Taking Things to Heart

Chapter 2


Dean only curls in on himself so tightly that Sam can only imagine the pressure he's enduring.

He severed the final link, that imaginary rope that had kept Dean close to him all these years.

Now Dean is replaying twisted memories.

A million miles away.

He deserved more than Sam could give him.

"I gotcha, bro. You just gotta be strong for me."

Sam prays his words make it through to his brother's frayed mind, they're all he's got to offer.

That and his being there.

Forever.
