Chapter 3:
As we drive to a town where men have been disappearing along the same stretch of road, I ask Sam a question:
"Why did you leave us, Sam?" The silence in the car makes me afraid I went deaf. That happened before. Stupid witch. Finally, Sam sighs and shifts awkwardly in his seat.
"I needed some me-time." Nodding, I settle back into my seat. Dean's eyes never leave the road, and the car fills with awkward silence.
Finally, we arrive and find a hotel room that Dad used to have. We get settled in... And it all goes downhill from there.
Sam kneels next to his girlfriend's grave, looking small yet tall at the same time. Heheh, rhyme. I watch with Dean at the cemetery entrance. As he sighs at the crumpled look of defeat in Sam's body language, I remember I have five dollars in my pocket. I run to Sammy's side and hand it to him. He stares at it with a blank expression and his eyes slide to me.
"I'm buying you a soda." I proclaim triumphantly. I can feel Dean's loving smirk and even Sam gives a reluctant chuckle. I drag him to his feet and we go to Sonic for sodas and Chicago-style dogs. I grin, knowing that this won't last forever, but savoring it while I have it.
