"Dean, get up. I am leaving in a few hours."

Dean Winchester had never been a morning person. He grumbled something under his breath before siting up to see who it was that was waking him up at such an ungodly hour. His brother Sam was staring down at him. Sam was very tall, but in his half-asleep state, Dean thought he must have been 10 feet.

"Hiya Sammy." Dean said as he stood up and stretched. His head was pounding like it was on the brink of exploding. He had fallen asleep on the hard couch in the living room. The party last night must have crazy.

"Come one man, I am going to need a ride to the airport." Sam said, shaking his head at Dean. It took Dean a moment to remember why it was Sam needed a ride.

"Oh yeah" Dean said slowly "Today is the big day, going to Stanford."

Dean had gotten a GED and that was good enough for him. He did not understand Sam's want to leave to go to college, but he supported his little brother regardless.

"Yeah" Sam agreed. He was excited about leaving, he really was, but he would miss Dean. Their parents had been killed in a house fire when Dean was 4, and Sam was only 6 months old, in Lawrence, Kansas. Their father, John, had handed Sam to Dean and told him to run. John tried to get out, but the ceiling had caved in, trapping him among the flames. After that, the brother's had gone to live with their uncle in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. John's last words to Dean were to protect Sam. Since then Dean had been very protective of his little brother, and the two have always been very close. Their uncle Bobby had died when Dean was 18, so he took over the salvage yard Bobby had owned called "Singer Auto Yard" in order to take care of Sam. Sam worked hard in school and had gotten into Stanford. Dean did not want Sam to leave, but he wanted the best for his brother.

Dean walked into the kitchen to try and find something to eat. He found some pizza from the night before and shrugged. He brought the box over to the couch, turned on the TV, and motioned for Sam to sit next to him. Sam sighed, and then sat down.

"Do you have everything you need packed?" Dean asked through a mouth full of pizza.
"Yeah, I did that last night when you were getting drunk with Jo and Gabriel." Sam said with an air of exasperation. Jo and Gabriel worked at the auto yard with Dean, and they had thrown a going away party for Sam. Mostly it was an excuse to drink, but Sam thought it was a nice gesture.

"You should have been partying with us, Sammy. I mean, the party was for you." Dean smiled up at his brother, pizza stuck in his teeth.

"I had to finish up all the last minute things." Sam explained. He always tried to be prepared for everything and anything the world through at him. Sam was extremely responsible, very much unlike his brother. "I am going to go bring my boxes down." Sam said standing up and walking upstairs to his room.

Dean shrugged as he finished off the last of the pizza. He saw that Gabriel was passed out on the floor with a sign that said "Bag of Dicks" taped to his face. Dean laughed when he saw it before kicking Gabriel in the side.

"Dude, get your ass up!" Dean shouted in Gabe's ear. Gabriel jumped up like a startled cat before grabbing his head.

"What happened last night?" Gabriel asked as he removed the sign and read it "Haha very funny Deano." He said as he walked over and sat on a chair. "Where is Jo?" Gabe asked.

"I think she went home." Dean said as he threw away his pizza box.

"and Sam?" Gabe asked as he winced from the pain his head was giving him.

"Upstairs bringing all his stuff downstairs." Dean answered as he walked back to the living room. "Get up and help him."

Gabriel grumbled something before getting up and walking upstairs and Dean followed. The three men got all of Sam's boxes and brought them straight out to the Impala. Dean had only one thing in the world that had belonged to his father and that was his black 67' Chevy Impala. It was Dean's baby.

Dean got in the car and brought the engine to life

"Come on Sammy, we got to go if you are going to catch your flight. Sam closed the trunk and walked over to the passenger door.

"Good luck in college Sam!" Gabriel shouted in Sam's ear as hugged him tight. "Make sure to call us every day." Gabe said teasingly

Sam pushed him off, smiled, and then got into the car. Dean pulled out of the drive and Sam watched Gabriel jumping up and down waving him goodbye. Sam had known Gabriel his whole life, but he still laughed at how weird he was. Dean was blaring AC/DC and singing along. Sam chuckled.

They drove up to the airport and parked. Sam got out and grabbed all his things.

"Well I guess this is goodbye Sammy." Dean said with sarcastic sorrow while wiping a fake tear from his eye. "See you around bitch." Dean said with a smile

"Later Jerk" Sam said before closing the door and walking away. Dean watched his brother leave to start his life. He felt weird watching him leave, but he knew it was for the best. He pulled away and drove back home before he had a chick flick moment.
