'Where could he go?', 'How am I gonna find him?', these were the questions encircling Dean Winchester's mind as he drove to Stanford University on his black '67 Chevy Impala.
John Winchester, their dad, was hunting and he hadn't been home in a few days.
'I have to go get Sammy,' Dean thought, 'he could be in danger.' But how was he gonna face his brother after what had happened that last time?
'You have to listen to him, Sam!' Dean said.
'No, I don't Dean, I don't! I have the right to live my own life and do what I wanna do.', Sam shot back.
'Don't you talk to me about rights, young man. Dad's given you an order and you're supposed to follow it.'
'Look Dean, I'm not coming back. This is where I belong. I'm not hunter material, you said so yourself, Dean. And I don't want that crazy life, either. I'm tired of being the odd one, Dean, the freak child. I don't want all that madness anymore. I want some normalcy in my life.'
'But what about our home, Sammy?' Dean asked, helplessly.
'When did we ever have a home?' There was a hint of bitterness in Sam's voice.
'And what about me and Dad, huh? What about your family?'
'I don't think it's gonna make much difference. Perhaps, you and Dad will be better off without me. There won't be anyone to nag and annoy you.'
Dean's insides were tearing up. He had to get his little brother back home, back to safety.
'Please, Sammy. Think of it as a favor to your big brother. Come back home, please.' Dean croaked. There was a strange feeling in his throat, as if he was being choked.
'I'm sorry, Dean, but not this time. I've done you enough favors.' 'I've gotta get back to class now.' Sam said after a pause. 'Goodbye, Dean. Please don't come back again. I won't change my decision.'
'Sammy…'
Dean stood in front of the gates of Stanford University; as his brother bade him farewell and went away to an altogether new life. Sam's tall figure slowly faded away amidst the vast crowds of students going in and coming out. There was no way Sam would come back.
Sam Winchester and his girlfriend, Jessica, were fast asleep when he heard a loud, familiar knock on their front door. He got up, blearily, unbolted and opened the door.
It was his big brother, Dean.
'Dad's on a hunting trip, and he hasn't been home in a few days', said Dean.
Author's Note: What happened after that was 7 seasons (and hopefully more seasons in the future) of evil hunting, bromance and awesomeness! =)
