A Shoulder to Cry On
Dean walked down the hallway and stopped in front of the room Angela was currently staying in. He paused for a brief moment before knocking on the door gently.
"Come in," Angela called, her voice slightly muffled by the door.
Dean opened the door and walked into the room. He shut the door behind him and sat next to Angela on the bed.
"Hey, kid." Dean greeted lightly.
Angela quickly wiped her tears away. "Hey, Dean."
"You okay?" Dean asked gently.
"No." Angela shook her head, sniffling a bit. "Not at all."
"Right. Stupid question." Dean muttered. "Do you want to talk about it?"
Angela looked up at Dean, fresh tears in her eyes. "I think my marriage might be over…"
"Hey." Dean wrapped an arm around Angela's shoulder. "Don't talk like that, Angie. You guys will work through it, you always do."
"You keep saying that." Angela's voice cracked slightly. "But I don't know, Dean. All that stuff he said…"
"Yeah, I laid into him for that," Dean replied. "Do you want me to kick his ass? Because I will. He was being a dick."
"No." Angela chuckled softly. "I just…" she sighed sadly. "It might be over for us."
Dean pursed his lips. "Angie, if… if you need to go… get some space, I—I get it."
Angela's brows furrowed in confusion. "Dean, are you asking if I'm leaving?"
"Well… are you?" Dean asked quietly, almost nervously.
"No." Angela shook her head. "I'm not leaving. We're family, Dean. Plus, I would never take Gracie away from you guys."
"Even after all the crap Sam said to you… You'd stay so we could have a relationship with Gracie?" Dean raised his brows.
"Of course." Angela shrugged. "She's still Sam's daughter and your niece."
"Alright, I'm definitely kicking his ass." Dean decided. "You're too good for him."
Angela let out a laugh. "Thanks, but I'm really not."
"I disagree." Dean shrugged. "Do you want to watch a movie or something? Take your mind off of everything?"
"Yeah." Angela smiled softly. "Thanks, Dean."
"Of course, sweetheart." Dean kissed the side of her head.
