Sam
and Marty were asleep in the back seat. Marty has instantly fell
asleep or passed out. Jane was leaning against the window staring.
She had stopped crying but never said anything. Dean would
occasionally glance over at her to see if she was sleeping but she
just sat there. It was driving him inane. Driving in silence. Usually
he had some music playing or he would be talking with Sam, but he was
a sleep in the back. He had to break the silence something!!
"Hey."
He said glancing over at Jane. "You okay?" Jane sat up and
looked down at her hands in her lap.
"Ya know. By asking me
that isn't going to make me feel any better." She simply stated
and looked up out the front window.
Dean just nodded and looked
forward.
"I'm sorry. It's just been a very crazy day."
She said looking at Dean. He could see the pain and confusion in her
eyes.
"I understand. I've had those days. A lot." He
said smiling and looking at her.
"I don't even know your
name." She said smiling for a couple seconds.
"Dean.
Dean Winchester." He said looking forward
"Hm. I've
heard that name before." She said looking forward. "A man
came through the diner once, and I think his name was Winchester. He
was talking with another man, and they were talking about a Dean and
Sam. I don't know." She said looking down at her hands. "He
also saved my life. I'm a damsel in distress a lot when I am working
at the diner." She said and smiling for another few seconds,
then noticed Deans face of amazement. She looked away thinking she
said something wrong.
"What did this man look like? Tall,
brown hair, looks like he hasn't shaved in a long time?" Dean
said glancing from the road to Jane.
"Um. Yea. I think his
name was john. I think I'm not sure. Why? Did I day something wrong?"
She said looking at Dean confused.
"No, it's just I know him.
Haven't seen him in a while. I- son of a bitch." He whispered
the last part to himself.
"Oh." She said and looked out
the window.
"You didn't say anything wrong. Sorry for
interrogating you like that" He said realizing this conversation
did not turn out the way he wanted it too.
"Its ok." She
stated and the conversation ended.
They ended up stopping two
hours out at a random hotel. Dean was the only one awake. Sam and
Marty were still asleep in the back and Jane eventually fell asleep.
He turned the car off and turned around to wake up Sam. "Sam.
Sammy!" he whispered to Sam shaking him.
"Huh?! What?!"
Sam said waking up suddenly.
"Dude, be quiet. I'm going to
get a hotel. Okay so get her and I will be right back." Dean
said and moved the driver's seat up so Sam could get out. Dean met
Sam at the hotel to unlock the door. Sam was carrying Marty in his
arms. Dean went back to the impala to get Jane. He slowly opened the
door slowly because she was leaning against it. He caught her and
picked her up closing the door with his foot. The room door was
opened and he saw Marty and Sam asleep on opposite sides of the same
bad. Dean just stopped and looked at them. "Awkward" he
said and sat Jane down on the bed underneath the covers. He
positioned himself on the nearest chair. He leaned back and closed
his eyes.
"Dean" a sleepy Jane said. "What are you
doing?" She said. Dean opened his eyes and saw her looking at
him.
"Well it looked like I was about to go to sleep"
Dean said confused.
"No I mean, why you are sleeping in that
uncomfortable chair?" she asked trying to keep her eyes open to
look at him.
"Well I mean, umm" he said
"Dean I
don't bite." She said as she moved to one side of the bed to
make room for him. Dean stared at her and her to him. "Please?"
She asked. Dean stared at her a little longer until he gave in and
took his leather jacket and boots off and lay on top of the covers on
the bed.
"Thanks." She said very sleepily.
"For
what?" he asked with his hands folded behind his head.
"For
saving me. Ya know. It was very brave. Only a few would have the guts
to do that." She said closing her eyes.
"You're
welcome." He said and they both fell asleep.
Jane
woke up to a cell phone ringing. She rubbed her eyes and sat up. She
looked around at the hotel trying to figure out what happened. She
looked towards the door and saw Dean's jacket on the chair. Then she
remembered. She looked at the other bed seeing Marty still sleeping.
She walked towards the bathroom and looked in the mirror. She looked
like hell. She tried to make herself look a little decent. She heard
some come into the room and she got real quiet and listened.
"Sh!
Shut up she is still sleeping!" Sam whispered to Dean.
"Sorry.
Wait where...?" Dean said trying to figure out where Jane was,
when she walked out of the bathroom "..oh hey." He said
smiling.
"Hey. Um, exactly what state are we in?" She
asked looking at them, but mostly Dean.
"Um..." Dean
said trying to look around the room to give him some kind of hint as
to where they were.
"I think we are in Maryland. Um when I
went to get coffee there was a gift shop with a bunch of Maryland
things" Sam said motioning towards the door.
"Oh."
She said rubbing her head. "I think I'm going to go get some
coffee. Where did you say it was?" She said asking Sam
"Down
the stairs and right next to the gift shop." He said as Dean and
Sam parted so she could pass between them. She walked by them and
smiled at Sam and smiled even more at Dean, and with that she walked
out the door.
Jane walked down the stairs and towards the gift
shop. She looked around in the gift shop sipping her coffee when she
decided to go back up. When she got there she leaned over the
banister to look out at the scenery. She thought about where Barb
was. She would have come back. Well she couldn't now could she. The
diner burnt down and she and Marty were in Maryland of all places.
She had no idea what to do now. It was weird being with these guys
she has never met.
Dean stood up and walked towards the door.
"Dean, where are you going?" Sam asked looking up from
his laptop.
"Out I guess. I'm bored. Call me when you got
something." Dean said looking at Sam.
"What are we going
to do about?" Sam said motioning to Marty and then the
door.
"Dude, I don't even know" He said sighing. "I
mean what do you want to leave them on the side of the road with a
$20?" He said joking
"You know what I mean." Sam
said being serious, "They seemed to know what they were doing"
Sam continued
"Wait! You're not seriously considering"
Dean asked Sam in confusion,
"Dean, they have nowhere to go!
What are we suppose to do?" Sam asked Dean who was looking at
his brother in amazement.
"Sam. Just what are you thinking?
That's..." he said and sighed heavily.
Marty began to stir in
the bed and Sam quickly stood up with his laptop and moved it to the
other bed.
"I need a drink." Dean stated and walked out
the door.
Sam stood there and walked to the other side of the bed
to face her. She rubbed her face and opened her eyes and jumped up
real quick when she saw Sam. She stared at him with wide eyes.
"Hey."
Sam said smiling "How are you feeling?" He said narrowing
his eyes then smiling again.
"Oh my god." She said
grabbing her arm where the bullet from the previous day grazed her.
She squealed and bit her lip.
"Let me see it." Sam said
taking the bandage off to look at it. "It's not that bad. It
should heal fine" He said Wrapping it back up and smiling at
her. Marty smiled back.
Dean walked out of the room and was
planning on going to find a bar but saw Jane up ahead and changed his
mind. This was weird usually he would be hitting on her it would make
her head spin, but this whole situation made him feel differently. He
had a feeling that some pizza, six-pack, and side one of zeppelin
four wasn't going to work. He leaned against the railing next to
her.
"See anything interesting" he said
"pft.
Ha. Oh yea." She said very sarcastically.
"So ... about
yesterday. That was pretty amazing, ya know with that vampire."
He said turning o face her.
"Oh yea. Didn't look like I was
doing so hot, before hand." She said looking down.
"Yea.
So how did you get into hun--"he said but she cut him off?
"I
don't." she stated. "I did a long time ago." Looking
up at him.
"Mind me asking why you stopped?" he asked
looking back at her
"Um some very close to me sacrificed
themselves to save me. So I'm really not even supposed to be here."
She said looking down. They stood there in silence. She stood up
right and wiped away the tears before they fell. "God! I'm
sorry! I'm such a sap!" She said laughing.
"No, it's
cool. But I have to ask. Wouldn't you want revenge?" He asked
"That's exactly what Marty asked me. I just want to have
little as possible to do with hunting anymore. Even if that means
working at the diner for the rest of my life, while hunters come
through hitting on me all the time. I'm safe ya know. I don't have to
worry about what's behind me, or where to go next." She said
looking at Dean. They stared at each other for a while.
"You
don't feel safe?" Still staring at Jane
"No don't get me
wrong I do. Barb has watched out for me for a long time, but I don't
know, it's the whole comfort issue." She said turning away.
"Is
there anywhere I can take you and your friend since your place kinda
blew up" Dean asked looking back out to the scenery over the
banister.
"Um don't worry about it. We can get ourselves
there." She said
"No. Me and Sam drove you out of
Virginia. The least I can do is taking you guys someplace where you
can go." He said looking at her.
"Well it's a long trip
there." She said smirking as the sun shined on her face.
"I'm
willing to do that" He said smiling. Jane smiled back.
