A Normal Life

School Life

Sam POV

Sam grinned at Dean’s comment. He knew that Dean would protect him, he didn’t even need Dad to tell him that. Even at school, Dean was like a guardian angel. Always there no matter what the situation was.

They pulled into the school parking lot and Dean parked.

Both of them sat in the car for a few minutes. Not saying a word but they both knew what the other was thinking. If their parents were okay, they would have called by now.

Dean wiped out his phone and stared at the screen intently.

“Anything?” Sam asked, almost afraid to know the answer.

His brother shook his head, “But that doesn’t mean they aren’t dead. They could just not have any access to a phone right now…”

“What are we going to do Dean?” Sam asked again “What if we can’t go home after school today? Where do we go then?”

“We have family Sam. It isn’t like we’re alone in this.” Dean pointed out with a sigh “I don’t know, if we don’t hear from Dad by the end of the day then we will just call Bobby. Alright?”

Sam nodded “Okay.”

Dean slowly let his head fall into a nod too “Okay, now to survive school. Out you go.”

His brother got out of the car first, leaving Sam sitting there. Somehow he couldn’t force himself to get out of the car. There was a knot in his throat, a bug pain that made him want to curl up in a ball. He didn’t want to go to school. He didn’t want to face the real world when all he knew could be disappearing before his eyes.

Someone knocked on his window and he jumped. Outside Dean was waving him out of the car with an annoyed look on his face.

Sam opened the door and slunk out of the car, grabbing his bag on the way out.

“I’m sorry.” Sam said softly. He stood there beside his door, which Dean closed for him. He knew that he was acting like a child, but he didn’t care.

“Sammy?” Dean said, placing a hand on his shoulder.

Sam looked up and shook his head “I’m fine.” And suddenly, that wasn’t a lie anymore. He felt coldness spread around him, as if his heart were building an icy wall around it. Keeping it from shattering so that he could at least get through the day.

Dean on the other hand, didn’t look troubled at all. He didn’t seem worried nor did he look like he cared if their parents were dead or not.

Sam thought wasn’t fooled, he knew his brother was just as upset about this as he was. He couldn’t hide that from him.

“Let’s just go inside.” Sam said after a minute. He shrugged off Dean’s hand and walked off on his own. He knew it was rude to leave his brother alone like that but he really couldn’t deal with it right now. He didn’t want to deal with it right now.

He wanted to get through the day and pretend that everything was just fine.

“Sam!” He heard his name and turned around to see his friend Jason running down the hall.

He stopped and waited for him to catch up, “Hey.” He said when Jason finally reached him.

Jason grinned, making Sam smile even more. Jason was a short kid with floppy blonde hair and bright blue eyes. His bangs fell a little in his eyes and he was a good foot shorter than Sam.

They walked down the hall toward their first class together. Sam spotted Dean over in the corner with his football buddies and their girlfriends. However his brother was standing there alone with a brooding look. No one took any notice of the strangeness in his attitude, then again Sam and Dean had always been able to read each other better than other people could.
