Chapter 8- Teaching:

Charlie:

When I got to the hotel room I wasn't happy to get a lecture from a drunken Dean and a disapproving frown from Sam. Damn, those two really are my big brothers. I am glad Sam didn't tell Dean exactly what position Castiel and I were in when he found us. If Dean was pissed now, oh boy.

The thing is, if any other guy had touched me or kissed me- then he would get a one-way trip to Hell VIA my fist. But with Castiel…he was different. I could still feel his lips on mine and I just…it was different. It was nice. It was…lovely. I wanted to feel it again. He was…special. I just didn't know what it was about him. Though, it was bothering me- this butterfly fluttering in my stomach.

The next day, I still wasn't feeling too well, but I still went to school. I ignored Sam- even if he said he wanted to tell me something important. I wasn't up to hearing his lectures again. I was still 'grounded.' So I guess that means that at school today I would have to ask Rosa-…wait…Sam said to stay with a friend…Rosa is good friend's with Lysander and Castiel…so…I shook my head- what am I thinking.

I decided to walk to school- didn't want a lecturing, mean Dean. I didn't see Castiel- that was weird since we usually took the same route to class. I put a hand on my stomach at the sudden odd nausea I was still feeling from the other day. I ignored it and headed to school. When I got there I was met by Rosa who kept giving me these looks. I sighed,
"What?"

She smiled,
"I heard someone kissed Castiel."

My eyes widened and she giggled,
"Don't worry, Charlie. No one else knows expect for me, Castiel, Leigh, and Lysander. You have nothing to fret!"

"Rosa," I said a bit nervously, "Can I stay with you for a few days?"
She raised an eyebrow and I explained,
"My brothers were the ones to find me kissing Castiel and didn't end pretty. But…I need a place to stay for a while."
She nodded sadly,
"Sure, but…I'm staying with Leigh. I am sure he won't mind though!"

When I headed to first hour I was surprised that the normal teacher wasn't there and that Castiel wasn't there either. I took my normal seat- which usually Castiel was beside me. I kind of felt lonely, and in a way- insulted. Was he repulsed by what we did or something? Was that why he wasn't at school?

Rosa looked at me from her seat, smiled, and then headed towards the back of the classroom. She sat beside me.
"Don't worry," she whispered, "Castiel isn't gone because of you."

I scoffed and crossed my arms. Rosa shrugged,
"I called Leigh- and you're welcome to stay with us."
"Wait…isn't Leigh Lysander's brother," I asked.

"But of course- couldn't you tell?"
Great. Now, I would be stuck in a house full of the two guys who knew I was a hunter and Rosa…and maybe Castiel. Hmm…now that was in interesting idea. I shook my head- damn it. I am a hunter. I don't need something as….petty as love. We can't fall in love. It's dangerous. After all, look at what happened to Sam when he fell in love…

I sighed, but…someone once told me that history may repeat itself, but that doesn't it always will. In other words, even if that happened to Sam and John Winchester, doesn't mean it would happen to me. I smiled slightly.

Suddenly, the door opened and my jaw dropped.

"Good morning," Sam said, "I'm your new substitute teacher, Mr. Venn."
"Venn…do you know him?" Rosa whispered as I banged my head on the table,

"Wish I didn't…he's my older brother."

During my lunch break, I went back to the first hour classroom to Sam.
"What the hell are you doing," I asked.

Sam closed his book,
"Simple. Watching you and doing the job!"

"What the hell does that mean!?"
"We haven't found anything, Charlie! There have been even more deaths and we haven't done a damn thing expect find some ghosts!"

"Hot damn Sam! It ain't my fault the witches decide to take a sudden vacation!"

I left without another word, but I felt sick. I gasped for breath.
"Are you okay?"

I looked and saw Rosa. I smiled faintly as I tried to stand straight,
"Yeah…I'm…I'm fine."

I suddenly felt pretty…faint….ohh…look at the pretty stars….

When I woke up from passing out, I was in a hospital bed. Rosa, Leigh, and Lysander were there. Rosa looked at me concerned,

"Are you okay, Charlie?"

I shook my head,
"Uhh…I think. What happened?"
"You fainted and after the doctor looked you over he said something about signs of hypothermia?"

"Well," I coughed, "I did fall into a pool the other night…from the second story window."

That raised a few eyebrows. I looked down and freaked out,
"Why am I in a gown and where the hell is my jacket?"

Lys tsk'ed at my language but pointed to the chair,
"No one has looked through it," he said- knowing that I was concerned about anyone finding my weapons.

I sighed in relief that no one did look through my jacket. I coughed.

"Your brother stopped by," Leigh said, "They were not very happy."
"I can imagine."
"They do worry though."
"What?"
"Your brother…Dean, I believe," Leigh said, "nearly threatened the doctors if they didn't help. He said that Sammy couldn't make it…something about...an emergency?"

I sighed, I knew that they were on a hunt. I just hope they were okay.
"Well, let's blow this joint."

I started to get up only to be pushed back down by Rosa,

"Uh-huh, you are not going anywhere!"
"Why not," I whined.
"Doctor's orders."

I pouted slightly and Lys looked at me slightly amused. Rosa smiled,
"Tell you what, you stay here while Leigh and I go get some dinner!"
I pouted even more and she rolled her eyes,

"Yes, we'll bring you something."
I smiled. Leigh and her left, leaving me alone with Lysander.
"I assume," he said, "That you had a good reason to jump out of a second story window and into a pool…in the winter nonetheless?"
"…Dean and Sam wouldn't let me on a hunt."

He raised and eyebrow. I flustered,
"Come on, you know we're hunters! We just…it's dangerous to go alone."

He sighed,

"Very well. Though, do you mind explained why you kissed Castiel?"
I blushed,
"…He kissed me, actually."

He sighed. He took the seat closest to me. I was a bit uncomfortable as he grabbed both my hands and his face was close to mine.
"Charlie…I know you do mean well, but please…Castiel is…he went through something bad….Do not play with him or his emotions. I ask that as his best friend."

I smiled,

"Trust me, I don't plan on hurting him."

He smiled…then the door opened.

"Charlie!"

Castiel was in the door way. He looked at me concerned, but as soon as he saw how close Lys and I were, he looked a bit pissed. He shoved Lysander away,

"Bastard!"

Lysander looked…mad, but still kept his cool- coodoes to him. Lysander calmly got up and looked at Castiel,
"Before you let anger cloud you- listen. I will be waiting outside," and then he calmly walked out.

Castiel looked at me with a mix of concern and anger.

"It wasn't what it looked like," I said, "Lysander was just…warning me…about you."

His eyes narrowed and I sighed,
"Rather…he told me not to hurt you since you're his best friend…and I told him I would never dream of it."
Castiel's expression showed concern. He looked…sad. He had tears…he was crying.
"Castiel," I said gently.
"Char…..Rosa called me and said you were in the hospital…and…I thought I lost you…"

I smirked,
"Gonna take more than a simple faint spell to take me down."

"Char," Castiel said strictly and I frowned as he continued, "I…I really do care about you. I…"

I shut him up by kissing him,
"I know, Cas…I know…and…I really like you too."

He smirked,

"So…will you join me for a date?"
I laughed,
"'Course, Cherry top, you can take me out on a date anytime. Though..."

He looked at me concerned,
"What?"
"I…I am not really good on dates."
He smirked with a wink,
"Don't worry, I'll teach you."
