They arrived at Fritz Railroad slightly after three thirty, being as it was a Tuesday there weren't a lot of people so they were seated right away. A waiter came over very fast with menus.

Jo looked at the young mans name tag then looked up at him with her bright brown eyes. "Hi Garth! We don't need menus, we already know what we want."

"I don't." Sam said.

"Arrrrrg! Sam!" She said rolling her eyes. "Fine we'll take one menu but we know what we want."

Dean narrowed his eyes at the blond, he was trying not to smirk. "I order for you, you order for me?"

"What else would we do?" Jo said as if it was obvious. She then looked at the waiter again. "He'll have a bacon cheese burger, with double steak fries, a chocolate milkshake with extra whip cream and two cherries."

"I hate cherries." Dean said.

Jo smirked. "I know but I love them."

Dean rolled his eyes. "Ok Garth, she'll have six chicken fingers with ranch, blue cheese, and honey mustard. Onion rings instead of fries and a vanilla bean milkshake with no whip cream and two cherries."

Garth looked over to Sam. "And you sir?"

"I'll have the grilled chicken salad with a Sprite."

"Is Sierra Mist ok?"

"I'll take a coke instead."

"Ok that'll be out soon."

"Wait!" Dean said as he started to leave. "We have one more order."

"Ok. And what's that?" The waiter questioned.

"The last order is a Poor Dan Senior, but with no mustard, a small chili, and a hot chocolate."

"Ok great. That'll be out soon." Ash said as he turned to walk back to the kitchen.

"Hot chocolate? In June?" She questioned.

"Castiel is a little weird like that." He answered.

Jo nodded then proceeded to ask, "so did I get your order right? You got mine perfect."

"Besides from the two cherries." Dean couldn't help but laugh. "You got my order perfect."

"Really?" The blond perked up. "I thought after all this time you would have changed it up a little."

"Nope, just like my cars I like my meals to be a classic." Dean stood up. "I'll be back. Gotta take a leak."

Jo grinned at Sam as Dean walked away. "You're brother is just so charming." She said sarcastically.

Sam rolled his eyes. "Tell me about it."

Sam and Jo had polite, or as close as you can get to polite with Jo, conversation. After about ten minutes Sam decided he should go check on Dean. He wanted to make sure Dean wasn't in there panicking about winning Cas back.

While both the Winchester brothers were gone Jo saw a dark haired guy come in with the bluest eyes she'd ever seen. She knew that had to be Castiel because he just screamed Dean's type. Jo smiled and walked up to him.

"Hi Castiel!" She greeted him with a huge smile as if he was an old friend he hadn't seen in a while. She took his hand and led him to the table. "We spoke on the phone. I'm Joanna Beth but everyone just calls me Jo. Sam and Dean are just washing up, they should be out soon."

Castiel smiled politely. "Hello Joanna Beth, as you know I am Castiel. If you don't mind me asking how did you know who I was?"

"You just screamed Dean's type. And please call me Jo."

"I'm sorry I just don't like nicknames, if you don't mind I'll just call you Joanna Beth."

Jo was trying not to glare at Castiel. She hated when people called her by her full name. She wanted to say something but she knew Dean would hate her if she actually did ruin his relationship, so she just ignored it. "So Castiel, I'm sure you have some questions. Go ahead and ask away."

May 11, 2014 3:46 pm

Sam: Dean's freaking out in here. Text me when Cas gets here.

Jo: He's already here and calling me Joanna Beth.

Sam: Jo don't…

Jo: I'm not correcting him. Just get out here ASAP!

Sam: I'm trying. Gotta wait till Dean's relaxes some. Should be out within five minutes...hopefully.

Jo smiled fakely at Castiel. "Sorry." She said putting her phone away. "Just wanted to tell my dad I made it in."

Castiel nodded politely. "Yes well, I only have two questions. Well Joanna Beth I was wondering if after you and Dean...you know…" He lowered his voice on this last part and Jo cut him off.

"If after Dean and I had sex?"

Castiel nodded. "Yes, well, after that did you feel like a one night stand?"

Jo tried really hard not to snort at this question. "Dude! Dean was, is, my best friend. Him and I, we could never be a one night stand. Hell, I saw him the next day! Him, Sam, and I came here for milkshakes." Jo smiled at that memory, it had been one of the few times she'd gotten a different flavor than villina.

Castiel took a minute to let this all soak in. After a minute he asked his next question, "Why did you leave Lawrance?"

"I was getting in too much trouble." Jo lied like she always did when someone asked her that question. She sighed of relief when she saw Sam and Dean finally coming out of the bathroom. She also smiled when she saw that they had went up to the counter and got their food.

"Yes but what was the last straw? Did your mother make you leave because you slept with Dean?"

Dean saw the small panic on Jo's face as he approached the table. He only heard the end of the question but he didn't need to hear all of it to know what Cas had asked. He decided to be Jo's night and shining armor and save her from the question. Dean leaned down and gave the dark haired male a kiss on the check, just a small peck. "Hey Cas."

"He doesn't like nicknames." Jo said before she could think. This earned her a glare from both Sam and Dean, Cas merely smirked.

"You listen, I like that." Castiel said. "Dean is the only person that calls me Cas because he came up with the name and it just kind of stuck for him and I."

Sam had just finished passing out the food when Cas said, "Oh i'm sorry I can't stay and eat. I just wanted to meet Jo…"

"What?!" Dean tried not yelling. "I thought you wanted to try and work things out."

Castiel turned away. He couldn't face Dean's beautiful green eyes. "I had to meet her. I needed to hear it from her to."

"Hear what?" Jo and Dean asked at the same time.

"That this wasn't some random girl you just meet. I needed to understand more about the relationship you two had before it happened."

"We were best friends! What does that have to do with anything?" Dean asked angrily.

There were tears in Castiel's eyes. "Everything. You two were best friends, until you slept together?"

"Kind of." Jo sighed.

"It's complicated." Dean answered looking sad.

"Not for me." Cas said honestly. "You two were best friends but you never told me about here once! I don't want to end up the same. I...I have to end this before the same happens to me."

"Castiel please!" Dean said with tears in his eyes. "That could never happen to us! I was young, I love you!"

"Goodbye Dean." Castiel was walking out with tears streaming down his face too. "Bye Sam. Joanna Beth."

"Listen you piece of shit!" Jo was angry. "Nobody calls me Joanna Beth and nobody treats my best friend that way! I don't give a fuck if he never told you about me! We slept together, it changed a hell of a lot between! It was my fault he wanted to forget, he doesn't talk about me with anyone!"

Castiel was full out crying now and running towards his bike. Sam wanted to stay with his brother but he also didn't want Cas driving back in this state so he followed Castiel out. The few people that were in the restaurant were turning around to look at all the commotion. Jo glared at those people and waved her arms to tell them to turn around.

May 11, 2014 4:01 pm

Sam: I'm sorry to just leave like that. It's just Castiel is no shape to be driving home. Are you ok with Dean?

Jo: It's fine, I understand. Do you have Dean's keys?

Sam: There in my jacket pocket. My jackets on the chair.

Jo: K. I'll see you when I see you.

Sam: Bye, see you back at the house.


Jo turned around just in time to see Dean finish all his food and move on to eating Castiel's food. She could have told him eating all that wasn't healthy but she let him eat. She ate her food, plus she ate her cherry, and Dean's cherry. They sat in silence and ate until all that was left was Sam's salad, which neither of them wanted.

"I'm sorry Dean." Jo said quietly taking his hand.

Dean took a very shaky breath. "I love him."

"I know and Dean i'm sorry. I know nows not the time but…"

Dean cut her off. "I know, I know. We need to get a better story."

"He wanted specifics on why."

Dean was an emotionless mask. "I know, just lie. Say you stole something, just please don't tell them you left because of the kid. How is Ben anyway?"

Jo looked at him with sad eyes. "He asks about his father a lot. He wants to know why I'm so young and why all the other kids in his class have dads."

Tears started rolling down his cheek again. "I'm sorry Jo. Everything is my fault."

"No. No." Jo said in a soothing voice. "None of this is your fault. If anythings it's my fault. Maybe if I'd said something else…"

"NO DAMN IT! You didn't do ANYTHING! Castiel came in here with his mind already made up."

People were starting to stare again. Jo didn't really care until Garth asked them to pay and leave. She could have put up a fight but she decided not to, she simply paid and lead Dean to his car. He didn't put up much of a fight when Jo got into the driver's seat.

When she glanced at the phone she was shocked to see it was already past five. She was also shocked to see a message from her mom and John.

May 11, 2014 4:36 pm

John: Hi Joey, I heard about Dean and Cas...again. How's he doing?

May 11, 2014 5:02 pm

Jo: Hey John, Dean's a wreck. I haven't seen him cry like this since...well Mary.

John: That bad?

Jo: Yeah.

John: If your mother found out I was about to say this...look, use fake id's I don't care. Get him drunk, get him high, do something to get his mind off things.

Jo: I have your permission to do bad?

John: Don't tell you mother.

Jo: K, I'll have him home...when I do…

John: Fine.

She smirked thinking of all the possibilities, maybe they could get matching tattoo's. She was excited, until she remembered the message from her mother.

May 11, 2014 4:42 pm

Mom: Hi Jo! John told me you made it in safe. John and I have a date but I should be home by eleven. You don't have to be home by then but I would like to see you before I go to bed. So if you can be home by like one that would be great.

May 11, 2014 5:07 pm

Jo: Will do. See you by one.

Mom: Ok. Be safe. I love you. :-)

Jo: :-) I love you too mommy! :-)


So I have to return my school laptop on Monday and my own laptop doesn't always work. Unless someone sells their soul (I would sell mine but I already did...) my updating may be spotty. If my laptop works I plan on updating Friday (maybe sooner depending on how dead I am after finals). Any please comment and review your thoughts about the story so far.
