It was a long night for Dean and an even longer night for Hailie. She cried the whole night long and even though she managed to fall asleep, she would wake up in hopes that Jared had not really left and that it was all a dream. It broke Dean's heart everytime he had to tell her that Jared was really gone and probably not coming back.
By morning Deans eyes were bloodshot and his head was filled with guilt and annoyance. At the moment Hailie was sleeping and Dean was waiting for when she would wake up and ask once again where Jared was. He hated himself, how could he go and do that to the man that loved him? Dean felt utterly terrible and nothing in the world could fix this.
Jared was out driving around to look at apartments, he bought one that had two bedrooms just in case he would see Hailie again and have her sleep over. If he did see Dean and Hailie again it would be too soon. Jared grabbed his bag and walked into the two bedroom apartment that had bright red walls. Red was Jared's favorite color, which is why when he saw this apartment he was keen on getting it. He decorated the apartment with some drawings Hailie had made for him. He had to go shopping for food and while he was shopping he had bumped into Sam.
"Sam, hey." Jared said quietly to the brown haired man who had his arm wrapped tightly around the blonde haired beauty.
Sam turned around and smiled pulling Jared into a hug. "Hey J. What's been up? I haven't seen you in a while."
"I know, just came out to get some groceries for my place. I have nothing to eat yet." Jared chuckled putting some broccoli into his cart and looking through the condiments for salt.
"Oh? Isn't Dean always prepared with that stuff because of Hailie?" Sam asked leaning on a shelf that held the condiments.
"I'm not living with Dean anymore." Jared said with his jaw clenched tightly. His black hair was covering the glare in his blue eyes.
"Really?" Sam asked questioningly.
"Yeah, I found him in a car last night with some girl." Jared said with a sad tone in his voice, playing with the salt that had gotten into his hand. "I left and I am not going back. There is no reason for me to go back to Dean. Our family is not a family anymore."
Sam was taken aback by the anger in Jared's voice, but he was even more shocked to know that Dean had cheated on the man he loved, the man that loved him and wanted to be a part of his and his daughters life. "I'm sorry J."
"What's done is done. Excuse me though. I have to go home, eat, and research for a hunt to go and take my mind off the problems at hand." Jared walked away before Sam could say anything else to him. He didn't want to hear what Sam would have to say about him leaving, he didn't want a guilt trip from anyone for leaving that little girl behind. All he could think now, no matter how wrong it was. That little girl was not his daughter, not his responsibility, not anything. It was going to stay that way.
