The next morning Castiel had to leave before Dean woke up to go talk to his doctor.

"How are you doing today?" Asked Dr. Crojin as Cas sat down on the couch.

"Umm . . . not so good," Cas shrugged.

"Why not?" She asked.

Cas explained the story to her from when Dean had come to visit up until they went to bed.

"So did you have any nightmares last night?" Asked Dr. Crojin.

"Yeah," Said Cas. "But it was different this time. It actually started out as a good dream. Me and Dean were back together and everything was going well. But then just when everything seemed perfect Dean did it again, he broke my heart again. And he didn't just break up with me either. Afterwards he went to my dad and he gave him a gun and told him . . . he told my dad to kill him. That he'd rather die than be with me. He did it right in front of me and I tried to stop him, but then my dad pulled the trigger. And when I woke up . . ."

After a few seconds Dr. Crojin realized that he wasn't going to continue and asked, "What happened then?"

"I woke up and I kind of went to auto-pilot and asked Dean if he was awake," Cas explained. "And then when he asked if I was okay I snapped back to my senses. So I lied and said that I was fine. But he could tell that I was lying and came and sat with me. At least he didn't press when I said I didn't want to talk about it. But after that dream him sitting there comforting me really didn't help. So then he said that I didn't have to lie and he could help me deal with it and I wound up going to yell at him. But then he interrupted me by kissing me. And after I had already told him that we can't go back to the way we were until we get better. I got mad at him and he started apologizing and said that he can't be just friends with me. That he needs a relationship or nothing. So I just laid back down and he went back to his bed."

"What do you think that your dream was trying to tell you?" Asked the doctor.

"I mean it was pretty self explanatory," Cas answered. "I'm afraid that Dean's going to leave me again and that he hates me. And I want him to get help so he doesn't wind up doing something stupid . . . and I'm afraid that he didn't ever really like me."

"Well first off he came here because you asked him, now he is getting help. And after all that he's done for you it's clear that he doesn't hate you and he does like you. I mean he's having troubles with being just friends because he clearly cares about you," She told him.

"I guess so," Cas responded.

"And as for losing him again I can't guarantee that won't happen, no one can. But if you two choose to go back to nothing you're one hundred percent going to lose him for the time being. And remember that you two not talking at all is what got you guys here. I'm not saying that you should get back together with him now or that you shouldn't. I'm not saying that it's fair of him to give you only those two options. In fact I think you should get him to try and be just friends if you think that's the best choice. But think about the time you two had together the way you did before you came here. Would you rather have never had any of it happen or have lost him?" Asked Dr. Crojin.

"Lost him," Cas decided.

"So what I think that you should do at some point today is make two lists. One of reasons why you think you should get back together with him and one of why you think you shouldn't. Then compare your two lists and if any positives cancel out one of the negatives cross out both that positive and that negative. I think that this will help you make a decision," Said Dr. Crojin.

Cas nodded.


When Dean woke up that morning Cas wasn't in the other bed. He decided to go looking for him in the cafeteria, but he wasn't there.

Dean saw that there was french toast for breakfast and went to get some thinking that Cas would be so proud of him for deciding to eat of his own free will.

He was going to sit at a table by himself when a guy sitting at a table with a couple of other people asked if he wanted to sit with them.

Dean accepted and sat down.

"Hey I'm Jeremy," Said the boy who had asked him to join them. He had blonde hair and blue eyes, the cliche of good looks. "This is Miranda and Nick."

Miranda had curly brown hair and dark brown eyes. She smiled shyly at him.

Nick had black hair that was unkempt sticking out everywhere. His eyes were hazely with big bags. He didn't seem shy as he stuck out his arm and quickly shook hands with Dean.

The three of them all looked as if they were around his age.

"Why are you here?" Nick asked not so subtly.

Miranda elbowed him in the stomach.

"Sorry I don't want to be rude or anything it's just you look so normal," He quickly added.

"So do you guys," Dean said.

Dean explained his story to them and they explained theirs to him too.

After a while Dean excused himself to go check if Cas was back in the room yet.

When he entered the room Cas was laying on his bed writing something on a piece of paper.

"Where'd you go?" Asked Cas casually.

"I went to go look for you in the cafeteria. And guess what I did? I went and got food all by myself," Dean bragged with a grin similar to one a proud little kid would have after being potty trained.

Cas quickly added 'his grin' to his list.

"You seem happy today," Cas commented.

"I met some people," Dean said with a shrug. "Made some new friends."

He had added that last part so that there wouldn't be any confusion of him finding someone else.

"That's good," Cas said still looking at his paper.

"What're you writing?" Dean asked.

"Angsty poetry," Cas said sarcastically.

"You're not going to tell me are you?" Asked Dean.

"Nope," Cas responded with a smile.
