Hey guys! This chapter is going to be all from Sam's perspective! Thought it would be a nice change up, and what happens in this chapter can only be told from Sam's perspective. Anyways, I hope you guys enjoy this chapter! In case of some confusion, since the last book was mostly from Dean's perspective of things, I decided that most of this book would be from Cas' perspective! Anyway enjoy the next chapter of From the Ashes!

Poor lil' Sammie (Chapter 4)
Sam missed his brother. Though Dean was only 20 minutes away, his brother wasn't in his life very much. Other than the carnival, they hadn't seen each other in a really long time. Since Sam was on summer break, he had nothing to do but hang with Jo, but since she was dating someone now, he was on his own.
Jess wasn't answering her phone so Sam was just sitting on the couch watching some stupid show about some doctor. This is so stupid, I mean why would someone actually trust a doctor named ? Sam thought. Sam flipped on his cellphone; he thumbed through his contacts trying to find someone to call. He gave up and threw his phone on the couch.
Sam eventually gave up on Dr. Sexy and started flipping channels, trying to find something interesting to watch.
"And now on the Discovery Channel, Werewolves, Fiction or Fact?" The narrator on TV announced.
"Well, this seems interesting." Sam said to himself, bored out of his mind.
"I'll be your Guardian Angel! You're Sweet Company! No matter where I go, I'll make sure you're all I see!" Sam's phone rang. Sam quickly grabbed his phone, looking to see who was calling him.
"Hello!" Sam answered excitedly.
"Hey Sammie! How ya doin?" Dean replied.
"Stop calling me that! I'm good, how are you Dean?" Sam replied, annoyed that everyone called him by his nickname nowadays, even Jess started calling him Sammie.
"Good, me and Cas have been pretty good." Dean answered.
"Well, that's good." Sam said, thinking back to his fight with Cas.
"Yeah, listen Cas and I were wonderin if you would like to come over tonight? I mean it was Cas' idea, I think he misses you." Dean asked.
"Yeah Dean, sure he misses me." Sam started, knowing that Dean probably missed him." Yeah, I'll come over, I'll be there at 8."
"Great, we'll see you then!" Dean said as he hung up the phone.
Sam stared at his phone, wondering why his brother wanted him to come over so badly, but whatever the case, he got to hang out with his big brother. He set his phone on the couch next to him and went back to watching the werewolf documentary.
*Buzz* *Buzz*
Sam looked over at his phone, looking to see who was texting him.
To:/ Sam
Hey Sam, It's Ruby,from English last year.
From:/Ruby.
Sam thought back to his freshman year, trying to remember who Ruby was.Wait, isn't she that girl that always hit on me? He thought to himself.
To:/ Ruby
Yeah, I remember you. How did you get my number?
From:/Sam
To:/ Sam
Jess gave it to me! Her phone was turned off by her parents and wanted me to tell you that she needs to talk to you!
From:/ Ruby
That's really weird, why would Jess have Ruby text me? Something isn't right…Sam thought.
To:/ Ruby
Alright.
From:/Sam.
This is too weird, I'm gonna go check on Jess, just to make sure she is alright.
Sam got up and walked towards the door, grabbing his jacket as he walked out the door. He stepped down the curb and started walking towards Jess' house. He was really worried for her, something about what Ruby was saying made Sam really nervous. He walked faster, trying to get to Jess' as quickly as possible.
10 minutes later Sam arrived at Jess house. He walked up to the door, knowing that Jess should be home. He knocked loud enough so everyone at the house would know someone was at the door. Sam waited till Jess' mom answered the door.
"Oh hi Sam!" Jess' mom said as she swung the door open.
"Hi is Jess here?" Sam asked.
"Yeah, I'll go get her, you can come in if you want?" She said as she walked towards the stairs.
Sam stepped inside the house, taking a seat on the couch while he waited for Jess. Something didn't feel right about the whole situation.
" Sam, Can you come upstairs?" Jess yelled from the top of the stairs.
"Yeah sure." Sam replied as he made his way over towards the stairs. When he reached the top of the staircase, he turned to find Jess waiting at the edge of her door. She turned into her room before he could say anything. He started to follow her into her room when he spotted her mother at the end of the hallway, she didn't look at Sam, she just looked down and away. When Sam saw that he got 100 times more nervous than he already was.
Sam walked into the room to see Jess sitting on her bed. He slowly walked over to her and sat next to her.
"Are you alright?" Sam asked. He noticed that Jess had a bruise on her cheek, which only made him more concerned.
"No, I'm not." Jess stated plainly
"What's wrong? Is everything alright?" Sam asked very worried.
"Yeah, I'm fine. Listen Sam," Jess started, "I don't ever want to see you again. I don't want you to ever text me or call me ever again." Jess said as she started crying.
"What is going on? Last time we were together you told me you loved me and now you are telling me you never want to see me again. What's wrong?" Sam cried, feeling like his heart was being ripped out.
"Listen, you need to go. Just please, leave." Jess continued crying.
Sam stood up, crying, and walked out of Jess room. Jess' mom was still standing at the end of the hallway. Sam continued to walk down the stairs, trying to not fall down the stairs through is burning, blurry eyes.
5 hours earlier
Jess was in the bathroom, putting on her makeup for the day. She was trying to put on her eye shadow, trying not to stab herself in the eye.
"Hey Jess, I'm off to work! I'll see you in a couple hours." Jess' Mom called from downstairs.
"Alright Mom! I'll see ya!" Jess called from the bathroom.
Jess continued to put on makeup, this was her peaceful time where she could just relax and enjoy herself. She turned on her IPod and she started to rock out to it, while putting her blush on.
She was almost done when she got hit on the back of her head. She fell to the ground , knocked out.
When she came too, she was tied to her chair, blindfolded and gagged. She tried to move but she wasn't able to go anywhere.
"So, you're awake?" A woman said. Jess jumped in her chair, crying from fear of who was doing this to her. She is going to kill me! Jess thought, terrified.
"You're going to tell me everything you know about Sam Winchester." The woman commanded as she walked behind Jess and took the gag out.
"Oh my god, please don't kill me! I'll do anything!" Jess begged.
"Shut up!" The woman screamed as she hit slapped Jess across the face.
"Now, tell me what you know about Sam Winchester!" the woman yelled again.
"He lives with Ellen Harvelle, owner of Roadhouse Bar. His brother Dean lives in the Colt apartment grounds. Dean drives a 67 chevy Impala. "Jess confessed, afraid for her life.
"Where do Dean and Cas work?" The woman asked.
"How do you know about Cas? I didn't say anything about him?" Jess questioned.
"Shut the fuck up! I'm the one asking the questions here!" The woman said." Where. Do . They. Work?"
"Dean works at Singer autoshop and Cas works at the library, but I assume you know that already, Bella." Jess said.
"I'm not Bella. I am much worse than Bella, you little Bitch." The woman said as she hit Jess again.
Jess started crying again, praying to God that she will get out of this alive.
"Now, here is what you are going to do." The woman started. " You are going to tell Sam that you never want to see him again. You will never see him again. If you warn Sam in anyway, we will kill you. If you don't follow these orders we kill your family. " Jess started crying from what she was being told." Now, I am going to set this timer for 20 minutes, and once it goes off you are free to continue on with your day. If you get out before the timer we will burn your house down. Do you understand?"
"Yes." Jess stated through the tears.
"Good." The woman said as she walked over towards Jess and undid the ties on her wrist. "You got 20." The woman stated as she disappeared.
20 minutes later Jess heard the timer go off and stood up and removed the blindfold, she was still crying when she saw her phone. She ran over to it and went to call the police. She was about to punch in 911 when she remembered what the woman said. She set the phone on the bed when she heard it go off. She walked over to the phone and checked who it was.
To:/ Jess
Hey, wanna do something tonight?
From:/ Sam.
Oh my god Sam!Jess thought, starting to cry again.
When Sam got home from Jess', he tried to go up into his room but was stopped by Ellen.
"Hey Sammie, where ya' been?" Ellen asked, while making dinner, not looking at Sam.
"Jess'" Sam said. Ellen looked up when Sam said that and saw that he looked like a wreck. She dropped what she was doing and ran over to Sam's side. Ellen ushered Sam over towards the couch.
"What happened Sammie?" Ellen asked.
"Jess told me that she never wanted to see me again." Sam started," I don't understand…the last time I saw her she told me that she loved me, and now she never wants to see me again. It doesn't make any sense."
Ellen didn't know what to say. She hugged Sam and tried to comfort him to the best of her abilities. Jo walked in while Ellen was trying to help Sam. Jo ran over to where Ellen was.
"Oh my God, Sammie what happened?" Jo yelled.
After an hour of trying to comfort Sam, Ellen and Jo were at their wits end. They had no idea what to do or say anymore. Sam wouldn't accept the fact that it was over with Jess. After the condolences about the break up, Sam went up to his room. He was trying to relax on his bed when his phone went off.
"I'll Be Your Guardian Angel!" his phone rang.
"Hello." Sam tiredly answered.
"Hey Sammie, where are you? I thought you said you would be here by 8?" Dean asked.
"Right, sorry. I forgot," Sam started, I should see my brother, even if I'm in this funk, Sam thought to himself." I'll be right over."
"Alright see ya soon." Dean answered as he hung up the phone.
Sam walked over to his closet and grabbed his he was going down the stairs he heard Jo and Ellen talking.
"I don't know, something doesn't seem right about this whole situation." Jo said.
"Yeah, it just doesn't seem like Jess had a choice." Ellen responded. Sam had heard enough and walked down the stairs.
"I'm going to Dean's for the night." Sam said as he walked down the stairs.
"Are you sure?" Ellen answered.
"Yeah, I told him I would be there, so I'm going." Sam said.
"Well, at least let me drive you over there." Ellen asked.
"Alright." Sam answered.
Sam arrived at Dean's, excited to see his older brother. Sam walked up to the door, still unsure if he should even be there. He knocked on the door unsure if he even wanted to be heard a rushing from inside the house, which sounded like a little kid running to get the door.
"Well hey there Sammie!" Gabriel answered the door. Sam's excitement for seeing his brother, instantly drained from every bone of his body.
"Gabe, I told you to not answer the door!" Dean yelled from the bathroom.
"Well, it seemed like you and Cas were a bit busy in there so I decided to be a good brother and answer the door."Gabe replied.
"Gabriel, I was in the bedroom. Not the bathroom." Cas said as he walked out of the bedroom." Hello Sam, it's nice to see you again. "Cas greeted as he gave Sam a hug.
"Hey Cas." Sam greeted.
Sam walked into the house and sat on the couch. Gabe ran to the couch and quickly took his seat next to Sam. Cas went to the kitchen to get something to drink. Dean walked out of the bathroom and walked over to Sam. Sam stood up and gave Dean a hug, Sam didn't realize how much he missed his big brother until he was hugging him.
Dean took one look at Sam and knew that something was definitely wrong.
"Hey Sammie, how ya doin?" Dean asked, mid hug.
"I'm alright." Sam lied, but Dean saw right through it.
"How's Jess?" Dean prodded.
Sam avoided the question and went to go get something to drink, he walked into the kitchen where Cas was standing.
"Alright then. Anyway, wanna watch a movie or something?" Dean stated.
"Yeah sure." Sam answered.
Sam watched as Dean looked over at Cas, who nodded his head.
"Gabriel, maybe we should go take a walk to the store so you can get an energy drink?" Cas asked.
"Sweet, I've been dying for some caffeine!" Gabriel said as he jumped up and ran out the door. Cas followed after him after giving Dean a quick kiss.
Sam watched as Cas closed the door behind them and Dean walked over to the couch where he was sitting.
"Sam. What's going on?" Dean asked.
"Nothing." Sam lied again.
"Sam, do not bullshit me. Something is going on and you are going to tell me!" Dean replied, starting to get annoyed.
"Dean, it's not something that you can fix." Sam answered.
"That doesn't mean that you can't tell me. Just because I can't fix it, doesn't mean that I can't help." Dean stated.
Sam felt all the emotions of the day slowly coming back to him. Sam and his brother were always close, but they didn't really talk about their emotions or anything like that.
"Jess broke up with me." Sam cried.
Sam watched as Dean's face dropped.
"Are you serious? This was all about a girl! Seriously?" Dean said angrily.
Sam looked at his brother who just looked pissed off. Without a second thought Sam punched Dean in the face, knocking him off the couch.
"You have no reason to get pissed off at me! I LOVED HER! And now she is gone and you're mad at me!" Sam screamed at Dean, who slowly got up off the ground.
"I'm not mad at the fact that you broke up, I'm mad cause you're letting some girl get you so upset! And if punching me in the face makes you feel better, than have at it!" Dean yelled back.
Sam didn't know what to do; he just sat back down on the couch and folded into himself, crying.
Dean looked at his broken brother, not sure what in the hell to do. Cas was much better at handling emotional people. God where the hell is Cas? Dean thought. Dean just sat down on the couch, he reached over and hugged his broken little brother.
Sam just broke down, he didn't know what to say or do.
"Dean, something isn't right about the whole thing. I mean one day she tells me that she loves me and the next she tells me she never wants to see me again." Sam cried out.
Dean was taken back by what Sam had just told him. That does seem weird, Dean thought.
"I'm sorry Sammie. I know a break up is hard, but you can't let this destroy your life." Dean tried to convince Sam. That's really weird, didn't Jess say something about Bella?Dean thought.
"Listen Sammie, if you ever need me for anything feel free to call me." Dean comforted Sam.
" I know Dean." Sam said through his tears.
Dean was about to say something when the door flew open and Gabriel was standing there. Cas was right behind him, out of breath.
"Sorry Dean, Gabriel ran off." Cas wheezed.
"You can't keep me away." Gabriel stated.
Sam stood up, already annoyed with Gabriel, he walked into the bedroom and locked the door.
Dean looked over at Gabriel angrily.
"What?" Gabriel asked.
Dean just stormed off and walked over to the bedroom.
"Sam!" Dean knocked.
Cas walked over to Dean and tried to open the door. Cas shot a look at his brother, telling him to leave.
"Fine I'll leave." Gabriel said as he grabbed his jacket and walked out the door.
"Sam, will you please open the door. Gabriel is gone, it's just us now." Cas asked.
Sam unlocked the door and went back and sat on the bed. Sam heard as the door opened and Cas walked in.
"So what, is it the boyfriend's turn to try and calm me down?" Sam asked annoyed at Cas' presence.
"No, it's a friend's turn to reconcile a lost love." Cas answered calmly.
"I know what you are feeling right now." Cas started.
"You don't know a damn thing!" Sam yelled angrily.
"I do. How do you think I felt when I thought Dean was going to die? I thought that my life was over, that there was nothing left in my life. " Cas replied, " But, I remember a certain someone who brought me back from that, and that was you. Now it's my turn to bring you back from the brink."
Cas walked over towards Sam and gave him a hug. Sam thought back to when his brother was in the hospital, he remembered what Cas was like. He remembered that Cas was a complete wreck.
"I'm sorry Cas, I didn't mean to snap at you." Sam apologized," I forgot that you almost lost Dean, and you had to face the same thing that I did. "
"It's alright. Just don't forget that your brother and I care about you more than you can imagine." Cas replied.
"I know you guys do." Sam answered.
"And whatever your brother told you, it was his idea for you to come over." Cas answered.
Sam laughed at the lie his brother told to get him over here.
"Thank you Cas. You have done more than you can imagine for me." Sam thanked.
Sam spent the rest of the night at Dean and Cas' house, being in the company of his brother made everything better. Dean and Cas tried their best to cheer Sam up, and to a point it worked. Sam smiled for the first time that day, but in the back of his mind, there was something that wouldn't let him forget that Jess was gone. Maybe Dean is right, maybe I should just forget about her and move on. Sam thought to himself.
"Thanks for everything guys, really it means a lot to me that you spent the whole night trying to cheer me up." Sam said.
"I'm your brother Sam, it's my job to cheer you to make fun of you." Dean joked
"And sorry about the shiner I gave you." Sam apologized.
"It's fine Sammie." Dean accepted.
"Thanks guys." Sam thanked Dean and Cas.
"Let me give you a ride back to Ellen's." Dean stated.
"Thanks but I'd rather walk, give me some time to think things through." Sam denied.
"Alright." Dean accepted.
"Bye Guys." Sam said as he walked out the door.
Sam walked down the stairs from their apartment and down the street. Ellen's wasn't too far from where he was and he continued to walk on, thinking about all the things that Dean and Cas had said to him.
I think that Dean might be right. Maybe I should just move on and forget about Jess, Sam thought. He walked through the streets trying to figure out what the hell he was going to do. What the hell should I do? He screamed internally. He was a couple blocks away when his phone went off.
To:/Sam
Hey, where are you?
From:/Jo
To:/ Jo
I'm on my way I'm a block away.
From:/ Sam
Sam was outside the house when he saw someone sitting on the porch.
"Well hi Sam." Bella said.
"Hi Bella, what are you doing here?" Sam asked.
"I was looking for Dean, I thought that maybe he would be here." Bella answered.
"He isn't here." Sam answered plainly.
"I can see that. Well if anything changes give me a call." Bella said as she put a card down on the step and walked over to the curb and disappeared into the night.
Sam walked into the house and noticed that all the lights were off and quickly made his way to his room. He closed the door behind him and turned on his laptop and sat on his bed. Once the laptop was all booted up, he opened up google chrome and opened up his email. Hoping to find something interesting to take his mind off everything he scrolled through his new email list. He stopped he noticed an email from an unknown sender.
Sam opened the email to find an encrypted email. After a few minutes he was able to decrypt the email and figure out what the sender was trying to tell him.
Dear Sam,
I'm sorry about the things I said to you. I didn't mean them in the slightest. I was attacked in my home and they told me that I couldn't talk to you in anyway. I figure an encrypted email and using an unknown email account I just set up.
I'm really sorry, but I can't keep in contact with you. I will try and keep in contact through new email accounts and encrypted messages. But we can't do it all the time, I'm not sure if they are watching me or not.
I'm sorry about what I put you through; I know it must have been really difficult for you. I really do love you, but they can't know about that. I love you and will email you soon. Please forgive me.
Love you,
Jessica.
Sam burst into tears, he couldn't handle what was just told to him. He didn't know what to do, everything was so confusing. All he did know was that he loved Jess and nothing could keep them apart.
Jess,
Thank you for telling me, do you have any idea why these people are trying to separate us?Any idea's what they want.
I love you too, and I can't wait for the day when we are able to be with each other again! Please, don't keep me in the dark.
I love you
Sam.
Before he sent the email off, he quickly encrypted the email with the same encryption style that Jess used. He yawned , exhausted from his day, he closed his laptop and turned his lights off and went to bed.
A couple hours earlier
Jess sat at her computer, sending the message to Sam. Once it was sent she deleted the cookies and made sure there was no way they would be able to see where she went on her laptop. She closed her laptop and went downstairs to go outside and go for a walk. She slipped her shoes on and went out the front door. She walked towards Ellen's, knowing that she couldn't have any contact with Sam or anyone else, but still, walking by the place gave her some comfort.
Before she got to Ellen's, she thought about the safety of her family, which was at stake. She quickly turned on her heels and walked back towards her house. She ran back to the house, worried for the sake of her family.
When she got to her house, she noticed that nothing was wrong she relaxed a bit and went back up to her room. She took her shoes off and went into the bathroom. She turned the light on and took off her makeup. When she was finished, she walked out of the bathroom and back into her room. She walked over to her bed and laid down on it. She closed her eyes trying to relax and take a breather.
She slowly opened her eyes, trying to get them to adjust to the light. When she could actually see, someone was standing over her, and the person hit her over the head, she instantly blacked out.
When she came to, she was in a extremely dark room, tied up tried to look around but the room was pitch black except for a light in the corner of the room.
"You just couldn't stay away could you." A man said from the shadows.
"I did exactly what you said!" Jess yelled.
"Don't fucking lie to me!" The woman from before said as she punched Jess in the gut.
"We saw that you sent an email to Sam. Now he knows of our plan. But you aren't going to be sending emails anymore." The man said.
"Please I didn't do anything; I didn't email Sam or anything." Jess pleaded.
"What did I just fucking say!" The woman yelled again, and this time punched Jess in the face.
"We watched you do it; you think we didn't make sure you wouldn't email him." The man said calmly.
The man was about to say something when his phone rang.
"Hello?" The man asked.
"So he is back at the house." The man said.
"Well, now he will know is going on. We will need to be extra careful." The man said.
"Right, we can't have any loose ends this time." The man stated as he hung up the phone.
The man looked over at Jess with an evil smile on his face.
"So what should we start with?" the man asked as he reached over to the counter and grabbed a knife.
Sam was walking through a graveyard, looking for his mother's grave, trying to drop of some lovely orchids that he picked up. He got to his mother's grave, but something was wrong. Jessica Moore? Sam thought as he read the tombstone. Right after he finished reading the tomb he heard a blood curdling scream.
Sam woke up, the screams still fresh in his mind like someone had screamed right in his ear. He was terrified of what just happened, not sure if it was just a bad dream or a premonition or something. He didn't know what to do. He sat up, and started crying, not sure if anything he could do would change anything.
A/N: i had a lot of fun writing this chapter. I think it was because it was from a completely neutral perspective, like Sam wasn't really a part of the relationship of Cas and Dean.. at all! And i really enjoyed writing Jess' parts, they were just so different compared to writing a guys perspective. Anyway i hope you guys enjoyed this chapter! I'm thinking of writing another chapter from someone besides Dean and Cas' perspectives, but i'm not positive yet.
Anyway, i have a quick question for you guys! I want each character to have an individualized ringtone for their phone, i have Cas' picked out already but i need help deciding what Dean's, Jo's, and Gabriel's ringtones should be! Any thoughts? feel free to PM me what you guys think!
The next chapter should be up next Monday! Love you guys!
