Sounds a bit like The Order of Things by anna_lei on Dreamwidth for the 2011 Big Bang. Sandy is the one who is sick.
Summary: On the cusp of what could potentially be the most defining summer of his young life, budding artist Jared Padalecki has just made a decision that could send his carefully constructed world into tailspin. Five years after running away, he’s going back home. Back to Rhylee, Texas – back to everything and everyone he’s been steadfastly avoiding for the last half a decade. Except now, with his first solo art exhibit fast approaching, a newfound case of painter's block, and reminders of his past around every corner - Jared's beginning to realise that maybe, it isn’t Rhylee that he’s been avoiding all these years. Maybe it's the secrets he left there. A story about love and friendship and growing up. About not only learning to find your place in the world, but realising exactly who should be standing beside you when you do.
