21st Hunt [Video] What is and what never should be

[dudeimbatman]

[The video shows Dean in the locker room at the hospital. He's wearing scrubs and staring at a letter. His brow is furrowed as he attempts to figure out what the letter means. Abruptly he crumbles up the letter, scrubs a hand over his hair and starts pacing the locker room.]

This could change everything. I'd be able to send Ruby to that private school. Jo's father might--

[He stops himself there because he's not even sure he wants to hope for that. It's too much of everything he wants and money or not he'll never be a surgeon. Not like Cas.]

I don't know why though. Out of everyone...why would he leave it all to me? I didn't even know him...

[ooc:Genre swtich. The SPN crew is now part of the City Place Anatomy @ the hospital. Male Nurse Dean's impressionable niece Ruby, who is living with her uncle after her Daddy, Sam, had that stint in rehab, finds a pair of boxers in the laundry that certainly aren't his. Confronting long-time love Surgical Resident Jo, she tearily confesses that her father, disapproving of Dean, set her up with the handsome neurosurgeon Castiel. High-class Jo has more in common with him than Male Nurse Dean, and they started a torrid affair. Responses will be from mcbatnurse]

Maybe you could just...avoid him for a while? Let him get a little more stable.

[mcangelfm.livejournal.com]

That what I intend to do.

[She looks at him.]

But since when does Sammy like to be ignored?

[mcbatnurse.livejournal.com]

He doesn't.

[And Dean looks down because he likes Anna and there's no way to soften this. Okay well there could be but it's Dean]

He likes being dumped less.

[mcangelfm.livejournal.com]

You think I don't know that? But what choice did I have?

[She sighs again.]

He needed to wake up, and I couldn't... live like that anymore.

[mcbatnurse.livejournal.com]

I know that. I even get it.

[A sigh in return]

It's Sam. I'm supposed to take care of him. Make sure he's friggin' happy. Or something like that.

[mcangelfm.livejournal.com]

I was his fiancee, I was supposed to do the same. That was part of his problem, we kept making excuses for him, helping him out of trouble...

[She looks at him, sympathetic, but serious.]

If we had cut him off sooner, if we had said, "no more," do you think it would have gotten as bad as it did?

[mcbatnurse.livejournal.com]

I don't know.

[It's a question that Dean has asked himself over and over again]

Maybe not. I just didn't think Sam would ever get involved in something like that.

[A long pause]

Would you have stayed with him if he hadn't gotten as bad as he did?

[mcangelfm.livejournal.com]

[It's a hard question to answer and she sits for a long time before she does.]

I don't know. We were already drifting, I think, but maybe that's just me trying to make myself feel better about leaving him.

[mcbatnurse.livejournal.com]

Yeah...maybe.

[Dean clears his throat and looks up at Anna]

Let's not tell him. Just for a little while.

[mcangelfm.livejournal.com]

Right.

[She closes her eyes and leans back against the wall again.]

I feel like a heel about it.

[mcbatnurse.livejournal.com]

Yeah well...[And he leans back against the wall beside her]

Is there anyway out of this that wouldn't make you feel that way?

[Because in Dean's opinion, at least part of him thinks Anna deserves to feel like a heel]

[mcangelfm.livejournal.com]

[She gives him a sharp look.]

Yeah, we could go back in time and make sure it never happened. But that's not an option, so I guess my answer is no.

[mcbatnurse.livejournal.com]

[Hey, he likes Anna but he's firmly Team Sam here]

Yeah. So you'll have to suck it up. If you still care about him, do what's best for him.
