Sam and Dean had finally called home to say they weren't coming home, but their mom talked them into it and they knew it would be a mistake, but Dean couldn't deny her anything just like he couldn't Sam. They'd taken off that afternoon and went to their parents' house. Dean decided to go out instead of staying in because he was bored and Sam was passed out sleeping. "Tell Sam I'll be back later." He said to his sister as he walked out the back door before driving off.

Sam woke up around seven that night hoping that Dean was there and hadn't taken off like he thought he had, but of course he had. "Great." He groaned going down stairs. "Did he say were he was going?" Sam asked his dad.

"Who?"

"Dean, when he left?" Sam asked

"Ask Amber she was the only one here then." He said before he went out the back door.

"Don't know he just said he'd be back later. Where having dinner outside so come and join us Dean'll be back soon." Amber said "Grab the drinks." She said.

When Sam got outside Dean was just pulling up and he wasn't alone either Bobby was pulling up behind him. Sam smiled leave it to Dean to find somebody they know here. "Where'd you go?" he asked

"See if Mike needed any help and he did so I helped him out and then ran into Bobby on his way here." Dean said. "Got hundred bucks out the job." He said giving Sam fifty bucks. It was kind of a thing they did if they got money they always slit it even if it was ten dollars or less. "If you don't mind he said he needed my help tomorrow too." Dean told him before sitting down.

"We need the cash Dean even if I did mind, which I don't." Sam said.

"I swear you two are like some old married couple." Amber said. "It's cute." She added.

Sam didn't say anything, but Dean did his normal cocky shit. "We can't get married, but thinks sis least we got your vote for it." He said.

"Jerk." Amber told him.

"Brat." Dean said back with a smile.

"Behave you two." Mary said. "Are you two staying the entire time or taking off Christmas night?" She asked

"The day after." Dean said. "We got plans of our own." He told her not making eye contact.



"That's nice, where are you going?" She asked

"We're going to this ski lodge Sam's idea." Dean said.

"You're going together?" she asked. She might know about them and all, but she still was not hundred percent with the flow yet.

"Yeah, kind of a vacation since we both passed all our classes." Sam said. "Dean did great did better than I thought he could." He added

"That's good guess you've both signed up for next semester classes?" Mary asked

"Yes, last week we got three classes together and I got to more law classes. Dean said he found a better job at another garage that works better for his schedule and I got a job working on computers again." Sam said.

"That's nice, you always did like working on your vehicle." She said looking at Dean.

"We're also getting our own place." Sam said. "It's off campus, but still with the college so we can save a little money on things like that. Who knows might even have a real place by next fall."

Dean hadn't said anything he didn't want to cause he was still nervous around them. Sure he had went to college and made it, but he thought they would still see the screw up he used to be before he'd turned things around when he went with Sam to college. "What about you Dean, everything okay with you?" Mary asked her oldest son.

"I'm good." He said.

"Then why don't you tell us about your job." This time it was his dad asking.

"I haven't started the other one till we get back from our trip, but the other one was good. The owner was nice let me work round my schedule, but I couldn't drive hour every day to the job and hour back. Sam found one closer that just opened up." he said.

"That's good, the boss nice?"

"Yeah, I guess, meet him once he kind of liked me and hired me on the spot without looking at the resume."

"I told him it's cause he wants him." Sam said

"Bite me." Dean said.

"Name the time and place." Sam told him.

"I start January 2nd." Dean said.

"Don't classes start back that day?" Mary asked

"No two days later." Sam told her. "We worked everything out on the moving, the trip and coming here." He said.

"I'm glad you two are having fun." She told them before turning to Amber. "So how's things been for you?" she asked

Dean offered to help his mom after dinner, but she got Amber to help her clean up so they could have mother daughter time. He went outside looking for Sam, but instead found his dad. "Running off again?" John asked

"What?"

"Are you running off again like earlier?"

"No, just looking for Sam." He said.

"He's talking to Morgan she just got here." John said talking about his other daughter. "How about we talk, it's been a while." He said handing Dean a beer. "I want bite Dean."

Dean took the beer and sat on the tailgate of his dad's truck before John sat down too. "What you want to talk about?" he asked "Cause I'm sure the shit you asked at dinner isn't what you really wanted to know." He said.

"I gotta hunt and need your help." John told him.

"Guess I should have known you'd try and suck me back into the hunting." Dean told him. "I'm done with it though."

"The hell you are, you remember the deal we made you help or no fucking college." John said.

"I am not hunting anymore I don't give shit what you threaten me with I'm in my twenties dad it doesn't work anymore." He said about to get up.

"You're going to help me, Dean you got it. I can't do this hunt alone and I need you and Bobby." John said.

"I said I'm not doing this dad and that's that." Dean told him pulling away before walking off.

"DEAN."

Dean didn't turn back though he took off in a run throwing his beer bottle down. He wasn't going back to hunting he was done with that life he loved the one he had now and he wasn't giving it up. Sam came outside looking for Dean not finding him he asked his dad. "Where's Dean?"

"Don't know he took off." John said. "Tell him never mind I'll get somebody else to help me if he's going to be a baby about it."

Sam was confused, "What you talking about?"

"The hunt I asked him to help me with."

"You asked him to hunt, no wonder he took off. He doesn't want to do it anymore dad. That life's behind him and me too we're done with it. Now I gotta go find him for he looses it."

Dean didn't know how far he'd run he hadn't stopped till he reached the creek which if he was correct was on the other side of their neighborhood. It was in the woods and he knew he should be out here a night without weapons, but he was pissed off at the moment and needed to cool off.
