Alex POV:
It had been five days since Dean died and trust me, things weren’t getting any easier. Luke stayed with me the first two nights then I started stayed at his house because things just got worse with Melody. I thought things would start getting better but they weren’t. At first it was the silent treatment but then she started being rude.
Flashback:
The first night I slept at Luke’s, the boys and I were eating dinner at my kitchen table when Melody walked in. She was in her work clothes because she apparently got called into work but I knew she just didn’t want to be at the house so she made excuses. When she saw us all sitting at the table she walked over and looked at our food then looked at me “Where did this come from?” She was a little snippy but I ignored it.
“I gave Beau money and he went and got it. Yours is in the fridge if you want to take it with you.” I stated smiling sweetly at her as she glared at me, “No thanks.” And she walked out. I watched her leave as she backed out of the driveway. It hurt knowing that she was so mad at me for not being able to stop Dean, I felt alone in this, like I was the only one who deserved to suffer. I looked back at the boys and they all looked mad. “What?” I asked a little confused.
“She is just being, well to put it into nice terms, a jerk.” Beau said shoveling another fork full of food into his mouth.
“He’s right. She isn’t talking to you and when she does she is rude to you.” Skip said with a mouth full of food. Yup, all guys at this table.
“She is just upset, she will warm up eventually.” I responded before taking another bite of my food.
“I don’t know Alex, I don’t think you should be in this house with her right now. She is just making things worse for you.” Skip implied as he put another fork full of food into his mouth.
“Yeah Alex, you need to get out of this house. Stay with us, my mum won’t mind. In fact she asks about you all the time.” Jai added.
“Yeah babe, you should stay with us tonight. It would be good for you to get out of your house for a little.” Luke said smiling at me. I didn’t know if it was a good idea but it would be nice not to be here. This place was just too depressing with Dean gone and Melody pushing me away. I guess it wouldn’t be a bad idea.
“Alright, I will stay with you guys tonight.” I said and I saw Luke’s smile gro w bigger and I couldn’t help but smile back.
“SLEEPOVER!” James shouted with a big smile on his face and his arms up, “We will rent movies and play games and just have fun.” James was excited and I laughed at his excitement.
“Yeah, I’m down.” I laughed.
I had fun that night, we played games, watched scary movies and I fell asleep in Luke’s arms while he and Jai talked, more like argued, about which Paranormal Activity movie was better. Luke said the first one and Jai argued saying the second one was better. I didn’t care, I didn’t like either of them. All I knew was that I was in Luke’s arms and I was happy.
That night I had my first dream about Dean. The dream was horrible, I kept seeing Dean punching the mirrors with me trying to stop him, but he wouldn’t listen to me, he just kept punching the mirrors. I woke up in a cold sweat and breathless. I started crying and I started shaking. I tried to get up to go to the bathroom so that my crying wouldn’t wake the boys but as I was getting up I was pulled down into Luke’s arms, “You’re not going anywhere.” He whispered and I cried in his arms. That was the first night I had a dream about Dean, then every night since then I have that same dream.

“Hey baby” I said as Luke walked into the kitchen, it was 11:30 in the morning and I have been up since 6 because I couldn’t fall back asleep after my nightmare. Luke had been staying up with me every night for the past 2 nights while I recovered from my reoccurring nightmare, so today I let him sleep in.
