"What do you care?" Asked Nancy. "You've made your opinion of me pretty clear."

"What happened?" Dean asked ignoring her comments.

"Don't wanna talk about it," She said snarkily.

"What if I told you why I'm here?" Asked Dean. "Then would you tell me something?"

She shrugged so Dean began to tell the story from the first day of school, being sure not to say anything blaming Nancy in the story.

When he was done her jaw was open in shock, "I didn't know any of that would happen."

"I know," Dean said shocking even himself.

Cas was sitting with the group of three ignoring the conversation they were trying to have with him. Instead he was too busy staring at Dean and Nancy confused.

"So now are you going to tell me?" Asked Dean. "I won't tell anyone, I swear."

"Not even Cas?" She asked confused.

"Not even Cas," He agreed.

"Why are you being so nice to me? I thought you said we'll never be friends," Said Nancy.

"That was then. I was so busy with the problems I was having and I didn't realize that you might have problems too. I mean I wasn't exactly nice to you either. I guess we were just taking it out on each other. I didn't really mean that, even if I thought I did at the time," Again Dean was shocked by the words coming out of his mouth.

"I uh, just checked in today," Said Nancy. "I checked myself in after what happened . . ."

Dean didn't press, if she didn't want to tell him it wasn't really his business anyways. He was about to change the subject when she continued.

"I guess Cas isn't the only one with daddy issues," She said.

Dean instantly felt a look of shock cross his face, both by the fact that she had told him something and by what it was.

"Sorry," Dean said.

"I can't believe I'm actually going to tell you this, but . . . So my mom and dad are divorced and on weekends I stay at my dad's house. And so I try to have somewhere else to stay during the weekend. The reason I thrive on popularity like it's survival is because it kind of is. I've managed to avoid staying at his house for a while now, but well . . ." She looked afraid to say the next part.

"It's okay," Said Dean.

"After what your brother did Wednesday-" Nancy was cut off.

"What did Sam do?" Dean asked.

"Oh, I guess you didn't hear since you were hiding," She said looking apologetic. "He was worried about you and he freaked out at me in the cafeteria calling me a bitch and an attention whore, which I guess I kind of was . . . But anyways getting lashed out at by your brother like that made me the new laughing stock of the school. I guess they were bored of bothering you and Cas since you don't even pay attention. And you're never there at lunch or break. When my friends started ignoring me I couldn't stay anywhere so I was stuck at home with that bastard yesterday. And when he got home really late at night he was really drunk, so I knew it was going to be bad, but I wasn't going to deal with his shit anymore. I mean Cas got away from his dad right? So I was prepared for if something happened. I was sitting on the couch and when he came over and umm . . . tried something I grabbed the baseball bat I hid next to the couch and hit him over the head with it. Then I locked myself in the washroom and called the cops."

"Nancy did he . . ?" Dean asked unsure of how to word it.

"Not that time," She said looking embarrassed. "After I talked to the cops and he got arrested it was early this morning. I could have stayed with my mom, but the way she was looking at me . . . Anyways I checked myself in here."

"If I had known any of it," Dean started.

"Well you didn't, it's fine . . ." Said Nancy awkwardly. "You should go back to Cas, he looks anxious that you're over here."

"You're coming to sit with us," Said Dean. "I'm not going to leave you to sit alone. There are some really nice people and you might find it's easier making friends when you don't need to."

"I don't know," Said Nancy.

"I wasn't asking," Said Dean.

When they reached the table where Jeremy, Cas, Nick, and Miranda were already sitting Dean said, "This is Nancy, she's going to sit with us."

Cas shot him a confused look, but remained silent as Nancy sat down.

"It's nice to meet you," Said Miranda. "It would have been better under different circumstances, though. I'm glad if someone new had to come it's a girl. All the other ones are younger."

"Dean lets go get some food," Said Cas. Everyone else already had some, but Cas had been waiting for Dean. Nancy had been sitting with a plate of food when Dean had first found her, so she stayed sitting there.

"Sure," Dean said realizing that he was in trouble.

As soon as they had their food Cas stopped him from going back to the table.

"Why the hell are you acting like you're suddenly friends with her?" Asked Cas.

"Because she has problems too," Said Dean. "And she shouldn't have to deal with them alone, no one should."

"What kind of problems?" Asked Cas.

"I can't tell you," Said Dean. "But I think you should give her a second chance. Believe me if you had told me earlier today I would ever say that I would think you were crazy."

"Alright," Said Cas. "I'll play nice . . . At least for now."
