Chapter 15-Truth Behold
After Sam's meeting with Cas, he had a visitor in House. The older man hobbled into his room and pulled up at chair by him. Sam just watched him. House was trying to think through what to say. Normally, he would've been an ass to a patient by now, but there was just something about Sam. He already had enough weighing on his shoulders and he didn't need to deal with House's crappy attitude.
"Did...um...did Dean do something to you?" House asked.
"What?" Sam asked, unsure of what he meant.
"When you were a kid and it was just you, Dean, and your dad, did they do stuff to you? Stuff that you didn't understand." House asked again.
"You mean molest me?" Sam asked. House nodded his head. "No. He would never do that."
"Then why are you so scared to talk to him?" House asked. "I mean, Dean does look pretty shady for a kid from Kansas, but it's obvious that he has nothing but love for you. And you're hurting him as much as he's hurting you. So, is there anything that you want to talk about?"
"You wouldn't believe me even I told you." Sam said. House smiled and shook his head.
"You Winchesters are all alike." He said. Sam looked at him with wide eyes.
"Wha..." He began to ask.
"You look like your dad and you have his attitude too." House laughed. "I know what you guys do. Have you ever heard of the Jersey Devil?"
"Yeah, but it's just a legend." Sam said.
"Well, it became a legend after your dad took care of it." House said. "He got his ass handed to him, but he still saved my life. I swore that I'd find someway to repay him, and now I can. I can figure out what's eating at his son that's so bad he won't talk to his own brother." Sam sighed.
"It all started about a year ago." Sam said. "I got caught up in the wrong crowd and...and I started the Apocalypse." Sam said. "I unleashed Lucifer onto the world and...I just feel so guilty about it. I can't look at Dean without seeing the hurt in his eyes. I...I can't deal with it anymore." House just stared at him.
"So, the devil is real?" House asked. Sam nodded his head. "Is God real?"
"We haven't seen him." Sam said. "But, I mean if Lucifer's real, than I'm pretty sure God is."
"Guess I better start asking for forgiveness of my sins, right Sam?" House laughed. He couldn't believe that Apocalypse was coming down around them. Yeah, he would feel like shit too is he had signed the end of the world, but the way it was affecting the Winchester's was heartbreaking. From what he had seen when John saved his life all those years ago, these boys were close. "Nothing is too extreme to be forgiven." House said. "No matter what you say. I think that Dean and you need to talk things through, but first, I think we've finally gotten to the cause of your heart problems."
We're getting closer to the end! So what exactly is Sam's promblem? Will it be everything that Dean was thinking or is it something else? Please review!
