Chapter 28:
Dean arrived home holding grocery bags.
"Cas!" Dean yelled, but no answer.
Sam walked into the room and unpacked the bags.
"Yo, Cas!" Dean yelled, but the answer was silence. "Castiel!"
Dean panicked.
"When was the last time you saw him?" Dean asked Sam.
"He came in about 15 minutes ago," Sam replied, and saw the look on Dean's face.
Dean ran to his and Cas' room, seeing nothing, but a note on his bed.
Dean starred at the note, not wanting to see what it said. He picked up the note and held it in his hand.
"Dean?" Sam asked walking into his room.
Dean looked at his brother, then at the note.
Dean opened it.
Dear Dean,
I don't want you to get hurt. It will come if I stay here. I can't see you get hurt again. I told you I knew what had to be done and I would do whatever it takes to finish it, it was protecting you. I left to protect you. Tell Sam and Kevin goodbye for me.
Love,
Castiel
P.S. I love you, Dean Winchester.
Dean read the note and gave it to Sam. He sat on his bed and starred at the floor.
"Dean?" Sam asked after finishing the note.
Dean laid down on his bed and closed his eyes.
Dean fell asleep, and Sam starred at his brother.
Sam left the room, after pulling a blanket over Dean.
When Dean woke up, he remembered everything, it was his first thought, and all he could do was stay in bed and think of other things.
It was later in the day, Dean could tell.
He got up, walked out of his room, and down the hall till he saw Sam.
"You alright, Dean?" Sam asked and Kevin walked into the library.
Dean didn't say anything, but shook his head.
"Come on, Dean," Sam said. "You have to speak."
Dean just looked at him and went to the kitchen. He got pie out of the fridge, then remembered Cas eating his first bite of pie, and put it back.
Dean walked back to his room and stopped, remembering ever more of Castiel, and walked outside to the Impala, but memories came rush back, and he made his way towards the woods.
He walked deep into the forest, deeper than he had ever gone, thinking to himself, trying to avoid the memories of Castiel, completely failing to do so.
"YOU BASTARD!" Dean yelled into the trees.
Dean sunk to the ground and tears cascaded down his face.
