Chapter Text
"What do you want, Jensen?"
I spun around on the bar stool to meet the handsome face of Jared Padalecki.
"I needed to speak to you," I replied, hoping he wouldn't walk away right now.
Jared sat down on the stool next to me, lifting his hand up in quick waving motion to the bartender, asking for a beer.
"Well then, speak," Jared addressed me cooly.
"I... I miss you. Ever since you left me all those years ago, I can't ever get you off my mind. I have a boyfriend but he never satisfies me like you did and I just-"
"Jensen, stop." The bartender gave Jared his open drink. He took a gulp of it. He turned to look at me, "I missed you too, okay? But I have a family now. I'm busy with going through a divorce. I just... I don't want anymore drama," he took another gulp.
"Divorce? Why?" I asked, stunned.
"After what happened with you, everything between us changed. We had more children hoping it'd help us become closer again, but it didn't work out. We just don't love each other anymore," another gulp.
I looked down at my hands on the bar, "I'm sorry, Jared -"
Jared held up a large hand to silence me.
"Please, don't apologize. It wasn't your fault. You were a kid," I was in the wrong.
"No Jared!" I snapped angrily, looking up at him again, "I wasn't just a kid. I loved you and I just-"
My thought stopped working, fear running through my whole body.
"What is it Jen?" Jared asked, looking in my line of view.
It only took one word for Jared to bolt out of his seat.
"Collins."
Jared was hitting Collins repeatedly, drawing more and more blood out of his nose.
"Get off of him," a girl screamed.
I reached out trying to pry Jared of the man, but that was the wrong move.
Jared's elbow hit my in the eye.
I couldn't hear anything as I fell to the ground, I couldn't even hear Jared as he held onto me.
The next thing I knew, I met darkness.

"Come on Jen, wake up," I heard a familiar voice call out to me.
I slowly opened my eyes to meet Jared's, a slow grin starting on his face.
"Gosh Jensen, I thought you were gone," he laughed lowly.
"Well you do have a mean elbow," I replied, happy to be in his arms. "Where are we?"
Jared's smile disappeared. "My house."
"Oh."
"Gen knows," he stated.
"Knows what?" I ask, genuinely confused.
"About us all those years ago."
"Oh."
I slowly start to sit up, Jared's arm still around my shoulder.
"Wait Jensen," Jared suddenly said loudly.
"What?" And before any warning a giant beast was on me, licking at my face furiously.
"Sadie, off! Now!" After what seemed to be hours of dog breath, the thing was finally off me.
I was just in time to see a dog's tail disappear out the door, to which I presumed to be the master's bedroom.
I sat on the huge bed, next to Jared who had his signature grin on his face.
"What happened to Collins?"
Jared shrugged, "I was too concerned about you to notice what happened to the douchebag. Most likely broke his nose. I'm sorry about your eye by the way,"
I blinked slowly, small sudden shots of pain starting from my right eye.
"It's fine, it was my fault," I assured Jared.
Jared leaned in towards me.
"Shut up Jensen. Nothing was ever your fault," and then his lips were on mine, his tongue in my mouth, giving me a taste of something all too familiar.
Jared pulled back, only to say three simple words: "I love you."

EPILOGUE
"Bye Jay! I'm going to work," I yelled out into the house.
The dogs skidded around the corner, running right at me.
I crouched down, eloping them in a huge hug.
"Bye you buggers," I said fondly.
"Bye babe, don't work your ass too hard," Jared told me.
I stood up to give him a kiss.
"Don't worry, I'll save my ass for you,"
"Haha Jen," Jared pulled me in for a quick kiss on the lips. "Oh, by the way, the kids are coming over here for the weekend," he reminded me.
"Yes, I know you fuckwit."
"You better not use that kind of language when they are here." He told me strictly.
"Whatever you say, Sir," I mock salute, smiling widely. "I love you," I tell him, hugging him and kissing him one more time.
"I love you too, forever until the end."
