TALES FROM ANOTHER BROKEN HOME
CHAPTER ONE: WELCOME TO MY LIFE…
Castiel's Home
Castiel looks at the clock. Five…four…three…two…one…
"LUCIFER, GET DOWN THESE STAIRS!"
Castiel's eyes close as he hears his brother's footsteps, the door to his father's study slamming shut before shouting emerges from within. His brother, Gabriel puts a comforting hand on his back and the only thing Castiel can do is turn and hug the older boy, crying silently into his shoulder. Then the sound of a belt meeting skin comes from the study and Castiel sobs aloud. Lucifer is heard laughing as the belt whips him and Castiel just wants to be rid of it all, as does Gabriel.
"Hush now, Castiel." Gabriel whispers, "I'll get us out of here, I promise…we won't have long to wait, little bro, you'll see."
Castiel can only nod against Gabriel's shoulder before the older boy grabs his car keys.
"Come on, let's go for a drive."
Castiel nods and wipes his eyes while he and his brother go out for an hour, dreading returning home.
Dean's Home
"You're just like your mother." John whispers as he snakes an arm around Dean's front.
Dean's stomach churns as his father runs a hand further down and all the boy can do is pray. He can only pray that John doesn't want that today, he can only pray that Sam doesn't walk in and find them like this, and he can only pray that Castiel's having a better day than he is. Tears roll down Dean's cheeks as John continues to whisper in his ear.
"You will do as I say or you and Sam are on the street, and little Sammy would be an easy target on the streets right?"
Dean feels his zipper being unfastened and he can barely breathe. That's the only reason he lets John do this. All for Sammy, so Sammy has a roof over his head, clothes, food, shelter, warmth, comfort and safety.
Suddenly he's being zipped back up and John lets him go.
"I'll see you tonight, Dean."
John walks away and Dean falls to his knees, breaking into silent sobs before wrapping his arms around himself, putting those safety walls back up he craved and loved. He and Sam had to get out of here…somehow…some way…they had to get out of here.
