A new story I started writing after getting locked in the office where I work(long story) lol , I had to wait for an hour for security to come back and let me out, so I started to write this after reading so many "Drunk Dad" John stories I was inspired.

Sorry I had to completely mess around with the time line for this story but it's all AU anyway.

Adam is 15

Sam is 18

Dean is 21

Chapter 1

Dean glanced at the clock for what seemed like the hundredth time in the last ten minutes finally it struck 3.00PM which meant Adam would be home soon. Dad was still out probably getting wasted somewhere celebrating he's latest hunt, although he was meant to be researching on a possible demon possession. Dean sat back looking up at the dirty ceiling of their grubby little motel room.

God I wish Sam was still hear

Sam had only been studying at Stanford for a couple of weeks now but the aftermath of he's fight with Dad were still being felt. Dad had always been prone to violent outbursts after what had happened to Mum, but when ever he'd did hit one of them in the past he was always full of remorse afterwards not now though, now he'd either laugh out how weak they where or would get even madder when they couldn't or wouldn't fight back.

Dean now being an adult himself had though back when he could but it did little to help although he was in good shape physically he couldn't hope to match he's Ex-Marine Father in a fist fight. Dean was interrupted in his thoughts when he heard the motel room door open, Dean pulled he's head round just has Adam was closing the door.

"Is Dad home" Adam asked nervously scanning the room. "No its ok he's still out, your safe don't worry" Dead said gently looking at his younger brother. Adam nodded and walked off into the kitchen without saying another word. Adam had always been scared of Dad not that Dean could blame him for that it was rare that Dad ever hit Adam, usually he or Sam would try to protect him from Dad but they couldn't be there all the time. Dean remembered the first time he knew for sure that Dad had lashed out at Adam.

Adam ran down the stairs letting his excitement cloud his thoughts all the other birthdays he could remember where nothing special in fact Dad was hardly ever there, his brothers had always tried to make some effort but there wasn't really much they could do. Although this year Dad had promised that for his tenth birthday he'd be there and they'd do it properly like a family.

"Dad" Adam called has he went into the small living room. He knew the smell straight away the air was full of it cheap liquor, Dad was a sleep on the arm chair near the back of the room. "Dad" Adam called again has he walked over to he's sleeping father, this time he open he's eyes and blinked a little and then looked down at Adam who was standing in front of him.

"What do you want I'm tired" John growled. "It's my birthday don't you remember you said we'd do it properly this year" Adam smiled and pulled on he's Dads arm to get him to sit up. "God dam it Adam" John yelled has he shoved his son to the floor.

Adam fell back landing on floor with a heavy thump he pulled his self backwards trying to ignore the sharp pain in his back. He knew he would start crying any second not so much from the pain but from the shock at what had just happened and he wanted to make sure he was away from Dad when he did, because that would have only made him angrier.

Adam had just made it to the stairs when Dad called him back he's eyes where heavy with tears now and he really didn't want to turn back but he knew he had no choice. "You haven't been crying have you boy" John asked menacingly scanning he's youngest sons face. "No sir" Adam replied but he couldn't hold it much longer and he felt the tears begin to stream down his face.

"Should have known" John growled "You're not even a true Winchester how could you take your punishment like a man" John swiftly slapped Adam with the back of he's hand knocking the boy to floor again. "Now get out my sight" John yelled as Adam crawled away. Dean found Adam sitting alone in the corner of the room they had to share in the small apartment he could tell from the blood still dripping on his lip that Dad had hit him not too long ago.

Dean knew there wasn't much he could do he just sat with his younger brother for what seemed like hours, holding him and telling him everything would be ok.

The door slammed open and Dean instinctively knew he was back he'd heard the sound many times and it always marked their Dad's arrival.

"Dad how'd the research go" Dean asked jumping to his feet. John didn't answer just dragged himself towards the kitchen, it was then that he noticed the smell he'd long since grown used to the smell of cheap liquor it seemed to follow John around like his own shadow. Dean followed not wanting to leave John in the same room as Adam.

Adam was sat at the table but he instinctively flinched when John came in but he didn't say anything just watched as John opened the fridge and pulled out a beer and started chugging it down. Adam shot a look at Dean who just shook he's head and looked down at the floor it was clear they were both thinking the same thing.

"Research went well Dean" John smiled menacingly at he's eldest son before looking down at Adam "Aren't you going to say anything". Adam spun round on the chair and looked up at his Dad the size difference between them made him look like a giant leering down at him. "Sorry Dad just got a lot of stuff to do for school" Adam mumbled in response.

"Don't know what you're bothering for, we'll be leaving in a couple of days so quit wasting time" John said before grabbing the book Adam was working on. "Law why are reading up on that" John asked. Adam again flinched a little and Dean was tempted to jump in and help his little brother.

"Well Sam is studying Law so I just thought I could have ago see if I'm good at it" Adam said gently. "Sam abandoned this family and now you're planning to as well" John practically screeched the last words and moved closer to Adam so they were practically face to face now.

"Dad he's just reading the book it's just school work" Dead said and moved over to stand closer to his brother, he knew that arguing with John especially when he was like this was a bad idea but he wasn't going to stand back and do nothing. "And who asked you kid" John shouted immediately turning to face Dean grabbing him by the neck and pushing his head to the table.

Adam pulled himself back from the table he really wanted to help Dean but he didn't want to get in Johns way. "Sorry sir" Dean managed to say he's throat was being heavily squeezed by John's large hands and Dean could feel his breath begin to tighten under the strain.

Finally John released him and Dean gripped the top of the table so he wouldn't fall to the floor. "Let that be a lesson to you both" John said had he grabbed another beer from the fridge and walked out of the door not bothering to even glance at his sons has he walked past.

Sorry about not breaking up the paragraphs yet having a little trouble editing but i'll keep trying I really would like to carry this story on but let me know if you'd like to read more since this was written simply to kill some time while i was waiting to be let out so i just wrote the first Idea that came to my head, but if you'd like to read more I'd gladly carry on.
