When Dean hung up the Phone, Sam just sat and stared in shock at his phone, Jess snapped him out of it by grabbing his hand. "Sam, what is it?"

"My brother who was missing, he's back"

"That's good I know you were worried about him."

"… He said my aunt died." Sam looked at Jess, she looked very confused, he never mentioned his Aunt, or any other family aside from his brother who he ignores and his dad he ran away from.

"Your, Aunt?" Jess stood up, "I didn't know you had an Aunt."

"I never really hung out with them, Dean knew them better, still does apparently." Sam sighed, "The last time I saw her was the year before I went to Beacon Hills. My dad dragged us away from there, before she moved to the town, she was pregnant with my cousin, so my uncle was setting up the house before she got there."

"Wait, are you telling me they live in my home town, where we visit every holiday, and school break, and you never once tried to reach out to them?"

"It's complicated Jess—"

"No, Sam it's not, you have so much Family, and I only met Dean because we went to school together that was eight years ago, and I saw your dad, when he stormed out of here a month ago. And you always say your family just doesn't get you." Jess shook her head. "And I understood, kind of. Now you tell me you have even more family, what's wrong with them, Sam, tell me."

"Jess, they were always kept at arm's length, yes My Uncle Noah is related to us by blood, but it was Aunt Claudia and my mum who were close, when my mum died, we kept them away, and like I said Only dean really ever talked to them, He would go have lunch with Aunt Claudia, and when we weren't H—busy, he would actually stay at their house. When he got older, and Dad gave him the Impala to use, more and more, he would always make his way to Beacon Hills. He offered me to go too, but I never felt like they were my Family." Sam sighed, "Not really."

"Did you even try," Jess shook her head, "We are going back there now, you have to make amends with them, pay your respects to your Aunt." Jess Glared at Sam. "When is the funeral, I know enough about Dean and those phone calls that he would definitely make sure you knew that at least."

Sam gulped "Saturday."

"We are going, we are also going to the administration office and getting a leave of absence, we are leaving and staying for as long as the school allows." Jess dragged him out of their apartment, and marched them the 15 minutes to the Campus, Sam tried to drag his feet once but Jess dug her nails into his hand. Sam didn't want to fight with Jess and resigned himself to this field trip to Beacon Hills. Sam got a week, well Three days but since it was Easter weekend he had until next Tuesday.

Jess phoned her parents and told them the situation and told them to prepare the guest room, Sam watched as his Girlfriend stilled and listened to probably her mother explain who his Uncle was, and the anger returned. Sam winced when she hung up the phone. "Your Uncle who is the Beloved Sheriff of our town is the one you don't feel close to, Jesus Sam, I know your childhood was shitty, but I remember your uncle taking in random Deputies into his house because they didn't know how to boil water let alone cook a meal for themselves. He adopted most of those men as his to protect and take care of, and you would have been accepted too if you put in the effort. Also your cousin by the way, I only baby sat him once or twice, but he is a very intelligent child, why didn't you ever try to meet him at least?"

"BECAUSE, jess you don't know what it's like, every time I went there it was all about Dean, 'oh Dean you're so smart', 'oh Poor Dean you can't be so mad all the time', 'come on Dean lets go out get you some lunch', He was rewarded for getting sent to Juvie, by my uncle who as you now know is a law man, with a day out and something bought for him. I was always forgotten. I was always second choice. Everyone always chose Dean, so yeah maybe I could have made the effort, but why bother, and I never went after high school, because I knew they would ask about Dean, they would ask why I ran away. I couldn't face them." Sam sat down. "They wouldn't understand that I needed to leave everyone, it's not like they tried to contact me either."

Jess sighed, She knew Sam's home life was awful, and she didn't want to point out he would never know if they tried or not, since he ignored every call he ever received. Hopefully through this tragedy they could be closer. She shook her head and started packing their bags, it was going to be a long tough week. Jess looked at Sam moping in his chair, she always wanted a bigger Family, she was an only child, and both her parents were only children as well, so no cousins to speak of, She hopes Sam realizes he is lucky to have family at all.

Jess drove all the way to Beacon Hills it was the longest ride ever in Sam's opinion, knowing he would have to face his brother in person, face the uncle who always did his best to look out for both of them, and Sam knew it, he ditched everybody, but his uncle never offered him help, never offered him a way out -like he did Dean. Sam sighed, looking at the familiar tapestry of trees that surrounded the sleepy town of Beacon Hills lost in his depressing thoughts.

That was the crux of it, the family all talked about Dean, Dean was a natural at fighting, and shooting.

-Sam didn't know that Dean's happiest memories of dancing, and playing little games with his mom were precursors to learning to fight and strengthen his hand eye co-ordination, already a soldier, already in training to be a hunter.

He was naturally smart, Sam had to study his ass off, and this was maybe the only thing true that Sam knew about his brother.

Dean was given more responsibility, being older it made sense, but even when Sam became the same age Dean started hunting, he was denied.

-Sam couldn't have known that Dean was usually bait, or a decoy, being forced to risk his life.

His Aunt and Uncle, oh how they spoiled Dean, bought him a Walkman, and started the ridiculous cassette tape collection his brother cherishes.

-Sam's Jealousy made him forget they were Uncle Noah's hand me downs and he just passed them on to both boys, Sam never liked the music.

They praised him when he got sent to Juvie, took him out to dinner, and got him new clothes that fit.

-Sam didn't know that Dean was lectured and half way through being told the horrors of jail, he broke down crying in his uncle's arms about starving, and needing to find food for Sam -Because Sam never had to starve, but Dean did.

They took him for month's in-between hunts, While Sam had to stay with Bobby, or Jo.

-Sam never knew that Dean was thrown out of the car, with an Empty bottle thrown at him. Spending months away was necessary because John barely misses, and it's the reason why Dean still flinches at breaking glass. The Stilinski's were always finding, and patching up a bloody, and/or concussed Dean. All because Dean was caught stealing John's money to stash away for weeks maybe months down the road. Sometimes he sold the rest of John's hard liquor to a bum for whatever he could get. Usually Dean knew when his father passed out enough to not remember, but sometimes after a hunt it actually was exhaustion that made John pass out, not the booze.

As Sam stewed in his skewed memories Jess watched out of the corner of her eye, and her boyfriend tensed up, looking ready to explode, thanking that they only had to drive through the preserve and they would be in city limits. Hoping that she made the right decision in forcing Sam to go through this. Jess Sped up going through the winding roads of the Preserve unaware they were being followed.
