Thanks for your reviews! :)
Dean sat with Sam throughout the night as they watched cartoons together, until Sam surprised him with a question.
"Dea?"
"Yeah Sammy?" He lowered the volume so he could hear his brother better. "W...when dad coming ack?" Sam sounded so desperate, so wanting to see John. "Why gone?"
Dean sighed. He should have known that Sam would have been stubborn enough to keep on persisting and not giving up asking. He cleared his throat, dreading the fact that he was going to have to tell his brother the truth.
"I...he's not coming back Sammy." He knew now it was only a matter of time before Sam found out the truth through his questions.
Sam looked confused.
"Why.......don't like us no more?"
"No Sammy, of course not, he loves us, more than anything," Dean quickly tried to reassure Sam's fears. He sighed and took some deep breaths as he tried to figure out how to tell his brother that their father was dead. "Sam...Dad's not going to come back anymore because...because he can't..." He was still stalling, even he knew this. But Sam looked more confused and concerned than satisfied.
"I....e urt?"
"What? No, he's not hurt...not anymore...Sammy..."Tears were falling from Dean's face now. He honestly wasn't sure how this would affect Sam, if it would do more damage than good. Sam stared at him in bewilderment and touched Dean's tears.
"Why ou crying Dea?" Fear was in his brother's voice. He swallowed and tried to fight back the tears.
"Sam...Dad's not coming back because....because Dad's dead..." There he had said it. The bandage was off. Silence filled the room. Sam shook his head.
"No..." Tears were rolling down his face. "No....true...false..."
"I wish it was false, Sammy," Dean whispered and wrapped his arms around Sam's shoulders tightly.
"Ho...how..."
"Car accident," Dean lied. He couldn't go into the hell buisness without bringing up the demons and monsters and that would be way too much for Sammy to handle.
Tears were really flowing now.
"D...a....really...ead?"
"Yeah Sammy...dad's really dead." Dean managed to choke out. With that gasping sobs appeared and Sam's entire body started to shake. Dean hated himself more than ever as he watched and heard his baby brother sobbing onto his arms like this.
"I'm so sorry, Sammy," he whispered, running his hands through Sam's hair as he rocked Sam back and forth. "So sorry." The sobbing must have been fairly loud for Bobby rushed into the room looking concenred.
"What happened?" He was careful not to show anger his voice. Dean swallowed.
"I told him that dad's dead," he said softly and Bobby's eyes widened. It took all he could not to shout
"You what?!" Instead he asked the same question, but in a calm manner.
"He...he wouldn't stop asking Bobby, I couldn't keep lying to him."
Sam looked up as he recoginzed another voice in the room. He stared at Bobby with his tear stained face.
"Da....dead..Un....uncle Bo....bby..." His voice was shaking, making it even harder to understand. Bobby swallowed himself as he saw the pained look on Sam's face.
"Yeah he is, Sammy." His normally gruff voice softened.
"As....as it...uick?"
"Was it quick?" Bobby repeated as he glanced at Dean who slowly nodded and quickly Bobby nodded too. "Yeah, Sammy, it was quick."
Sam nodded as he continued to give shuddering sobs. Dean tightened his grip on his brother.
Bobby opened his mouth and than closed it, unsure of what to say.
"Call me if you need anything," he finally decieded to say and Dean nodded, hating himself for telling Sam something like this. For bringing his brother this kind of pain when he had already been through so much. And so for the next few hours Dean held Sam and rocked him back and forth as Sam was unable to stop sobbing...
Kind of an odd ending, I know, and short yes, but full of emotion right? What do you guys think of me making a sequel for Powerless at some point? Or should it be a really long fic?
Edit: Some peopel seem to think by asking this I'm suggesting that this is the last chapter. Sorry for that confusion, don't worry-it still has a ways of being finished :) I wouldn't make the ending this depressing!
