No Son of Mine

Things were a blur before "After". They weren't great by any means, but compared to what was happening to Dean now, "Before" was practically heaven. Dean's having trouble hiding the bruises, but if Sam knows, he doesn't seem to put two and two together; Dean absolutely refuses to believe that his brother just doesn't care. He tries to push through it, knowing that things have been tough on his dad, but when he starts to fear that one of these times his father isn't going to stop, he heads out to seek refuge from a few friends. When word gets out that John is hellbent on getting Dean back, though, Dean's afraid that he might've just brought three innocents into a war that they were never meant to be apart of. *Title from the song "No Son Of Mine" by Genesis.*
