Two Minutes Till Midnight

43

"Okay Hun be good." I say kissing Tristan's forehead. He kisses my cheek, just like his dad, and runs off into the daycare. I've found a job in the 2weeks we've been staying at the motel, I'm a waitress at this local diner call Fords. It's actually really cool cause the theme of the diner is Star Wars, but it's noting special I still have to wear the uniform which is a button up dress, the normal waitress stuff.

Tristan came there every so often and helped with serving, the customers think he's absolutely adorable, which brings in good tips.
The owner works with us and he loves Tristan, so it's fine by him if he helps me at work. I haven't really though about Dean much but I still have my wedding ring around my finger, Sam calls every other day to check in.

Today Tristan is old enough to be three, the lovable munchkin. Of course today I'm planning on calling Dean but not talking to him, I'm trying to limit contact with him after.....
"Elena pancakes for table 3." Tim says handing me a plate of pancakes. He makes the best pancakes in Kansas.
I take the pancakes out to table three to a man in a suit.
"Thank you," he says as I place the pancakes down. As I walk away I can feel him eyeing me, creepy.

"Mommy! Mommy!" Tristan squeals running into the diner.
"What is it sweets?" I say picking him up.
    "Daddy picked me up." He says giggling, I know he's missed Dean and so have I, but I don't think it's the best idea.
"What." I say, letting him down. He takes my hand pulling me towards the door. People smile at me, I know them, Tristan knows them. There nice.

"I'm taking my break!" I yell to Tim. He nods as I'm pulled out of the diner by Tristan's little hand.
"Come on mommy!" He yells pulling me with all his might.
"I'm coming Tristan." I say laughing a little.
Suddenly I run into someone, I look up seeing the gruff, gentle face of Dean Winchester.

"Um...uh... Hi." I say looking down at my shoes. He lifts my chin up so out eyes meet.
"Hi." He smiles. I give him a gentle smile back, he encloses his arms around me burying me in his chest.
"I've missed you." He whispers.

***********

"Stop. Please just stop." I say trying to get away from Dean. He grabs my wrist pulling me back to him.
    "Elena I'm sorry, just don't shut me out again, come back with me." He says brushing loose strands of hair from my eyes. He doesn't know this but I can't find Tristan and I'm really freaking out about it. I pull away trying to reach for the door.
He pulls me back this time his hands tightly around my waist. He lifts me up pulling me by my waist, I start to kick at his legs, hitting at his sides.

"Sammy!" I scream trying to get his attention from the connecting room next door.
    "Sam!"

"Stop! Dean your hurting her!" Sam says rushing to my side getting me outta deans grip.
    I hug Sam's chest softly crying, so many troubling memories from when Dean was a demon. How he shoved me against a wall just to kiss me. How he violated me, and choked me till I was on the brink of death.

"Elena..... I'm s-so sorry." Dean says head in his hands. I know he didn't mean to be that aggressive, he still has the mark and if he didn't he would have never done that.
       "We'll leave tonight." Sam says hurrying me out the door. The cool air blows against me skin when I get a call.

"Hello." I answer.

"Elena, I found Tristan I'm havering him stay at the diner." Tim said, reassuring me.
"Thank you so much, I'll be right over." I say hurrying to the diner.

As I get there I burst through the doors. I don't even notice what's going on around me.
    "Tim! Tristan where are you!" I say hurrying back to the kitchen. As I make my way back I see droplets of blood on the floor. No no no no no! This can't be happening.
I follow the drops of blood into the kitchen where I see Tim's head In the boiling oil.
