This was kind of a spur of the moment thing. Its a letter that Alex wrote to Dean. Her words say it all. I hope you enjoy and please remember to review. Happy reading. x

P.S. I had certain parts of the letter with a strike through the words, but it didn't stick in the doc manager; so, it doesn't have the same effect, but its okay.

All rights go to the owners of Supernatural, except for my original character.

Short Handwritten Note

Let me get straight to the point here, okay? I need to say things that I can't say over the phone-things I could never say in person. A hand-written letter seemed acceptable, but we'll see, right? Anyway, I think somewhere along the way in our crazy little lives, I forgot to tell you how much I look up to you. When we were younger and Dad would leave us for days at a time, leave us to live like adults, you were always right by my side. You raised me, you taught me right from wrong, even if I sometimes purposely rebelled. As we got older, you were even more protective, but I don't think I ever thanked you for that. So, thank you. I'm sure you saved me some heartache. I started wearing plaid and for the longest time I actually hated the pattern. I told myself it's what heroes wore. It was like seeing you wear a cape.

There are a thousand and one things running through my mind right now as I sit and write this. I'm in the library at the moment. It's quiet. The other day I heard someone playing Zeppelin through their earbuds and I automatically thought of you. How could I not? I do miss you and I'm sorry that I haven't called in a while. I don't want a certain someone interfering with what I have to say. It's hard; and I'm sure It's hard where you are. You're probably getting ready to go on another hunt soon, but I hope you're taking care of yourself. Don't let what Dad wants, overtake what you need. You're always so tough and the bravest person I know.

I don't know if it's just me, but I feel like we're both shutting down, in our own ways. For me, it was leaving. I'm not going to tell you that I regret it, because I don't. I needed this. This is what I wanted. Sure, I live in peaceful awareness of what is out in the dark, but it helps knowing that there are people like you taking care of things. I can just picture your face as you read this. You're probably holding a stoic expression, but as you read this sentence, you give away and a small smile might creep up. No? Well, I tried.

Look, I need to ask something. I know I don't have the right to ask anything of you, but hear me out. I need you to stand up for yourself. Take control of the things you want. I'm not saying follow the yellow brick road down to "Alexland", but do something for yourself. Please.

Tell Dad I said hi. Actually, don't.

I miss you, Dean.

Love,

Alex.

Alex never sent the letter.
