Ok so Jealous but really insecure Dean and Jo being a b**ch again
Dean woke up again a few hours later and there was no Jess in the bed next to him, glancing at the clock he saw it was 8 o'clock. Stretching, Dean sat up out of bed and strolled to the kitchen expecting to see Jess there but she wasn't, he figuring she must be in the shower. Making a fresh cup of coffee for himself, Dean sat down at the kitchen table while he waited for the toaster to pop up his breakfast. As he was getting up to fix his breakfast the front door clicked open, frowning Dean walked to the hall and paused. There stood Jess, in pair of shorts and Zeppelin t-shirt, hair up in a pony tail and her face flushed, she had obviously been training. Dean felt the heat rise to his face, Jessie's back was turned to him and she was stretching out her arms and shoulders.
He smirked and walked up behind her, wrapping his arms around her waist and gently kissing the back of her neck. Jess smiled and leaned back into Dean's chest, until she remembered she was all sweaty.
"I'm all icky Hotstuff" Jess said trying to pull away, Dean just tighten his arms around her and pulled her flash against his front, resting his chin on her shoulder.
"Don't care" he murmured.
Jess smiled and linked her fingers through his around her waist, turned her head and kissed him on the cheek.
"So...what you get up to?" Dean asked
"I went for a run, woke up early this morning, had itchy feet" she smiled
"No more dreams?"
"Nope dream free after we went to bed"
"Good" Dean mumbled against the skin of her shoulder.
They stood like that for a few minutes until Jess decided she wanted a shower, they heard moving around up stairs as well and assumed Charley and Sam were up.
"Right, I'm going for a shower" Jess said pulling away from Dean again, he turned her around in his arms and gave her a proper good morning kiss.
"Need any help?" he wiggled his eye brows, Jessie just smiled and arched a brow.
"Hmmmm..." she pretended to contemplate "...do I need help lathering my wet body with soap in a steamy hot shower..." she bit her lip and then glanced at Dean again, they both knew they wouldn't do anything like that in Bobby's house, but damn did she paint a good picture.
Dean huffed good naturedly "Tease", giving her one last kiss before she strolled to the bathroom, echoes of her giggles following him back into the kitchen to his now cold breakfast.
Charley practically came skipping down the stairs, and gave Dean a cheerful smile. "Morning Dean" she hummed as she pottered around the kitchen making her breakfast.
"Someone's in a good mood" Dean smirked, Charley just sent him another smile.
Sam came down then, nicked a slice of Deans toast and went over to kiss Charley's head good morning.
"Hay get your own" Dean said Sam just smiled and went to make coffee, Dean mumbling under his breath about people being to cheerful in the mornings. Jess came back fresh and clean, hair still wet form the shower and grabbed a coffee.
"Morn'in guys"
"You've had your shower and all Jessie?" Sam asked, Dean pointed at her
"She's been up for a run and all man, makes me feel lazy"
"I would have went with you babe" Charley said
"Nah baby girl its cool. I was awake, bright eyed and bushy tailed"
"No more dreams?" Charley checked
"Nope, dream free after everyone went to bed. I feel fine" She smiled for good measure.
"Ok..." Dean said "...so this park is about two days drive away and we need to drop by the Roadhouse so let's get our gear together and start moving"
The four of them packed their bags and straightened out the rooms they had used before heading down stairs to talk to Bobby before leaving.
"Just drop this into Ellen and head out I know you're not on the best of terms with Jo" Bobby said handing Jess a bag for Ellen.
"No worries Bobby" he nodded.
"Alright get going then you'll probably be back here in a few days anyway" Bobby said, Jess smile a little at his usual grumpy attitude and gave him a quick peck on the cheek "Bye Bobby" Sam and Dean smirked at the funny happy look on Bobby's face, he noticed and cleared his throat
"Don't know how you two landed girls that good" he joked
"Hay I'm a prize" Dean beamed, Sam snorted "No Jess is though" he teased, Dean shoved Sam playfully
"Shut up and get in the car bitch"
"Jerk" Sam pushed back before hopping in the passenger side of the Impala.
"Charley skipped out of the house then planting a kiss on Bobby's cheek the same way Jess had and waved while she was getting in the car "Later Bobby"
Dean smirked again at Bobby's happy face and dodged a slap, "Shut up ye Igit, just look after them girls"
"Course we will Bobby" Dean said his goodbye and went to start up his baby. Jess and Charley were in the back, Sam up front and Dean couldn't help but feel happy, he stuck in an ACDC tape and headed off for the Roadhouse.
They reached the Roadhouse in less than two hours, road were clear and with Deans driving they made great time. Dean had more or less decided that maybe it would be better just to drop the bag into Ellen and run like Bobby had said. Jo's track record was crap she tried to start on Jess every time they meet, he was sick of it. He pulled up outside the bar and cut the engine, grabbed the bag and turned to the girls and Sam.
"Right, I'll just drop this in and we'll keep going..."
"We can't just, not say 'hay' to Ellen" Charley said
"She won't mind, we're on our way somewhere..." Jess cut in.
"No we shouldn't just run in and out and ignore Ellen cause her daughter is acting like a spoiled brat. Two minute hello and bye, come on Dean you know she'd feel like crap knowing you guys don't feel like you can drop in"
"Jo hasn't got the best track record..." Sam added Dean nodding with him
"I was thinken the same" he agreed
Jess huffed "Well I'm going in to say hi to Ellen, give me the bag" she put her hand out expectantly, Dean made a face sighing getting out of the car and waiting for everyone else to follow, Jess smiled at him and nudged his shoulder. Dean rolled his eyes good naturedly and slung an arm around her shoulder.
"You're so stubborn sometimes" Dean teased
"Em pot calling the kettle black there Hotstuff" Jess sassed back
"Smart ass" he smiled
Sam and Charley followed behind and no one had noticed that Jo had been looking from the back window.
Jo was fuming, they looked even closer now than what they had been a few days ago, it was ridicules. But Jo being the sneak she is had over heard her mom on the phone to Bobby, something about looking up people being moved to different worlds but she knew those two girls were involved. Dean was so easy to rowel up, all she had to do was play on the fact that his little girlfriend wouldn't always be here and of course add a little extra.
"Jess! Charley!" Ellen greeted the girls with warm hugs and the same for the boys, "What are you four doing here?" she beamed, Dean seeing now that Jess was right, it would have hurt Ellen if they had all just drove on with no hello, he couldn't help but smile again.
"We're just messengers this time" Charley said while Dean handed over the bag
"Bobby said you needed this for a hunter looking to gank a water nymph" Dean said, Ellen smiling again
"He got his hands on one already..." she looked in the bag "...he works quick. Thanks boys"
"You know Bobby" Sam added
"So where are you's off to now" Ellen asked
"Following a lead up north of here" Sam said glancing at Jess and Charley, Ellen catching on and realising it was a lead on the girl's situation not the colt.
"Oh good, well I hope you get something out of it" she smile gently at the two girls. "I got some grub on if you want a bit before heading off?"
"No thanks Ellen we just had something. We're gonna get going. But we'll drop in on the way back to Bobby's if ye want?" Dean asked, making Jess and Charley smile at each other
"Ye course. You know you're welcome here anytime" Ellen beamed again, happy that the shit with Jo wasn't stopping them from dropping in.
Jo was just at the end of the stairs when she heard that they were leaving, damn it, I wanna talk to Dean. She hurried to the front of the bar and put her best poor me expression on, just as everyone was turning to go she walked into the room.
"Dean? Can I talk to you before you go?"
"Jo I swear if you start..." Ellen started
"I won't start anything, just please?" Jo glanced at Dean
Dean looked at Jo she looked genuine but that was nothing to go on with the way she had been lately, he really didn't want to listen to crap about Jess. "I don't think so Jo. We gotta run. See ye later Ellen" they all turned to leave again Jo felt like stamping her foot but kept the same heartfelt expression on her face and followed after Dean.
"Dean, just five minutes?" she asked again, Dean stopped and looked to Jess, who had a small genuine smile on her face, she got it they were friends and if Jo wanted to patch things up she wasn't going to stand in the way.
"I'll meet you back in the car" he said softly and just for good measure gave Jess a quick kiss. Jo's anger flared again seeing this, knowing now they must be together. "Ok" Jess said, Sam and Charley following her back to the car.
"I don't trust her" Charley murmured to Sam, who silently agreed.
"What is it Jo?" Dean asked bluntly, she tried to smile and lighten the mood
"I'm not that hard to be around..." she teased, but seeing his face straighten up "...right. Look I'm sorry for the way I've been. I just...I don't get a good feeling about her and I know I know I'm not starting anything" Jo hurried on seeing Dean ready to defend Jess "but it just seems like when she goes home you'll be left and I didn't want you to get hurt"
Dean's brow arched, knowing Ellen hadn't said a word to Jo about how the girls got here, "When she goes home?" Deans asked smartly, Jo covered her tracks playing like she didn't know about the other world business.
"Ye, Ireland right? I mean I know I pushed you away a lot but I thought it was just flirting and that we well had something... and I mean I've see her looking at other guys in here I can guess she does it when you's are hunting..."
"That's enough Jo. I said I'd listen but your just bad mouthing Jess again and I'm not having it. So pack it in. I'm going" Dean stomped off towards the car trying to ignore Jo as he was.
"She's gonna cheat on you. You'll see she'll show you I'm right about her" Jo shouted after him.
Dean slammed the door to the car closed then cringed, the three in the car looking at him waiting to see if he was ok. Rolling his shoulders, he started the car and pulled out of the Roadhouse, still angry about Jo bad mouthing Jess.
Jess leaned forward in her seat in the back and wrapped her arms around his shoulder resting her head on his shoulder and whispered to him.
"You ok Hotstuff?" the tension drained out of his shoulder and he leaned back into Jessie's awkward embrace.
"Ye, Jo just wanted to cause more trouble that's all" he smiled at her as best he could from the way they were sitting and took her hand up to his mouth giving it a kiss. Jess smiled back at him and kissed his neck from where she was. Dean was till pissed at Jo, he knew Jess, she would never do anything remotely like that to him or him to her, she would rather lose a limb than hurt the people she cared about. And Jo well she just had shit to sort out end of story.
They reached a small town in Wyoming called Casper, which the girls thought was hilarious, deciding to stop there for the night as Dean had been driving for the last few hours, they were tired and hungry. The traffic on the interstate had been really bad so it was already after 7 that evening. Pulling into a small diner Jess went it and ordered their food to go, having seen a motel on the way into town and decided to go back there and book their rooms to eat in.
Dean saw Jess smile and laugh with the guy behind the till, he was obviously flirting with her...and well she looked like she was back. Na, Jess isn't like that she's just being nice. As hard as Dean tried he couldn't get what Jo said out of his head, about Jess going off to be with someone else. I mean they were together, they hadn't really talked about where their relationship was but I mean he kinda assumed they were exclusive. Or maybe it would finally click with her that she could do better than him, someone who hasn't got all crap to deal with. Dean stopped his train of thought and watched again as Jess strolled back out to the car their food in hand a smile still on her face.
"Looks like you have a fan babe" Charley joked, Jess just rolled her eye
"Bless, I think he was only like seventeen or something" she giggled, that kinda made Dean feel better.
They made their way back to the motel and Jess jumped out of the car to book two rooms, Dean watching her again this time a guy in his twenties was at the desk and again flirting with Jess. Was it always like that and I just didn't notice, maybe I should talk to her...I mean just to...make sure?
He sighed, make sure what, that it was him she wanted, not like she had much choice around, the four of them were with each other 24/7. Dean cut off his mind again, seriously regretting letting Jo's words get into his head.
"Ok room 18 and 16, down the end there" Jess said when she got back in the car. Dumping their bags in the separate room they all bailed into Sam and Charley's room for food and to just hang out.
"How you feeling Jess?" Sam asked
"I'm good Sam, feel fine. Kinda excited about seeing what the necklace looks like though, if the bracelet is anything to go by" Dean frowned a little
"I didn't think you were into ye know jewellery and stuff?" Jess smiled and looked down at the bracelet, fiddling with it.
"I'm not usually, but considering how old this is and it is beautiful, I can't help but admire the work that went into it" Dean frowned again, he never realised she was into stuff like that, it made him feel a little...down maybe, I mean he should know that right, they were a couple?
Sam noticed Deans face and waited to catch his eye, when he did he raised a questioning brow and Dean just plastered a cocky smirk on his face and went back to talking to Charley and Jess.
Sam knew there was something up with Dean, I mean Dean was always the one saying he was broody and emo but Dean was an open book if you knew him well enough, when he's thinking about something that's bugging him he always gets this pinched look on his face, much like the one he was wearing a minute ago.
Charley flicked on the crappy little TV and found Young Frankenstein on "Ugh...I love this film"
"Gene Wilder is a genius" Jess said settling herself on the floor at the end of the bed, Charley was next to her and the boys were still sitting on the chairs by the table finishing their food. After the boys finished eating Sam got up and plopped himself next to Charley slinging an arm over her, Dean wanted to do the same but for some reason he just couldn't stop thinking about what Jo had said. He sighed to himself, he should really say something to Jess, and he really wasn't in the mood to sit and watch a movie.
"I'm just gonna go get some air" Dean walked out of the room leaving the three in the room to watch him go with worried looks on their faces.
"He's not been right all day" Jess said quietly "should I go after him?" she asked Charley and Sam. Sam shook his head no "Nah Jess, I'll go talk to him see what's up" Jess just nodded understandingly, Sam did have more right to go than she did.
Sam followed Dean out the door and saw him leaning against the Impala, hands stuffed in his jeans pockets. Leaning against the Impala next to Dean Sam just waited to see if he would just say what was on his mind. But after a few minutes of nothing Sam bit the bullet.
"What's up man?" Dean's shoulders slumped, he knew he was being stupid, but now that he had Jess he was just waiting for the other shoe to drop, for her to see she could do better.
"Jo said some stuff and I'm letting it get to me, that's all"
"What did she say that's getting to you so much Dean, you've been kinda off all day?"
"Look, I know it's stupid and irrational but she said some stuff about Jess and I just can't get it out of my head"
"What kind of stuff?" Sam asked, surprised that Dean was letting Jo get to him so much.
Dean was starting to feel pissed, he didn't have to talk about it, he shouldn't have to, god he needed a drink, ye know what fuck it.
"Just drop it Sam. I'm going out" With that Dean slid into the driver seat and started up the Impala, reversing and driving away before Sam could even ask where he was going. Although he had an idea, and if Dean did go to a bar to drown whatever he was feeling in alcohol, then that worried Sam. He'd stopped all that, hadn't done it since before the girls got there and definitely not after, shit.
Making his way back to the room, Sam felt crap having to tell Jess that Dean had bailed, but he was saying nothing about a bar just on the off chance that Dean didn't drink himself stupid.
Jess, Charley and Sam watched the end of the movie each waiting to see if Dean would come back. Sam more anxious than the girls because the longer Dean stayed away the more likely it was that he was getting himself drunk. Charley could see Sam was wound up and was waiting to ask about it, at the same time she was trying to get Jess to stay with them rather than being in her and Dean's motel alone. Jess though decided she had been in the couple's hair long enough despite the two of them asking her to stay and bid them a goodnight going to her own room.
It was late now coming up to midnight with still no sign of Dean or no word from him, Jess was worried now, he'd never done this while they'd been here. She didn't know whether to leave him is space or call him to see if he was ok. Jess settled on a text after she had got ready to go to bed. Just a quick 'are you ok?' she lay down in bed after it sent and watched the phone on the bedside table for a reply, none came, it was after 1 when Jessie's eye's closed and she drifted off into a restless sleep.
Sam was starting to get pissed, after Jess left he called Dean and go no answer, he spent the next hour checking out the window for the Impala.
"Sam what is it? You've been very fidgety since Dean left" Charley had tried to give Sam a bit of quite cause she could see how anxious he was getting but after the hour she decided to try get something out of him if not for him to at least sit down.
Sam heaved a tired sigh and looked at Charley, "Sorry Charley, I'm keeping you up. It's just Dean, well I didn't want to say it when Jess was here in case she got even more worried...but I mean he might be out at a bar. He said he had something on his mind and well that's what he used to do before you two got here but he stopped, a while before that actually. I'm really hoping he's just parked up the side of the road in the Impala" he dropped himself on the edge of the bed, scrubbing his eyes tiredly. Charley crawled up behind him and wrapped her arms around his shoulders, hugging him from behind. Sam turned on the bed so he could pull her into his arms and they moved to rest against the head board of the bed.
Charley was worried about Dean as well, but she did her best to comfort Sam. "We'll stay awake till we hear him come in. You keep trying his phone" she cuddled herself into Sam's arms and flicked a silly rerun channel on TV turning it down so it was just back ground noise.
"You don't have to stay awake Charley..."
"I know I don't have to. I want to" she smiled at him, Sam couldn't help but smile back at her, getting the same little butterflies in his stomach that he's had since he first saw her. He leaned down and gave her a quick but passionate kiss then pulled her into his arms again tucking her head under his chin. He tried to call Dean again but got nothing but the answering machine, he was going to have to explain something to Jess tomorrow, hopefully he hadn't gone to a bar. Unfortunately that wasn't the case.
Jess woke up to a loud scuffing outside the motel door, looking at the time she was it was 2am and noticed Dean's side of the bed empty. She ignored the pang in her heart and cautiously went to the door edging it open only to face a very drunk Dean.
"Dean? What the hell did you do to yourself?" she asked, he looked up almost surprised to see her and then smiled goofily.
"Hay you got the door" he slurred, Jess sigh dejected realising now was not the time to ask him anything.
"Come on let's get you into bed" She ushered him into the room, trying to lead his swaying form to the bed, Dean was groaning and fighting the urge to just tip forward and fall asleep on the floor. Even though he was plastered he registered that Jess was trying to help him, unfortunately his head forgot to keep his mouth shut.
"Surprised you were here ha" Jess looked at Dean funny
"Where else would I be Dean" she answered quietly
"With someone else duh" he slurred again, Jess paused in her effort of trying to take off his jacket.
"What?"
Dean tried to stop himself for swaying on the bed and looked at Jess, his eyes were glassy and unfocused but open. "With someone else, someone better. Do you wanna be with someone else?" Jess was really finding it hard not to feel hurt right now but bit her lip and tried to pull herself together, she looked at Dean, god he looked so vulnerable, was she the reason he'd went off and drank himself silly?
"I don't want to be with anyone else Dean, just you" She tried her best to convince him but even as she was talking he was shaking his head no.
"No, no, no, bet if you had a choice it would be someone else. You have no choice here. There's no one else but me. Should be with someone normal and not a monster" Dean looked completely serious when he was saying this, the only thing giving his state away was the slur and the smell of drink. Jess swallowed the hurt down and cleared her throat.
"Come on we get you to bed, we'll talk in the morning" she took off his coat and boots and left him in his jeans and t-shirt and settled him under the blankets. Just as she was standing up Dean's hand reached out and snagged hers, his eyes were barely open and his voice already sleepy "I'd get it...if you wanted normal"
Jess felt her eyes water slightly and biting her lip again she stood up kissing him on the cheek "Sleep Dean. We'll talk in the morning" he was out and all by the time she flicked off light. Jess slumped in a chair by the table and text Sam letting him know Dean was in bed safe and asleep, even if he only got it when he woke up. She couldn't help but feel hurt now that Dean was asleep and let it out a bit. Her eyes tearing up out of confusion and anger, confused because Dean had seemed happy that they were together now or at least that's what she thought. Angry because she thought he felt he could talk to her now...even after everything he told her she genuinely saw him no different, still felt the same if not more for him, still wanted to be with him and be wanted by him.
The fact that he would rather go and drink himself into the gutter, than talk to her was hurting her so much. Jess knew she wasn't going to go back to sleep now, her head was running a mile a minute, and to be quite honest she didn't think sleep would come easy with it. Her phone flashed, seeing a text from Sam she went to answer it.
'Did he say where he was?'
'No, to tired. He's asleep now'
'U ok Jess?' Jess stared at the text on the screen debating on whether or not to tell Sam that Dean had come back drunk, but she decided against it, they find out in the morning anyway when they seen him with a hangover.
'Ye, I'm good. See you in the am' she knew she was being kind of abrupt but she really wasn't into talking right about now, feeling to open and vulnerable.
She slumped down in the chair, sighing and tipping her head against the wall, watching Dean as he slept. Turns out it was a good idea not to sleep because at around 6am Dean started heaving, eventually throwing up. Jess spent the next hour helping Dean to the bathroom, cleaning him and changing the bed covers before getting him back in bed and going for a quick shower herself.
When she came out Dean was restlessly tossing and turning in the bed, she figured his head was probably waking him up. Jess drew a glass of water, some tablets and a small note on the bedside table for him to see then she pulled her shoe's on and went to pick up some breakfast for everyone firing off a quick text to Sam to let him and Charley know.
Dean woke up a few minutes after Jess left, his head thumping horrible, his eyes squinting with the light coming from the bathroom. He saw the tablets on the table and swallowed them dry, grabbing Jessie note and seeing she was gone for breakfast. His memory from last night was foggy at best but he could remember driving to this small hole of a bar and downing three shots in the first few minutes. He could vaguely recall Jess helping him to the bathroom...was I that unsteady on my feet. Sitting up he looked around the room and spotted a clear bag with bed sheet in it and his t-shirt, from where he was in bed he could see he'd thrown up, "Aw shit" he mumbled. Tossing the covers off himself he went to get dressed.
Jess came back into the room a few minutes later carrying a bag full of rolls, drinks and the paper glancing over at the bed she saw Dean was up and to be honest she was dreading the inevitable conversation they were going to have to have. Jess sighed but started to take everything out of the bags anyway reluctant to admit to herself that she was purposefully putting her back to the bathroom door.
Dean came out of the bathroom followed by a cloud of steam and stopped seeing Jess unpacking the bags at the table. He cleared his throat but Jess just kept unpacking the breakfast making Dean cringe, he must have said something when he got back or maybe she was just pissed with him going out to get drunk full stop.
"Morning" he said to her back, she didn't answer him straight away but when she did her voice sounded off, upset.
"How's your head?" it wasn't asked snidely or sarcastically but genuinely which just made Dean feel worse.
"Look Jess about last night, I..." he struggled to find what to say, but she had at least turned to look at him ready to listen by the looks of it "...I really didn't mean to get that carried away" he sighed roughly, running his hands through his hair, frustrated with how bad he was at talking about this kind of thing.
"Do you remember much?" Jess asked suddenly, Dean shook his head slowly again feeling like crap for what he did.
"Honestly, no" She nodded her head accepting that she was the one who was going to have to get the ball rolling. She sat down in a chair at the table that making Dean bit his lip, he really wanted to give her a hug, as sappy as that sounds but she just looked so tired.
"You got back at about 2am. You could hardly stand or walk and I have no idea where you left the Impala. But you said a few things while I was helping you into bed..."
Aw fuck...Dean didn't want to show it but he was worried now, he knew from experience that if he started yammering like that when he was drunk he usually talked about the shit that had made him drink. He sat down on the end of the bed facing Jessie, there wasn't that much of a gap in between them but it felt like too much to Dean.
"What did I say?" he asked quietly, Jess caught his eye and held it for a few tense seconds then looked elsewhere.
"You said you were surprised I was here. That I should be with someone else...that if I had a choice I would be with someone else... that the only reason I'm with you is because there was no one else around..." Dean closed his eyes and shook his head so angry with himself for saying that, for getting drunk, if he had of just talked to Jess first none of this would have happened.
"Jess I'm so sorry...I mean what I said that's not how I wanted it to sound ..."
"So you really think that?" Jess cut him off, her last shred of hope that it was all just stupid drunk talk gone out the window. Dean struggled on what way to say what was going on in his head, he growled and got up from the bed pacing back and forth.
"I'm no good at talking..." Jess stood up as well trying so hard not to get angry at Dean, he really needed to talk now, especially if they were going to be together.
"That's not something's that's going to float right now Dean, I get you hate chick flick stuff but you really need to let me know what's going on in your head right now" He sighed roughly again pulling his hands through his hair in frustration, his head was killing him, he couldn't think properly.
"I can't think straight, my head is killing me. I ugh..." Jess waited for him to finish, staying quite so he could say whatever he wanted but after a few minute of looking at him getting more and more agitated, her patience went.
"Ye well... the headaches your own fault..." She snapped picking up her runners and starting to put them on, Dean had looked at her a little taken back because Jess had never talked to him like that, only once really. Then he saw her putting her shoe's on and panicked "...you can't talk cause your head is banging fine, but I'm not sitting here waiting for your head to feel better"
"What? What do you mean? I know your upset and I'm sorry, you can't just take off..." his voice was getting gruffer the more he tried to fight down all his pent up emotion. Jess stopped and looked at him again, seeing the same vulnerability she had last night, her shoulder slumped dejected she shook her head.
"I'm not leaving you Dean...I'm going for a jog. And I'm not just upset...I'm angry at you...you practically just said you think I'm stringing you along. You want your head to clear and to be honest I need some air" his face fell hearing the hurt in her hushed voice, he didn't want her to go, but he didn't say it, he should have, he knew if he did she would stay, but he didn't. Already in a pair of sweets from after her shower Jess turned and quietly left the room, pausing outside the door, god she wanted to go back into him so bad. She turned to start jogging towards the park and ran straight into Charley.
"Hay Jessie, I heard Dean had..." Charley paused seeing Jessie's watery looking eyes and tired face "...Jess? what's wrong?" she moved towards Jess but she stepped back, pulling herself together as much as she could in front of Sam and Charley.
Sam stepped forward "Jess what..."
"I'm fine just going for a run, foods inside. I'll see you in a few" Charley went to go back to her and Sam's room.
"Well just wait for me and I'll go with you..."
"No baby girl, its fine. I won't be long, I'll be at the park" with that Jess looped into an easy jog Sam and Charley quickly losing site of her. Sam shook his head he could guess now what Dean had obviously done last night gezz he just prayed Dean hadn't slept with anyone on top of the drinking. Charley was pissed because Jess was upset she turned fuming to go into Jess and Deans room and paused after opening the door. Dean was sitting on the bed his face in his hands, but his head shot up hoping to see Jess when he didn't his shoulder slumped again.
"What happened?" Charley asked
Dean flicked his gaze in between Sam and Charley and shook his head.
"Dean?" Sam pressed "What the hell happened?"
"I was stupid that's what"
"I figured that out on my own. But we just saw Jess, she was really upset. So spill now?" Charley demanded. Dean cringed again knowing he'd just put himself in Charley's bad books as well.
"I had too much to drink and then ran my mouth off when I got back ok?"
"Ran your mouth off about what?" Sam pushed
"About the shit I was telling you Jo got in my head alright. Look, I know I fucked up. I should have just talked to Jess and hashed it out with her properly but I panicked and I don't know man...when I started drinking I was only going to have one or two so I could make it easier to talk to her..." Dean groaned. His head hammering and his stomach rolling, Charley and Sam shared a look, both understanding but pissed at him all the same. They went in and pulled out their breakfast, Dean looking at them almost expecting a slap off Charley she just handed him a drink and some more pain killers.
"I know you're a big macho man and all that jazz but you need to fix this, which means talking"
"I know" Deans answered solemnly, Charley nodded.
"Alright then, I can assume your stomach is in rag order and you don't want your breakfast" Dean groaned and held his stomach making Charley and Sam laugh "When you get so mean?" Dean whined.
Jess lengthened her strides to get away from the motel, she wouldn't put it past Charley to follow her and she really need to blow off some steam before talking to anyone. She reached a nice park about fifteen minutes after leaving the motel, jogging in through the gates Jess slowed herself down to a gentle easy rhythm, something she could keep up for a longer time.
All she could think about was how much Dean struggled to talk to her this morning, if what he had said last night wasn't true he easily would have been able to tell her but if it was and he really did feel like she was stringing him along, god even the thought of that being in his head when they had started to be together.
If that was the case why would he even be with her at all. Her eye's started to tear up again "Ugh I don't want to cry..." she mumbled to herself. So instead Jess pushed herself harder she found a large pond in the park working out about the same as doing laps of a football pitch so she decided to do a few laps. After her fourth she slowed down feeling her muscle protect pleasantly and her breathed deepening, just as she veered off to run back to the gate a man jumped out from behind a tree, he was fairly large and had a syringe in his hand, he swung it at her aiming to jab her but Jess was quick enough to dodge and knock it out of his hand. "Shit" he swore. Jess heard shouting coming from across the park and thought she saw a small group of lads that had been playing foot ball start to run in her direction, but they were too far away and Jess didn't see the second man armed with the same syringe. She felt a painful dart in her neck then everything went dark.
Cliffhanger?
Review? Good/bad?
