Chance Encounters

The Concert

With your hands visibly shaking, you let yourself be pulled down the short hallway, to the green room where everyone was waiting. Rich hadn't even stayed long enough to make sure you guys were following behind, and in a way you were grateful for that. Brianna walked in front of you, while Kim had her arm across her shoulder. "I know it's hard. And I know the last thing you want to do is to face Jensen like this. But you only have tonight and tomorrow left of this convention, and you don't want to spend it hiding away in your bedroom. Jensen is a good guy. After the urge to go bash that assholes brains in, he will be there for you.

Nodding, you surprised her by pulling her into a tight hug. "Thank you so much. For being there for me, a girl you hardly know." 

She patted you on the back, and the both of you laughed as Brianna joined in. "You're a good girl. Jensen's lucky to have you, and I have a feeling we're going to become great friends."

Taking a deep breath, you let them push the door open, and you followed in behind. The green room was a blur of activity, with people moving everywhere as they got ready for the concert. Jensen was there, talking to an animated Rob, with his back turned to you. It was a relief, because it gave you just a couple more minutes to gather your emotions. 

"It will be okay." Brianna whispered in your ear before she moved over to where Rich was standing, and Kim followed her after patting your shoulder. You glanced back over Jensen's way, just as Rob saw that you were back in the room. He must have said something because Jensen turned to face you, a huge smile on his face. But as he took in the paleness of your face, the shaking of your hands, and the bruise that refused to hide under makeup, the smile turned to a frown, then to a murderous rage.

Rushing forward, he grasped your arm tightly, pulling you out into the hallway, away from the prying ears of his friends. "What the hell happened to you?" He asked, his rage making his voice rough, and you couldn't help yourself. You started to cry. "Oh shit, I'm sorry sweetheart. I'm not mad. I'm just furious that I wasn't here to help you. Was it that ass Brian?" He asked, cupping your cheek and rubbing his thumb gently over the tender bruise.

Sniffling, you nodded. "I ordered dinner. And he was there when it arrived." You sobbed. "He gave me an ultimatum. Either I give in to his wishes, or I lose my job. By tomorrow."

Jensen pulled you tight into his arms, his head resting on top of your arms. "Damn it Y/N. I'm so sorry you had to deal with that jerk. It's taking all my effort not to go find him and beat the shit out of him. You and I will go talk to his boss, get everything figured out in the morning."

Feeling much better as he soothingly rubbed your back, you closed your eyes, breathing in his scent of musk, leather and something uniquely him. Pressing a kiss to your hair, he pulled back, staring down at you with more love in his eyes than you would have thought possible in such a short period of time. "Alright, but for tonight you are going to relax, and enjoy the concert. We have alcohol, and food, and a lot of amazing people. Just the thing to make you feel better."

"You've already done that." You told him, giving him a smile as you noticed your hands had stopped shaking. Wrapping his arm around your shoulder, he guided you back into the green room. Rob was gone, along with his band, but Kim and Brianna both gave you thumbs up. Jensen noticed, and raised an eyebrow your way. "They were there for me too." You explained, and he nodded. Walking you to the other door of the green room, he pulled out a chair and placed it directly in front of the big screen. Even though the main focal point was on the other side, you could still see things perfectly. Jensen handed you a pair of headphones. "I know you can hear, but this will help." He told you, just as the band started playing. You listened, tapping your foot to the music. Jensen stood behind you, watching with his hands on your shoulders, as Brianna took her turn on the stage, and did an amazing job. But then it was Jensen's turn, and he pressed a kiss to your un-bruised cheek before climbing the stairs to the stage. You watched as the fans went wild, just as another person dragged a chair and sat down next to you.

"You don't mind, do you?" Jared asked you, and you shook your head. Staying quiet, the two of you listened to Jensen performing the song Whipping Post, and you couldn't believe how talented he was. 

"Is there anything that man can't do?" You thought you whispered to yourself, but Jared heard you, and started chuckling deeply.

"He can't draw, but that's about the only thing I can think of." He teased. "He's a pretty good singer, isn't he?"

"Yeah he is." You replied dreamily, causing Jared to laugh again. 

Once Jensen was done singing, Jared turned his attention back to you. "So, are you a fan of the show?" He asked, and you just shrugged.

"I've never seen it. But I want to watch it now. Everyone's been amazing. The cast, the fans. It must be something pretty special." You answered, watching as Jensen started another song with Rob. 

"So, your interest in Jensen is just because of your attraction here? Not because he's an actor?" He asked carefully.

"Him being an actor would have had me running the other way. But it's the fact that he's been kind to me, and he's so amazing. I know it's probably a quick road trip romance, but I really do care for the guy."

"That's what I wanted to know. Jensen hasn't had the greatest of luck with relationships, and I don't want him to get hurt. Just looking out for my buddy." He explained.

Some people would have been hurt, or annoyed, but you thought it was kind. The fact that he was looking out for his friend. You didn't mind at all. Before you could answer him, Jensen was back, a huge smile covering his face as he tried to catch his breath. "Damn, that was fun. What did you think Y/N?"

You stood up, kissing him on the cheek. "I thought you were amazing! I didn't know you could sing like that!"

"It's just a hobby of mine." He said, blushing slightly before turning to Jared. After exchanging quick hugs, Jared left to go hang out with the rest of the crew. "There's one more song I join in, along with the rest of the cast, then we can head back to your place, gather your items."

"My items?" You asked confused. 

He nodded. "Yeah, whatever you need for tonight and tomorrow. There's no way I'm letting you stay by yourself tonight. Not until we get this thing with Brian all figured out."
