Sam was not doing so well. It had been a few days, but he was still sad because of the break-up, even though he knew it was for the best, it didn't make it any easier. Sarah had been amazing and understood the whole situation, he really felt bad for not being able to love her the way she deserved. And on top of everything, of course, was his platonic love for Jess.

It was Saturday, Sam was off work but Dean wasn't, and Jo was in some friend's house studying, he was home alone. He was thinking about what he was gonna do, maybe go for a walk or something, when the doorbell rang. When he opened the door, he found Jessica standing outside.

Oh, great.

"Hey, Sam! Can I come in?"

He stepped aside to let her in and closed the door.

"Hey Jess… Dean is not here."

She smiled at him.

"I know… I came here to see how you're doing, Dean told me about Sarah…"

Sam looked down and grinned.

"Yeah… it just wasn't meant to be… it's for the best."

She must have sensed he wasn't sharing more.

"Well, Dean also told me you were a little bummed, and since I was free today and he's at work, I decided I'd come over and try to cheer you up a bit." She shower him a bag. "I brought ice cream and a crappy movie. How does that sound?"

Why don't you just punch me in the face?

"Sure… why not?"

She took out of the bag a Ben & Jerry Chocolate Fudge Brownie and Sam sighed.

"This is my favorite ice cream in the world! How did you know that?"

She laughed.

"I didn't… but it's mine too, and I guess you can't go wrong with this one…"

Sam went to the kitchen to get some spoons and when he got back, she was putting the movie in the DVD player.

"What are we watching today?"

"It's a movie called House of Wax… it's my sister's, she said it's really lame but it's fun to watch… at least so we can make fun of Paris Hilton."

"It's not a romance, is it?"

She grinned.

"No, don't worry… figured out the last thing you'd need to day was romance."

Yeah… right.

They sat down to watch the movie. The pot of ice cream was finished in 20 minutes, so he made some pop corn for them. They didn't talk much, just made silly comments about the movie, specially the 'wonderful acting job' performed by Paris Hilton.

When the movie was over, Sam was feeling strangely relaxed, when he pushed aside his feelings for Jess, even for a few moments, he was able to only enjoy her company. It was so easy spending time with her, talking to her. He was somehow happy for having her in his life, even though he could never be with her. He had missed her so much during those 6 years.

They decided to make something for dinner, since Dean and Jo would be home soon and probably hungry. Jess was a very good cook, and Sam mostly watched and helped her a bit while she made a great lasagna. Dean was very grateful for that and they all had a great time eating together and talking.

Dean had invited Jess to go to an amusement park. He said Jo and Sam were going too, he wanted his brother to have some fun since he was a little down after breaking up with Sarah. He said Sam didn't wanna go at first, but he eventually caved. Jess loved the idea, it would be a good day.

They all had a great time. They went to as many rides as possible, Dean passed some of the most thriller ones so he wouldn't risk hurting his leg. Jo and Dean wanted to go to the Pirate Ship, but Jo refused, she said it made her sick. Sam passed too, so they decided to go get something to eat while Dean and Jo were waiting in line. They got some sandwiches and sat down close to the ride, and ate in a comfortable silence for a while. But Jess couldn't hold her tongue, she wanted to know how he was doing.

"So, Sam… are you better now?"

He took a few moments to answer.

"Yeah… I'm fine. Like I said, it was for the best, Sarah is the most amazing person, I wish I could feel about her the way she deserves, but I don't. And I can't do this to her, it's not fair."

She admired him even more. He could just have stayed with her even though he didn't love her, but he didn't, he couldn't hurt her like that. Sam was really an amazing guy. She didn't say anything, just smiled at him.

They stayed in silence for a while, and Jess thought the conversation was over, but Sam said abruptly "I have found that one person, you know."

She wasn't sure what he was talking about.

"What?"

He looked at her.

"When you asked me if I already fell madly in love. If I had found that 'one person' that I knew was the one. The answer is yes. I did find this person."

He looked away, Jess waited but he didn't say anything else, and even though she was dying of curiosity, she wouldn't ask. She could see hurt in his eyes. It was obviously a difficult subject to him, and she wondered what could have possibly have happened that had such an effect on him.

Dean and Jo returned soon after, and Sam and Jess tried to mask the awkward situation. They went to other rides, and before going home, found a psychic tent. There was a sign in the front, informing that "Madam Ruby can read your heart". Jo and Jess wanted to go, but of course the boys thought it was bullshit. Jess didn't believe in that kind of stuff either, but she thought it could be at least fun to hear what she had to say.

She went inside the tent, and there was a woman sitting at a table covered with a colorful cloth. No tarot cards, no crystal ball, nothing. Jess stood in front of her and waited. Madam Ruby signed for her to sit in the chair across from her. When she did, she took her hand.

"Hi, Jessica."

Jess' mouth dropped. She was good. She thought about saying something but Madam Ruby was very focused, so she waited.

"I see a boy. A very special and unique boy in your life." Jess smiled. She was probably talking about Dean.

"This boy is different than any other one you ever met. Your feelings for him and his feelings for you are one of a kind. This is not the first time you've met though. Your connection comes from another life. Another lives, to be more specific. You are the most perfect definition of soulmates."

Jess was a little uncomfortable. She did like Dean, but she didn't know it was that huge.

"But something is standing between you two. Keeps you separated. But I'm gonna tell you something Jessica. When the time comes and everything tells you to give up on him, don't do it. Keep trying. You two are meant to be together, it's written in the stars."

Jess left the tent feeling kind of dizzy. She thought about everything the psychic had said, and nothing made any sense. She thought she was talking about Dean, but they were already together, there was nothing standing between them. But if it was not Dean, who could she possibly be talking about?

As far as she knew, she didn't like anyone but Dean.

Sam was closer, buying popsicles. She stared at him.

A few weeks passed, and Jess and Dean's relationship was going well. She was also spending more and more time with Sam, she really enjoyed his company. But something was bothering her. She tried to deny it as much as she could, tried to believe it was crazy, couldn't even admit it to herself. But she absolutely couldn't stop thinking about it, as much as she tried. That was killing her.

She was sitting at the counter in the kitchen, lost in thoughts, when Anne arrived. She had to call her name 3 times for Jess to hear.

"What is it Anne? Jesus!"

"Wow sis, a million dollar for your thoughts!" She sat by her side. "What's bothering you lately Jess? Tell me, please… something's wrong with Dean?"

Jess sighed.

"No… nothing's wrong with him, he's amazing… it's just… I can't stop thinking about something… and it's beyond wrong, the worst thing that could possibly happen… I'm a terrible person, Anne."

"Oh my God Jess, I'm getting worried here… what's going on?"

Jess took a deep breath and stared at Anne.

"I think I'm falling in love with Sam."

"WHAT? Are you crazy Jess? SAM? As in Dean's brother, Sam?"

Jess buried her face in her hands.

"I know Anne, I'm a horrible person the worst human being ever… Here's Dean, an amazing, perfect and loving guy, who likes me very much, makes me feel special, and who I want to be happier than any other person, who would be the perfect guy for me. But Sam… I can't explain Anne. Sam is different. I feel something completely new when I'm around him, he's so sweet, so unique, he has a huge effect on me, I really cannot explain. I love being around him, I can't wait to see him, I love talking to him, when I'm with him… I feel at peace. Like I said to you, it's like I've met him before."

"But you asked him and he denied, right?"

"He did and I believe him, but still… it's something so strong Anne… you have no idea."

"So… what are you gonna do?"

She took a few moments to answer.

"I have no idea… I can't confess my feelings, I can't try anything with him, I'm with his brother… that would devastate Dean… I can't do that to him, ad I'm positive Sam would never to that either, he loves Dean more than anything… more than himself, if I dare say… so I don't know, I mean I like Dean a lot… I'm gonna give it more time, maybe it's nothing, let's see how things go… if it becomes unbearable, I'll have to break up with him… oh God, why can't things be easy?"

Anne put an arm around her shoulders.

"They never are, sis."

A few days later, Dean picked Jess up so they would go out to eat, but he soon remembered he had left his wallet at home. So they went back to his apartment to get it.

Dean asked Jess to go get the wallet because his leg was hurting a little, and gave her the key, he didn't know if Jo was back yet and Sam was probably not gonna be home until much later.

She quickly climbed the stairs and opened the door. Jo was standing next to the end table, picking up a book from it.

"Hey Jess!"

"Hey Jo! Dean forgot his wallet, he asked me to get it for him in his room!"

"Okay, you know the way!"

Jess laughed, went to Dean's room and got the wallet from his nightstand, and when she returned to the living room, she noticed there was a paper on the floor, right next to the end table. She assumed it probably fell from the book Jo was holding.

She picked it up to give it back to her, when she noticed it wasn't a paper. It was a photo.

When she looked at it, she saw… herself? But holding her was no one less than…

"Sam?"

She didn't remember taking that picture… and Sam and her looked younger, like it was an old photo… that was impossible…

She turned the photo around, and on the back there was something written.

"Jess and me

San Elijo Beach

May, 2001

Miss you."

She was having trouble breathing. There was absolutely no way, it couldn't be… it didn't make any sense… did it?

She heard her own voice almost screaming "WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?"

She didn't wait for an answer. She ran out of the apartment holding the photo, intending to show it to Dean and demand for an explanation.

But when she reached the stairs, she tripped on one step, and lost balance. She fell forward and rolled down. When she reached the bottom of the stairs, she was already unconscious. She didn't even feel when she hit her head.

Sorry for not updating last week, I was kinda busy and I was having some serious trouble writing this chapter, it took me a while to finish it...

what do you guys think it's gonna happen now?

btw, I love House of Wax (specially bc of Jared and Chad) but I couldn't resist lol...

oh btw... for those who are demanding a love interesting for Dean... stay tuned, I promise something will happen... that's all I'm gonna say. I had the most amazing idea.
