12. Assignment

Dean strolled past his brother's room. The kid was probably locked up doing some lame-ass nerd assignment or something. Suddenly, he stopped. A strange sound, almost like whimpering was coming from the bedroom. Dean backtracked and opened the door. "Sam? Sammy?"

Huddled in a tight ball in the corner of the room, was Sam Winchester. His older brother quickly ran over to him and placed his hand on Sam's bony shoulders. The younger boy's breaths were coming at a fast, irregular pace. Dean only knew this scenario too well: Sam was having a panic attack.

"Shh... breathe, Sammy." Dean whispered, rubbing his back comfortingly. Sam's panic attacks didn't come very often, but Dean knew nobody should have to suffer one of those alone.
