Sammy... Where Were You When I Needed You?

I've Gotta Go, I'm Sorry..

The next morning, I woke up in my bed. I looked around confused because I was downstairs. Sam's jacket was hanging off my door, so he was still here, which made me happy. Still half asleep, I got up to go downstairs and find Sam. I went downstairs finding Sam in the kitchen, cooking, I didn't expect him to cook or if he knew how to.

"Hey." I say half asleep.

Sam jumped slightly and chuckled, "Hey, Good morning."

I laughed, "I didn't mean to startle you, I'm sorry. Whatcha cooking?"

"Oh, no, it's fine. You don't have to apologize. Oh and, it's nothing special, but it'll be done in a few. Go sit down and I'll get you a plate." Sam says with a giant smile on his face.

I yawn again and walk to the front room, "Alright Sam, thank you."

"No problem!" Sam says and soon comes into the front room with A plate of eggs, bacon, and toast.

"I hope it's alright, I'm a little rusty when it comes to cooking." Sam adds and chuckles.

I take a bite and smile, "It's amazing, thank you."

"I'm glad you like it!" Sam replies with a large smile.

I continued to eat the food Sam had prepared, I enjoyed it. I looked over at Sam, he looked happy, but also looked as if something was bothering him. Setting down my plate, I turned fully turned toward Sam.

"Sam, are you okay..?" I say with concern in my voice.

Sam replies," Y-yeah, I'm fine."

I grab and hold Sam's hand, "Sam, tell me."

Sam sighed and held my hand back in return, "I have to leave soon..."

"What? Wh-" I was cut off by Sam.

"I don't want to, but I have to. Dean got a lead on a new case, we have to check it out." Sam says in a raspy voice, looking me directly in my eyes.

"But Sam, you haven't even been here a day and you're leaving?! Sam, it's been so long and I'm not ready to let you go again and barely talk to you.." I say, starting to tear up.

"Tya, I know and I'm sorry. Dean needs me, they need me." Sam replies.

"I need you too, Sam." I say back in A soft voice.

Sam swallows and becomes quiet. He pulls me close and holds me, we sit there and just hold each other in an embrace. I guess we're both savoring the moment and revel in how the other feels, because we don't know when we'll see each other again. While still holding each other, Sam breaks the silence.

"I want you to open Dean's gift, it'll be of importance somewhere down the road. I want you to open it while I'm still here too." Sam whispers to me and lets me go so, I can retrieve the present.

"Alright." I get up and retrieve the present. I come back and sit next to Sam and start to open the gift. The gift contains Dean's protective amulet, a list of numbers I can contact, when I'm in danger, and a note.

The note reads, "Hey kiddo, I hope you're doing alright. Sorry I couldn't make it to your birthday, I had to go research for a new case but, Happy birthday. Bobby wanted me to tell you that he also wishes you A happy birthday and that you need to come visit him. Anyway, we love ya kiddo and you're always considered family to us. Talk to you later. -Dean"

I smiled at Dean's gift, "Sam, tell Dean and Bobby I said thank you and I will be wearing this charm all the time."

Sam nodded, "You should, we don't want anything happening to you. Anyway, Dean said he'd be pulling up any minute and that I need to be ready."

I nodded and Sam went to get his jacket from my room. A few minutes later, there was A honking outside, It was Dean. Sam came downstairs and proceeded for the door.

"Bye Tya, please take care of yourself for me, for everyone. We care." Sam says before opening the door.

"I will, I promise. Next time I see you, you better be in one piece." I joke and giggle.

"No promises." Sam says jokingly and chuckles.

We both transition to straight faces and become silent. Sam steps closer and grabs me by my chin, and kisses me before Dean honks again.

"I gotta go now." Sam says blushing.

"Yeah, you better go before Dean gets more impatient." I say smiling.

Sam waves bye and smiles. I watch him load into Dean's car, I wave to both of them and then they drive off. I close the door and lock it. I grab Dean's gift and head upstairs to my room. I look in the mirror and put on Dean's charm and Sam's jacket. I smile. I put the numbers in my drawer and notice something, A note.. from Sam.

"You can always call me Tya, I don't want to have a repeat of last year. I'll be back sooner than you think and this time, Dean is coming. -Sam"

I smile and put the note back in my drawer. I'm exhausted so, I lay down and drift off, still in Sam's jacket.
