Chapter 3: And So It Goes
They walked up the stairs quickly, Max and Kevin leading the way. When they got to to the top of the stairs it let out into a hallway with a bunch of doors, another hallway led off to the side of the stairs to only one door.
"Well first off there's nine doors, nine rooms. Two of which are bathrooms. There's a third bathroom downstairs that goes off from the library but we'll go over downstairs later. The rest are rooms, you two just took our last one." Max said leaning on the wall across from the stairs.
" That room, down these first hallway is the noisiest. Its Jack's, Alfie's and Cas's room."
" Technically Cas has his own apartment, that's just where he sleeps when he's here." Kevin butted in. Max sent him a quick glare before focusing his attention back on the boys.
" Yes Kevin that is true." Max paused and looked at Sam's raised hand, confused himself, he awkwardly pointed at the new kid.
" Um how is it that these Cas is in the system but lives in an apartment?" Sam spoke up.
" It's because he's not in the system."
" What Kevin means is that Castiel is aged out. He owes a lot to Jody so after he got out of the system he became something of a co-parent around here." Max shrugged it off like it was no big thing but Dean could see there was more to it.
" Please, Castiel only helps out because about 28% of the kids here are blood related." 'There it is' Dean thought to himself.
" Yes Kevin, Cas does have sibling hear, but you should know by now that he sees us all like family, blood or not." Dean liked the sediment but he lacked any faith in it. He also thought it be good to know who was all related.
" But who all is related here?" Max looked back at Dean a bit confused.
" Well Alfie, Hael, Anne and Cas are all sibling, at least they have the same dad. Jacks there nephew. Then there's Alicia and I. But that's it bloodwise."
" Don't forget about Gabriel, he's the freeloader i was talking about. He's only sixteen and he's already drinking beer and doing drugs and he's even had. . . S-E-X . . . with a prostitute too." Kevin ended his little rant quietly. Dean smirked at the kids innocence.
" Where did you hear that?" Max asked dumbfound.
" Charlie told me." Max let out an exasperated sigh , running his hand down his face. Sam thought it was ironic, how Kevin did not consider these people family when they sure acted liked one.
" *sigh* Just… whatever. Let's just finish these and I can go back to watching magic mike." Max walked off , not even bothering to see if the rest followed.
" Across from Cas's, Jack's and Alfie's room is Hael's and Anna's. Their both pretty quiet, but it smells like a perfume shop. Next to their room is Meg's and Charlie's room, it might look like there satanist but don't worry. It's just Meg. Further down the hall the we go is mine and Alicia's room on right and-"
" Hay tour guide be a little quieter, some of us are studying." Alicia voice was heard once again, but these time more agitated. Max rolled his eyes and continued on.
" And on your left is Alex's and Claire's. Alex is pretty normal, Claire however is going through these rebel phase so expect loud music and angst from her." At Alex's and Claire's room they came at a crossroad. Each hallway ending with one door. Max pointed left of them.
" That's mine and Garth's room." Kevin spoke up. After that they walked down the hallway that was across from Alex's and Claire's room.
" And these is your guys room. That will be the end of the tour for now, i'll let you guys settle in. Will show you down stairs after dinner." Kevin seemed like he wanted to protest but Max grabbed him by the caller and pulled im out. Dean and Sam looked around there spacious room, with two beds,two dresser and one window. Talk about home sweet home.
