TRIGGER WARNINGS will be added in each summary of the chapter if necessary. Be aware that the tags are not finished and will be updated accordingly!
The eating disorder is only lightly touched on and Alcoholism is mentioned once but I wanted to add the trigger so people were well informed, I do not wish to upset anyone with misleading information.

Notes:

I know I feel bad over the extremely short chapter but I'm hoping it will give people who are new to this series the chance to catch up before reading this new story

Chapter Text

Phoebe threw her bag in the trunk of her car as she sighed, she felt trapped, isolated and frustrated, she needed to get out and hunt, she knew it was always an issue when she left, Jane walked down the drive stopping to say something as Phoebe looked up "don't say it, I'll be back soon mom” Jane walked over to the car as Phoebe got into the driver’s side “sweetheart please, you were gone over a month last time, I was worried sick that something got you” Phoebe started the engine and looked up at Jane, she had tears in her eyes from the fear of losing her daughter again “if I don’t come home you know what to do!” Jane let a tear slip over as she looked down and sighed “I know that but I just wish you wouldn’t go, we need you here” she looked at the road with an emotionless face, her body tense and stiff “I have to, I can’t live this apple pie life, its not me and I'm going insane trying to make it work!” Jane let go of the car as she turned her back, there was no arguing with Phoebe her mind was made up and she was leaving even if she had to fight “just come home please” she walked back up to the house as Phoebe put her foot on the gas speeding down the road out of sight.

Phoebe walked down the street looking for the police station as she fumbled about trying to push the fake FBI badge into the holder, she looked up momentarily then froze, a single black car caught her eye, a 67 Chevy, she looked to the numberplate praying for it not to be real, she read the numberplate to herself "KAZ 2Y5" she felt her breath catch in her throat as the realisation that Dean is here hit her, she couldn't risk seeing him, she wasn't ready to face him after all this time, she turned to bolt to her car as she started to run she slammed into the man behind her "I'm sorry, I didn't see you" she moved away and started to walk past him as he grabbed her arm and pulled her back “I knew it was you, what are you doing here?” Phoebe looked up fearing the worst as she saw Sam’s face, it wasn't the face she wanted to see but it was better than Deans “oh thank god it's just you, I thought you were dea..." Phoebe stopped herself mid-sentence and thought before continuing "a demon I thought you were a demon” Sam looked at her raising an eyebrow, he couldn't believe after all this time she decided to come back, he thought this was over “we agreed that it was best for you and Dean to stay away from each other, you said you didn’t want to see him again! Why now what do you want?” Phoebe pulled her arm away from his grasp, she was beyond pissed that he thought she was stalking them, how dare Sam think he can treat her like this “the same thing you and Dean are doing here Sam! I saw the car and I’m leaving, you're not worth stalking!” Sam looked back seeing the Impala parked up the road, he turned back to face Phoebe as Dean walked out of the diner “it’s too late!” This was the last thing Phoebe wanted right now and she couldn't stop it from happening, if Sam had left her to bold and not treated her like she was worthless she would have been out of town by now, Sam watched as Dean walked up the road his face turning from angry to nervous, he laughed slightly as he got closer realising the girl with her back to him was talking to Sam, there was something oddly familiar about her and he couldn't quite put his finger on it but knew he had met her before “you ran out on me after a girl, never thought I’d see the day Sammy, so who is it?” Phoebe slowly turned around as Sam tried to stop her by shaking his head, she was about to face the man she loved for the first time since he left her and she sure as hell was not ready for that, she looked up at Dean as he looked down at her, he felt his body tense up and freeze yet his heart suddenly burned with need “Phoebe!?”
