Listen, Kid

I wasn't scared

Chapter 28

In the bunker

Jayla's POV

I'm in my room, debating on whether or not to go bother Dean. Sam's not home, so Dean's my only option, right now. I don't wanna bother him to be mean or fight with him. I wanna bother him because I'm bored. And my arm hurts. I think that bothering Dean would help me forget about the fact that my arm hurts. What better thing to do than bother my brother? I've made my decision. I'm gonna go bother Dean. I get off my bed and leave my room. When I get to Dean's room, where I thought he was, I find that he's not there. Where'd he go? He was just in here. Maybe he's in the living room. Or he might be doing research, in the library. I go to the living room, but only find his jacket. He's gotta be in the library then. No. He's not in here, either. Where the hell is he? Did he go somewhere? No. He wouldn't just leave like that. He'd let me know, first.

Jayla: Bubba?

Silence. I'm starting to get a little scared. I don't like being alone. And as far as I know, I'm alone right now. I don't know where Dean is, but he's gotta be here somewhere. Right? Right. He didn't leave the house, so he's here. He's definitely here. He's not in the kitchen or in the map table room. I don't know what that room's called, so I just call it "the map table room". Whatever it's called, Dean's not in there.

Jayla: De?

Still no response. Where the fuck is he? I'm actually about to cry. I don't like being alone and I can't find Dean.

Jayla: Dean?

I hear footsteps coming from the bathroom. The bathroom. The one place I didn't look. He was in the one place I didn't fucking look. I didn't even THINK to look there.

Dean: Jay? He calls as he walks in to the room.

His hair's wet and he's changed his clothes. He was in the shower. How did I not hear the water running? Maybe I was too focused on thinking I was alone.

Jayla: Bubba.

Dean: You alright? I heard you looking for something.

You. I was looking for you.

Jayla: I'm, um, I'm ok.

Dean: You sure? You look a little nervous. Did you break something? Throw another lamp at a spider?

Jayla: No. I'm ok.

Dean: You don't look ok, Sweetheart. He says while walking over to me.
