AN: I would like to thank the people who took time to review. Thanks to everyone! Please keep reviewing I like knowing what I do right or wrong and as my friend put it once. Reviews are like crack. It's funny, but I hope you enjoy this chapter. I own nothing of Supernatural and if I did there would be a lot more shirtless Dean.
The Truth…More or Less
I was in the hospital for a couple days after that fun experience. I had three broken ribs and my back apparently hit the wall weird or something because I got stuck wearing a brace for a month and a half. I looked like a bent stick in the hospital bed and refused to see anyone that wasn't family which was only three people so I was set. The doctor said only one at a time so I didn't get overwhelmed which was really stupid. I was perfectly fine except for all the medical problems. Dad came to visit most of the time, but one the offhand I was graced with the presence of a Winchester it was usually about Ben.
"Liz, I know what it's like to trust somebody and then have them stab you in the back. I had a friend who I trusted and she ended up using me to…well…start the apocalypse." Sam started. "You can't hold a grudge against Ben. It's not his fault he was possessed."
"You know I've been doing some figuring. Dean and Lisa had a total thing. Ben's technically his son now and if I continue to date him it's just going to end up being really weird. I think this is best for both of us. In a few weeks when I'm out of this bed I will gladly drive away to any run down town and try not to get killed." I said not really wanting to talk about Ben. Ever.
Sam left the chair and walked out. I know he was trying to help but he wasn't. He just kinda made things a lot worse. I had been feeling good today maybe even willing to walk down the hall with this metal cage on but now I wanted to be left alone to cry in my hospital bed, but that's why hospitals had visiting hours so after they end the people can feel bad for themselves and cry about everything. Dean was next to bat.
"How ya feelin' Lizzie?" Dean asked at least trying to break the ice unlike Sam who just dove in to his lecture.
"Felling about as good as I'll get sitting in this god forsaken place." I said not really able to move to well.
"That's good. You know Ben was asking about you." He said with caution.
"Well that's fine and dandy." I said sounding slightly angry.
"You know it's not his fault right? He really is scared for you." Dean said keeping his caution.
"Well peachy. You know I really could care less. I threw me at a freakin' wall." I said sounding bitter.
"That was Meg. Ben just wants to know if you're ok."
"Well I'm peachy why don't you go tell him that."
"Seriously give the kid a break. He just got over being possessed and he wants to know if his girlfriend is alright." Dean said a little too mean.
"Well you know what? Tell him I'm tired, feel like crap, and wouldn't mind if my idiot cousins would stop bringing him up within the same fifteen minutes! I don't know if you know what it feels like to have everything fall apart in the same God damn week! So just shut up and leave me alone alright!" I started to yell and by the end I felt the tears and sadness that came with that rage.
I was crying desperately wanting to be turned on my side away from the door so that anyone who walked by wouldn't notice my sobs. I saw my dad walk in from the corner of my eye. I didn't notice he had someone with him till they were practically right on top of me.
"Just leave me alone." I said trying but failing to turn to the side away from Ben who looked like he had heard both of my awkward conversation with the boys.
"I can't. I-I just want to let you know that…that the demon was lying about a lot of stuff." He said just before he leaned down and tried to kiss me but hit his head on the brace. "Damn it!" He said quietly readjusting to where he didn't hit his head. He kissed me and it was magic. That's all I can say about it. No matter how angry I was at the world I couldn't be mad at him in that moment. "See?" He asked as he carefully pulled back.
"Yeah…but doesn't mean you're off the hook about this brace crap." I said with a smile.
"How about I take you out. Say in a month or so to the winter formal?" He said with a smile.
"Sounds good but no trying to kill each other. Deal?"
"Deal. Now get some sleep. You look like hell."
"I wonder why?" I asked as he walked out.
"Sleep kiddo. I'll chat with you once ya get up." Dad said kissing my forehead and following Ben to the hallway.
My thoughts felt a little better but sleep wouldn't come. Not for a while. I could already see that. I tried to keep my mind on all the good things but there wasn't a lot of good to keep my busy mind occupied. My thoughts soon ran to Dad and what was going to happen to him and it seemed like it was all my fault. How I would end up breaking Ben's heart when Dad decided that we should move to another case. What was going to happen to our little family once we left here? Everything was hectic and I couldn't seem to make things fit, but luckily I had lots of time to hide out in this hospital to try and figure it out.
