How Do You Love Someone

"So you're going to be at Chris' house every day for the next three weeks?"
Sam couldn't bring himself to tell Dean he got the lead in the school play. He wasn't sure if Dean would laugh at him or scold him, but he knew whatever his big brother would say, it would be far from happy.
"Uh, yeah. We're not just going to study, just hang out". Dean had a curious look in his eye, but didn't push any further.

For the next few weeks, Sam went to rehearsals every day. He couldn't remember having so much fun in his life. Everyone in the cast was friendly and made him feel like a part of something. Chris even invited him to help with the crew on Saturdays and build the sets.
But the more he spent at the school, the less he saw Dean. But it wasn't just at school. Sam would come home from rehearsals and find a note on the counter from Dean telling Sam he "went out". Sam knew he didn't mention the jerks he went out with. Sam now knew the emotions Dean felt when a bully picked on him.
A week ago, Sam walked into the guy's locker room in the gym before a rehearsal and found Chris hanging from the highest locker in the room. Sam quickly rushed to his friend and helped him down, noticing his friend had bruises on his face. When asked what happened, Chris would shake his head and say nothing. Sam didn't want to push, but Chris soon opened up. Chris had gym last period and Brian walked into the guy's locker room after everyone but Chris had left. The bully grabbed Chris, punched him a couple of times, and hung him by his shirt on the highest locker.
Sam had wanted to track down Brain after that and beat him to a pulp, but knew he would be no better than the bully. He told Dean after he came home, but Dean brushed it off, saying it couldn't have been Brian. Sam yelled at his brother and stormed off to his room, frustrated that Dean would rather side with a friend than his brother.

Two weeks before the school play opens and Sam couldn't be any more nervous. Dean hadn't suspected a thing, but Sam knew it was a matter of time before his big brother found out. Sam had a plan. He would tell Dean and his dad to come to the school opening night and tell them it was important. Hopefully when they sat in the auditorium and the play started, they would be proud of Sam, not upset that he kept this secret from them.
It was a Saturday and Sam was helping Chris paint part of the set. Everyone else had gone home and the boys were almost finished.
"Great job Michaelangelo" Sam chuckled.
"You're not so bad yourself Leonardo", Chris smiled.
"Hey, we only need two more and we'll bee the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles," Sam said, closing the paint. Chris took it and the brushes and put them away. As his back was turned, he heard a yelp. Turning around, he saw Sam standing at the door, hand on the turned knob, red paint covering him. But it didn't look like Sam spilled some on himself. Sam didn't even have any red paint near him. Sam quickly looked above and saw a can of red paint above him.
Chris quickly ran over to help his friend, but both boys heard chuckling from outside. Chris walked out first and Sam heard "You're not the one covered in paint? Then who is?" Sam knew that voice. Brian. Though Sam looked like a fool, he would give Brian a long overdue beat down for bullying his friend. Sam quickly walked outside to face Brian and stopped, eyes filled with fear. No, no, no, this wasn't happening.
"S-S-Sam?" Dean asked, standing next to Brian. His eyes widened.
Sam took a step back as Dean took a step forward. Before the older brother could make another move, Sam quickly ran, not wanting to believe what had just happened and who was a part of it.
