you have one voice mail...
I didn't think you'd pick up, Dad. Too scared to answer, right? You've never really liked answering questions. You always liked asking them, even when you had no right to ask them. ...Look, you may think I'm ruined... I don't, but you can think what you want. But, Dean raised me. You didn't. You weren't there. He taught me to drive and how to turn on a stove. He helped my with my homework and, for a long time, he kept me from hating you. The only person who ever had a right to call me ruined was the man who raised me. That'll never be you.
You shouldn't have hurt Cas. And you damn well should have NEVER spit on my brother. You called him worthless. [Sam breathes out, and the sound is sharp and fast.] How dare you. How dare you. You're always have so much to say about doing things for mom? What would she say about you now? Huh?
You want another son? A better one? There is none better than Dean and you damn well know it. That's why you're so scared, scared you're losing your hold on him. Well tough. He's in love, and it's with a man, and you're just gonna have to get over because your bullshit isn't breaking anything this time.
You wanted a another son. Well, John. Good luck with that. All you did was lose one. Don't call me again. We have nothing to say to one another.
John leaned his forehead against the wall as he listened to Sam's message over and over.
Sammy's angry. He is more than angry. He is furious. Enraged. Disgusted.
Where the fuck did he go wrong? When did he start losing his sons?
He had spat on Dean's face. He called him worthless and a failure. He wished he was never born.
What would Mary think? Was he such a terrible father?
He loved them. Both of them.Â
But how could Dean do this to him? It wasn't HIS fault, right?
Was he being an asshole? Did it matter that Cas was a man? Yes. Yes AND no. Sam was right, even though John would never admit it.
He didn't want to lose control over Dean. He just couldn't.Â
He had to keep trying. He needed Dean more than anyone. He would make him do as he said. Dean had to do as he said....
John banged his head against the wall. Twice.Â
What would Mary do? What would she say?
