Chance Encounters

Support System

As you made your way to the green room with your presents, you heard your name being called. Turning around, you saw Maureen rushing up to you, out of breath. she looked nervous, and uncomfortable, and you immediately knew something was wrong. "What is it?" You asked her, waiting for her to catch her breath.

"It's Brian. He's in a mood this morning and actually made his way to the convention area." She rambled off fast.

"What? He never goes down there!" You exclaimed, your palms starting to sweat under the pile of Christmas presents. 

"I know. He's causing all sorts of commotion, and it's not good. He said he's looking for you." She replied, looking just as frantic as you felt.

"Damn it." You muttered to yourself, before passing off the Christmas presents. "Here, take these to the green room. They have names on each of them, and someone will help you pass them out. I'll go deal with him."

She nodded, balancing the presents in her arms. "Oh, and Maureen, if I'm not back soon, can you please let Jensen know." You asked of her. You didn't want to pull Jensen away from his convention, but you weren't sure how things would go with Brian, and you knew he would be the only one to help you.

"You mean, talk to him?" She stuttered. "But he's an actor, and I'm..."

You placed your hand on her shoulder, trying to calm her while inside you were shaking with nerves. "Jensen is a nice guy, actually he's great. He will listen to what you have to say."

She nodded, and the two of you split ways, her heading the back hallways to the green room while you steeled yourself for a visit with Brian. The bruise was still visible on your face, and you hadn't bothered to cover it this morning. You wanted Brian to see what he had done to you. As you walked down the hallway, you heard a big commotion in the hallway, and you saw Jensen exiting a room, a trio of bodyguards surrounding him, including Cliff. He noticed you, but before you could make your way over to him, you had an angry Brian in your face. "Y/N! I've been searching for you everywhere! Doesn't even surprise me that your not even doing your job. I don't know why I put up with you."

You were seething. You had had enough of Brian, his attitude and his sexual harassment towards you. "Brian, is there something you needed? Because as you can see, there is a convention happening that I happen to be in charge of."

Your smart tone, and your snappy words had his face turning red. Not paying attention to those around him, he grabbed you by the upper arm, planning on dragging you to an empty room. You dug in your heels, knowing what could happen if it happened. "Is everything okay here?" A familiar voice asked, and you turned to see Jensen's bodyguard, Cliff, staring down at you in concern. He was an imposing figure, with his arms crossed and a frown on his face. 

"As you can see, we are busy." Brian sneered, his hand tight on your arm. "Now if you'll excuse us, we have to discuss her job."

"Y/N, Jensen was worried, and doesn't want you to be alone." Cliff said, pointedly staring at Brian. "He asked me to stay with you."

"Thank you Cliff. I appreciate that very much." You said, as Brian dropped his hand. "Would you mind coming with us to my office while Brian discusses my job?"

Brian's face was completely red, and he huffed out a breath, realizing he was stuck. "You know what, I just remembered something. Y/N, this isn't over. We will talk, today." He said, before rushing away as fast as his over stuffed body would let him.

As soon as he was gone, you felt the tension leave your body. "Thank you for that Cliff." You told the giant teddy bear of a man.

"Jensen was worried." Was all he said, before the two of you headed towards the green room. You went into the full room, more than happy to see all of the supernatural cast in the room, getting ready to open presents.

"Y/N!" Kim exclaimed, rushing forward and pulling you into a tight hug. "You didn't have to get us presents!"

"I wanted to." You told her, hugging her tightly back. She pushed you back gently, wincing at your cheek, but you shrugged her off. "You guys have been nothing but kind to me, and I wanted to repay that somehow."

"Not to be cheesy, but you kind of have." Said Rich as he came forward, the scarf you had given him wrapped around his neck. "You've made Jensen happy, so we don't have to deal with his grumpy ass."

"Hey, I'm not always grumpy." Jensen's voice growled from behind you, and you jumped. 

"Jensen!" You exclaimed, throwing yourself into his arms even though it hadn't been that long since you'd seen him. 

"Hey guys." He said, before grasping your hand. "Y/N, can I talk to you for a moment?"

You nodded, letting him pull you to the corner of the green room. "I hope you don't mind that I sent Cliff to help you out. I wanted nothing more than to head over there, beat the crap out of the guy. But I figured it wasn't the best thing to do in front of the fans."

"Cliff was amazing. But he's still insisting it's not over. Jensen, I'm afraid I'm going to lose this job today. The big bosses will never believe me." You said sadly, as you wondered what you would be doing after tonight.

"You can come back with me!" Jensen said surprisingly. "I know we haven't known each other very long. But there's a lot of hotels up in Vancouver that put on events like this one, and you can stay with me until you're back on your feet. Or as long as you want." He suggested. 

"Jensen, that's so nice of you to offer. But I don't want to impose." You said, feeling as if the only reason Jensen wanted you with him was because he felt sorry for you. "I'll figure out something."

"My offer still stands." He said, before leaning forward and brushing his lips across yours, ignoring the catcalls on the other side of the room. "But promise me. No matter what happens, don't be alone with that man. I've got my other bodyguards, keep Cliff with you."

"I can't do that." You argued. "Cliff is paid to be with you. I'll be fine, and I'll have him on speed dial."

You heard Jensen sigh, knowing you wouldn't give in. He then looked at everyone opening their presents. "Where'd the presents come from?"

"Me." You said shyly, just as Jared came over, handing Jensen a small wrapped box.

Jared had already opened his, and was wearing the scarf you had picked out for him. Without knowing everyone very well, you had gone for generic gifts for everyone except for Jensen. And you were a little nervous about his gift. "You bought us presents?" He asked, holding the box as he looked at you.

"Of course. You've all been amazing, I wanted to do something." You said, and he ripped open the paper. Inside was a jewelry box, and he gingerly opened it, where a dark jade bracelet lay. You had noticed him wearing bracelets, and you had fallen in love with this bracelet. The rounded stones color reminded you of his eyes, and it had a small guitar charm on it. 

"It's amazing!" He said, taking it out of the box and slipping it on his wrist, right next to the others. "I love it!"

"I'm glad." You answered, as he pulled you in for a tight hug.
