Dean can still hear his brother screaming.

He knows that's impossible – Sam's locked in Bobby's Panic Room, deep beneath the house.

But he still hears him.

Every cry.

Every curse.

Every sob.

Every sound that makes Sam sound less human, more like a tortured animal.

Each one drapes another layer on pain over Dean's heart.

He tries to draw a breath, finds it hard to do so. It's like breathing mud.

The pressure against his chest is overwhelming.

Dean always wondered if a person could really die from a broken heart.

He thinks he's on his way to finding out.

Author's Notes: Once again, Miyo86, the very Happiest of Birthdays from Sam and Dean… and me!
