Consequences

I want him to talk to me

Chapter 43

In the bunker

Ella's POV

I'm in the living room, arguing with Dean. We've been arguing for like, an hour. The argument started because he told me to do the dishes, very rudely, so I said "You wanna try that again? Maybe more polite this time?" He didn't like that very much, probably because he was already in a mood. I think he's on his man period or something. That's the only explanation that I can think of as to why he's been arguing with me so much. He's just on his man period and is feeling hormonal. That's all. But I'm on my normal period, and I'm also feeling hormonal. So if he wants to fucking fight, let's fucking fight.

Dean: No, Ella! I'm mad because you don't fucking listen! I keep talking, and telling you to behave yourself, but you refuse to listen! Maybe if I stop talking, you'll finally fucking listen to me!

Ella: You can't just ignore me, because you don't wanna be an adult! Did you forget who started this argument?!

Dean: It wasn't me! That's for sure! All I did was ask you to do the damn dishes! You're the one that decided that you wanted to argue, instead of doing what you were told! The dishes could be fucking finished by now! But you'd rather argue than do as you're told! Would it kill you to be obedient for once?!

Ella: "Obedient"?! I'm not a fucking dog, Dean! I'm not gonna "obey" shit! If you want something to obey you, get an actual fucking dog!

Dean: You're not even listening! I'm trying to-

Ella: You're trying to tell me that you want me to be more like a fucking dog, that's gonna obey your every command!

Dean: I'm done with this conversation. If you don't wanna even try to listen, then maybe I'm done talking.

He doesn't give me a chance to respond before he walks out of the room.

Sam: Next time-

Ella: Oh shut up.

Sam: Excuse me?

Ella: You've been sitting there with that book in your face the whole time. You had a million chances to say something, but you chose not to. But now that the argument's over, you wanna say something to "avoid future conflict"? Anybody ever tell you how awful your timing is? Because if not, I'm telling you now. Your timing is fucking awful.

Sam: Don't be mad at me because you started a fight with Dean. You know he's actually gonna ignore you, right?

Ella: What? No, he's not.

Sam: Yeah, he will. That's not something he says, just to say it. It wasn't just an empty threat. I'd know. He'll start talking to you again once he thinks you've learned a lesson. Or when you ball your eyes out because he's not talking to you. Whichever happens first.

Ella: You think I'm gonna cry, just because he won't talk to me?

Sam: No. I'm just giving you the options that I've actually gone through. He's ignored me, then started talking to me after I learned a lesson, or I balled my eyes out because he wouldn't talk to me. The longest he's ever gone was a full week. So I hope there wasn't anything you wanted to talk to him about, that requires him to talk to you.
