Dean is a demon, Cas's grace was fading and he was dying because of that. It seemed that Sam was the only one left with a sane mind. He wouldn't stay sane for long. His brother was prowling around getting drunk and picking fights just for fun, how were you supposed to stay sane through that? Sam really, really wanted to get Crowley. It was because of him that Dean was like this. Sam hated every second of calling the Impala his, he hated it when Dean didn't have his nasty food in the fridge. There were no dirty socks in the sink of the motel they stayed at from time to time. Dean wasn't driving, and it broke Sams heart. He was lost. Sam couldn't just go call Jess, or the Richardson girl that he met to dump some of the stress on. No, this was all on him. He was so worried about his brother. They didn't have anyone that could or would help them. Sam and Cas were alone.

"There ain't no me if there ain't no you…"

Forgotten words that rolled through Sam's mind daily and nightly. He was haunted by The Misadventures of Crowley and Squirrel. There wasn't one night that he spent in the bunker that didn't end up with crying, or getting extremely angry, or getting so drunk he couldn't remember where he was in the morning even though he never left.

Sam and Cas didn't really care for themselves. But they should have, someone was watching them, and the signs were obvious if they actually took their time to look around. Neither of them knew or cared, it wasn't really a problem for them. Until it happened.

Castiel tried to help Sam, but he was much more comfortable around Dean. If he couldn't help himself, what was the point in putting effort into something that would turn out bad. Cas didn't know what to do without Dean. So he stayed with Sam, hearing his cries for his brother in the night, hearing his desperate screams for none of it to be real. Dean always knew what to do in these types of situations. But now Dean was the situation.

Hello, author here. First things first, this sort of runs with season 10. It kind of veers off after episode 2 so don't worry about spoilers. I'm writing this because I mostly like to write. I like feedback, in fact I prefer it. I like to know if I'm doing any good. This is all about the readers and whether or not they like it. If you guys don't, that's cool, I can figure something out with suggestions. So feedback, please and spank you.
