Are We Meant to Be?

Chapter 2

~Sam's POV~

I walked out the door behind Dean. I kind of wanted to go back. She was a nice girl who really needed someone. I just wasn't ready for another relationship.

"So, how about you and that girl, huh?" Dean asked obnoxiously.

"It's not gonna happen. It's too soon Dean."

"Did you tell her that?"

"I told her I just wasn't ready for a relationship." I said sadly. I knew I upset her, and I didn't like that feeling.

"You really like her don't you?" Dean asked, picking up on the fact I felt bad as we got in the car.

"Look Dean. We really hit it off. Yes, I do kind of like her, but it's not something I'm ready to do yet. Not after Jess. She has my number in case she needs someone to talk to because she's going through a lot, but it's nothing past friends ok?" I said harshly

"Ok. Got it." Dean said to avoid an argument. We headed back to the hotel to work on research. We drove down the roads and all I could think about was the conflict of emotions I had. I liked Miranda, but I wasn't ready yet. And at the same time, she needed someone to be there for her, and I hated that I upset her.

I sat there on the bed at the hotel with my laptop trying to focus on research. Now I couldn't help but think about Jess. Every thought that entered my mind was how much I loved Jess, how much I had wanted to marry Jess, how much it sucked that she died, how much I wanted her back. Suddenly, a text pulled me out of my thoughts.

'Hey, it's Miranda. Just making sure you didn't give me a fake number.'

'Yep, it's Sam. I would never have given you a fake number.'

'I just want to say I'm sorry about wanting to push you into a relationship.'

'Don't feel bad. I just need to deal with stuff first.'

'Thanks. I get it.' She replied. I went back to research. There was a series of deaths on the outskirts of town. They all appeared to be from demons, and all the people lived in the same apartment complex. We couldn't tell where the demons were taking the people, but they took them somewhere, killed them, and then moved the bodies all to the same park.

As the night grew on, we were finding nothing new on this case. We decided we would just go to bed, and try in the morning.
