He lay on the cold earth.

Fear. Pain. Blood. Darkness.

Someone was crouching over him, light shinning through her hair.

Someone, some name hovering just out of reach. A face. A tear.

"Sammy?" The voice was musical, the kind that could tell bedtime stories and sing lullabies all its life.

Waiting, a sense of loneliness, of being incomplete.

"Sam sweetie, you can get up now."

"Bye Sammy."

He opened his eyes. A beautiful face floated above him. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

A voice from a world falling apart, holding together until loneliness took over.

"Jess?" His voice was hoarse, she grinned down at him.

"I…I'm gonna miss you."

He turned his head, wincing as bone grated against bone.

Probably as close to an admission of caring as he'd ever get.

"Mum?"

"Dean" His voice was fading, barely filling the silence that had fallen, heavy with things unsaid between them.

She nodded, a face he knew only from pictures.

"I'm sorry"

"You can come with us now honey, it won't hurt any more."

Through the darkness clouding his vision he had no way of telling if Dean has heard him.

"No." His voice was stronger now as he carefully pulled himself up against the wall.

"There's someone I have to wait for."

The women exchanged glances over his head and stood up.

"Alright." Mary said "We'll wait for you on the other side."

All alone in the darkness he sat. It was still cold, but he didn't mind that. There was no pain, only patience, a patience that would last as long as it had to.

"I'm sorry too Sammy."
