Dean and John angst
Chapter 6:
"Hey, Dad?!" Dean called as they entered the bleak motel room; he had been itching the entire walk back to talk with John. Just as he and Sam had been leaving the gates, some old dude with a lab coat had asked to speak privately with Dean, he let Sam walk to the shop on the corner to get some milk for the morning and turned to speak with the man.
"Sorry to catch you like this." His stuck out his hand for Dean to shake, Dean took it cautiously. "Sorry, I must explain myself, I'm Sam's Physics and Chemistry teacher and, well, I've been looking at Sam's scores from other schools and he is phenomenal , a straight A student across the board, and watching him in class today, the kid really seems to know his stuff! Anyway the school has this science competition every year against the other schools in the area and, well, on behalf of the science department, I'd like to invite Sam to come along to a few meetings after school in the library up on Greendale Avenue. He could stand a real chance of getting on the team, there are competitions running from next month till the end of school as we slowly climb up the ranks and play harder schools. I tried to contact your father but he wasn't answering and Sam needs permission to go."
"Listen, I'm sure Sam would enjoy it and that he's some crazy kid genius, believe me I couldn't be prouder, but we almost definitely won't be here until the end of the year so I don't want to get his hopes up, the best case is that we stay until the end of this semester, so sorry, you'll have to find yourself another geek."
"Mr Winchester, I appreciate that I don't know you and I don't know Sam, but are you aware of how much this moving around is affecting your brothers scores? Statistically speaking from all that I've seen so far they're always lower just after he moves school, which is understandable since it could be a whole different topic and whatnot, but he could be much further ahead if he could stay put more. Is there a way you could convince your father-" He was cut off.
"There's no convincing my dad of anything, he's got to do what he's got to do, Sam knows that."
"This is your brother's future we're talking about! A massively successful career! His educations is so important at this age, this is only putting him behind, if he's not at Princeton or Stanford or Yale for University , it's a waste ! But he needs consistency to really excel!"
Wow, Dean thought, sure, yeah, he knew Sam was crazy smart but Stanford, Princeton, and Yale: that was a big deal. Sam's happiness was his main purpose in life but John would never go for staying a full year here, not unless he agreed to leave Sam and Dean behind.
"I'll think about it, okay?" Dean replied, "I don't make any promises though." He said as he began to walk away towards Sam who was waiting impatiently in front of the shop.
"Dad?!" He tried again as John opened the bathroom door, grabbed a beer from the fridge and sat down in front of his journal at the sticky coffee table.
"What? Did you screw up in school already? It's only the first day." He chuckled. It stung but Dean had more important matters to talk about; it hadn't taken him long to decide, he knew Sammy always had to come first.
"Sam, go and get some takeout menus from reception. I need to talk to Dad."
"But Dean, I have Algebra homework and catch up sheets for history to do!"
"Sammy…" Dean gave him a serious look; Sam sighed and trudged out of the motel room.
"What's all this about, Dean?" John asked, concerned. Dean sat down in the chair next to John and began to explain.
"It's Sam. His teachers seem to think he's some kind of Princeton-bound genius kid and they want him to join some science club thing –"
"Dean, you know the rules! No long running commitments. Your brother might be smarter than most but-"
"But Dad, it's more than that. I mean, he's a lot more intelligent than most, don't tell me you haven't noticed, the kid's nose is always in a frigging book!"
"What's your point, Dean?" John asked increasingly frustrated.
"They think that Sam would do a hell of a lot better if he stayed in one place and … I agree with them, Dad, I think we should stay here for a while."
"STAY?! Are you out of your damn mind, boy?! You think I can hunt and stay in this godforsaken town all the time? The job comes first!"
Dean stood up, "SAMMY comes first, Dad!"
"Sam won't need any college degree when he takes on the family business, neither will you!" John rose too as the tension in the room began to build.
"Dean we save a hell of a lot of people , we SAVE people so that no family has to go through what we went through !"
"We cant save everyone Dad ! I'll still hunt, I swear but why can't Sam get his shot , why should he give his life so others can be happy ?"
"Sam shouldn't have to hunt! He could have a normal life; it's not too late for him!"
"It was too late for him the day Mary died, Dean!"
"Sam has a future, Dad, stop being so goddamn selfish!"
"You watch your tone with me, boy-"
"It's not fair to make Sam lead the life you want. I'll do it. I don't care, I have no future, but you have NO RIGHT to take his away. "
"I'M HIS FATHER!"
"THEN START ACTING LIKE IT!" Dean seethed before storming out the room, slamming the door behind him.
