And sometimes it rains on a sunny day...

Adam was ash, back to the Earth he had come from. Sam found the biblical reference amusing, which let him ignore the sprained ankle, slashed wrists, and hole just above his liver. Dean had found him some good drugs to take the edge off the pain, but it still hurt like a bitch and standing up for so long had drained him.

Literally.

Anna had to support him as they watched over Adam while he got a hunter's funeral. The blood left in his body was being pulled down by gravity so he was light headed, and by the time the three of them were back at the Impala, Sam just curled up in the backseat and slept.

Anna and Dean weren't talking again, but what else was new? He just ignored them and slipped back off into the blissfulness of unconsciousness.

The next morning he woke up with a groan, his head pounding and still nauseous. "Water," he groaned, not even opening his eyes. Someone was in the room with him and would help him.

God he hated being this week. But he hated throwing up more and if he didn't get some water in his mouth soon...

Anna kept a hand on Sam's back to help keep him sitting up and her other took the empty glass to set aside on the nightstand. God, she was hoping he wouldn't ask about the silence between her and Dean. But... now it's time to tell the truth.

He deserved to know she was leaving. Anna was just hoping she wouldn't have to say it this soon. "N-No, Sam. We're not fighting." And if the tone didn't give it away, the tears in her eyes would.

Sam saw the tears and that worried him. He shifted in the bed, wincing at the pulling along his left ribs as he worked to sit up. "Anna, what's going on? I'm missing something here.."

Anna shifted to steady Sam in her arms, not happy that he was straining himself to sit up.

"Sammy, don't move, okay? You'll tear your stitches." Sighing, Anna held him close to her and swallowed hard before speaking again.

"Your brother... he- he uh, ended things with us."

[likely_evil]

"My brother's an idiot, and you know it. Give him a few days and everything will be fine..."

He melted into her, wincing a bit because he knew it was useless to manuver when she's trying to hold him like that.

Anna loosened her hold on Sam to let him get comfortable while shaking her head.

"No, Sam. It won't be. It hasn't been fine for a while now."

[likely_evil]

"It's been a hard few months..." He relaxed back, closing his eyes and taking a deep breath. "For all of us."

[absit-omens.livejournal.com]

"I know. And that's why I am... handling this as well as I am." Sighing, she closed her eyes and let out a deep breath.

"I've felt this coming for a while now, Sam. I hoped otherwise, because I love your brother, but... I know he needs to do this. Which is why I'm not angry with him at all. Make sure he understands that, okay?"

[likely_evil]

Sam blinked, the moved enough to be able to look at her. "You're leaving, aren't you?"

[absit-omens.livejournal.com]

"As soon as you're better, yes." She nodded, ducking her head to hide behind her bangs as she felt tears well up in her eyes again.

[likely_evil]

Sam lowered his head, biting his lip. "Anna, no..."

[absit-omens.livejournal.com]

"Dean... needs me to leave. He needs to be able to do this without worrying about my safety on top of it. Your brother's scared that I'll die and he doesn't want to lose me. I- I don't like it either, but it needs to be done."

[likely_evil]

Sam rested his head on her shoulder. He could see the logic - hell, he knew Dean was right - but it still didn't help the hurt.

"You're one of the best things that has ever happened to him, Anna. He... he's better when he's with you."

[absit-omens.livejournal.com]

Holding Sam close, she ran her fingers through his hair and tilted her head back to keep from crying -- it felt like all she did was cry lately.

"Sammy..."

[likely_evil]

"I started this, back at the hospital. Didn't I?" He looked at her, worried. "Didn't I?"

[absit-omens.livejournal.com]

"It- It's not your fault, Sam. Dean... asked me to go." Blinking, she sighed when a few tears rolled down her cheeks and dripped onto Sam's head.

[likely_evil]

Sam was quiet for a bit, then snuggled a bit into her arms. "I take it you couldn't just say no."

[absit-omens.livejournal.com]

Chuckling sadly, she nuzzled Sam's head and hugged him tighter. "I did say no, Sam. I fought him on it but after Adam-- I understood why he wants me gone."

[likely_evil]

"I do too... but it's not going to be the same without you."

[absit-omens.livejournal.com]

"Dean needs to focus on the war. He doesn't have the time or energy to keep this relationship going and he- he didn't know why he was with me anymore." And oh, if Sam couldn't tell how badly that last part hurt her to say it, he'd realize it when he felt her tears coming down faster.

[likely_evil]

"The last part is him just denying what he feels, Anna." Sam hugged her a bit... as much as he could with the wrapped wrists anyway. "He sucks at emotional ties, and you know that by now."

[absit-omens.livejournal.com]

Nodding, she took a moment to collect herself. "I know. Doesn't make it hurt less, y'know..."

[likely_evil]

"I know. Trust me, I know. And I'm sorry..." He closed his eyes.

[absit-omens.livejournal.com]

"I'm always gonna be just a call and plane ride away, I promise." She said quietly as her voice cracked and she began to shake.

[likely_evil]

Sam pressed against her tighter, the only way he could hug her at the moment. "Same here, Anna. No matter what happens, I'm always going to have time for you. You just have to call."

[absit-omens.livejournal.com]

Holding him to her chest she started to sob, her cries muffled when she buried her face in Sam's hair. "Oh, Sammy... I'm going to miss you so much. Please- please watch over Dean for me."
