10:00 Jared Padalecki & Jensen Ackles GOLD (appearance by Hailee Padalecki)

"Guys?" Hailee picks up the microphone, sitting on her chair in the position she picked up from her dad, "I'm just going to come clean with you today."

The crowd falls to a worried hush.

"You guys have been so amazing, you deserve to know what's going on. So let me start from the beginning," Hailee explains, "I was adopted day one. But Jared Padalecki is no less my dad than he is Tom and Shep's dad. Still, I have an older brother by birth. I saw him at least a day out of every week. November fourth, he... He left. He went to Heaven."

Much of the crowd gasps, or makes other noises of surprise and/or sympathy.

"It... it hurts. There is no way of describing how it hurts or how much it does. It just hurts. And I just... I can't keep living like this. I... I want to die. I'm sorry."

Jared wraps his arms around the thirteen-year-old's shoulders from behind, tears shining in his eyes.

"Always keep fighting," he whispers, "You are not alone."

Hailee turns around and hugs her father, willing herself to keep from breaking down.
