Are We Meant to Be?

Chapter 6

I woke up in the morning fairly late around 11. I was still in pain so I could barely move without help. I managed to get up and use the bed and the dresser to get myself to the door.

"Dean?" I hollered out. "Can I have a little help?" He came over to me.

"Hey, sorry."

"It's ok. Thanks for letting me sleep. I kinda want to take a shower, but I'm gonna fall."

"The floor of the shower isn't slick, and the walls aren't really either. You'll be ok. I can wait outside the door if you want."

"You wouldn't mind?"

"No of course not." He responded. I went into the bathroom, took my shower, then came out. I limped over to the couch where I sat with a laptop and helped them with research for a while. "So Miranda, you wanna go get some clothes?"

"Sure. I feel so gross in this." Dean and I headed out to the clothing store. Dean kept suggesting some really skimpy outfits just to tease me. I picked out a few t-shirts and some pairs of shorts. "You sure you can afford this, Dean?" I asked. I bought about a week's worth of clothes because I had no clue when I would be heading home.

"Yeah. It's fine." He paid and we left.

We were silently riding in the car when Dean spoke up. "You ok?"

"Yeah, why?"

"You just seem upset, and you pretty much only talk to me now."

"Just don't worry about it."

"Ok. I won't push you. Just know that just because you're staying with us and I don't know you all that well, doesn't mean you can't talk to me. I will keep anything private that you want private ok?"

"Ok. I'll let you know." He nodded and the ride remained silent. We got back to the bunker and put my clothes in my room. I continued helping them with research.
