My ears are still buzzing when I open my eyes. As I look around the room I notice I'm not in my room.

My heart starts racing as I sit up. I hear the faucet in the bathroom turned on. My head is pounding horribly.

My whole body hurts. I smell terrible and I'm dying of thirst. I hear the water turn off and I quickly lay back down pretending to be asleep.

A few minutes later the door opens. My heart is still racing rapidly. I hear footsteps and then silence.

I'm telling myself to not open my eyes because I don't want to see him. Not after everything that happened last night. Not after I blabbed and cried.

My curiosity gets the best of me and I slowly open one eye. Dean is standing in front of me. Wearing a t-shirt some shorts and his hair is wet.

I quickly close my eyes again. "I know you're awake." He says slowly. I keep my eyes shut feeling my body get hot.

"Come on." He says sitting on the bed. I open my eyes and sit up. "I better get going." I say avoiding eye contact.

I get up and look for my shoes. "Aj. We have to talk." He says. I grab my shoes that are lying on the floor and he gets in front of me.

He grabs my wrist and I look up. "Take a seat. Because I won't let you leave." He says quietly. "What about Sasha?"

"I've already talked to her." He says. "She doesn't know you're with me, right?" I say and he looks down. He didn't say anything but he answered my question by simply looking down.

A flashback from last night comes to mind.

"Come on. I'll take you to he hotel." Dean says. I wipe my tears with the back of my hands. "No. I'm leaving with Paige."

"Aj I can't let you go back in there. You're not putting yourself at risk again." He replies grabbing my hand. I pull away embarrassed. I can't even look at him in the eye without feeling my body burst in flames.

"I don't want to be with you." I say looking at my feet. "Are you sure? Because you said otherwise while ago."

I don't say anything and Dean all of the sudden picks me up. He looks me in the eyes and my heart skips a beat.

"Come on. Hold on to me." He's still holding me in his arms and I swallow nervously. "Don't be afraid. I won't bite." He smiles.

My shaky hands wrap around his neck and he starts walking to his car. He opens his passenger door with one hand and slowly puts me down.

He reaches over to buckle me up but stops in front of my face. He's looking at me intensely and for a second I think he's going to kiss me but he doesn't.

He buckles me up and closes the door. He gets in the drivers seat and starts the car. I lay my head against the window.

"What about Sasha?" I ask feeling my eyes get heavy. I close them and Dean says something I can't quite hear.

I'm drifting to sleep when his phone wakes me up. "Speaking of the devil." He says. I try my best to keep my eyes open but it's hard.

I can still hear Dean though. "Sasha... Sasha calm down. I know- I ... I can- Sasha. I can't explain if you won't let me. There that's better. Now listen a friend needs me right now okay? That's why I left. Bayley is there she can drive you back to the hotel I'm sure- Sasha? Hello?"
He sighs closing his phone.

"Aj?" Dean says. I snap back to reality and realize I've been just staring at him for a while. "Okay." I say sitting down.

He sits beside me. "About last night-" I cut Dean off. "There's nothing to talk about. I think I made myself clear."

My face starts tuning hot and he leans closer to me. "You don't have to be embarrassed. It's okay." He whispers. He smells like heaven and this makes me back away harshly.

"I smell really bad." I reply turning away. "Nah. You smell like sugar and roses." He says. I look at him and he grins. "You're a terrible liar."

"I'm not lying."

"Aj. Aj. Come on. Let's take you inside." Dean says shaking me lightly. I groan turning my face the other way.

He grabs me in his arms and closes the door behind. "Dean do you love me? Because Iloveyousomuch." My words start to slur.

"I do. I love you." He says as he's walking in the lobby. I laugh hysterically and I wonder if people are watching. They're probably looking at me weird.

"You're such a bad liar." I say as he presses the elevator button with one of his hands. "I'm not lying Aj."

"Really?" I say finally shaking off the flashbacks from last night. "Yes really." He says. "Okay then. So what are we suppose to talk about?"

"About how much of an ass I am." He says. I don't respond anything and he speaks again. "I'm sorry about everything. I'm sorry for abandoning you. You're right. I am heartless. I'm cruel for leaving you behind. You helped me and you were my closest friend. I cut you off the instant Sasha told me to and it shouldn't be like that. I'm sorry for hurting you. I really am."

I feel a little relieved that he finally apologized. "You believe me right?" He asks holding my hand. I glance down at his hand holding mine and then at him.

"I believe you." I say quietly. "So do you forgive me?" He asks his compelling eyes looking into mine. "Of course. That's what friends do, right?"

He doesn't say anything for a few second but then nods his head. "Right." I get up from the bed again grabbing my shoes once again.

"I better get going. I don't want to cause problems." I say walking to the door. "You don't cause problems."

I nod my head slowly and grab the doorknob without turning around to face him. "Hey Dean?" I whisper. "Yeah?" He answers. "Does this mean we can be friends again?"

My palms are sweating and I'm waiting for him to cut my wings off. "Of course. If you still want to?"

"I'd love to." I reply smiling to myself. "Bye Dean." I walk out of his room and keep smiling at myself like a fool. 

I might not have Dean in my life as a lover but I have him as a friend. It might not be how I want it but I'll take what I can get.
