Shut Up! (SPN Fic)

Chapter 1

Paige, an old friend of the Winchesters, had always been hunting with them ever since her parents were murdered by a demon.

Despite being slightly younger than Sam and Dean, she was quite knowledgeable on the supernatural. She tended to stay out of hunts and continued to research from the Motel, unless she was needed for undercover work with fake IDs.

One night after John Winchester had died, Sam had excused himself and headed to the bedroom for some alone time. Paige could understand that Sam and Dean were mourning, as was she, but before Sam excused himself, she had noticed him scratching at his wrists roughly, yet subtly so that nobody would take notice.

After a few minutes, Paige got up and followed Sam to the bedroom, leaving Dean to continue the research of the current hunt.

As she hesitated at the bedroom door, she heard Sam's sobs from inside. She sighed quietly before knocking,

"Sammy, are you alright?"

"Fuck...” Sam mumbled. Rushing to pull down his sleeve, he cleared his throat,

"Y-Yeah, I'm fine." Sam walked towards the door and wiped his eyes before opening it slowly.

"H-Hey Paige, something wrong?" Sam asked, looking everywhere but her face.

Paige frowned at the sight of Sam, he had been crying. She could tell by the way his eyes were watery and red, as if he'd just rubbed him.

"Why have you been crying?" She asked.

Sam cleared his throat,

"Uh…What? I haven't been crying." his words rushed out like a raging river.

She looked up at him, and studied his face.

"Don't lie to me. I know when something's wrong with you."

Sam mumbled,

"M'fine... really." He couldn't tell Paige his secret, she'd only think of him as weak. What if she told Dean? What would he thi- Sam was torn from his thoughts by Paige,

"I'm worried about you, I don't like it when you don't tell me stuff." She said, as she took his hand in hers.

"You can tell me, it can just be our secret if you don't want Dean to know." She added. Sam bit his lip...should he say something? Sighing he looked at Paige, tears fresh in his eyes,

"I just miss him, okay?" Okay maybe he didn't tell her the whole truth, but he wasn't exactly lying was he? Paige sighed and went on her tip-toes to wrap her arms around Sam's neck, embracing him and rubbing his back gently.

"Sammy, we all miss him." She mumbled, quietly.
