Another Broken Promise

Dean stalked toward the car, the chip on his shoulder evident as his jaw clenched tight…he bit his tongue to stop from out and out screaming at his little brother…

Sam followed behind at a distance, his down-turned head and tense frame bearing witness to the fact that he knew what he did was wrong. He looked up at his brother's rigid figure some distance ahead of him..."Dean…I…know I shouldn't have…" he began, but he was unable to finish…Dean whipped around to look at him, the anger seething inside him burned hottest in his jade green eyes…he slammed the door of the Impala…

"You're Damn right you shouldn't have!!!! How could you Sam?!?! You promised!! You promised me you wouldn't!!!!! Do you want to die? Is that it? Do you have a death wish?!?! They will kill you Sammy…" his voice broke as spoke those terrible words, he looked away for a moment to collect himself…"…they'll kill you…I can't….live…through that again…I won't live through that again…" he said, turning his back to his brother and leaning against the car, his head sunk low…his solid frame collapsed inward under the weight of the sadness and fear the thought provoked…

Sam's heart sank, his eyes gleaming with unshed tears…he knew how badly his brother was hurting…and he was the cause…again… he walked around the hood of the Impala…Dean looked up as he approached, tears visible as they made their way down his cheeks. Sam gripped his brother tightly, hugging him fiercely…"I'm sorry…it'll never happen again…I won't use them again." he said, stepping back to look into Dean's eyes…"I won't…I promise."
