"Listen, kid. I just said that Santa is going home. Now if you pull my dress one more ti-" I turned around to face the little brat who wouldn't leave me alone so I could clean up and go home.

"Nice to see you, too, babe." Azazel laughed.

I gave him a quick kiss then began to walk towards the mall exit. After three steps I reached down and pulled the stupid bell clad slipper off my foot. "So, you're driving me home?"

"Well, I planned a little picnic on our cliff."

"Cute." he opened the door for me and I slid into his car. "but can we run by my house so I can change? I don't feel like being an elf on our date."

He nodded and we made our way to my house.

"Just... chill with my dads until I'm done." I told him as I walked in the front door.

"Azazel!" Dean greeted him. "Maybe you could help us settle this."

I laughed as I ran up the stairs, glad I wasn't the one you had to listen to them bicker over music or movies or whatever.

I threw on some white jeans and an old Grateful Dead shirt that Jo gave me. It was honestly one of my favorite shirts. The back was all lace and the front had a skull smoking a joint. Priceless.

I wiped the makeup off my face and decided not to put anymore on. Then undid my braids and let it fall all wavy to the middle of my back.

"You assbutt!" I heard Cas yell when I stepped into the living room.

"Hey, you like my assbutt." Dean called back.

"Woah, there! I'm leaving now." I grabbed Azazel's hand and pulled him to the door. "Can we not make sex jokes in front of guests?"

Dean shrugged, "he's over almost everyday."

Cas nodded. "He doesn't count as a guest anymore."

I rolled my eyes and said my goodbyes before hopping in the car with Azazel.

When we got to our cliff Azazel pulled two blankets out of the car and laid on down on the ground for us to sit on. He pulled two sandwiches from subway out of a bag and handed one to me, then pulled out two gatorades and gave me the blue one.

"This is great. I've missed this place while I was in the hospital." I said with a mouth full of sandwich.

"Well, I've missed you." he smiled up at me. "And there's something I've been needing to ask you."

"What is it?"

"On the day before Christmas my family is having a huge dinner and I would like you to be there."

I finished chewing the food in my mouth and thought over what he said. "Crowley is going to be there?"

"Of course. He's my cousin."

I shrugged. "I don't think it's a good idea."

"Well, I want you there." Azazel scoffed.

"How many times do I have to break the fucker's nose before people realize not to bring me around him?" I laughed.

Apparently he didn't find it funny because he slapped the sandwich out of my hand. It landed a couple feet away from me.

"I was eating that." I glared at him.

"I don't care. Wouldn't kill you to skip a couple meals, anyway." He stood up then helped me to my feet since it was hard to do while wearing the boot. "So, you're coming to the dinner." it wasn't a question. I had no choice.

"Azazel, I don't want to be around him."

Then he slapped me hard across the face and I fell backwards onto the hard floor. I could feel my lip already swelling and knew there would be a bruise tomorrow.

"You're going whether you like it or not. And you are going to act like a lady, I'm tired if your self-righteous bullshit. You're a girl. Learn your fucking place Kennedy." he said then got into the drivers seat of the car.

I struggled to my feet while holding back tears. He drove me back home.

He walked me inside and placed a loving hand on the small of my back as I asked Dean and Cas about letting me go to his family dinner. It was hard to believe it was the same hand that had hit me not even twenty minutes ago.

They of course thought it was a great idea. Azazel agreed with them. He pressed a loving kiss to my forehead and told me he would text me later.

When he left I went upstairs, claiming that I needed to shower. On my way to my room I ran into Mika and nearly fell on my ass but she caught me.

"Slow down there, turbo." she laughed and I but my lip to hold back the tears that wanted to escape my eyes so badly. "Hey, is everything okay?"

I nodded and gave her a smile, "everything's great."

She stared into my eyes for a few more moments before letting me go.

When I got to the shower I fell to my knees and sobbed.
