"Wait, you broke up with her?" Dean looked at Sam, shocked, "You know that we're just going to go find dad, right? You didn't need to give your girlfriend a goodbye speech."
"It doesn't matter Dean. I was just trying to keep her safe and it was the right thing to do," Sam told his brother.
"Keep her safe? What do you mean?" Dean turned in his seat a little to look at Sam.
"Hey, eyes on the road!" Sam exclaimed as Dean quickly straightened up and looked ahead but not before passing Sam a questioning look, "It means that I don't want her involved in this. You said it yourself Dean, it's better to not be attached to anyone when you're a hunter."
"Since when did you start listenin' to me, huh?" Dean asked, trying to hide his smile, "Man, that girl was hot! Hey if you broke up with her does that mean that I-"
"No." Sam knew where Dean was going with his line of thought and he also knew that his brother was joking. Dean would never do that to him…..would he?
"Alright, grumpy," Dean chuckled, as he turned the music up louder and then frowned. He'd been expecting Sam to bitch or at least comment about the music he'd been listening to but if Sam had something to say, he was definitely keeping it to himself. "What do you think about my choice of music?"
Sam looked at Dean surprised at his question but then realised why his brother was asking and said, "Bad as always." He looked back out of the window, chuckling as he shook his head.
"They're the classics, Sammy," Dean smirked delightedly at his brother's reply. It hadn't been as good as he'd expected but it was something and better than sitting in the car alone turning for a reply to remember just in time that there was nobody sitting next to him.
"Hey Dean," Sam called out to Dean quietly, wanting to say something, but his voice got stuck in his throat. I'm proud of us.
"Yeah?" Dean patiently waited for a reply.
"Nothing, it's nothing," Sam quickly changed his mind and tried to swallow the lump in his throat. Damn you, emotions!
"Well, I'm really happy you decided to come," Dean said, "Man, you have no idea how boring it is to be hunting all alone."
"Boring?" Sam questioned, "Try dangerous."
"Nah," Dean widened his smirk, "Nothing's too dangerous for the best hunter in the world. You're second best," he added as an afterthought.
"I thought Dad was the best," Sam flashed a smile, "Wonder what he'll have to say when he finds out that you think of him as the third best hunter."
"Still haven't lost your habit of being a tale-tell, I see," Dean observed.
"Still haven't stopped being so overly confident, I see," Sam mocked, cocking his head arrogantly to the side. He was actually starting to enjoy himself. Now we're getting to the good part.
"Bitch."
"Jerk."
Dean suddenly stopped his Impala to the side as he saw the crowd gathered on the bridge, "What's that?"
Sam turned away from his window and grabbed Dean's arm, "Keep going," he gritted his teeth.
"Just do like I say and keep going," Sam said coolly.
"Okay," Dean started the engine and said, "But you owe me an explanation. As they kept driving, Dean slowed down when he saw a motel just to the side.
"No, not this one, the next one," Sam quickly said and was surprised when Dean kept driving without another word. He only let out another sigh of relief when they reached a completely different motel and checked into their room.
"Alright, spit it out," Dean said as soon as he'd shut the door to their room. When he got no reply, he kept going, "Look, I know that you've been trying to say something to me for a while now and I've been waiting. So, help me god, if you don't tell me what is going on right now I will-"
Dean stopped when he noticed Sam holding his head in his hands. What the hell!
Sam rubbed his forehead as he felt the starts of a headache. He knew what this was, but wasn't it too early for his death visions to come to him when he was awake? Sam gripped the edge of his bed tightly as he curled in on himself, being able to see just blurs of his vision as he closed his eyes.
"Dean!" he managed to gasp out just before the vision came to him.
