Dean had freed Bobby from his chair. They practically had to drag Sam to the Impala. Dean hated seeing his brother like this, especially when he knew there was nothing he could do about it at the moment. Sam stopped screaming and started convulsing. He was having some sort of seizure. Dean tossed Bobby the keys so he could drive to the hospital. Dean tended to his little brother in the back seat.
He tried so hard to calm him but this was so very different than anything else they had ever experienced. Sam's eyes were shut tight, but he wasn't asleep. He was violently shivering. Dean checked his brother's pulse. It was far too fast. Dean ran his fingers through his brother's hair, trying to convey the message that he was there. Dean doubted that Sam was aware of it, but it made him feel better.
"Drive faster, Bobby!" Dean called out. Bobby grumbled back some response that Dean didn't listen to. He was focused on his little brother. He was focused on the fact that his brother was breathing and he wasn't going to let that change.
They arrived at the hospital and all three of them were admitted. They told the Doctors that it was a mugging gone wrong. The Doctors assumed that the stress of the situation may have caused Sam to have a seizure. Sam was stable, but in a drug induced coma. Bobby had his hand casted and Dean's shoulder was stitched up. Luckily the knife hadn't hit anything important, and Dean was going to be fine. They had given him a crap-load of drugs to ease the pain. Dean should have been staying in his own room, but he insisted on staying with Sam. He watched as his little brother slept.
Bobby filled Dean in on what Sam had said about what happens when he tries to act like his past self. Dean was outraged that Bobby had even taken Sam along but he knew that it was impossible to say no to Sam's puppy eyes. Plus, if he hadn't taken Sam, Dean and Bobby would probably both be dead. Dean was grateful for his little brother but furious that he'd let him get hurt.
The Doctors told Dean that Sam's chances of waking up were good, but not great. Sam would wake up when he was ready, but Dean was impatient. He wanted Sam awake now. He wanted to know if Sam would be regular Sam or Crazy Sam. Either one was better than Coma Sam.
The wait was agonizing. Every day, Dean and Bobby were on edge, waiting to see if Sam would wake up or kick the bucket. Neither of them had much hope, but they both pretended that he was going to be okay. Dean highly doubted that Sam would wake up. The last time Sam had gone into a coma, they had been lucky. Dean guessed that they had expended all of their luck.
There were a few close calls. Sam would go into cardiac arrest and after a few agonizing minutes, they were able to get him back. Each time it happened, Dean was in the room. It got worse with every day. He kept trying to prepare himself for Sam's possible death, but still hope that he would live. It's not that easy to do both.
It got to the point where all Dean wanted was to know. He just wanted to know whether or not his brother would wake up from this. Either way, he needed to know. Waiting was just too hard.
After two long weeks, Sam finally showed signs of waking up. Dean had never heard better news. A few days later, Sam opened his eyes for the first time in what felt like forever. When Sam was awake and had the ability to talk, he was immediately asking for his brother. Dean was soon at his brother's side, excited to see Sam's eyes open once more. Sam told Dean that his head was hurting a little, but other than that he was fine. He was back to his old self. Dean and Bobby were both grateful to have Sam back. No more crazy Sam.
Dean had never been more relieved in his life. Sam was alive. Sam was awake. Sam wasn't crazy. He was scared that it was all just a dream. Was he really going to have his brother back? For the first time in a long time, Dean got a few hours of rest.
Dean fell asleep in the chair in Sam's room, but was immediately jerked awake by Sam's screams.
"Sam? Sam! What's wrong?" Dean asked urgently. Sam was gasping, looking at his brother as if he was the only thing tying him to reality.
"Nothing." Dean raised an eyebrow. With Sam, it was never nothing. "It was just a nightmare."
"A nightmare about what?" Dean asked. Sam shook his head.
"Nothing. Don't worry about it. It was just a bad dream. Go back to sleep." Dean very much doubted that it was nothing, but decided to leave it alone for the night. He and Sam were both asleep soon after that.
Dean had gone down to the café to get come coffee when he saw the orderlies inside Sam's room, restraining him. Dean immediately ran in. Sam was shouting, looking terrified.
"No! NO! LEAVE ME ALONE!" he shouted at no one in particular.
"Sammy! Sam! Calm down! You're okay! You're okay," he told him. Sam caught sight of his brother and he looked confused for a second. Sam looked around at the other orderlies surrounding him as if he just now realized what he was doing.
"Sorry…I'm sorry," he said. Dean convinced the orderlies that he was just scared and convinced them to leave.
"What was that?" Dean asked Sam worriedly. Sam looked ashamed and scared.
"I thought it was over." Sam told him.
"What?" he asked.
"I thought that being crazy for a while would be the end of it. I guess not. Last night… I was dreaming about what happened in the cage." Dean looked at Sam in shock.
"Okay, so what was that?" he asked him.
"This time it wasn't a flashback."
"Well, then what? A hallucination?" He asked. Sam nodded.
"I thought… I thought I saw Lucifer."
THE END
A/N: So, there we go. Yes, that's it. No epilogue or sequel. Sorry if it's too much of a cliffhanger for you, but I like the idea of the reader deciding where it goes from here. As for me, I think that after this, season 7 just plays itself out almost the same way. Sam deals with Hallucifer and then Cas takes Hallucifer away by taking his crazy, but you can imagine it ending any way you want really. Anyway, thank you so much for reading this! It really has been fun and I couldn't have done it without you guys! Please leave me a review and tell me what you thought of the ending. Thank you so much!
