Dean walks down the dimly lit street thinking about his brother Sam who just recently went back to rehab. Heroin is a strong drug and the abuse he committed on himself caused him to become mentally unstable, hallucinating things that aren't even there. This was not the only reason Dean was walking alone at 2 am the fact that his brother wants nothing to do with him also lays heavy on his mind.

"Where the hell did I park the damn car" he said to himself

Dean spots a car at the far end of the street but the light is so dim he has to walk closer to see that it indeed it is his 1967 Chevy Impala the only property his dad passed down to him when he died. Dean hardly thinks about his dad, because his memories of his father were never kind after his mother passed away when he was four. But when he does think about his Dad it's always about the time he took Sam and him fishing. He remembers how that was the day before his dad had to leave to work at the coal mine in Kansas, having to be left with their Dads old army buddy Bobby Singer, basically Deans second father. It was such a peaceful lake and it was the only decent memory he had of his father. Now, he thinks of how disappointed his father would be in him. Dean imagines his father shouting "how could you let your brother get caught up in drugs", Dean shouts back "I never knew that this would happen". Sam had so much promise he was going to go to college; he was going to be a better man then Dean. Dean never thought Sam's girlfriend Jessica would die because Sam didn't see that damn red light. Then leaving Sam with this pain Dean didn't know how to fix. So Sam with no other choice turns to drugs to dull his pain leaving him with this huge hole where his heart should be. Dean sighs out loud causing him to see his breath because of the cold. He opens the door to his car and sits there for a moment and takes deep sigh, "when did my life become so complicated" he thinks to himself. Dean drives off to his apartment he can barley pay for on his car technician salary but hell, it's close to the rehab center at local hospital. Though it pains Dean to have to keep Sam there, he knows it's for the best, and Dean always has Sam's best interest at heart. But somewhere along the way Sam has seemed to forgotten that. Dean works from nine in the morning till six at night, he then grabs some diner out, usually burgers because that's all he can afford, and finally goes to see his brother who never wants to see him. That's where Dean was tonight waiting for his brother to finally understand that he had to take him there, but Sam seems obvious to the importance of controlling his drug addiction. When Dean walks up five cases of stairs to his shitty room with limited lighting and most likely roach infested environment he crashes on his bed that creeks so much that his neighbors down stairs very regularly bang on the ceiling with their broom to tell him to be quiet. He finally closes his eyes to rest but his neighbors who must have fucking perfect hearing bang again walking him up, Dean was pissed he hasn't had a good day and this was not helping so he goes down the stairs to room 466 and bangs on the door so loudly he wakes up half the building. The door opens to a young girl with blond pig tails and a cute smile that's missing a few teeth.

"Hello "said the little girl with a lisp

Dean a little stunned from not expecting a little girl from answering the door quietly asks for her mother or father?

"My mom is sleeping, but I can wake her if you want?"

"No, that's okay I just have…never mind I can talk to her later."

"Annie what are you doing answering the door, I told you to never do that!" Scolds her mother

"I'm sorry mom I just I didn't want to wake you up." She said with a whine

"Oh, honey that's okay mommy doesn't want anyone hurting you, and besides that mans knocking was loud enough to wake up the entire apartment building." she said with hateful glance to Dean.

Hello…dean said quietly

"I hope you have a good reason for walking me up in the middle of the night?" She said with an agitated tone but Dean wasn't paying attention to what she was saying because she looked radiant in her robe with her long blond hair shinning like gold, Dean was speechless.

"Hello sir!"

"Oh yes, I'm sorry I forgot what I was going to say, ahhh, well I was wondering if you could please stop banging your roof?"

"That's what you woke me up about banging my roof."

"Well yeah I was trying to sleep, I'm sorry if my bed springs are loud but I can't help it."

"Oh, I'm sorry I didn't mean to but my daughter is afraid of monsters so I bang the ceiling to scare them off."

"Oh, I feel like an ass now…..it's okay do whatever helps to keep her sleeping peacefully."

She looks at Dean with sympathy in her eyes, "thank you".

"My names Dean, it's nice to meet you". He said with a smile

"My name is Joanne but people call me Joe".

"It was nice to meet you Joanne" he said while shaking her hand.

"Well, it's late I hope I'll see you soon". She said with a white toothy smile

Dean looks down and half smiles "me too".

Deans sitting in the waiting room of the hospital for his brother while reading one of the car magazines, when someone taps him on his shoulder. He turns his head to see this unshaven scrawny guy with deep sea blue eyes looking at him, Dean then notices he's wearing a trench coat and the hospital issued white tunic.

"Hey sir, can you tell me where the door is, I really need to get out of this hell hole."

"Jesus" Dean says to himself is this place that bad?

"Uhhhh… Look man, I'm not going to help you escape from a place you clearly need to be in."

"Dam it!" Shouts the deranged man in front of Dean

"I really wanted to get a nice juicy burger; I haven't had one in years." He says with a look of excitement.

Dean looks at the man for about two minutes and gives in because he had this puppy dog face that his brother would give whenever he wanted something." Oh. Man I know I'm going to regret this but the exit is to left." He told the strange man

Oh thanks man, by the way nice leather jacket, oh and my name is Castiel! He said while putting his hand out. Dean then returns the gesture while saying his name, he smiles and said to Castiel to "Go get that damn burger man."

Thanks said Castiel with a wide smile while he runs off.

Two hours later he sees Castiel sedated while being carried back to the mental ward. Dean sighs I knew he wouldn't get to far. Dean doesn't know why but he has this sick feeling in his stomach, but later he figures it was because he felt sorry for the poor guy. So he tells himself that next time he comes here he will give the man his damn burger.

Later that night while opening his door to his apartment, he sees Annie out the corner of his eye.

"What are you doing here Annie?" He asked while kneeling to be eye level with the girl.

"Well I was wondering why you always look so sad when you come back from work."

"Mmh…it's nothing really my brother is just sick and I'm very worried for him."

"Oh, I hope he's okay," and then when she's about to leave she turns around with excitement in her eyes oh and my mom thinks you're cute, I heard her tell that to one of her grownup friends, then she said something about riding a horse. Which is funny because how can you ride a horse in here?

Dean laughs knowing what her mother meant. "Well any ways why are you here."

"I wanted to see where you lived."

"Oh really why?"

"I don't know I just like you, because you look like one of my ken dolls."

"Annie!" Shouts her mother "I told you don't run of on mommy, you could hurt yourself or worse I could lose you." She looks worriedly at her daughter for a moment before glancing at Dean.

"I'm sorry is she bothering you?"

"No not at all, she just wanted to know where I lived."

"I'm glad she ran into you and nobody else."

"Well, thank you for being so kind, oh and I'm glad we ran into each other again."

"Me too Dean says smitten."

"So do you want to go out and get some coffee some time?"

"Sure, how about Friday."

"Okay Friday then."

Dean has a hard time trying to convince the nurse to let him bring the burger to Castiel but when he gives his charming smile she gives in.

"Oh fine" she said, "but don't make me regret my decision."

Dean with an excited smile said "oh don't worry you won't."

The nurse takes Dean through the door where he sees this man sitting in an arm chair doing a crossword puzzle.

Nurse Meg do you know what a six letter word for spite?

"Ahhhhh, I'm not sure."

"Oh never mind I know it, its malice." He said to himself

Well, any way Castiel there's a man here to see.

"Yes I know I saw him entre with you, but I want to know is what his name is, and how I know him."

Dean steps forward putting his hand in front of Castiel with a huge goofy smile.

Castiel looks him over with a judging eye. "Well you look sane". He said

"Well yeah generally sane people put their hands out to greet people."

Castiel chuckles, "I knew I would like you."

"So… you remember me from yesterday?" Dean said with surprise.

"Yes I do, oh and thank you by the way for showing me the way out."

Dean looks at the ground for a little while with what should have been an awkward silence.

"Well any way" Dean said "I brought you this double cheeseburger from my favorite diner."

Castiel eyes light up. "Really" he said in astonishment

"Yeah, this is really stupid… I just felt bad you know."

Castiel looks up at him and says thank you with a meaningful tone, hey why don't you sit down. Dean looks to Castiel's side and sees another arm chair he then takes a seat. Castiel takes out the burger and starts to eat it. As Castiel bits into the burger he closes his eyes as if he felt a spiritual connection come over him, he then savors every bite. "Mmmh, these make me so…happy." he said with his mouth full.

Dean smirks at Castiel, and thinks to himself this guy is crazy, but a nice kind of crazy."So…Why are you in this place?" Asks Dean

Castiel laughs at himself. "Well, I'm crazy you see, I hear people and see people who aren't here, and they tell me to do these things that… hurt others." He says in a monotone voice and he looks off at a distance like he was in trance.

Dean gulps, "what kind of things did they make you do?" Dean asked with a slight stutter.

"Does it really matter what I did, I still hurt people I care about, thinking it was the best thing for them, and that's what makes me crazy Dean, so I suggest you stay fifty feet away from me, because you don't know what I'll do next." Castiel looks wild while he's talking but slowly clams down. "I'm sorry; I sometimes get worked up very easily."

Dean stares intently at him, despite Castiels best efforts he didn't scare off Dean. So after awhile of silence Dean speaks up. "You want to know what's crazy. I'll tell what's crazy me coming here every day for a brother who doesn't even want to see me, why you ask? Well it's because I forced him into this place. You see one day I came home from work and found my brother lying still on the floor of my rank apartment, and do you know why…I'll tell you why it's because he over dosed on heroin and do you know what the doctors told me, they said if I didn't walk through that fucking door when I did he would have died. So if you don't mind I think I would rather be crazy with you then feel this god damn pain that eats away at me every night." Dean stops tears almost pouring down his cheeks but he controls himself before he looks anymore crazy then he feels right now.

Castiel looks at him with tears in his eyes; "you know I think this going to be the start of a wonderful friendship."
