On and Through
There are some things he can't get out of his mind, some things branded by flames. Like...the colour of her nightgown...Jess hardly ever wore a nightgown, but it was white that night. All white and glowing light, full of light, just like his mother, his trace of her. And in his dreams he watches as the red spreads from the center, blossoms like a flower, makes his eyes burn and blur.
And it just hurts. And it's ridiculous. And he's already had his cry, so shouldn't that be enough already? And he's trying to bandage Dean's arm after a hunt, with white gauze, so white, and the red still seeps through, mocking his eyes. He swipes at them angrily, tears falling into the dust below.
"I'm sorry, Dean, just – just give me a sec - "
"It's okay," his brother murmurs through the haze. "We're not going to burn."
Sorry I've been MIA for so long, I'm finally able to handle my life again. I will hopefully be publishing my oneshot finale tag soon, just working on an outline for now. Happy June!
