The Family Of The Haunted

Chapter 10, Memories

Dean watched Sam's expertise change into nervousness as he looked away, and his leg shook. " What-no. I don't talk to her about and she nothing but trouble," He looks back at the book in front of him. " Trouble? You mean the girl who tricked you into trying to find out if her ex-boyfriend has moved on." Sam pressed his lips fine line and leaned against the chair. " And you still haven't blocked her." Dean added as he glanced at him, " Why? Why do you still connect with her? " He looked at her as Sam released a sigh that escaped his lips. " It reminisces me of Ruby." He mutters under his breath as Dean immediately shakes his head at him.

" I thought you'd forgotten about her, " He assumed as Sam side-eyed away from him. " I haven't. She's always been on my mind, wanting nothing more than see her again," Dean is just dumbfounded by him. " Have you lost your mind?" Sam could only low chuckle and looked at him, " Maybe I have. I don't have my soul in my body, so I can't hardly express it. " Sam stood up, and Dean followed him to the outside. " You've no idea have much it's hard to show a fake smile to everyone!" He shouted as he glared at him and then looked down at the floor. " Special to Polly."

Dean took a couple of steps towards him and was about to touch his shoulder until Sam growled at him, " Don't, just don't." He warned as Dean felt the anger build up inside him, then he stepped backward. " Don't you dare growl at me," Sam glared at him even more " I don't fucking care! " He stormed off.

Jess felt like a prisoner at her home when she was nineteen years old and struggled to express her feelings or escape from the house she used to call home. She helped around the house when the mom left cause she had enough of his drugging habits; she gave him money-even though she didn't need to do that, but she was scared to tell him no. Jess knows the consequences if she does that–like he will give her a silent treatment and won't look at her while she starts to feel guilty over time, then the overthinking clicks in like a door shutting on her face.

The guilty started to eat her slowly on the inside, wishing someone could save her from this-but, she knew that she was on her own. She was escaping from a puppeteer that used her money and then yelled at her if she made a mistake–a simple mistake.

Suddenly the anxiety enters into the mix of guilt and disappointment in the pot. Her breathing became uneven because coming too much, and she felt the tears wanting to show up–and she whipped them with her sleeve. Jess sat on the cold tiled floor and let the tears flow down her cheeks, and she started to sniffle, and hiccups escaped her lips while hiding her face between her lips.

Unexpectedly, Jess felt an armed wrapped around her shoulder to pull her close to their embrace. She lauded her legs flat on the floor and leaned her head on their shoulder as he rubbed her arm comfortably and didn't say or comment on her red eyes. He knows what's happening in her home, so she doesn't need to hide it from him.

" Why don't you leave?" He softly questioned as she sniffled, " I can't drive. So what's the point of leaving if I don't have that." He stared down at her " I could help you–you know that." Jess bites her bottom lip, " yea, but I don't want it." She said in bitterness. The guy pulled back by ach as he widened eyed-at her, " So you want to condition to be this all of your left?" She looked away as he grasped her chin and made her look at him. He is staring into her hazel eyes and sees no light anymore in her eyes. " You can't live like this. Forever," She stayed quiet.

" Jess..." She looked up at him and spoke with sadness, " Louis.."

Jess shut the book in her hands and set it down on the table; as she stood up and went over to the photos on the wall, she saw the ones she wanted to hang up for her brothers to see. Not the sad ones. She heard a crack and turned around to see a shadow standing right behind her, " Lou..?" she asked as the shadow titled the head to the side.
