Devil In Me (Jack Kline/Supernatural)

10. Panic! At The Motel

"What the hell are you two doing?" Dean asked from behind us. I immediately withdrew from Jack, stepping as far away as I could.

"I believe we were just kissing..." Jack said, two fingers touching his lips.

"Excuse me?" Dean asked. His fists were clenched and the muscle in his clenched jaw was twitching.

"What's going on?" Sam asked, stepping into view like he was entering a war zone and needed to be cautious.

"These two were locking lips and sharing DNA!" Dean growled, hands thrown in the air at us, as if we were on exhibit.

Sam turned to us, looking confused. "Is it true?"

I exploded, feeling so overwhelmed with emotion. "For fuck sakes, I can't kiss Jack?! Is that a crime punishable by death?" My fists clenched at my sides so hard my nails bit into my palms and drew blood.

"Lapis, he's just a kid, and so are you. Do you really think he needs to know about dating right now?" Sam asked, trying to keep me, and everyone else, calm.

"It was heat of the fucking moment, Sam, damn! Let me fucking breathe for once!" My chest rose and fell rapidly and I couldn't get enough air into my legs. The room began to spin slightly and my heart was beating so fast, it could rip through my chest and fly off like a helicopter.

"She's having a panic attack." Sam said, alarmed. He immediately shot towards me, pulling me against his chest and sliding down the wall to the floor. His hand rubbed up and down my back, his voice whispering soothing words into my ear.

"Fuck, Lapis, I'm sorry!" Dean apologized, looking pained.

"Just leave me a-alone!" I yelled. It was moments like this that made me wish I was still a demon simply so I could throw the boys away from me.

"Come on, Jack. Let's go do some research." Cas said, pulling on Jack's arm. The young nephilim looked hurt, like he didn't want to leave me in my most vulnerable state.

"I-I want to help her..." Jack said, looking back at me.

"I've got it, Jack. It's fine." Sam assured him, rubbing my back. I curled up into him despite wanting him to leave me be. He wouldn't, he would never. He wasn't that type of guy.

"Sammy...?" I whimpered, gripping his plaid flannel in my fist.

"Sh, sh, just breathe. It's all okay." He whispered, rocking gently back and forth.

"Are you mad at me?" I asked, feeling tears well up in my eyes.

"For kissing Jack? Why would I be mad? No one's mad at you. We all are just... concerned, that's all." He said, placing a kiss to my forehead.

"I want to go to bed." I whimpered again, burying my face in his chest and trying not to heave out a sob. I hated feeling this way.

I felt Sam carefully lift us both up and carry me to his bed. He gently placed me on the bed and covered me up. "Rest for now, okay?"

"Okay..." I mumbled, curling up against the surprisingly soft motel bed. I closed my eyes and sniffled, trying to calm myself down. Everything would turn out okay, I knew it would. I would just have to avoid Jack for the rest of my life.

~~~

When I awoke, the boys were gone. A text on my phone told me they were researching for the hunt and would be back before lunch. Honestly, I wasn't betting on it, but at least I had some alone time to think for myself.

Getting out of the motel bed, I took a shower and got dressed for the day. I didn't know what to do, so I pulled up my laptop and did some more research for the boys.

After a few hours, the boys reentered the motel room. Sam and Cas looked concerned, while Jack looked the weight of the world was crushing down on his shoulders.

"What happened?!" I asked as I immediately stood from my position on the couch.

"Things went wrong." Sam said simply.

"How wrong?" I quirked an eyebrow and watched as Jack sat on the couch next to me, head in his hands.

"He used his powers on the ghoul but he hit a security guard, killing him..." Sam explained, frowning. The lines in his forehead creased and a frown formed on my lips as I looked at them.

"I'll take care of this. You guys take the kid back to the bunker." Dean said.

"I'll stay with you." I offered.

"You're in no condition. Go." He replied, jerking his head towards the door as he said so. With a defeated sigh, I grabbed my things and headed to the Impala.

~~~

I sat in the back with Jack. Cas and Sam explained ti him that shit like this happened and that they themselves had done some terrible things.

"Remember, Jack, I was a demon once. I was the princess of Hell. I fought against the Winchesters and caused them trouble. Now, they are my family." I placed my hand gently on his shoulder, trying to show him I was there for him.

He shrugged my shoulder off violently, making me frown and retract my hand to my chest.

"Just stop it, okay?!" He hissed. I looked at Sam and Cas, their eyes looking back at me through the rearview mirror. This was going to go bad. I could feel it, and I'm sure they could, too.

~~~

Dean walked through the door silently. Cas, Sam, and I looked up at him. Jack was still severely upset.

"Did you-?" Sam started, asking if Dean took care of the accidental murder that happened back in dodge city.

"I did. All taken care of." Dean said, standing at the head of the table.

"Did he have a name?" Jack asked with rage and hurt in his voice.

"Jack..." Sam warned.

"No!" He snapped. "Did he have a family?"

Dean sighed and nodded. "Yes."

Jack shook his head and took a few steps away from us. "I'm only going to hurt you. I can't do that. You all mean so much to me... I'm sorry."

"Jack?" I asked, standing and walking closer to him. My heart hammered in my chest and goosebumps rose on my skin. The bad feeling was coming back.

"I need to leave so I don't hurt you." He said, looking at me. I could see the pain on his face. It broke my heart.

Sam stepped close to Jack and I. Jack moved on reflex and Sam jerked back in fear, pulling me with him.

"You're afraid of me..." He whispered, looking as pained and hurt as Dean did when we lost Cas.

"No, we aren't, Jack. You don't have to do this." Cas tried to reassure him.

"I have to. I'm sorry." He shot his hand up and expelled a blast of golden energy. The boys and I were thrown back, causing us to be vulnerable and incapable of stopping the nephilim from disappearing.

"JACK!" I screamed, looking at the spot he had just been standing in. He was gone, with nothing but the flutter of wings echoing in my ears.

A/N: I'll probably skip the next two episodes and go straight to episode 9. I might include a little filler chapter to show how Lapis is coping with Jack being gone but I'm not sure yet. Anyway, thank you all so much for your support this far! Sorry it took so long to update.
