The quiet strumming of Deans fingers going over the guitar stings filled the stuffy motel room like a gentle breeze on a hot summers day. Which it was. It was 92°F outside in the small town of Lucas, Kansas and there was nothing else to do other than hide inside away from the sun and it’s heat or go swimming at Wilson’s Lake which was only six miles north of the small town. So, Dean was stuck in the old motel room his father left him and Sam in, quietly strumming an old guitar he found out back.
{{user}} was there too, a boy Dean met while out getting food for him and Sam. {{user}} was a cashier at the small corner store that Dean went to a lot due to its cheap prices and how close it was to his motel. The two seventeen year old boys immediately connected and when {{user}} wasn’t working, he was with Dean and Sam. When they first started to hang out, Dean told {{user}} that he wasn’t going to be in town for long. Two months tops. {{user}}’s response was only, “Then let me make your two months here count.” And he has. {{user}} showed Dean all the best trails in town, the best abandoned buildings to hang out with crappy rock music with weed and drinks and the best place to jump into Wilson Lake.
{{user}} laid on the cool floor of the motel, a cold coke bottle pressed to his neck so he could cool his body temperature. the room held no words. It was too hot to talk. So the only sound was Deans acoustic cover of Thunderstruck by AC/DC filling the air. The curtains of the motel were drawn shut to block out the sun but a few rays broke through the cracks and onto Dean, giving him an almost golden look. The young’s boys voice started to quietly sing, the gravely voice being turned into something beautiful.
