Thank you Daughter Of Hades 116, beckini, and Tempermental18 for reviewing!

They had only been married a week, and she was already dead.

Sam watched as she died on the ceiling, with only Dean pulling him out of the room saving him.

"Dean?! Wha-"

"I was stopping by to check on you, and I saw the smoke and smelled the sulfur."

"I was looking for you for months! Never mind that, we need to get going now if we want to catch that thing!"

Sam started walking towards the Impala in the parking lot and stopped when he realized Dean wasn't following.

"Dude, come on! I know you wouldn't rather take my car so lets get going!"

Dean stood there looking at Sam. The look was far from affectionate, and Sam had to admit he was a little scared.

"Dean? This-this is our chance. T-to kill the thing that killed mom. That killed Jess."

"Why?"

Sam let out a chocked laugh.

"What do you mean 'why'? We've been chasing this thing our whole lives Dean!"

"Well you left didn't you? Why should I help?"

"Well, I didn't know mom-"

"And I didn't know Jess."

"Dean, this thing killed my wife! You can't be serious!"

"I can't be serious? What about you? You left me and Dad, you. You're the one who said the whole revenge gig was stupid, not me! I can't believe how hypocritical you are!"

"Dean-"

The look Dean gave Sam chilled him to the bone as he took a step closer and pointed angrily at him.

"I'm not finished! Dad made me obey his orders, and I got sick of it, so I dang well know I'm not listening to yours! For once in my life I'm speaking my mind and thinking about what's best for me! Dad made me follow in his stupid revenge plot, and I didn't want to. You were mad I blindly followed him because of it, and now you want me to get back into it for someone I never met?"

"De-"

"Shut up! I'm still not finished; you don't get to walk over me anymore! This last month I've had some time to think, knowing that I didn't have a family anymore more."

"I didn't mean-"

"And you know what I realized Sam? I don't know who Dean Winchester is! My whole personality it seems is abandonment issues and take care of Sammy! Well guess what? I figured out that I actually like existing as something besides an extension of you! I have my own mind now, my own life! And you know what? I learned that from you."

Sams voice cracked at this point and his throat started constricting as he felt tears start to well up in his eyes.

"Dean I-"

"I'm out of the life Sam. I quit. If its an emergency, call Bobby he has my new number."

With that, Dean drove away without ever looking back, as Sam sank to his knees and sobbed.

Six years later

This was the first time in months that Sam had drove by the house again.

He parked on the street and just sat in the car, looking at it.

The house seemed to have everything. Even a white picket fence outside.

It had become a hobby of his now, to check up on Dean every once in awhile, although he could never bring himself to know on the door and talk to him.

Dean had gotten into college and got himself a decent job, a wife, and a five year old girl.

Heh, who would've thought.

As the front door started opening, he pushed the petal, terrified Dean would see him.

Terrified that if Dean saw him and convinced him to even one normal night, he wouldn't be able to get on the road again.

Unbeknownst to Sam, he was not the first one to have this problem.

Mary wanted out of the life, and in turn John had gotten in.

Sam wanted out of the life and in turn Dean and John had spent more time in it.

Freedom always came at a price, and the song remained the same.
