Chapter Text
John Winchester had moved to Lawrence, Kansas with his mother when he was just seven years old. The whole town mocked him, treating him as if there was something wrong with him since he didn’t have a father to raise him, and his mother was working all the time to support him. He became the town outcast and was never accepted with his mother as his only ally.
When he was seventeen, John lied about his age and joined the Marines to get himself out of Lawrence because he couldn’t stand to be in a town where he was such an outcast any longer.
Three years later, twenty year old John left the military and returned to Lawrence. His mother had married a car salesman and moved out of his childhood home. John, not fond of the idea of living with his mother and her new husband, found himself a small house on the edge of town. Upon his homecoming, he met the prettiest girl he’d ever seen. Her family had moved to town about two years ago and the whole town loved the Campbells. When John took a liking to their daughter Mary, the town was outraged; he was the town outcast, and she was the sweet new girl in town, but Mary liked John. She was able to look past all the rumors and lies that most had come to accept as truth about him, and they quickly became good friends.
John fell in love with Mary, and eventually she came to love him back. A year and a half after they had first met, John and Mary got married and nine months later, their son Samuel was born.
When Sam was only six months old, Mary was found, drowned in the river. Everyone in town blamed John because he was her husband, and because of his reputation.
An innocent John took baby Sammy and fled town never looking back and never staying in one town for very long. He was always trying to figure out who could have killed his Mary. They were on the road constantly, staying in motels and hostels, usually spending no more than a week in one town before moving on to the next.
When Sam is sixteen, he and John go to stay in Sioux Falls, South Dakota with one of John’s old friends from his Marine days.
Bobby Singer owns a car shop and salvage yard and Sam soon finds himself infatuated with the beautiful, green-eyed young man that works there.
