"Eventually..." I shouted as Dean caught up to me by the sign that welcomed everyone to Forks, stopping right next to my car.
"B, why didn't you go in? You knew we were quite a way behind!"
"I couldn't... Too many memories and I didn't want to deal with them alone, you know. Charlie's gone and it seemed strange to step back into Forks, the place he spent most of his life in, alone. I think I just miss him, so much. I've had so little time to comprehend everything and no one to take my mind of it, seeing as though you had to take Sammy, who wouldn't leave Leah and Cas had to go do some Angel crap!"
And it was true, I did miss Charlie. He was the only thing that kept me two feet to the ground throughout my life and now he was gone, and because of me.
"Sorry Baby Girl, but my brother does not leave my side. At least this way I have someone to answer my calls, write notes and jot things down about how fantastic I am. He's like a fan girl and a receptionist all rolled into one!" Dean cooed, pretending to be the all loving brother.
"Hey Jerk, I hate you," We hear shouted through the car window from Sam.
"Bitch," was Dean's ever so expected reply. "So are we going to go in, or stand here all day?"
"Can you come in the car with me? I don't want to be alone," I whispered, looking up at Dean through my eyelashes.
"But the impala- my baby- who'll drive her? I can't let Sammy drive her!" He sounded panicked like only Dean could when it came to his car.
"Please Dean!" I begged, looking up at him and showing him I needed his help with my eyes alone.
"Fine, I'll make Sammy drive but if there is one scratch on the paintwork of my beauty well... Sammy will not live a minute longer!" He quickly turned back to me, "sorry! Words of bad taste-"
I sat back in the car, this time in the passenger seat, knowing it was one thing to take Dean out of his car and a whole other thing to take him out of the driving seat. It didn't take him long to return, jumping into the seat and starting the car, and neither of us felt the need to make small talk as we made our way back into the green wonderland that I once called home; the wonderland that holds the mythical creatures of the world in it's small space.
Trees passed and many people turned to face the unknown car; being such a small place this new car was probably the most interesting thing that has happened in the past week, other than the death of the Chief of Police.
"It's really happening isn't it?" I whispered to myself more than anyone else but Dean still answered with a quiet "it sure is".
Things used to be easy, my world used to be black and white but then, in this last week, my world has gone up in flames. I am seeing colours that I never knew existed and feeling emotions I haven't felt in such a long time. I now understand the meaning of a full family, because Sam, Dean and now Leah are my true family. I understand the meaning of love, because Castiel came and chose me, because Edward was nothing but a distraction or a meaningless crush. I understand the feeling of loss and of guilt because I have lost the one person that stood by me always, the person that died because of me.
And now, I also understood the definition, the meaning of life; and it is life fucks everyone.
The car jolted to a stop and I slowly looked up to see the house of my past, the house where my Father almost his whole life.
"Shall we go inside?" Dean asked me, his eyes showing the same pain I feel.
"May as well," I said, adding false confidence to my voice. "No reason for us to sit in the car all day." We slowly got out the car and stood each by our door, staring at the house that belonged to the recently deceased. "What's the town story on Charlie's death?"
"There is no real story, just a lot of rumours," a new voice said, Leah. She had just got out of the car and had probably heard the whole conversation a mile away, and picked up on the whispers in town just by driving through it. "Some people say he went mad after you left and killed himself while others think he was murdered. People were waiting for you to turn up as well. They want to know the truth and find out why you left."
I just shook my head and walked towards the front door, caressing the frame before snatching the spare key from the underneath of one of the many plant pots, lining the small porch. "Come on in then, we have much to find out in around half an hour."I checked my watch quickly. "That gives up till quarter past."
"Why do you think we only have half an hour?" Sam asked, making Leah smirk. These two boys could be so oblivious to small town life, but then again, they never truly life a proper life, never staying in one place long enough to understand the life of a town.
"People are probably expecting me to come home for the funeral of my Father. He already had his funeral planned, just in case, so there is nothing for me to do but turn up. As soon as they notice a car in the drive, the will wait around a half hour before coming to investigate."
Explaining small town life is easy, because they are all so easily distracted, looking for the newest piece of gossip as soon as they can.
"But you two boys might want to be careful!" I warned. "There are many leeches in this town and I do not mean vampires, I mean women who will attack you as you turn a corner and Dean, I tell you and you alone this. Do not have sex with anyone here. The only ones who will try it on with you will be the bikes I used to know and if you really must do not go anywhere near Lauren Mallory or Jessica Stanley!"
"It's now Jessica Newton," Leah interrupted. "They got married a few years back, about a year after you left."
"And this is why we are sitting here! I need to know everything that has happened here in the past two years, I do not feel like being bombarded with gossip from other people and I just need the basics. Enough to get me through a week here, until we get the trail of the demon that killed Charlie. Begin?"
Both guys sighed, sitting back and closing their eyes as if to sleep but it didn't last long after Leah began telling the main events in the life of Forks.
Once again, I am so sorry! I am still ill and am getting my test results back and have needed to focus on school but now that the tests are over you should be getting more scheduled updates.
