Iceman looks like it's you, me and Jack" I said pulling out the bottle which was still half full.
"Winchester is this OK? Did you wanna join?" I shake the bottle kissing him on the cheek.
"I don't care what you do" was all he said and I knew different but he was going to have to admit it or I wasn't going to give him the time of day "And no thanks!"
"Ok just checking" I said looking back at Sarah and adding "He was kind of hott for a diner cook, wonder if I could of--"
"Not on you're life Cooper" Dean mumbled and took off to the nearest motel.
--
After getting our rooms and taking our showers, Sarah and I sat on our beds pouring mixed drinks of Jack and coke watching some old horror movie on TV. Knock at the door I stumble to the joining door we had with the boys "Cooper's how may I help you" I say opening the door to find Sam grinning at me "Sammy are you here for me or my lovely sister?"
"Just checking on the both of you, doing alright?" His beautiful grin was adorable and if my sister didn't tap that I totally would.
"Yu.." hicc "up!" I laughed and move for him to come in "Hey why don't I give you both some 'time alone'" I say as I walk in to Dean and Sam's room and shutting the door quickly. Looking around I see Dean missing, so I could only assume he was out with that waitress he so badly was flirting with. Getting comfy one of the beds trying to find the same movie I was watching earlier. Flipping through channels Dean came walking out of the bathroom with just a towel on..
"Sammy maybe we should check on--" was all he got out before looking up to find me and not Sam. NICE...totally worth ditching Sarah and Sammy! Trying not to laugh or stare I jump off the bed... well if I was a graceful drunk that's what would of happened, but no it was more like fell off.
"Oompf..FUCK"
Walking over to me and trying not to laugh "You ok? I seem to do that a lot, girls cant seem to handle such beauty"
"Don't flatter yourself I'm drunk" I say trying to get up but not quite succeeding at the moment still dizzy.
"Here" he puts his hand out helping me up "let me get dressed" he turns towards bathroom and gets dressed. Great you dork you did a real good job of being graceful. Lets not make it obvious!!
Looking back up when he opens door "Sammy's is over with Sarah and I don't have anything more to drink, cotton mouth. I'm going down stairs to get a coke or something, ya want?" I offered trying to wobble my way to the front door again.
"Yea I'll go with you, you might have hard time down the stairs. A little bit more complicated than the bed."
"Asshole" I mumble
"Adorable" he corrected
"Pshhst" I shake my head opening the door, well again I tried but before I could he grabbed me slamming the door shut and pressing us against it. "Dean wha..wha are you doing?"
Leaning in I thought he was going to kiss me, but brushes past my lip and moves to my neck. His hot breath hovering over my neck making me shiver, moving up to my ear slowly to only to whisper. "Jealousy is not a good look on you, your much more beautiful than any other women I have met so stop being so damn angry." As he backs away from me I look at him speechless I wanted to say something but I couldn't think of anything. He was going to lean back in to kiss me this time because I could feel it but I move to open the door to the conjoining rooms to walk in on Sarah and Sam making out. Shit I thought this was the fucking front door!
"Sorry I just needed to ..Umm...uh Shit guys I'm sorry" I say still at a loss for words.
"That's ok Mandy, I was just about to head back in there, Goodnight Sarah" Sam says before kissing her one more time then walking toward the door "Goodnight Mandy" he said kissing my forehead.
"Night Sammy" I turn toward Sarah she smiles but then looks at me in question "What?"
"Your freaking out, what happened in there?"
"Nothing, Dean just annoying me and I was tired..sorry I should of knocked!"
"No your good, lets get some sleep long day ahead of us tomorrow" she said before laying down and turing her lights off. Sighing I roll over to only to fall asleep soon after.

Sam's POV
"Dean what happened, what did you do to her she was freaked out when she came barging in" I ask looking at him gulping his beer.
"Nothing, she's just being her crazy weird self. I walked out thinking it was you..and then she fell..then" motioning his hands towards the door.
"Uh huh, well anyways I'm going to get some sleep, Nite" not saying anything back I lay down thinking about Ruby and how she could help us with Dean, maybe the girls could help or be a key into saving Dean.

Amanda's POV
Hangover -an unpleasant physical effects following the heavy use of alcohol. Yep double check for my sister and I. Maybe not such a great idea, but in our defence we both needed it. Getting up to help Sarah in the bathroom where she is throwing up, I rub her back and hold her hair. Few minutes of this she said she was feeling better and wanted to shower.
After I showered we head out to the car both staggering out and both wearing glasses to keep that god awful sun from making it worse. Fucking bright light, always messing with me!!
Sarah and Sam in the back as usual, leaving me to sit up front with Dean-o! Getting in Dean-o asks "So we heading over to see Mr. Worthington's place now?"
"Yea ask him few questions, probably should leave these two in here." Glancing at Sarah and I.
"Umm No we are fine, little bit of make-up and we are good to go" She says and smiles at me. "We have done this before a little old hangover won't be a problem."
"So what are we?" I ask and got nothing but silence.
"PI's for Ms. Vick's family, would make the most sense" Sarah stated and we all agreed.
Showing up outside the biggest house I have ever seen, we all get out. I had on a double breasted black jacket, white tanktop with black bra shown through, some dark blue jeans, along with our low heal black boots. Sarah in the same only a red shirt. Our badge hanging from our belt so it was visible when we moved our jacket aside.
Dean in his leather jacket with a black shirt underneath, blues jeans and brown boots. Sam in a grey shirt, with black double breasted jacket hung down to his mid thigh, blue jeans and his black boots. As we approach the house Dean knocks on the door when a young man no older than seventeen dressed in all back answers the door "Can I help you?"
"Yes we are looking to speak to a Mr. Worthington, do you know where he could be?" I asked not in the mood for some angry teen.
"Who are you?" The boy asks
"Private investigators" I show him my badge "May we come in?"
"Uh yea sure let me get my dad" He said slightly off key this time, surprised I suppose. Turning towards Sam and Sarah, "This place totally MTV Cribs material" Sam rolls his eyes with a smile and Sarah chuckled.
"Hey Mr. Worthington I'm Detective St. John this is Ms. Turner, also Mr. and Mrs. Erhart we are here for Ms. Vick's family and would like to ask you a few questions." Dean introduced us with much experience, totally giving him hell about it later.
Turning back to Sarah "so whens the wedding?" She punched me in the arm laughing and went in after the men. Walking in to the study I glance around to look at all the different books this man had. Sarah I think noticed as well, lots of Roman and Greek mythology. Dean asking questions in the background, not really paying attention.
"You in to this sort of stuff?" I turn to the voice asking me as I was still staring at the collection.
"Not really, but it's cool some people have the time to read all this shit!" I tell him "What's your name?"
"Mark, your uh..Ms. Turner right?"
Nodding "You mind if I ask a few questions?"
"Nope not at all I was heading to the kitchen, you want to come with?"
"Sure, lead the way" I direct my hand out towards him to guide me threw the massive house. Few different turns and down more steps we finally reach a kitchen "You know I would of never found this, hell you need a damn tour guide just to get here. Lemme' guess, bathroom completely on the other side of the house down a few secret passages ways?" I ask sarcastically hoping offence wasn't taken.
Laughing at me "Umm yea it's kind of a big place huh? And no...the bathroom is right there" pointing to another door right in front of the kitchen enterance "did you need it?"
"No..but thanks!" I laugh lightly "So Ms. Vick, you miss her?"
"Yea I saw her more than I saw anyone else, my own mother treated me like I wasn't hers. Father just ignores me so, Lilly took care me." He explains with such sorrow and pain in his voice.
Putting my hand on his shoulder "I'm sorry sweetie, do you know what happened or what might of happened?"
Grabbing two beers handing me one "Can you?" I nod taking it although I shouldn't but oh well "No but she was sleeping with my father that much I did know."
Taking a long swig of my beer "How old are you Mark?"
"Twenty" He says, I just look at him unconvinced "Ok I'm eighteen but I drink all the time please don't arrest me I don't drive and don't plan on it."
Shaking my head and finishing up my beer "Hunny I'm not going to arrest you for drinking in your own home, plus I'm drinking here with you on duty, I could get in more trouble than you would." I smile and throw the bottle away in the trash.
"Your cooler than any of the other cops that have came by. Hey promise not to say anything..?"
"Yep, unless your going to kill me then, I'm probably going to scream and kick your ass!"
"Promise no killing! I slept with Lilly a few times, in fact we were kind of an item for awhile, until dad found out about us and flipped out. Mom found out not to long after about her and dad and well she didn't take it well.." he trailed off.
"How old is Lilly? Do you think your mother has something to do with her disappearing?" I asked hoping he wouldn't catch the last one as a trick question.
"She is...wa..is twenty-four. Worked here full time and at night school for her nursing degree. My mother, ha-ha I wouldn't know but I really wouldn't doubt it." He told me shaking his head and guzzling the last of his beer before throwing it away.
"Ok well I probably should be getting back with the others, can you lead the way out of this maze for me?" I ask patting the kid on the back.
"Yeah, plus didn't look like the type to want his girl to go missing. Vampires I heard could be kind of possessive!" He smirks at me leading the way out.
Walking back in to the room with everyone I pull him to the side "Here's my number call me if you need anything, and you like the show Moonlight to huh? Well he doesn't give out our real names for certain purposes so lets just keep that to ourselves." Nodding to me and taking the paper with my number on it he smiles and leaves the room. I turn towards the others who are watching me I motion to leave.
"You getting cozy with the young one?" Sarah asks
"I got some interesting information from the kid, probably something Mick St. John didn't get out of the old man." I told her getting in to the front seat of the car waiting for everyone else. The ride back to the the room was quiet which I knew was because I took off with the kid and smelled like beer..but hey if I gave a shit about what they thought I would of said something a while ago. Getting to the room I headed toward the bathroom...
"Oh I don't think so princess you have something to share with us?"
"Nope he's eighteen and is very well endowed!" I say simply wanting to get a rise out of Dean. He just simply shakes his head looking towards Sarah.
"Manda come on you told me you had some information, spill it!" Sarah said annoyed with the way Dean and I were always at each other.
"You guys first" I say plopping down on my bed putting my hands behind my head as I lay down. Sighing Sarah sits down with Sam on her bed while Dean is in the chair next to my bed. "Well Mr. Worthington said that the maid --"
"Lilly" I corrected and waited for him to continue.
"Lilly?" Sam asks
"Yep..continue.." focusing back on to Sarah to finish.
"Ok well Lilly was a student going to night classes at local Community College f--"
"Nursing" I blurt out again, not really meaning to that time but its me and I have no verbal filter.
"Do you want to know or would you just like to tell us what you two talked about?" Sarah snapped at me.
"Sorry my bad..continue.." I tell her as I pull my hand up to my mouth giving her the sign of zipping my mouth shut. She shook her head and continued..
"She was working there for some money to pay for her schooling, was always a big help with taking care of Mark helping him with his school work also keeping him on time to his appointments and practices. He said the two were close, but that everything was fine until one night she never made it back home from school. That was it, and then Mrs. Worthington freaking out when she said she thought she was being followed by Lilly's spirit. His wife was a pill popper and was delusional so they had her committed again to the psych ward. Then of course his wife was strangled to death in her room, which is under investigation, she had hand marks on her throat."
Sitting up I start "Well OK!! So now for what really was going on!!"
Everyone just stares at me annoyed, well except for Sarah she knew I was just being me, loving to know more than others.
"Just get on with please I'm hungry" Dean stated throwing the pillow at me hitting me in the head.
Sticking my tongue out at Dean "Alright ..but there is more, Lilly was sleeping with Mr. Worthington and Mark. It was kind of something 'big' between the two crazy kids! Dad found out about Lilly and Mark and flipped out, probably because she was doing them both. Not to long after mommy dearest found out, went coo coo for coco puffs. When I asked the kid her age and if his mother has anything to do with her disappearance, he said she was twenty-four and that he didn't think so but wouldn't doubt it. He also fought through the words 'is and was' for a few minutes when I asked about her...So our lovely Lilly Vick is dead and our boy knows it. So yes take note that I am the King of this case!" I gloat walking around the room bowing and heading towards the mini fridge to grab a water.
"Yea yea ok so your are 'King' of this case, but you know I am usually so you got lucky!!" Sarah said nodding toward the water I was holding, so I hand her mine and then grab another.
"Not luck my sista, pure and utter skill right here" I said pointing to myself.
"So you did screw the boy, that's just wrong. Gosh sis I thought you had little more class than that, then again he was at least of age!" Sarah remarked at me sarcastically smirking at me.
"Funny Ha-Ha I don't have to sleep with them to get the information, I just choose to sometimes!" I tell her sticking my tongue out at her as she throws her pillow at me.
"Well I'm proud for once you used your mouth for something other tha--" Sarah started before she got hit in the head again with another pillow.
"Shut it closet freak" I yell at her knowing damn well that would get her to shut up. My sister was a good girl, but was a closet freak; you know those ones that are really wild but only come out for a little bit before going back in to hiding.
"Ok so now that we got that out of the way how about pizza? Your paying!" Dean said pointing to me, picking up the phone dialing and ordering three pizza's. The boy's go back in to there rooms not sure really why but I guess showers and to get comfy for the night. Sarah takes her shower and I sit waiting for the pizza kid, flipping through the channels stopping on 'Two and Half Men'.
Laughing my ass off at this the door gets a knock on it, I pull out my gun just in case opening it to see the pizza kid. Giving him the money and shutting the door as the wonderful smell of pizza entered the room, it didn't take but a few seconds later to have Dean and Sam walk in. Sam in his sweat pants and white tee, Dean in jeans and a black shirt from earlier. Sarah comes out with her black night pants and black tank-top, wearing her cute as hell toe socks. Sam notices and smiles at her wiggling his eyes. Dude Sammy has it bad for my sister..how freaking cute!!
"Sweet isn't it?" Dean asks as he nudges me nodding his head in their direction.
"Yea they good together and they don't fight!" I state grabbing one of the slices in his hand and take a bite out of it. "Thanks s'good!" I walk over to my bed a plop on it focusing back on to the show. After about an hour Sam and Sarah were talking about doing some research on some of the stuff that happened when we used our 'gifts'. I could tell Sam had other motives from the small snippets in his mind, he was looking for a way to get Dean out of a deal he made. I'm thinking ten years and he's going to hell.
Not sure why we didn't just tell them what was going on, but maybe she was just afraid like always to tell people we practice magic, and well our gifts as well.
I wonder if we could help him out with his deal, why did he even make the deal in the first place? I mean who is stupid enough to do that...most likely had a good reason but getting a get out of hell free card is slim to none! Shaking away from my thoughts I didn't realize I was staring straight at him.
"Cooper someone on you're mind?" He asked grinning at me, always trying to get a rise and of course I'm gonna bite.
"Gosh you don't stop do you" I whine out at him.
"Not when your staring at me like I'm dessert! Not that I'm complaining.."
"I wasn't --"
"Right well how about that drink?" He asks as he stands and heads toward the door. "Shall we.."
"Why the hell not" I get up grabbing my iPod, and car jack for it "Only because I told you we would after the vampire hunt."
"Right..keep telling yourself that!"
"Wow you really are cocky as hell!!" I tell him "You know what screw the drinks take me for ride I don't feel like getting drunk tonight!"
"Alright, where to?" Dean asks me a little interested in what I had mind.
"The lake not to far from here, think we passed it on the way in." I explain to him as we are pulling out and heading toward the way we came in. Nodding at me he smiles and faces the out the front probably wondering what I was thinking. I really enjoyed being here in Ohio, it was chilly out but just enough for a light jacket or long sleeves. I was wearing a long sleeve shirt with my jeans from earlier and some slippers, yes slippers, cute black and purple fuzzy slippers. "Here OK?" He asks pulling up next to a large tree right near the water.
"Yea, I just love how a full moon looks on the water at night, beautiful and calming." I explain taking my slippers off so I don't get them dirty and then I step out of the car. "Can I play some music from my iPod? We aren't driving and you could use some new music coming out of you're speakers for once" I pretty much all but get down on my knees and beg him.
"Fine, but no Spears shit" he mumbled as I set it up and pressed random "And don't tell Sam I let you do this!" He says whirling me around pulling me in to a kiss. It was passionate and very, very hot, and I just about fell to the ground with rush of his lips against mine.
I pull back "Dean, please...I was planning on doing something else" I back away from him.
"What do you have in mind?" He questions me with a cocky grin again, always in the gutter.
A smile is all I give him when pulling my shirt off leaving me in a bra, he started to walk closer to me "No..You stay..no touching" I tell him as I reach for the buttons on my jeans and slowly unbutton and sliding them down my legs down. There I am standing in my batman boy-short underwear and black bra with little batman symbols each of the breasts. Giving me a lopsided grin, eyes wide and head tilted slightly "You like?"
"There are no words!" He states moving closer to me almost reaching me I put my hand out pushing him back with his chest. I laugh as he stops when drop my hand slowly and give him an evil grin before taking off, running toward the lake and jumping in.
