Part 1
They sat down to the dinner table as a family every day. Mom insisted on it. She wanted to hear about the life of her men-her sons and husband. And lately, with work, sports and school this was the only time they had together. Dean beamed his mother a smile, as he took another helping of the mash potatoes. "These are great, Mom." He said as put another forkful in his mouth with a grin.
"Thanks, Dean." Mary replied, looking at her husband wondering if he had noticed that their eldest son was acting strangely.
Dean looked around the table and nodded. "Everything's great!"
"Are you high or something?" Sam elbowed his brother, gesturing for him to pass the dinner rolls.
Dean placed a roll on Sam's plate. "Or something. . ." Dean tapped his hands on the table mimicking a drum roll. "I have some news."
Sam groaned and rolled his eyes. His father chuckled at his youngest son's antics. "What's her name?'
"I got accepted, full ride scholarship to USC." Dean said accentuating each word. He rubbed his chest, and puffed proud. "Architectural engineering program!"
The threesome sitting down remained stunned. Sam got to his feet first and hugged his brother. "No way!"
"Oh my God. ..Dean. . ." Mary knew tears were welling in her eyes. She knew that Dean had applied to a few colleges and that USC was his dream. "Oh, baby, I am so proud of you." She stood up and put his face in her hands, to burn this memory in her mind.
"Good job, son," John patted Dean on the back. Dean was still madly grinning until he noticed his brother's smile had faded.
"What's the matter?"
Sam shrugged his shoulders, and wouldn't meet his brother's eyes. "Means you're leaving here."
"Sammy, you won't miss me at all." Dean reached out and grabbed his brother's forearm in a grip. "I'm still your brother."
Sam returned the grip firmly. "Hey, can I have the Impala?"
