Summary: After Mary died speaking didn't seem that important, until it was. But it wasn't the last time Dean lost his voice.
A/N: Unoriginal title is unoriginal. I am posting this now and only here because even although it was inspired by the
spn_bigpretzel DEW challenge, to create an imaginary friend for Dean, it is definitely neither fluffy nor funny. Sorry guys.
The first time Dean stopped talking, he was four. Lasted two months, until the day Dad couldn’t get Sammy to stop crying. Dean broke his silence to soothe his baby brother. Sang him to sleep.
The second was when he started kindergarten. He’d never seen so many kids all at once. That’s when he met Sally. She never made him talk. Sally liked to talk. She told him things. She told him everything. She’d read his book out loud. Draw on his paper. His hand. Make him laugh.
Dad sent her away though.
Turned out she was some dead kid.
