A/N: I was watching the pilot again the other day and trying to decide why John left the way he did and this is what I came up with. Hope you like it!
The beginning
John didn't much care for this plan, but it was the only one he could come up with, the only way to protect his son. He knew Sam. He wouldn't leave school, not to return to the nomadic life of a hunter but that life was the only thing that was going to save him. John just didn't see any way around it. Sam was in mortal danger at Stanford, now more then ever.
He knew the boy would never listen to him, he was too stubborn, too much like his father. He wanted to be normal. John didn't blame the kid, but no matter how far or how hard he ran from it, he would never be normal. The demon took that from Sam. It took it from all of them and it was back. He'd picked up its trail but it knew he was after it.
He sat across from Sam's apartment and watched just as he'd done hundreds of times in the past. This time though was different. This time he knew would be the last time. There was too much he still needed to say, too much he need to do but it was too late now.
The demon that had attacked him had been cocky and too sure of itself. Before John had sent it back to hell it told him that his family was marked, that he and Dean would die and Sam would suffer a much worse fate. So he did what he had to do to save Sam, to save Dean. He drove them back together again because he knew together they had the best chance.
He waited and watched and when he saw them leave together a sad smile played across his lips. He knew what he was doing to Sam. He knew how much this was going to hurt both his boys. He just didn't know any other way to protect them.
