Baby - Life on the Road

by bjxmas

This is Baby's legacy, to roar down two-lane blacktop, a warrior and a protector. She's been there from the beginning and will be with them until the end. Through good times and bad. She's a hunter, part of the family business. Most importantly, she's home to the Winchesters. This is her story. 100 word drabbles. Baby remembers the early days.

15. Business of Denial

Chapter Fifteen - Business of Denial

Winchesters aren't known for talking about their feelings.

Feelings that run deep and raw.

Angry…sullen…hurt…

Buried in denial…bent on self-destruction.

When the pressure mounts…answering with a punch.

Dean was gut-punched when Sam left.

John just as devastated, even though he refused to face it.

Loss of another family member dragging them down.

Their only means to function, the hunt.

Ignoring the hole in their lives.

John barking orders.

Dean following them.

Never admitting how shot to hell he was.

Focused on his job.

The Family Business…

The rest too painful.

Clinging to that purpose.

Saving other families.

His own gone.

The End

So how are we liking S13? I love how thirteen seasons in, Jensen and Jared can still find new emotions & ways to express their grief. Dean is shot to hell, drained dry and empty, going through the motions and yet Jensen draws us into his grief, the intense depth of it. I can't wait for him to totally break through and truly let loose with all that he is feeling. Powerful stuff!
