Hey everyone! I have some things to say down below so read away...
Chapter 2
It was a long walk to his destination but the exercise was somewhat refreshing. He had clearly thought out his plan during his long stroll and figured with the money he earned from the little jobs he tackled in the past month and a half would be good enough to rent a car and at least eat for a few weeks.
Sam looked at no one as he walked to the elevators. This was going to be hard. But it was what he had to do.
He had vowed when he started out on this quest for Jess's killer that he'd stick close by his brother. They had to protect each other to survive the insane things they encountered.
… and Sam failed.
He failed to save his brother from hitting that wall with his head. He failed him after all the times Dean was there for him.
Well not anymore. If it was the LAST thing he did he would hunt down that witch and make her pay. Justice for Jess would just have to come later.
Once Sam escaped the elevator he quickened his steps to the ever-familiar room trying to avoid being noticed by any of the regulars that would recognize him and pull him aside to ask him if he needed to talk, if he needed anything … anything at all. He needed to avoid the pity filled glares is what he needed! But they couldn't understand that… Just like they thought he didn't understand about his brother.
Not accepting it was more like it…
Sam finally entered the quiet room and let his tensed muscles relax a bit. He managed to avoid everyone on the way and that didn't happen often.
"Must be my lucky day…" He said to himself before shaking his head at his comment. Luck certainly hadn't been a part of his life for some time now.
Sam placed the keys to the Impala on a small corner table in the room along with an envelope.
For a moment he stood there… and then after a moment of thought he picked up the keys and placed them into the envelope.
After setting the envelope back down on the table Sam paused before turning around.
Should he say something? He would get no response. Hell if everything he was told was indeed truth then no one would even hear it.
But after glancing to his right and seeing the still figure in the bed, a wave of emotions hit Sam like a bulldozer. Tears sprang to his eyes and his feet began to move towards the bed. Without hesitating he reached down and took his brothers cold hand, letting his tears spill over his eyelids.
"Hey Dean… I'm leaving now. I have something I need to do… I need to do it for you so no arguing. You would do it for me… Hell if you had the task of lighting the torch then none of this would have ever happened."
Sam looked down at his desperate grasp he had on his brother's hand and realized that maybe his grip was a bit too strong and placed his brothers limp hand back down on the bed.
"I left a note for you… Just in case. I know they said NEVER… But I have faith in you. When someone says it can't be done you prove them wrong just to spite them. Please don't stop that now Dean… Ok?"
Sam looked down at his brother's peaceful face. He couldn't' help but think of how much he looked like he was just sleeping. By now the gash on the back of his brother's head was healed up leaving no signs of a reason for his coma… But Brain damage wasn't Sam's area of expertise.
"I'll come back Dean… I promise I'll get her and come back… and then I'll never leave you again." The tears threatened to return and before he let them he stood up fast and placed a quick kiss on the top of his brothers head.
"Good Bye…" Sam whispered sadly and without looking back again, he headed for the door… leaving the only person in the world he had left behind
Jennifer unpinned her nametag and placed it in a drawer at the nurse's station. It was finally time for the end of her shift and her daily visit to room 209.
After taking her hair out of a ponytail, she ran her hands through it to loosen it up.
'Comfort at last' she thought to herself.
She headed for the desk opening and towards her escape when a voice stopped her from behind.
"Clocking out Jenn?"
Jenn spun in her white shoes and planted on a smile a mile wide.
"Sure am Rhonda! But first I have to see my special boys. I brought that poor John some things to keep him occupied for a little while at least." She motioned to the bag under her arm.
"You are a wonderful person Jennie. I'm glad you took them under your wing. That young boy looks so lost." The older nurse slowly shook her head in sadness. "He needs a friend right now."
"I'm gonna help out the best I can. Maybe someday we can get through to him. He has to understand what's wrong with his cousin to accept it. It's going to take time."
"That it is honey. Well you go on now. Go keep that boy company for a while but remember you need rest as well."
"Yes Ma'am" Jennie said with a smile and turned to head down the hallway.
Ever since she first laid eyes on the duo a month and a half ago she latched onto them tight as she could. The pain she saw in the ones eyes was so overwhelming that she couldn't help but turn into a mother hen... even though she was only 23 years old.
The one man... John had come in fused to a gurney carrying his cousin Sam. It took a lot of coaxing to get John to leave his cousin but finally Jennie was able to talk some sense into him and let them work on Sam.
Sam was a mess. Jennie didn't get to work the ER often but when she did she couldn't' believe what she saw... Nothing was as heart wrenching as seeing John sobbing into his hands when the doctors told him... Or the blank look in his eyes as he held his vigil over his cousin's hospital bed.
The young nurse hit the "up" button for the elevator and let her mind wander back to that night which she waited. John was beside himself mumbling that it was his fault as she rubbed his back.
"Its not your fault." She had said. "That mugger could have killed both of you."
"I should have done something… I should have done more instead of let my … My… Cousin … my cousin protect me like he's always done."
The look of pain and sadness in the young mans eyes rocked her to the core and from then on she took it upon her self to be as helpful as possible... for the two men grew on her... and sometimes John would even tell Heroic stories always staring his cousin Sam.
Even though it was somewhat depressing at time she knew just listening was helping and that in a matter of time John would come to understand the situation...
His cousin was never going to wake up.
No one really knew what happened that night. Except for John of course. The story Jennie got was vague at best and not very believable. A mugger surprised them from behind pushing Sam into a brick wall of a building and took their wallets that held their ID in it.
After all the stories John had told about Sam somehow the simplicity of events didn't seem believable. But she never pushed him on it... the past was not her job. Thinking of the young mans future was.
Her wandering thoughts filled up the time it took to walk to the hospital room and in no time she was knocking on the door to room 209.
"John?" She called out softly. She peeked her head in the slightly cracked door. After letting her eyes adjust to the darkness inside she realized that John wasn't in at the moment.
"Odd... He's always here."
Jennifer took a moment to scan the figure on the bed. 'He's so young' she thought... And not bad looking at all. She could tell just by looking at Sam that John's stories of being a hero were true. He had that look about him even in his peaceful dreamless slumber. Heck even after more then a month of wasting away in a hospital bed. "Hmmm" she let out while walking over to the vacant chair next to the bed usually occupied but John.
"You really don't look like you've lost any muscle mass. By now I'd figure your body would have submitted to lack of use."
Jenn lowered herself in the uncomfortable chair and took the young mans hand in hers.
"Don't worry Sam. I'm sure John will be back soon. Maybe he was hungry." She whispered...
GOD what was she doing! She scolded herself mentally. Even she knew that Sam Winchester was Brain dead. She had seen the tests herself. She knew he couldn't hear her and now she was turning into John... whispering in hopes that someone would listen.
Jenn put the young mans hand back on the bed and sighed.
"Well I guess I'll just leave these on the table for him later."
The young nurse set her bag on a small table in the hospital room and pulled out crossword books and some pens. But as she went to set them down she noticed what looked to be a sealed envelope propped up on next to the small lamp.
Due to the terrible lighting in the room she gave up on eyesight and reached over to pick up the envelope. It felt bulgy in the right bottom corner. Something was in it other then a letter.
There was only one word on the front and after reading it a giggle escaped her mouth before she could fight it...
"Jerk." was all it said.
"Jerk? I sure hope this letter isn't for me..." Jennie said to herself as she went to put the letter back.
"Well I'll stop back in tomorrow she said to no one in particular and headed to the door.
She stopped before she reached the hallway...
Its a funny thing... curiosity... The only way to satisfy it is to do what you shouldn't... but not doing it could drive you mad.
"I shouldn't do this... Jennie this is bad..." The young girl bit her lip and then let out a large breath.
She glanced back at the table where the letter sat... then at the silent man in the bed...
"OH fine! Ok I'll look! But I get caught I'll say I thought "Jerk" meant me!"
Jennifer dropped her bags at the doorway and fluttered over to the table, snapping up the letter. She was grateful when she turned it over. It wasn't sealed… only tucked in. She could get away with peeking and put it right back the way it was.
After taking a quick glance to the door way and not seeing a soul... or better yet… John… She slid out the paper and the bulge into her hand. "Keys?" She mouthed before setting them back down on the table and unfolding the note. After giving one last glance at the door she started to read as best she could in the dark.
"Hey Jerk... I know... I'm a bitch. I'd love to hear you say that again... but these doctors tell me that'll never happen again. Why did you do it? You shoulda let her deal with ME! You are always trying to be the great hero but you left me alone! I thought you were gone. I just laid their Sobbing for a good half hour before I even thought of checking you. I'm probably the reason for your condition now. If only I'd done something sooner! I would have had my second half here with me.
I don't know why I'm writing this... Maybe you'll be your normal self and beat this against all odds and wake up and come find me... or maybe Nurse Jennie will read it and at least know why I'll no longer visit you. I can't stand seeing you so helpless. Especially when I'm not use to it and when it looks like you'll wake up any second.
I don't know what to do... all I know is... I want revenge... If I cant have it for Jessica... Then I will find yours. I'll get that bitch for you, ... I promise... "
Jenn looked up from the letter with tears pouring down her cheeks.
She had known all along that the two men were fishy… or at least desperate to hide something. But John never scared her or made her feel unsafe so she left things be…
Now after reading that something was wrong she felt terrible about not acting on it sooner. Maybe the police could have helped the two cousins.
Jenn wiped the tears off her face and gently placed the envelope in her bag. The man in the bed sure wasn't going to wake up to get it and the keys may be important. She didn't want just anyone picking them up.
"I'll hold onto these…" she said out loud and then turned to return to Johns post in the chair next to the bed and pulled out that day's newspaper.
"Well Sam… What do you wanna hear today? Sports or your Horoscope!"
See! I never had any intention to kill Dean off. I just had to create some Drama.
Black-Nyx: Thank you for keeping the faith in me even though you didn't like a possible Dean death!
KatieMalfoy19: Don't worry! Dad's going to show up! We'll see what happens with that!
