And the Whiskey Can't Chase Away the Memories
By: Jasper03
He listened to the Impala roaring to life and leaving the motel parking lot with Sam at the wheel. Dean rolled on his side and pulled the bottle of whiskey out from under his pillow. Sam was beginning to notice his latest addiction and he had been itching to have the security the bottle held for hours. His memories begged him to numb the pain that accompanied them.
The hunter swirled the bottle in his hand and tried to remember what made him seek comfort from the bottle.
It was the looks Sam gave him, wondering if Dean was still himself. The reflection in the mirror of the monster he'd become. His guilt that seeped from his heart and yanked on the strings.
He knew he was scum and always would be for what he'd done in Hell. The only thing that kept him from hating himself completely was knowing that Sam didn't. Sam, the person who loved him the most. The person whom he had molded his life around and even sacrificed it for. Dean knew he couldn't let Sam see him waste away.
He had to stay strong for his little brother.
So he looked at the bottle once more. He brought the bottle to his lips and took a long swig. He had to stay strong and he didn't care how.
Please do leave a review. I appreciate them all.
