The alarm blared and I shot upwards, the alarm had startled me. I was glad I didn't have work today, but I still needed to run errands. I shook off my tired state and walked to the bathroom to take a shower. Once I was done I threw on shorts and a red t-shirt. I then dried and brushed my waist-length blonde hair. Then I applied eyeliner and mascara around my bright blue eyes. I took one last look in the mirror and rushed to the kitchen to grab a piece of toast. I put the bread in the toaster and then pulled on my worn black converse. The bread popped out of the toaster making me jump. I took it from the machine and ate it quickly. I then grabbed my purse and my phone (that I had recently bought). I walked out the door, locked it and hopped in the nice car the orphanage bought for me. And took off to the grocery store.

When I arrived at the store there were kids running around,worried parents, bored teens and tired workers. It was chaotic. Just to amuse myself I counted all the kids that were whining to their parents about an Item they wanted, Is that cruel? Whatever, who cares. I walked through the aisles while holding onto my shopping list tightly. I grabbed the things I needed and other things that I wanted. All while playing my cruel little game. Once I was done with my shopping I walked up to the busy cashier who was sweating and looked tired. But she scanned my items anyway. I handed her the money while counting my last whining kid. 32 was My finishing number. I walked out into the sea of cars and tried to find mine. Once I found it I stuffed the groceries in the trunk and drove home.

I walked up to my apartment door and fiddled with my purse looking for my key. But couldn't find it.

"Shit." I muttered to myself. Out of all the things I could forget. I fiddled with the door handle and shuttered it. With my little tantrum I kicked the door really, really hard.

"Fuck! That hurt!" I shouted.

"What was that?" Someone said. I turned to see who it was, castiel... I thought.

"Are you stalking me or something?" I said.

"You wish." Castiel said laughing.

"Whatever, What are you doing here anyway?" I asked.

"I live here." He said flatly.

"Oh, me too." I said quietly. I put my back up against the door and sat down.

"So, Why were you kicking the door?" Castiel asked.

"I left my keys inside and locked my door." I said.

"So you kicked the door? What did it ever do to you?" Castiel said while laughing.

"I was angry okay!" I said defensively.

"I know I could tell." He said.

"If your just going to sit here and insult me then get lost!" I shouted. I pulled my knees up to my chest and set my head down.

Just when I thought things were going good, now the food is going to spoil and I don't have a place to sleep tonight! I thought

"Hey ashlyn, I-Im sorry, I thought you could use a laugh. You can stay at my place If you want." Castiel said slowly.

"I barely even know you!" I said.

"I can't just let you sleep outside." He said.

"Since when are you a gentlemen?" I asked.

"Im in a good mood today." He said.

"You? In a good mood?" I asked

"On the rare occasion." Castiel said while holding his hand out to me. I took It and stood up.

"Thank you." I said.

"It's Fine." Castiel said

He walked to the door next to mine while I picked up the groceries on the ground. I walked inside his apartment. It was much bigger than mine. It was very nice. I set the groceries on what I assumed was the kitchen counter.

"Im going to go see If my balcony is unlocked." I said while rushing over to his back door.

"Okay." Castiel responded.

I opened the sliding door and grabbed onto the railing of his balcony. I threw my leg over, then the other and stood on the railing. I jumped over the space between mine and his and crashed onto the concrete ground. It hurt but I got up anyway. I tried to open the door but It was also locked. I groaned. I got on top of my railing and jumped back to the other side. But this time I landed it Castiels arms standing upright. Still shocked, I backed away and tripped on the edge of the railing. My hand was grabbed just after my feet lifted off the ground. And I was pulled back onto the ground.

"Thank you." I said.

"Don't mention it, It take it that the back door is also locked."

"Yea, Im sorry." I said.

"Don't be, It happens to everyone at some point." Castiel said.

"Thanks Again, It really means a lot." I said.

"Like I said, Don't mention it." Castiel said. Thats when I realized we were still very close to eachother. I quickly backed away.

"Uhh, I'm gonna put the groceries away so they don't go bad." I said nervously.

I left castiel on the balcony and walked to the kitchen. I put away the groceries while singing a tune that was stuck in my head. Once I was done I saw a guitar over in the corner and walked over to play the tune. I picked up the red guitar and strummed the chords while singing.

Living in a world so cold, wasting away.

Where have you been? Oh how Ive missed you.

Ive been counting the days since you've been gone.

Please don't leave again, I don't know If I can take it.

But again promises are meant to be broken.

Now I'm left behind.

And now I'm losing my mind.

I begged you to stay.

For my own sanity.

Look where I am now.

Sad and lost with nowhere to turn.

Please come back.

I need you here.

I know you'll leave again.

But temporary happiness is better than nothing.

So please come back, the cold is getting harder and harder to bear.

Please come home.

I strummed the last chord and was pleased with what I had come up with but It needed work.

"Whos that about?" Castiel said.

"Castiel! I thought you were outside." I said.

"I was, Until I heard you singing. You are really good. Maybe even better than Lysander." Castiel said.

"Really? Who is that?" I asked

"Do you remember the guy with me at the store the first time we met?" Castiel asked. I nodded.

"Thats him. Hes the singer of the band I'm in." Castiel explained.

"Oh cool." I said flatly.

"But seriously who is that about?" Castiel asked.

"Look, there are some things I can't tell you yet. I just met you. Im sorry." I said.

"Its Fine, Everyone has their secrets Ashlyn, Some are bigger than others.
