Once Nicole got home her face dropped. Her mother was smoking a cigarette beside an unknown man on the bed she and her mother share. "can you close the windows?" she was staring straight at her so she had no choice but to obey. She moved to her left to close the open window then tip toeing so that they won't be interrupted. She was finally on the last window which was located at the right end of the room. The grey haired lady noticed something at the bottom of the window so she decided to lean in and stick her head out of it. While looking around, she felt a poke on her chin. It was the wounded boy staring and waiting for a reaction. She looked down and almost shrieked to find him there. Dean glanced at the corridor and back at her signaling her to go there with him. Nicole nodded, she had to. It was partially her fault that he got bashed with a bat.
"I have some errands to run." Nicole informed her mother. "no dinner for you then." The mother replied, no expression whatsoever. "okay fine" she argued back in her head. She went out and slowly closing the door behind her and spotted the boy leaning against the wall. Nervously, Nicole stepped towards him. "you're gonna have to pay for this" was the first thing he said, pointing at his head with dried up blood. She just stared at him as if she's convincing him to forgive her. The sight made Dean snort and held the bridge of his nose. "follow me." He walked looking for a specific alley to find his place. While walking, he turned around and noticed the girl following but sighing whenever she took a step. He sighed and rolled his eyes then continued to make his way towards his house.
they finally reached the place, nicole looked around 'regret' pastered all over her face. The alley where everything started. "come in" Dean turned around and smirked at the young lady that stood behind her" Nicole didn't know why but her heart beated faster when he did that. 'maybe I'm just nervous.. wait I AM nervous. I don't even know what this guy's gonna do with me' her mind started racing as well but it all stopped when he heard the boy laugh for the second time. when she looked up, he stopped laughing and bluntly said "you really need to control your thoughts and stop saying them out loud".
Dean dragged her into his place and told her to sit on the stool. he got out a first aid kit that he stole from a merchant when he was younger. Luckily Nicole knew her way with treating wounds, she used to treat her father when her mother used to beat them up. Elijah and Damon came home, surprised at the very rare scene. Damon rolled his eyes and greeted them with a "ew what is this? " Dean hitting him in return.
Dean took his time to review Nicole's features and realized she was WAY more attractive than he thought. her big brown orbs shining like those lights he used to see at night. Nicole finally was finished and actually calmed down, she let out a sigh of satisfaction but then her stomach growled. He stood up without saying a word and went to the table and grabbed an orange and gave it to her. "thanks" she stuttered. they both looked around feeling the awkwardness in the room. it was a really bad idea but she really needed a place to stay and Dean was more than happy to give his bed and slept on the floor. Actually, he was the only one with a bed. The two boys just sleep all over the floor.
"you're being nice, what happened? is it because your head got damaged? what?" Damon continued on asking himself while staring at the floor. Elijah just laughed and ran his hand through his hair.
"shut up"
