Wake up

Dean-27
Sam-23
Meredith-17

    Sam was dead. Dean and Meredith had not only lost their father, but know their brother. At first, it was the most pain Meredith had ever felt in her life. The loss of her brother nearly crippled her. She screamed and cried while holding on to her brother's body. Dean held his brother and sister closely, crying along with her on the cold, wet ground. This wasn't supposed to happen. They were supposed to defeat Azazel, all three of them. Not just Dean and Meredith. The pain was unimaginable and it swallowed them whole.

But now, they were numb. Dean and Meredith were staying inside an abandoned run down house. Dean carried Sam's body inside and laid him on a bed when it started to rain. Dean was leaning his back against the wall as he watched Meredith hold on to Sam's body. She had her head on his chest and tears were silently making their way down her face and she gripped his hand tightly. Both Winchester's heard the front door open but no one attempted to see who it was. They didn't care.

Bobby walked inside and placed a bag of food on the table hoping that the two would eat something. He glanced at Sam's body and his heart broke. He considered Sam a son. He considered all three of them his children. He knew this wouldn't be something that they would get over. Bobby walked over to Dean and watched him take a drink from his beer.

"Dean, I hate to bring this up, I really do. But don't you think it's time... we bury Sam." Bobby said hesitantly.

Dean looked at him angrily. "If you know what's good for you you'll turn around and get the hell out of here." He said to him. "Go!" He screamed at him.

Bobby looked at Dean hurt. "I'm sorry. I'm sorry. But, please. Just go." Dean said putting his arms out against the chair. Bobby sighed and turned around. "You know where I'll be" he said and walked off. Dean looked back at Meredith with a broken look. He knew what he had to do. Not only did he have to do it for Meredith but also for himself. He couldn't live without his baby brother. He cleared his throat and walked towards the door. "I'm gonna go for a walk." He said closing the door harshly.

Meredith closed her eyes and buried her face further into Sam to stifle her sobs.

                                     ~~~
 
   After 15 minutes of silence Meredith forced her head up and took a shaky breath. She stared at Sam and her voice cracked as she began to speak. "I remember when I was little....dad... would always leave us in the motel to go to some bar. He would come back and he.... would say things." She cried. "Things you wouldn't say to your kids." She sniffled and put her hand on his arm.

"I would always hear him say things in the middle of the night. I was so scared. I would cuddle up next to you and you would say, "It's okay Meredith. Daddy's just sick." Meredith said oh so quietly. "You taught me how to read and how to write. You would look at me and say "Meredith you can be anything you want to be and you can do anything you want to do." Her eyes crinkled up and she laid her head back on Sam's chest letting out an anguishing sob. She knew she had snot running down her nose but she didn't care. She felt paralyzed. "Sammy, please you have to wake up. I need you, I can't do it without you." She wailed brokenly. "Please, Sammy please. Please, wake up."

In the very next second Sam shot up from the old bed taking big breaths. Meredith backed away almost falling out of her chair. She looked at him with wide eyes her hands shook.

"Meredith? What happened?" Sam asked her confused by her emotional state.

She didn't say anything. Was it really Sam? How could've it been? He was dead no more than 30 seconds ago. That's when she realized Dean was still gone. She looked towards the door and looked back at him. "Sam?" She cried.

"Meredith, what's going on?" He said standing up.

She sobbed and ran into his arms clinging to him for dear life. Sam held on to her confused. "Meredith you're scaring me. What happened? Why are you crying?" He asked. She knew couldn't say anything. She wasn't even exactly sure, yet. She pulled away and wiped at her eyes and shook her head. "Nothing, nothing's wrong. I'm just happy to see you're okay. The knife wound you got was touch and go but Bobby was able to patch it up." She smiled through her tears and hugged him again. He laughed slightly and hugged her back. "Yeah, Mer. I'm okay."

And she knew he was. She just didn't know if her other brother was okay.

  
                                    ~~~

10 minutes later Dean walked back in and smiled at the sight he saw. Sam was okay.

"Sam." He breathed and pulled him in for a tight hug.

Meredith looked at him and instantly knew. She looked away trying push her tears down. She let them have their moment before she stood up.

"Dean, can I talk to you outside please." She said.

"Meredith not now." He said tiredly.

"Now, Dean." She said loudly.

"Guy's is their something I don't know?" Sam asked looking back and forth between his siblings.

"No. It's fine. Meredith, come on" Dean said walking outside.

As soon as Meredith shut the door she let him have it.

"What did you do?!" She shouted, crying again.

"Meredith keep it down." He said avoiding eye contact.

"Tell me!" She said pushing him back. "What did you do?!"

"What I had too Meredith!" He said sadly as tears gathered in his eyes. "I couldn't let him die, Mer. I couldn't let him die."

Meredith stared at him and looked away. Trying to keep her sobs down.

"How long do you have?" She asked. She really didn't want to know.

"A year. I have a year." He said to her.

She whimpered and wrapped an arm around her stomach. Dean watched her fall apart and let a tear fall down his face.

"I already had to watch one brother die. Now I have to do it again?" She cried looking back at him.

Dean couldn't say anything. They both stared at each other. Meredith shook her head and walked over to her brother. She hugged him tightly and he hugged her back. It began to rain once more but they showed no mind too it. They just stayed there and held each other.
