"Hey, Mom?" John asked.
"Yeah?" Meredith asked back, as she looked up from the laptop she had on the kitchen table. She was typing away when John came in.
"I'm going out tonight. Is that okay?" he asked.
"Going where?" Meredith asked, suspiciously.
"A party," John replied, trying to shrug it off like it was no big deal. If he did, he knew his mom wouldn't let him go and that was not an option.
"A party, huh?" she asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Yeah. Don't worry, Mom. Yes, there will be alcohol, but I'm not drinking tonight," John lied. "Renee asked me not to so I'm not going to. And then I'm going to crash at one of my buddy's house. Cole's coming too. You can ask him." John knew he could use Cole as an excuse, seeing as Cole would be spending the night at Greer's apartment so John figured, Cole would know that John needed an excuse to be out all night too.
"Huh," Meredith sounded, not completely sold on John's story.
"Dad said it was okay if I went to the party," John said.
"Of course he did," Meredith said back.
"It's New Year's Eve, babe. Let him go to the party," Dean said, coming into the room and leaning down to kiss Meredith on the kitchen before gliding past her. Meredith paused, thinking it over before sighing and finally giving John an answer.
"Just… make smart choices, okay? So I don't have to worry?" Meredith requested.
"Of course, Mom," John said, rolling his eyes when he thought his mom wasn't looking. He hoped that it would throw her off his trail, so he quickly changed the subject. "So what're you and dad's plans for New Year's?"
"Oh, we're just going to go downtown to the New Year's festival," Meredith replied.
"Yeah. You're welcome to join us if you'd like," Dean added.
"What? A romantic evening with you and Mom? I don't think so," John replied, bluntly. "No offense."
"None taken," Dean mumbled.
"You could bring Renee," Meredith offered up. "Besides, Jude and Anna we'll be coming with us along with the Gallaghers."
"Ooh, isn't that going to be awkward for Flynn?" John asked, giving him mom a funny look.
"Oh, he's playing a show with his band tonight," Meredith answered.
"Hey, what happened with that? I thought that was just temporary," Dean asked.
"Turns out he liked it more than he thought and decided to stick with it," Meredith replied.
"Huh," Dean said, nodding slowly.
"Yeah, I think I'm just going to stick with my original plans. Thanks though, guys," John said. There was no way that he was going to miss out tonight, especially since Renee had the house to herself. His friends had been bugging him about going to the party, so he had convinced Renee to go with him to the party even for a little bit.
"Good morning," Greer said, walking past Cole and leaning down to kiss him on the cheek. Her hair was wavy and damp from her shower. She wore some skinny, dark wash blue jeans with a shirt with the Jack Daniels logo on it, cut as a tank top, the arm holes cut low so that she had to wear a bandeau underneath it.
"How was your shower?" Cole asked.
"Fine," she replied with a giggle. "Thank you so much for helping me move in. The place looks really amazing."
"Finally feels like home, huh?" Cole asked.
"Yeah," Greer replied with a smile. She got those giddy butterflies all over again. Greer had never felt like she had a home, but now, she did. She stared up at her Christmas tree, smiling again and thinking about her sweet boyfriend. "So much that I can't even take the tree down. It just adds a whole other layer of hominess to the apartment."
"I'm glad you like it, but you're going to have to take it down at some point," Cole said.
"Okay, yeah, I know that, Mr. Smarty Pants, but I'm not ready. Not yet, at least," Greer said back.
"Hey, are you still okay with going to Chris' party tonight?" Cole asked.
"Yeah, of course," Greer answered.
"Oh okay. We don't have to stay long. We could always come back to your apartment…" Cole trailed off, a smirk beginning to form on his face.
"That is definitely an option," Greer said, returning an equally devious smirk before sitting on his lap, sitting sideways on him and wrapping her arms around his neck.
"Hm. As much as I'd like to stay over tonight, I don't think I can. That or I'll have to leave around one or two. I think my parents are getting suspicious," Cole started.
"But I thought you and your dad had the talk," Greer pointed out.
"Yeah, but I think it's getting to them – the thought of their son staying over at his girlfriend's almost every night," Cole replied. "I just think we should play it safe for the next couple of days. I'll be home, asleep, in my own bed for a couple of days and then the others… we'll figure it out." Greer raised an eyebrow skeptically. "Oh come on! We used to sneak out together anyways!"
"Cole Winchester! Look at you. When I first met you, you played it so safe. I have officially turned you to the dark side," Greer smirked.
Cole laughed, "I wouldn't call it the dark side…"
"It's the dark side," Greer declared.
"Hm… then this whole dark side thing isn't so bad after all," Cole said. Greer just laughed, leaning in and kissing him once. She glanced over at his cereal bowl, a wide smile spreading across her face.
"Ooh, you got Cap'n Crunch? You're the best," she said.
"Yep. It's on the kitchen counter. I forgot to put it away," Cole said back.
"Man, you really do think of everything," Greer said, getting off of Cole's lap and heading over towards the kitchen area.
"I thought I'd bring some breakfast over," Cole replied, contently.
"Good choice," Greer nodded, grabbing a bowl and pouring the cereal into the bowl. She grabbed the milk out of the refrigerator before heading back to the table. She put the stuff down before returning to the kitchen to grab a spoon. She returned to the table, sitting next to Cole and began to fix herself a bowl of cereal.
"Wow, I feel like we've jumped ahead a good ten years," Cole said, glancing around.
"What?" Greer asked.
"You and I in your apartment… alone. I'm constantly reminding myself that we're still sixteen and juniors in high school," Cole replied.
Greer shrugged, "It is an adult lifestyle, I suppose."
"You suppose?" Cole asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Okay, it is. A lot. But that's just what I'm used to. I don't know. I don't think I'd want it any other way," Greer replied. Cole nodded in acceptance of his answer. Part of him questioned how fast they were taking this relationship. For some reason, he felt like he was already moving in with her and it was a scary thought. He really liked her, but still. It was a big step. And a scary one at that. At least going to the party tonight would remind him of being a kid… right?
Renee had been fluttering from groups of people the entire party. She had made sure to say hit to the majority of her friends before settling down and finding John. John was with a group of guy friends with a couple of girls in the mix. Tom's girlfriend, Sarah was hanging all over him, while Jamie and Dani were in the group as well. Since when did Jamie hang out with John's friends? She was always at the front of a group of cheerleaders, but now… Renee shook the thought from her head. She knew she had nothing to worry about.
"Hey," she said, coming over to him.
"You okay?" John asked, leaning over toward Renee.
"Yeah, I'm fine, why?" Renee asked.
"Just asking. You're quite the social butterfly tonight," he replied.
"Only to the sober ones," Renee joked.
"You see Cole and Greer yet?" John asked.
"Yeah, earlier, but I said that I'd go back. Greer said she had to ask me something. I'll be back," Renee replied. She pulled away from him before beginning to search the busy house. Okay, so Greer didn't actually have to ask her anything, but she didn't want to be around John's fratty, sports-playing friends and their clingy, or just downright stuck up girlfriends. She knew most of them were intoxicated by now and didn't like them when they were sober either.
"Hey, thank God you're here. I don't know how much longer I can stand being around people like this. I mean, I'm all for a party but I forgot how lame high school parties get. Loaded horny high school boys? No thank you," Greer said, causing Renee to turn around.
"I know, right? I'm glad I'm not the only one feelings this way…" Renee agreed.
"I don't know. You looked like you were working the room earlier," Greer pointed out.
Renee shrugged, "Not really…"
"Hey, you may not think it, but you are kind of miss popular," Greer said.
"What?" Renee exclaimed.
"You're friends with everybody! And I don't think I've ever heard anyone say something mean about you," Greer explained.
"Ah, well, if it were up to me, I would've had a nice, quiet night in instead of being 'miss popular'," Renee replied. "See, I'm quite antisocial."
"This was John's idea?" Greer asked.
"Yeah," Renee answered.
"Weird. I don't know why, but Cole was so insistent on coming tonight," Greer said.
"Him too? So was John," Renee said back. "That is weird."
"Yeah. I'm sure they have their reasons," Greer said. "Anyways, we should be heading back soon. Sorry to leave you like this."
"No, it's fine. I may actually leave a little early and wait for him at home," Renee said.
"You guys didn't come together?" Greer questioned.
Renee shook her head, "Nope. I talked to him before and said that it was possible that I'd leave early so we agreed to take separate cars and just meet here and then meet back at my house when the night was over."
"Renee Walsh, you saucy minx! You've got the house to yourself all weekend…. Don't tell me you're planning on seducing John tonight," Greer teased, playfully.
"That's exactly what I plan on doing tonight," Renee replied.
"Well, look at you. Again, never expected this from you," Greer said.
"Why does everyone seem so surprised?" Renee asked, lightheartedly.
"Because you're sweet. Like Cole and he was a virgin. That is, until I got my hands on him… literally," Greer smirked. Renee laughed. And right on cue, Cole came over.
"Hey, you ready to go?" Cole asked, coming up behind Greer and wrapping an arm around her waist. She shot a look at
"That's my cue to leave," Greer said, wiggling her eyebrows suggestively as she began to walk out with Cole. Renee just laughed before going back into the living room where she last saw John. She saw him still talking with his friends, a cup of beer in his hands and walked over to him. As soon as John saw her, he smiled and wrapped an arm around her shoulders.
"Can I talk to you?" she asked.
"Yeah, what's up?" John asked. "Sorry, guys. One second." John pulled away from the group of friends he was talking to, to speak to Renee alone.
"I'm probably going to head out now. I'll see you later?" Renee started.
"Already?" John asked.
Renee nodded, "Yeah. I should get home. I thought I'd make some dinner for us."
"Aw, babe, you don't have to," John started.
"No, no, no. It's all a part of my plan for tonight," Renee replied, biting her lip.
"Plan?" John smirked.
"Mhm. Don't be too long, okay?" Renee asked, leaving John hanging. She knew it'd get him home sooner if she did.
"Y-yeah," John stammered, his mind too distracted with trying to figure out what she was planning… and imagining the possibilities. Renee kissed him once, shortly, before turning around and leaving the party.
John remained standing there. Damn, he wanted to chase after her and just leave with her right then, but then again she had a plan… and he didn't want to ruin that surprise, right?
Renee grabbed her coat and hurried down the steps and out of the door. There were two girls passing by her as she was on her way out, and she couldn't help listening to what they were saying.
"Yeah, good for Jamie. She told me she's making her move tonight," the girl said.
"Oh my God, what?" the other asked back, in surprise.
"Yeah, she invited John to the party so that she could get him back. And he showed up. He must still want her," the first girl said, before the exchanged a giggle, not even bothering to look at Renee. With these words, Renee felt her heart drop. Was that why John was so insistent on coming to the party? She shook her head, not even knowing what to think, and hurried to her car.
John stayed for an hour longer, before heading to the bedroom upstairs where everyone had put their coats. He was wary about going up there due to the fact that he thought people might be in that room doing God knows what. He opened the door and flicked on the light, surprised to see no one there.
"Huh," he sounded before walking over the bed and sorting through the coats to find his leather jacket.
"Looking for something?" he heard a voice ask. He turned around to see Jamie in the doorway, leaning up against the door frame.
"Nope. Found it!" he said, holding up his jacket.
"Look, can we talk?" she asked.
"About what?" John asked back, playing dumb.
"About us," Jamie answered.
"Us?" John asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Yeah, I'm glad we could make peace. You know, be friends. I'd hate to graduate with you mad at me. You're so hot," she smirked, making a move on him.
"Woah! Jamie, what the hell are you doing?" John exclaimed, pushing her off of him.
"What?" she asked innocently.
"I have a girlfriend," he demanded.
"So? Everyone knows that you can't keep a girlfriend, John. Hell, if I couldn't be your girlfriend, there's no way you could stick to someone else. You're not a one woman guy, John. Let's just face it," she said, moving towards him again.
"Jamie, stop it. You're drunk-," John started.
"I'm not drunk, John. I know what I want," she said, biting her lip.
"I can't," John said, moving halfway across the room to get away from her.
Jamie pouted, "You came to the party. I asked you to and you came. You still have feelings for me. Admit it."
"I didn't come to this party for you," John said, marching towards the door, careful to avoid her. By now, Jamie had gotten the message. She just stood there, a hurt look in her eyes. John felt bad, but he really couldn't console her. She'd get the wrong idea, and besides, he had told her 'no' multiple times.
"Why her? Just tell me that," Jamie asked, defeated.
"I love her. I'm in love with her," John replied, before finally leaving.
The door opened and John smiled, seeing Renee standing in the door way. She stepped aside to let him in, closing the door behind him.
"Hey," he said, leaning in to kiss her once.
"Hi," she said back. Renee stood there nervously. John noticed this and stopped too. "Can I ask you something?"
"Yeah," John replied.
Renee took a deep breath before asking the question, "Why did we go to this party tonight?"
"What do you mean?" John asked, confused.
"I mean… why did we go? You seemed like you really wanted to. So why?" Renee asked.
"Wait, are you asking me why I wanted to go to a party? A party's a party, Renee. Because it's New Year's Eve and I figured it'd be fun," John replied.
"Are you sure that's the only reason?" Renee asked. She honestly didn't care how bad it was. She just wanted him to be honest with her. They could fix things from there but if he lied to her? She wasn't quite sure what to do with that.
"Wh-, yeah!" John replied.
"So… it had nothing to do with Jamie inviting you to the party, right?" Renee asked.
"What? Who- who said that?" John asked.
"I heard some people talking about. They were saying that Jamie was planning on getting you back and asked you to come to the party," Renee replied.
"I mean, yeah. She invited me but I didn't go because of her!" John protested.
"What? You didn't think that after the locker thing and what she said to me that showing up wouldn't be sending her the wrong message?" Renee asked. John stood there in silence.
"Well, I thought about it-," he started.
"Well do you?" Renee asked.
"Do I what?" John asked.
"Do you still have feelings-," Renee started.
"How can you even ask me that?" John exclaimed.
"Wh-, how can I even ask you that? John, you showed up at a-," Renee began.
"I'm with you. I love you, Renee. Do you know how hard that is for me to say? This is- you're my… first real relationship I've ever had. I'm not usually, I don't do this whole dating thing but I am because I love you," John said in disbelief that Renee even doubted the way he felt about her. "You know what, if you don't feel the same-."
"John, don't be stupid!" Renee sighed.
"What so now I'm stupid? First I'm a cheater and now-," he started.
"You have a track record. Like you said. You've never been a one woman guy," Renee snapped.
"What? You think I'm going to cheat on you?" John asked.
"John, I don't want to do this right now. Just get out," Renee huffed, walking away.
"If I'm so horrible, why are you with me then?" John demanded.
"Because!" Renee shouted back at him. "John, I'm not in the mood to do this."
"No, I asked you a question. Do you really think I'd cheat on you?" he asked.
"Leave! Just go!" she exclaimed.
"No!"
"John!"
"I'm not leaving you!" John finally yelled. Renee turned away, rolling her eyes and sighing. She ran her hand through her hair and when she returned to John, they both knew that there was no way he'd be leaving. She charged towards him, as he pulled her in his arms and she kissed him passionately. He kissed her back, equally passionate, as they clumsily tumbled over towards the living room couch.
Downtown, the Gallagher family and the majority of the Winchesters were gathered for the New Year's event, where the city had their equivalent to the Times Square dropping of the ball at midnight. It was getting close to midnight, and Flynn and some of his friends had showed up thirty minutes ago.
Victoria glanced over at her brother who was talking to Tyler which was such a weird site. She only hoped her brother wouldn't scare Tyler off.
"Oh and by the way, when midnight hits, I'd go with minimum PDA so our dad doesn't flip," Jude advised. Victoria laughed, rolling her eyes playfully.
"I picked a good one, huh?" Anna asked, jokingly, leaning over to Victoria.
"Oh, yes. By the way, I'm glad you decided to come home with Jude. He really cares about you, you know?" Victoria asked.
"Yeah?" Anna asked back.
"Yeah," Victoria answered.
"I should probably relieve your boyfriend though. I'll go get Jude," Anna said.
"Thank you," Victoria sighed with relief.
"Hey," Haley said, as soon as Anna left. Haley stood there, and Victoria noticed the glance she threw over to Owen.
"What was that?" Victoria asked.
"What?" Haley asked.
"Nothing. What's going on with you and Owen these days?" Victoria asked, not so subtly.
"I don't know. After the masquerade, we've just been hanging out. Friends, you know?" Haley asked back.
"What and it's been two months and you still haven't said anything?" Victoria asked.
"Victoria!" Haley exclaimed.
"What? It's obvious that you two are into each other," Victoria replied. Haley just shrugged, glancing over at Owen again.
"Go," Victoria said.
"What?" Haley asked, turning to her cousin.
"Owen. You've been making eyes at him since he got there. Now go," Victoria encouraged.
"10 seconds, kiddos. Get ready for the new year," Jude said, interrupting their conversation.
"Really?" Haley asked.
"Yes. Now go!" Victoria encouraged, gently pushing her cousin in the direction of Owen.
"Hey, you," Tyler said, coming up behind Victoria and wrapping an arm around her waist.
"Hey," she smiled, turning around to look at him.
"5, 4, 3…" everyone began to chant. Victoria watched as her cousin tapped Owen on the shoulder as Owen turned around to look at her.
"2, 1!" To both Victoria and Haley's surprise, Owen leaned down and kissed her right as the clock struck midnight.
"Happy New Year," Tyler said. Victoria smiled, kissing him lightly.
"Don't worry. I heard my brother's PDA note," she said. Tyler laughed.
"Your brother's a character," Tyler said.
"Oh, I know," she chuckled.
"Happy New Year," Renee said, giddily. She and John had moved to her bedroom earlier on and were tangled up in the sheets of her bed.
"Happy New Year to you too," John smirked. "Wow."
"Yeah… why did we wait that long?" Renee asked in disbelief.
"I don't know… we were over thinking it. Trying to take things slowly," John answered.
"Yeah, I never want to do that again," she said, laughing. She groaned. "I can't believe we had fight sex before we had real sex."
"I think that counts as real sex," John smirked. She laughed, seeing that handsome smirk on his face. "I don't even know what we were fighting about. Petty things…"
"Yeah, petty things. Jamie… and my trust issues…" Renee sighed.
"I'm sorry," John said. "If I ever made you doubt me – I'm sorry."
"No, it's not you. It's… it's just Jamie. I know she's going after you and it's just… scary because I know you've never really done this whole relationship thing before. I'm afraid of losing you, John, because I've never felt this way about anyone before," Renee said.
"You won't lose me. Look, I don't want to worry you, but she came on to me, earlier, at the party. Nothing happened and I think she got the message this time that she needs to leave me alone," John said back.
"What'd you say to her?" Renee asked, curiously.
"I told her that I love you," John replied simply.
Renee nodded, "Yep, that'll really throw a slut off your trail."
"Renee!" John exclaimed, amused.
"What? She's slutty!" Renee protested, playfully.
John just chuckled, "Come here." Renee curled up to him and they just lay there together. "You're right. She is."
"I told you so," Renee said playfully, rubbing it in.
"Yeah, whatever," John replied, rolling his eyes jokingly. She giggled before kissing him once more.
