Twenty Two

It had been a week since Dean had kissed me, a week since my father left me again and a week since the yellow eyed demon had forced me to drink his blood. I had no idea what any of it meant.

Dean hadn't said anything since we kissed, that was fine, I understood that he was confused over his feelings and I was too, besides he was right, we had too much on our plates too be thinking about relationships and feelings.

I'd asked Ash to keep a look out on my dad, I wanted to speak to him again, I needed to know what he meant by 'I can't be helped'. I didn't mention to anyone else besides Sam and Dean about what the yellow eyed demon had done to me, for some reason I felt like it meant something serious, I mean, I had demon blood running through me, who knew what kinda damage that could do.

Because of my injured hand, Dean had insisted I take a short sabbatical from hunting- I didn't particularly want too but I didn't have much choice in the matter. He dropped me off at the roadhouse and I'd been staying there for a week already and I missed the boys like crazy. It was mad how dependant I had become on them.

"You hungry sweetie?" Ellen sat down on the seat beside me and I shook my head. "No but thank you." She rubbed my arm gently and sighed.

"How you doing?"

I held my hand up to show her that my stitches were healing well. "Pretty good." She reached up and grabbed my hand and pushed it gently back down into my lap. "That's not what I meant, you were attacked by the yellow eyed demon and your father left you again. You can't tell me that you're okay after all that." She gave me a knowing look, a look that said don't lie to me and I knew better than to lie to Ellen.

"Yeah it's pretty rough. I only just met him and both times it was like he couldn't wait to get away from me."

Ellen smiled sadly and handed me over a beer. "He's not worth your time, you're a smart, independent, beautiful girl and if he doesn't want to stop and take a look at how wonderful you turned out then he's not worth the worry." I pressed my lips together, my eyes watering at her sweet words. "I look at you like my own, but if you really were, I'd be more than proud of you." 

I leant over and embraced her, I cared for Ellen like a mother figure, she was always there for me if I needed anything, she called up to check on me, she talked sense into me and I really cared about her.

"Thank you, there was something he said, I can't stop thinking about it." I sighed and Ellen tilted her head for me to continue. "It doesn't matter, you're right, he's not worth the thought."

I hopped out of the seat and walked over to the arcade game, sitting down and wasting some time on it.

"You're getting good."

I gasped at the sound of Jo's voice and hopped of the chair mid game to hug her.

"I thought you weren't getting here till tomorrow!" I called out excitedly as we pulled apart.

"Nick let me take my holiday a day early."

I smiled widely and she put her hand into her bag pulling out a dress. I frowned at her, she didn't wear dresses and neither did I.

"Ugh, I know it looks horrible. But I have plans for us whilst we're together, considering everything going on I thought that we could go out, have a good night before you run back off to the storm."

I nodded but still eyed the dress nervously.

"Just entertain it Faith. Let's be girls for once!"
...

I stood in the bathroom, staring at myself. I looked ridiculous, Jo had bought me a mini black dress and a pair of black heels to match. They looked good, and they enunciated my hips well but I didn't feel comfortable, I'd never been to a club before, only the occasional bar and I was already flustered thinking of the types of people that would be there.
