The next morning Dean sat up and smiled down at the girl he loved sound asleep beside him he couldn't believe he actually found love especially because he never knew what love was or how to love someone....
Flashback to deans childhood
He lived in cincinnati ohio with his parents the first few years was the happiest it had ever been just him his mum and dad since the age of 3 his parents took him down to mount Adams they would stay there almost every weekend they would sit their for hours enjoying family time his mum loved photography and would always take pictures his dad was well had his own bar with his best mate Charlie
At them moments everything was perfect until 4 years later just 2 months before his birthday his mum died tragically he never knew why or how but it must have been bad because a month later his dad turned to the bottle for comfort Dean didn't like it but what could he do after his 8th birthday his dad would leave him alone for 3 weeks but Dean never told anybody he would walk to school learn things have a passion for nature and outdoors and science be just like normal then walk home he paid the bills with the safe money find microwaved food heat it up eat then would spend the rest of the evening reading or listening to music to help him fall asleep that was his life for 3 weeks until his dad came home the Sunday evening he would be drunk so Dean would stay in his room so he didn't have to be blamed for anything by Monday afternoon his dad was like he used to be they would have takeaway that night Thursday would be father and son day go fishing visit mount Adams and have dinner out at his bar usually because he owned it but by Friday ment leaving day that was deans life for the next 2 years
Until one day after school he walked in on his dad in bed with another woman and to make it worse it was on the eve of his mum's death 3 years he was disgusted in his dad the two had a massive argument dean told him how he wished his mum was here butwhich led to his dad throwing Dean into the draws lucky they only wobbled slightly but Dean could hardly move he then yelled out its your fault she's not here and left dean pretty much laid there the entire night the next morning his dad awoke and found him there not knowing what happened when he helped him up Dean hit his dad hard he told him he was done with his drinking and him leaving and Dean covering now it's my turn his dad tried to stop him but Dean pushed him to the ground then left he found a abandoned home and stayed there in hiding for the next year that was until his dad finally met him at Mount Adams he promised Dean he was getting better even went to rehab for 6 months and he was now clean Dean agreed to come home went back to school and did well catching up the next 2 years were better until his dad met elena a woman at the bar one night not long later they had a relationship which again left Dean alone all week like nothing changed until 6 months later she split with him he turned to the bottle but this time he was calling it bonding time because he was letting his 14 year old son drink too from Friday to Sunday
This happend for the next 2 months until Dean came in school tired and hungover the school were not impressed that they called social services Dean had to spend 2 months In care which was worse to him than being alone and having to spend his birthday with total strangers one boy he got along with Kevin owens. .
Dean during that time Dean was suspended for 24 days
When he returned in December he promised it was only once (lies) the school told him to buckle down and he did December 19th he returned home him and his dad United finally and everything seemed to go back to normal until 3 months later
31st March Dean had been doing his exams all week at school he finished his geography, biology and English exams the past 2 weeks he returned home after staying at the care home with owens the night before as he was getting adopted the next day (friday)
Quick note: (it's a very sad scene so if you have or know someone who have experienced this I'm sorry )
Dean walked into his home it smelt like an old barn house the lights were off Dean spoke to his dad two days before had breakfast which was unusual cause they never even ate breakfast in the mornings but it was nice
"Dad I'm home sorry I'm a little late the exam finished at 10 past" he yelled out
No answer
"Dad!!" He yelled again
Maybe he went to charlies he thought
Then he noticed half a bottle of rum on the table
Great he promised enough was enough!! He frowned
He walked over then found two notes addressed to him he opened the first one
Dean my boy...
You may be mad at the end of all if this but I felt this was the best way to respond to everything
I've been keeping something from you two somethings anyway I just want to address the bottle on the table i was gonna open it but I thought of our promise and I stuck to it anyway remember December 29th Charlie had to drive me to the hospital after having stomach pains i told you everything was fine well it turned out it wasn't I'm ill the best way to put it and I'm not gonna get better!!
Tears drop from deans face as he continued to read on
I know a few times when I've been drunk I've hurt you and it killed me and the times I've said your responsibile for your mum's death please know it's not true and don't blame yourself when my time comes because well I am responsible!
You see me and Charlie went out earlier before my date night with your mum I had a few drinks but sobered up soon after so I thought anyway we were heading to dinner when I felt I saw something in the middle of the road so I swerved well the car went a crashed into a nearby tree I'm sorry.... ever since that night I felt I was unworthy to be living and how could I yell you how you mum was taken from us because of me!!
Deans tears now were uncontrollable as he finished it
I turned to the bottle because I thought it would erase that moment from me but it didn't and I know I was a bad dad ut i just couldnt face you as my biggest reminder was you but Dean don't let my experience of being a dad scare you to not be one I know you would be a great one.... one day
I'm sorry son... I love you
Dean was shaking uncontrollably and just dipped his head down cradled himself as he cried silently
A few minutes later he looked up and noticed his dad's car keys in the usual spot
"Dad" he wiped his tears away "dad look I'm not mad I think this talks been overdue let's just talk dad!" He yelled out headed for his bedroom door he knocked tried to open the door but it's Jamed as he kicks it open he had not prepared himself for the image ahead "dad" he sniffed as he saw the pills beside him on the bed
He gasped "no no dad"
Dean called for an ambulance and found his spot by the draws as he watches his dad and just cried
A few hours later at the hospital Dean insisted that he was not going Into care again he was gonna stay with Charlie who picked him up Dean spent the next to weeks in school teachers tried to support him as much he would let them but on the 2nd June he insisted he was leaving and not coming back to ohio state high
And a few weeks later after receiving his grades for the year
B in geography c in English c in biology E in the rest of his subjects but PE he got a c
He returned home one last time tidying everything up sold the house for $500 took his 3 pairs of clothing underwear food mostly junk his mum's camera his letters and his dad's half bottle he left paid one last visit to mount Adams there he picked up the bottle then says "this is what you both need no more regrets" he pours the bottle out over the moutain and then scattered his parents ashes "together again forever" he says as he watched them go....
