A Forgotten World

10- Apologies

"Thanks for saving us, Anna. I owe you." Sam stated.

"You don't owe me. I wasn't gonna let you two die." I replied. Sam then stitched up Dean's leg.  "I know you two have stuff to do I'm sure, but I think we should all call it a night. You're both pretty weak." I suggested. They both nodded in agreement. Dean headed in to bed. "I'll be in in a bit, babe." I told him.

I took a seat on the couch and watched tv for a bit. I was honestly trying to avoid talking to Dean because I knew he was mad and that I was the reason he was hurt. He left because I acted like I didn't love him and because he was mad. That's what I thought and I figured his love was dwindling because of how much I had screwed up. A few minutes later, Dean appeared at the entrance to the room.

"You don't have to avoid me. I know you think I'm mad, but I'm not. You don't need to be scared of me."

"I'm not scared of you and It's not just that I think you're mad. It's also because I know I'm the reason you left and got hurt." I explained.

"Come on, let's talk. Please. I swear I'm not mad." I nodded and followed him to bed.

"So if you're not mad, then why did you tell me I shouldn't have come and why did you leave in the first place?" I asked.

"I was scared for you. Last time you, Sam, and I were together where a monster was present, I killed you. I didn't want to watch you die again. And I left because I felt bad for not being able to make you happy. I went for a walk to clear my head and got attacked." He explained. "I never was mad. And I didn't leave because I don't love you. I hope you know I love you so much." I didn't reply for several minutes. He lightly started rubbing my back so I spoke up.

"I'm an idiot, Dean. I should have known you were just upset you couldn't make me happy at that moment. I thought you were mad and that your love for me was dwindling. I'm sorry." I told him.

"Jeez, Anna. Quit apologizing. It's ok. No one is mad at you and neither of us have been mad at you since you got here. Just relax." He consoled. I nodded. I snuggled up with him and tried to sleep.

"How's your leg? Did anything serious get cut?" I asked.

"It's ok. It hurts but nothing major was cut. I'm fine. You should get some sleep. It's been a tough day." He added.

"You too, Dean." I replied.

"Why'd you come with Sam anyways? Just curious." He asked.

"I didn't know how badly you were hurt. We were kind of having a mini fight and I didn't want that to be the last thing we did before you died. And I didn't want to be apart from you if you died either. I don't ever want to be apart from you again."

"I'm glad you came. I don't like being apart from you either."

"Me too."

"I really do love you, baby. I love you so so much. I don't know what I'd do without you. Goodnight."

"I love you too. Me either. Goodnight." He gave me a kiss and we went to sleep. I got up in the morning and was comforted in seeing Dean still next to me. He woke up not too long after.

"Morning."

"Morning Dean."

"How are you holding up?" He asked, concerned for my well being.

"Hanging in there I guess. How's your leg?"

"Super sore." He replied.

"I bet. I wish he hadn't fallen that way. I wasn't trying to make him do that." I explained.
