Sam and Dean gasped awake and sat up.

"You alright?" Sam asked.

"Define alright." Dean replied.

"Jess?" Sam said aloud. Why hadn't she woken up yet?

Dean turned to look at the girl next to him. She was still dead.

"No." Dean cupped one arm underneath Jessica's neck, and the other around her waist. "No no no." Dean looked the girl over for any signs of life. He saw non—

Jessica's back arched and she sucked in as much air as she could.

"Thank god." Dean chuckled nervously. He thought he had lost her.

"We need to call Cas." Jessica quickly got off of the bed. She walked carefully to the front door.

"Where are you going?" Dean asked.

"I-I need some fresh air." Jessica replied.

"Fresh air?" Dean cocked a brow.

"I just need some time alone to process everything I saw." Jessica sighed. "It'll only be a minute."

"Ok." Dean nodded his head.

Jessica pressed her lips together and opened the door. She closed it behind her and sighed. She didn't want to do this. Not to Dean or Sam. But, if Joshua was right about the Empty. Jessica wanted to keep herself safe just until all of this blew away. She wanted to keep everyone safe.

"He's going to hate me." Jessica sighed. "I shouldn't do this." Jessica was walking towards a light gray Honda. Her fingertips touched the door handle.

"This is silly." Jessica chuckled nervously. She couldn't just leave them. After everything they've been through. She couldn't just leave.

Jessica's hand gripped the door handle and gave it a tug. The door opened with ease.

She got into the car and shut the door. She reached underneath the steering wheel and grabbed two wires. Jessica touched them together and sighed sadly as the engine started.

"But it's for the best." Jessica backed out of the parking spot her car was in and sped towards the exit. She saw Sam and Dean in her rearview mirror. Dean was shouting for her to stop, but Jessica wasn't going to.

She kept her foot on the gas and watched as Sam and Dean began to grow smaller and smaller as she got farther away from them.

"Why?" Dean ran his hands down his face. "Why the hell would she just leave like that?"

"Maybe something spooked her while we were in heaven." Sam shrugged his shoulders as he continued to pack his bag.

"Son of a bitch." Dean muttered.

"What?" Sam cocked a brow.

"It was Joshua." Dean stood up and shook his head. "Before you and I went on that suicide mission I told Jess why she had to stay here."
