Chapter two.

I forgot to mention the song that inspired this story is Home: Paradise Fears.

P.S In all honesty, I have no idea what day I posted the last chapter and I'm not sure if I posted these on the same days or what. I've had a ruff couple of days and times just kinda blurring together.

But I promise that won't disrupt my writing.. unless Nathaniel Aka my laptop decides to go comatose again.

I looked at my self in the mirror again and sighed. Its been a week, and the hair dye wasn't washing out. Maybe it stained my hair or something, am I going to be stuck with this forever.

"Cas.. You OK in there," Dean yelled from outside the door.

I pushed off the sink and opened the door to stare at him, "No. Its not washing out," I said through grit teeth.

Dean gave me an 'I told you so' Look and pushed past me and closed the door, leaving me standing in an empty and dark hallway. I huffed and went back to our room, plopping down in the computer chair. Mary had given us a laptop for Christmas and John got the desk.

After a few hours of searching hair dye removal I gave up and just checked my email. Scrolling down through messages from Meg, which could wait until I saw her at school tomorrow. Spam mail and an ad for superglue. I kept scrolling through today's until I stopped. It had to be a mistake, no way that's what I think it is.

My mouse hovered over it for a few seconds until I clicked it.

Gabriel Novak

Hey little bro, its been a long time. I haven't seen you since you were.. 10.

Anyway I figured enough is enough and I can't keep you in the dark forever. So your what 16 now, I tried looking for you in foster care but I'm guessing you got adopted or something I don't really know, but on the bright side you still have the same email..

So I'm 19 now and I have my own place and was just wondering if maybe you'd like to meet somewhere. Transportation isn't a problem I could meet you on the moon if you wanted, but I just wanna talk.

So if you could email me back that would be great.

I gulped and closed down he page an the laptop. Leaning back in my chair I ran my hands through my hair, which wasn't the biggest problem in my life anymore.

How could he do that, just check out for 6 years and not come back. Why just now is he trying to make contact, I've had the same friggin email my whole life just like he said. So many thoughts ran through my head, why. What was I going to do, do I meet him. What would I tell mom and dad.. or Dean. Dean is going to freak out, from what I've told him of Gabe he didn't have a very good mental image of him, many didn't. Mom and dad wouldn't want me to see him, Dean would forbid it. So basically I'm on my own about this.

"Hey Cas," Sam greeted coming in the room. "Whats wrong," He asked noticing my reaction.

I had no idea what I looked like but I must have looked surprised. "Nothing, just read a sorta disturbing email that's all," I shrugged. Disturbing was an understatement.

"Musta been bad, you look like you've seen a ghost," He laughed.

"No kidding," I mumbled under my breath. I stood up and sent Sam a smile before heading down stairs. I had no idea what to do and no idea who to talk to. I didn't want another situation like with Micheal, since technically Gabriel could file for custody. He wouldn't win though, a 19 year old filing custody for an already adopted 16 year old, no smart judge would go for it. Either way i didn't want all the trouble again.

Down stairs I plopped down on the couch next to Dean and earned a glare from him.

"Watch it," He mumbled turning his attention back to the screen.

"Sorry. I have something to ask you," This was a bad idea, Dean was known to react badly on these types of things.

"Shoot," He replied.

"Why are you mad at Micheal," I asked bluntly. I knew Dean was still angry, he was just trying to hide it, to try and figure things out.

"Wow.. no warning.. no anything," he laughed.

"We'll," I pushed.

"Why do you even care," He wondered dodging the subject.

"I'm just wondering, He left you when you were young and you had to grow up all by yourself. You'd be mad right?"

"Of course I am. I'm trying to get over it, but every time he tries to do something with me or help with something it just makes me think about how he could have done that with us before," He said quietly.

I nodded, I was mad at Gabriel because he disappeared. I understood why we couldn't be in the same foster home, I knew why we couldn't see each other often. What I didn't under stand was why he just jumped off the face of the earth. Why he just left.

"Why are you asking all this," He wondered, concern growing on his face.

"I was just thinking, about Gabriel," I said hesitantly.

Dean nodded, "Why are you thinking about him all the sudden," He wondered.

"Just, nothing. Just wondering about him I guess," I said trying to get off the subject. I wanted to tell him but I have no idea what he'd do, Worst case scenario he told John and Mary, or tracked down Gabe himself, I wouldn't put it past him.

"You sure your OK," he asked again. I guess I gave him reason to worry, He always said I kinda scared him.

"Yeah, I'm sure, just trying to figure somethings out," With that I stood up, not wanting him to pry anymore.

I was going to wait until I thought about it more before I email him back, If I do at all. I hadn't seen him since I was ten, after that it was just email and phone conversations, Until he turned about 15 and they just stopped. I thought he was dead or in jail, until I had to just put it out of my mind completely. The same year He left I met Dean, and he took Gabriel's place as my brother. I even gained Sam in the process, along with two parents.

I knew one thing for sure. I was mad, and I wasn't going to just let this one bounce off.

So guys I already have this story planned out but if you have any suggestions PM me or leave a review. What do you think about Gabriel coming back.
