It happened in a matter of seconds as the darkness swallowed him whole, it's been trying to get him for so many damn years, and I got a front row seat to the whole thing.
"Sam!"
Even knowing that it was going happen did not make the hit any less devastating, it aimed right for this beat up heart of mine and got a bullseye, and being helpless made it all the more worse.
"Faith, you have to promise me that you will not try and get me out, I have to stay there to keep the devil in his cage. Promise me that."
I was holding on to his hands for dear life, afraid he would vanish if I loosened my grip just a bit, knowing that in a matter of hours I would never get the chance again.
(then it would be time to leave them be to do some brother bonding and lots of hugging)
"Sammy, you know I can't do that."
Since everything had started to fall to pieces, it was starting to get harder and harder to keep those pesky tears of mine away.
(all beginning when those lovely eyes of his turned to black)
"You have to, Faith, for me. Promise."
He grabbed on to my hands tighter drawing me close to him and right there I knew that I could not say no to him even if I tried to.
(I'm almost worse than Dean when it comes to Sammy)
"I p-promise, you son of a bitch, I promise."
"Did that really just happen, Winchester? It feels so goddamn unreal."
Feelings and puffy eyes were things Dean and me could never handle and I doubt we'll be able to figure it out any time soon.
(but those tears had to come out sooner or later and when it came it would be a freaking flood)
Neither one of us could say anymore after the blood (that son of a bitch smirking) and the darkness it was just too damn hard.
Instead of leaving him there, that one manly tear just waiting to escape (hell I do the very same thing), I pulled him into my arms and we both just let those stupid tears come.
(and it would never be spoken of again, not in this life or the next)
After Dean had left taking a giant leap into the future that wasn't filled with anything supernatural whatsoever and here was me wishing I could do the same.
Before I could leave myself pushing my legs to move on back into that old life of mine (pre-Sammy, pre-soul mate) I felt a hand take ahold of mine and knew who it was right away.
"Thank you for keeping your promise, Faith, I always knew you would."
I looked up at my giant knowing that it was impossible that he was here but not giving a single damn with red eyes and smiling ear to ear.
"And strangely I knew you'd keep yours, to never leave me."
