Shot through the heart

Chapter 2

I get back home and Dean immediately runs towards me. I'm clutching my shoulder where Gabriel stabbed me. "What the hell happened?" Dean asks worriedly while guiding me to the infirmary. "I got into a little fight and got stabbed." I lie, don't know why I'm lying to Dean. "I'll hunt the asshole down and give him what he deserves." Dean says angrily. "No need for, I did that myself plus a nice kick to the place where the sun don't shine." I tell Dean with a small grin. "That's my girl." Dean says and he puts me on a bed, the doctor runs in to take care of my wounds and somebody else ushers Dean out of the room. While the doctor takes care of my wounds I think about Gabriel, he obviously is hired to kill me and yet he doesn't. After a while the doctor lets me go, if I promise to be careful with my shoulder. I promise it him and walk out, immediately greeted by a worried mom, dad, Dean, Sam and Adam. "Guys, I'm fine." I say and I try walking past them but they won't let me. "What?" I ask getting pissed off. "Who did this?" my dad asks and I look at him. "A random person okay, I already took care of it." I tell him and I try getting past my family again. "Honey please, who did this?" my mom asks and I sigh. "I don't know his name and like I've said, I already took care of it." I say and Sam steps aside. I walk past him and Adam grabs my arm. "If something else happened please tell somebody." he says and I nod. "Nothing else happened though." I say and I yank my arm from his grip on me. "Now if you'll excuse me, I've got to change. " I say and I walk to my room. I close the door and lock it. I sit down on my bed and start thinking again. I wasn't lying when I told Gabriel he was cute, and I knew full well it was him. Later when we were in the woods he seemed sad to hurt me and he didn't even try to kill me. I thought that if I invoked him it would be easier but he just looked more troubled. I growled frustrated before taking off my shirt and throwing it across the room. I walked to my closet, still deep in thought. I grabbed a new shirt and put it on. When I look out my window I am kind of disappointed when I don't see Gabriel, I don't know why though. I walk back over to my bed and I plop down on it. The painkillers the doc gave me make me sleepy. I close my eyes and fall asleep.

It's been a few days since I met up with Gabriel and he still confuses me. He also still has my favorite gun, which pisses me off even more. I'm currently trying to read a book, key word being trying considering my thoughts keep going back to the golden haired, whiskey eyed guy. Suddenly somebody knocks on my door and I sigh. "Come in." I say and the door opens revealing Sam. "Hiya moose." I greet him before noticing a gift wrapped box in his hands. "Somebody has just left this, don't know what it is but it's for you." Sam tells me and I nod taking the gift from him. "Thanks moosey." I say teasingly. Sam gives me a bitchface and walks out. I cautiously open the gift, revealing a letter on top of a box. I open the letter. "Thought you might wanted this back, love Ken Smith." I read out loud. I grin knowing it's from Gabriel. I open the box and see my gun. I grab it and check for my bullets. They're all still there so that means he didn't shoot with my gun. I look out the window smiling like an idiot. I can't see Gabriel but that doesn't mean he isn't there. I decide to send him a text anyway to thank him. I grab my phone and send Gabriel a simple thank you. "Chris are you coming, dinner's ready!" Dad shouts from downstairs and I rush down the stairs. We have dinner and after that I retreat back to my room. My phone buzzes and I look down at it. "You're welcome, want to have dinner?" Gabriel sends me. I smile and grab my phone to reply before Dean walks into my room. "What are you doing here?" I ask him. "Why are you smiling like that?" Dean asks me. "No particular reason." I tell him. "Sure, anyway I've got to hide from Adam." Dean tells me. "Go hide in Sam's room." I tell him but Dean shakes his head. "he's still mad at me for my last prank on him." Dean says with a proud smile. "Just leave please." I beg him but Dean shakes his head again. "Nope, I need to hide so I'm hiding here." He says and I growl frustrated. I look back at my phone, thinking about Gabriel's offer. He doesn't want to kill me, that much is clear. My phone buzzes again and I look down at it again. "If you don't want to that's fine." I read the text quietly. "Do what?" Dean asks and he steals my phone. "Give it back." I say and I try grabbing my phone but Dean is taller and he's holding my phone above his head. "Ooh, a date. With who?" Dean asks and he looks at the contact. Dean stiffens and looks at me. "You're not going." Dean says and I try to grab my phone. "I am." I tell him. "No you're not. Chrissie you do understand he's an enemy and he's probably going to kill you." Dean tells me and I growl. "I'm going, I'm old enough to decide who I date and who I sleep with." I tell Dean, hopefully giving him the idea I slept with Gabriel. "Clearly not, this will be mine for a while and you're grounded." Dean says and he shuts off my phone. "You can't tell me what to do, you're not my dad." I tell Dean. "No, I'm not your dad but I doubt you want dad to be involved with this." Dean says and he has a point. "Fine." I growl. "Good girl." Dean says teasingly. I huff and turn my back towards him. "Chris, I'm only doing this to protect you." Dean tells me. "Whatever, how long am I grounded?" I ask him. "Until we've eliminated Gabriel." Dean tells me and I almost suck in a surprised breath, I don't want Gabriel dead. "Please don't kill him." I quietly beg Dean. "Chris, Gabriel is a threat and you know what happens to threats to the Winchester family." Dean says and I nod, still not looking at him. "But can't you just tell him to leave me alone?" I quietly ask Dean. "No, he needs to die. I'm sorry Chris, but he's got you head over heels for him. It's dangerous and I don't want you hurt. Chris look at me, I'm protecting you." Dean says and I shake my head. "No, you're just hurting me." I tell him and my voice cracks. Dean sighs and walks out the door, undoubtedly to go and kill Gabriel. I hear the door close and a sob escapes my mouth. I bury my face in my pillow, sobbing like no one can hear. Suddenly my door opens again but I don't look at who walked in. Whoever it is closes the door and sits down next to me on my bed. "Why are you crying?" Sam asks and he pulls me up on his lap. I bury my face in his chest, not wanting him to tell him anything. "Talk to me Chris, maybe we can fix it." Sam tells me and I shake my head. A sudden fury overcomes me and I start pounding on Sam's chest with my fists, shouting insults that are meant for Dean. Sam doesn't do a single thing, he lets me get my anger out. After a while I calm down again and look my big brother in the face. "Why are you crying?" Sam repeats his earlier question while brushing my hair out of my face and wiping a few tears away. "I fell in love." I quietly tell Sam. "That's not bad." Sam tells me not understanding why I'm crying. "Dean wants to kill the man I fell in love with." I continue. "I'll talk to him, but why does he want to kill him?" Sam asks the question I kind of feared. "Gabriel Novak." I answer so quiet that I'm surprised that Sam even heard. "That's a little problem yeah." He says and he hugs me. "Don't worry though, you should be able to love whoever you want to." Sam whispers and I hug back. "Thanks." I whisper and I feel Sam nodding against my shoulder. "Okay, that's enough hugging, I need to go convince Dean to not kill your prince on the white horse." Sam says and he pats my back. I giggle and let go of him. Sam smiles at me and he takes me of his lap. He puts me down on my bed and tucks me in. "Goodnight kiddo." He says and I smile. "Goodnight Sammy." I say and I close my eyes. Sam walks out and closes my door. I open my eyes again, already knowing that I wouldn't be able to sleep... ever again. Three soft knocks on my window makes me jump and I reach for my gun under my pillow. I grab it and quietly walk towards my window. I look outside and see Gabriel sitting there, waving at me. "Do you have a death wish? There's easier ways to kill yourself." I tell him as I open the window. "Yeah, like yelling at a guy who's holding an AK-47, I did that once." He tells me before climbing in through my window. "Dean is going to kill you." I tell him, my voice cracking again. "I know, that's what got you so worked up, right?" Gabriel asks and I nod, my eyes burning with the tears I desperately want to keep in. "You know about that and still you're here." I whisper, not trusting my own voice. "Of course, I needed to see if you were okay. Dean texted me with your phone, telling me and I quote; I'm going to kill you, you son of a bitch, love Dean." Gabriel tells me and he cups my cheek. "What did you tell him?" I ask Gabriel. His eyes sparkle with mischief. "I told him to bite me even though I'd love it if you bit me." He tells me and I giggle quietly. "You're an idiot." I tell Gabriel and he pulls a weird face, making me laugh. "No Chrissie, I'm your clown." Gabriel says and he softly kisses my forehead. I giggle and look him in the eyes. "Gabe, I think I love you." I tell him. "You can't believe how hard I've fallen for you, beautiful." He tells me and he leans forward, our foreheads are now touching. "I hope you didn't hurt yourself when you did." I whisper. Gabriel chuckles and looks at me, suddenly going serious. "This will hurt us both but, I've got to leave for a while. Just long enough for Dean to get his head out of his ass and see how in love we are and that I would never hurt you." Gabriel tells me and I quickly grab his arms. "NO! Please, stay." I beg him, tears burning behind my eyes again. "I've got to, it'll hurt less than when I'm dead." Gabriel tells me and he softly grabs my hands. He grabs my fingers and makes me let him go. Gabriel kisses my fingers and then he walks back to my window. "Please believe me when I say that we can get through this." He says and he climbs out my window. I walk to my window and watch him go before I start crying again. I hate this for happening! I hate Dean for making this happen! I hate my family for wanting to kill all the Novaks! I hate my life! Why can't I have nice things like normal girls? I know why, because I'm not normal and I'll never be. I walk to my bed and plop down on it. Downstairs I can hear Sam and Dean fighting, because I fell in love. Wouldn't it be better if I died? No, Gabriel has left me so he can stay alive and we can get together after this has been dealt with. I need to stay alive for him, so we can get together when this is over. With that thought I close my eyes and fall asleep.
