Dean Winchester locks up the door to the Roadhouse and heads on home, making sure to text his brother first to let him know he's on his way. He pulls his jacket around him as the air is chilly.
It was around 2am, Dean had to stay at the bar taking stock checks since he forgot to do it that weekend, so on a Sunday night he had to stay late when he'd much rather be in his warm bed.
The walk home was only around ten minutes and once he got to the front door, he fumbled around for his keys, proceeding to unlock the door. Sam was on the couch, stirring as he heard the front door slam shut. "Dean what took you so long?" He whispered, his voice was hoarse, showing he had just woken up.
"The stock check took longer than I thought." Dean shrugged. "I told you, you should have let me help." "I didn't need help, especially since you're starting college tomorrow and need your beauty sleep Sasquatch." Dean winked and ruffled Sam's hair, causing Sam to push him off.
"Anyway Sammy, I'm going to bed, night." "Night." Dean opened his bedroom door and walked in, flopping himself onto the bed without getting undressed. They had moved into the apartment about a week ago, for a fresh start, so that Sam could go to college like he always wanted to, Dean was going to do most of the hunting now so Sam can have a chance at a normal life.
Although Dean didn't care about his own education, he wanted Sam to have the best. They were in Kansas, their home town, and Dean had taken time out when not hunting to work at the Roadhouse, working alongside Jo and Ellen; the owners. When Dean wasn't working or hunting, he needed to work on his 'baby' which was his black 67 Chevy' Impala.
That night, Dean dreamt about his mum and how much he missed her. His dreams started off as happy memories but soon turned into a nightmare once it turned to how she died. He woke up around 5am panting heavily and in a cold sweat. He was screaming and Sam came running into the room. "Dean?! What's wrong? Another nightmare?" Dean nodded before moving over so Sam could sit on the edge of the bed.

Dean was awoken by Sam's alarm at 6am which meant he only had an extra hour sleep. He looked towards the floor and saw Sam smiling up at him. "Sam why did you stay in here?" "In case you had another nightmare." "I'm the big brother, I look after you, not the other way around." Sam chuckled in return.
"Okay Dean I'm going into college at 9am so I'll wake you up again at eight okay?" Dean nodded. "But why are you up early?" "I am going for a jog and doing my morning stretches, also I need to go see Bobby quick."
Dean said his goodbyes to Sam and went back off to sleep.
He could see him mum, Mary, in the distance, in a green field, he tried to run towards her and reach for her but she kept moving further away the closer Dean got, he managed to get close and then she burst up in flames.
Dean woke up screaming again and Sam rushed into the room. "Dude I was about to wake you up, what's wrong?" Dean was panting heavily. "I...ha...had...a...ano...another..." "Nightmare?" Sam finished off. Dean nodded and buried his head in a pillow.
"Dean it's gonna be okay, why don't you take a look around campus with me today?" Dean shook his head. "I promised Jo I'd help out at the Roadhouse since Ellen has some errands to do." "Okay man, I'll be back by four, I don't have any classes since I'm just being shown about."
Once Sam had left, Dean got dressed and headed to the car shop. He was greeted by Bobby. "Hey Dean." "Hey Bobby." Dean wanted to work on his baby for a while.
He continued working on the car with Bobby until four. "Hey Bobby, I'm going now, see ya." Dean waved at Bobby and headed down the road to the Roadhouse. He was greeted by Ellen who was just heading out.
