Heartbeat [spn]

Part 8

You sat in the front seat of the Impala, leg nervously bouncing up and down as you looked up at your childhood friends home. It still looked the same, from the blue paint to the row of white roses that surrounded the front of the building. Sam had joined you, more than excited to spend time with you without Dean's prying eyes. Plus, this was the only way you could convince the boys to let you go. That someone had to join you to keep you safe.

Both brother's had sat you down and gave you more than your fare share stern words about how you needed to stay safe and not stray too far. That you had to wear a few protective charms, and that if you started to feel anything different you needed to let Sam know right away. All things you could have guessed without the lecture.

"Okay, lets do this." Your stomach grumbled, the smells of freshly cooked food wafting over the house and into the Impala. You opened the door, hearing the squeak of the door as it swung. Sam joined you, rounding the car quickly thanks to his rather large legs.

You knocked on the front door, only to have to have the door swing open as you knocked. You looked back at Sam who shrugged as a response, and in you went. Loud music could be heard from the back yard, and it was obvious now that you were supposed to let yourself in. Otherwise you'd have been standing at the front door a long time waiting.

"Y/N!" Your friend screamed. rushing from the other side of the yard to you. Sam took a step back as the girl wrapped her arms around you in a hug a hug that took the breath away from you. "I am so glad you made it!" Her red hair engulfed you, obscuring your vision from the world. She finally let go, stepping back and taking a deep breath. She smiled, showing her pearly whites to you and Sam.

"Of course. You said 4 right?" Looking around the space you could tell the party had been going on a lot longer than a few minutes. The crowd was on the larger side than you had expected, resulting you feeling slightly uncomfortable. But thankfully Sam stayed close.

"Yes I did. And who is this?" She gestured to Sam with her free hand. Her other held a cup of liquid you could tell held alcohol in it and wanted some badly.

"My friend Sam. Sam this is Stef."

Sam extended his hand out for Stef to shake, only to be wrapped up in a hug that only took his breath away because he was unprepared for it. Stef was far to small to make Sam loose his breath. "Well hello, Sam."

"Hi Stef, its a nice place you got here." He said standing tall again.

Stef quickly looked around, "You have to meet... hold on he's here somewhere." She left for a second, leaving you and Sam alone. Again he shrugged. "Okay, here is Josh. My boyfriend."

Josh stood tall, his chest puffing out. Sam laughed, obviously used to people shorter than him trying to seem taller or bigger. "Hey. Welcome to our party." He never took his eyes off Sam until you cleared your throat and he softened his gaze to meet yours.

You all exchanged in pleasantries for a while, Stef talking about the things going on in her life and how well everything was going. Stef took you over to the fully stocked bar she had provided and helped you by making a drink for the both of you. She proceeded to walk you around and introduce you to the other guests, most of which you had gone to high school with.

Everyone had a million questions for you, which was expected since you practically left the day of graduation and never came back. It'd been years since you had even talked to any of these people. You had liked it like that. High school was a place you enjoyed, but this town held too many bad memories, and now even more.

"Where have you been?"

"Whats the real city like?"

"How far did you get?"
