The Ambrose Asylum

Chapter Twenty-Four

Dean's POV

We've been driving for a few day straight now to get back on schedule after our detour and now driving through barren northern Utah the town we passed was Tremonton but I haven't killed anyone so progress as AJ says.

She's been distant lately but then again so have I so I can't blame her for ignoring me, it's just hard when the only living company I have is in the same confined space as me.

I know she wants me to be better but years of brainwashing can cause a mental break and sometimes I don't know what I'm doing and when I figure out what I am it's I'm too late and I've already hurt people.

Even if I could be good once I remember what they did all the work vanished into thin air. So I don't see the point in trying anymore, not even for AJ.

"Dean where are we going" she asked interrupting my thoughts.

Silence. I wasn't in a particularly talkative mood I ignored her turning the radio on.

"You refuse to trust me, even though you kidnapped me and brought me halfway across country. Why don't you drop me off at the next town?" She ranted angrily.

I stopped the car in the middle of the road and turned to look at her, "I said it once, theirs no way your ever leaving me."

"Possessiveness strikes again. You know I'm starting to think you hate being alone therefore you crave being around people to silence your insecurities" She stated angrily.

"What's your point AJ?" I asked tired of her talking.

"My point is I don't think you love me, hell I don't think you can even like me" She said quietly.

"What's that suppose to mean?" I asked

"Dean you can't love me if you don't love yourself and you can't love yourself until you forgive what happened in the past. Dean your broken and I can't heal you unless you want to be healed" she told me sadly.

"Get out" I gritted out to her.

"You can't be serious we're in the middle of Utah in winter, start the car" she said sitting back and folding her arms.

"Get out before I drag you out" I spat at her.

"Dean I-" she started to say.

My impatience got to me because she refused to listen and I got out and rounded the car throwing the passenger side door open and forcefully pulling her out throwing her on the snow covered ground.

I started to walk back to the driver side and she ran back in the car, however before she could've close the door I stopped her pulling her back out and slamming her against the side of the car squeezing her neck.

"Either learn to listen and obey or die right here and now" I told her continuing cutting off her air circulation.

She was starting to fade in and out so I let go and glared at her.

"Fine" she muttered

"Say the words" I angrily told her.

"I'll listen and obey you" she told me looking behind me into the snow blanketed forest.

"In the car and keep quiet" I told her leaving room for no discussion.

We both got back into the car with no words exchanged and I got back to driving turning the radio back off because the music was giving me a headache. Aj looked out the window the whole time thinking I suppose.

A never ending cycle......

AJ's POV

This is the first stop in a while that we had, we have been cramped in the car for the last week only stopping when necessary.

It's only been a few hours since we entered Nevada and dean wanted to sleep in a bed once again, even if it's a cheap run down piece of shit.

I was ordered to stay in the car so that's where I currently reside because I value the life I have even if it's completely fucked up. I see dean walking back to the car and I open the door and step out. I grab the small bag that contains our belongings and head over to him a few feet away.

He laces our fingers together and we turn a corner, stopping at room 6G. He unlocks it and we walk in to a room. The room is utter crap the wallpaper is peeling off, the fan above the bed is lose and looks like it might kill us in our sleep if we turn it on high, the bed screams infested. Overall it looks like we just stepped in a messed up version of the 60's and I don't even wanna know about the bathroom.

Dean walks over to the bed after a quick look around and collapses on it and it actually breaks the bed frame in two. I stare shocked at the outcome as he rises back to his feet. "Go get a refund" I tell him careful not to touch anything.

"Can't" he states casually.

"Why?" I ask suspiciously.

"Got the room free of charge" he vaguely explains, however I don't feel the need to ask him to elaborate so I continue to stand by the door.

"Awe sunshine you scared something gonna get you" he mocks walking over to me and standing in my face. To which I replay with a hard yes.

"As long as I'm around nothing and no one will harm you" he states kissing my forehead before grabbing the bag from me and heading toward the bathroom.

No one huh? Does yourself count then? I think to myself slowly sitting on the broken bed hearing it creak more in uneasiness.

I stare at the door pondering how I got to this point in my life. I wonder how this road trip will end whenever we get to the final destination. I have a feeling something bad will happen real soon.
