Castiel grumbled as he heard the noises of someone moving about. He could hear the clinking of glasses and utensils along with hushed whispers.
"Mr. Harold" Castiel mumbled. The noise didn't stop. "Mr. Harold!" Castiel shot up and then looked around. He wasn't in his mansion. He was at his girlfriend's house and the noise outside was probably from them eating breakfast.
He stood and then opened the door. Irene was the first one to notice him and waved him over pointing to a seat. He sat down and she served him eggs with fish and bacon.
"Did you sleep well?" Irene asked.
"Yeah, like a log" Castiel replied glancing over at Snadra who seemed to be smirking.
"Castiel, why don't you stay with us forever? This is the first time we're eating breakfast like this" Will said.
Bob chuckled and then asked for more bacon. Castiel smiled and then began eating.
Cecelia sighed as her mother, Anlina seated herself on the dining room chair. She was dressed in a beautiful green business dress and her makeup was done to perfection. It was clear that there was animosity between mother and daughter since both of them didn't even bother to wish each other a good morning.
"Where is Castiel?" Anlina asked. The butler fumbled for an answer but Cecelia shot him a look.
"He is still asleep" Cecelia replied.
"Please bring him down" Anlina requested to the butler.
"Leave him alone" Cecelia said immediately.
"He was out late with his friends from the F4" Mr. Harold said.
"I can't believe he is still playing around with those kids at this age" Anline sighed.
"What's wrong with those kids?" Cecelia asked. "Don't you know how fortunate it is that Castiel has friends like them?"
"The heir of Amoris Group shouldn't have and doesn't need friends" Anlina replied.
"Mom"
"Considering his high status, no one is good enough to reach his level and he had to learn to be cold hearted to turn his back on his family if need be. Have you still not understood that?"
"If I were him, I'd rather remain asleep than try to understand that" Cecelia replied.
"There is only a few times a year that we get to have breakfast together like this"
"And is that our fault?" Cecelia asked, unable to keep tha pain out of her voice.
"Bring him down here" Anline requested again to Mr. Harold.
Mr. Harold glanced at Cecelia and did not move.
"Never mind. I'll get him myself" Anlina stood and walked elegantly out of the room. She headed up the stairs and down the long hallway until she got to the double doors at the end of the hallway. She pulled them open and then discovered the well made bed. Castiel had not slept in this bed at all.
"Where is he?" Anlina asked. The butler did not reply.
"I am asking you why my son is not in this room!"
"All this fish?" Castiel asked in surprise.
"We store them since winter is coming up" Bob explained.
"Is that all you eat? That smells really bad" Castiel covered his nose.
"We all love fish to death. So we'll clean then first and then gut them and then store them. I'll even show you how I make my fish. So let's start!" Irene said.
Castiel watched in interest as Bob and Will cleaned the fish and then handed them one by one for Sandra and Irene to gut them. He nearly barfed when they tossed the insides of the fish right in the garbage without a problem.
"Do you want to try?" Sandra asked holding out the fish guts. Castiel turned pale.
Later on, Bob took them all to McDonalds which Castiel was very excited for. He had heard about fast food but he had never really been there. It was so amazing that Castiel had three burgers with fries and chicken nuggets too. He didn't think there was a day he had laughed and smiled so much in his life.
"Is something wrong with him?" Nathaniel asked.
"Did he eat something rotten at Sandra's house?" Dake asked.
Castiel was smiling like an idiot the entire time they had been in the F4 lounge.
"Castiel, did you really go to Sandra's house yesterday?" Nathaniel asked.
"You guys, have you ever cleaned fish before?" Castiel glanced up at them.
"What?" Dake was confused.
"Have you ever gutted them? Have you ever marinated and eaten them? Have you ever had fast food in your life or had no dinner because you didn't have enough money for a meal?"
Both blondes shook their heads.
"You guys really don't know what life is about" Castiel walked out of the lounge.
"I liked him better when he used to mess up his proverbs" Nathaniel commented.
"I'm more scared of Sandra Ryancrest than a tiger" Dake commented.
"I didn't think you'd be here again in this freezing weather. There seems to be a lot bothering you these days" Lysander said as he waved Sandra over.
"I like to practice" Sandra replied.
"Is it because of Castiel?"
Sandra sneezed and then began coughing. Lysander took off his hat and put it on her head. Then he took off his scarf and wrapped his around her neck.
"This is really warm" Sandra giggled.
"Don't avoid him, Sandra" Lysander said suddenly.
"Lysander, I..."
"Who was the one who said its cowardly to avoid problems? Give him a chance"
"Honestly, it feels like I'm a burden being dragged around in Castiel's world" Sandra said.
"Castiel's world. Sandra's world. There's no such thing. Just like the way you and I are in the same world right now. It's nothing different. If you don't like his world, you can drag him into yours" Lysander said.
Sandra nodded and then rushed off to catch the bus. Lysander watched her go and then pulled her gloves out of his pocket. His own words had caught him. He was a coward because he wouldn't let go of the one piece of her she had left behind.
"Double date? Do you guys know what a double date is?" Castiel asked.
"Isn't that a date where two couples spend time together and with their friends?" Dake sunk the ball in.
"Well, her friend Yvonne has a date but she doesn't want to go alone so Sandra's roping me into a double date" Castiel said.
"Yvonne has a date?" Nathaniel asked.
"Yeah, so what? She's a pretty girl" Lysander said.
"No, I was just confirming" Nathaniel looked away back down to his magazine.
"I guess I should agree" Castiel picked up his phone to call Sandra back.
"Hi, my name's Terry"
Castiel and Sandra stared horrified at the young man in front of them. He looked like a rip off of Castiel. The same long hair, the same style of clothes and the same ear piercing in one ear. He was rather cheerful as well, grabbing Yvonne's hand and skipping along with her.
"Somehow, I have a bad feeling about this" Sandra commented.
"He looks like my twin" Castiel whispered to her.
"Do you just want to leave then?" Sandra asked.
"I don't mind him. He didn't even apologise because he was late and then he's trying to be me. Let's go on this date or whatever"
"So you guys go to Amoris High? Damn that's stupid. That's not the only thing that's stupid, it's that dude Martinez. I'm surprised he hasn't been thrown in jail for all the bullying he's done" Terry commented.
"Castiel" Sandra glanced over and saw Castiel's fist shaking with anger. She placed her hand over his and then glared at Terry. They were having a perfectly good time and he just had to ruin it.
"Martinez is a good person and you don't know him" She said.
"Oh are you a fangirl? Wow, Castiel, you have competition. She probably chose you because you have the same name" Terry said.
"I'm quite surprised that Castiel agreed to come with us" Yvonne commented as they skated on the lake in the park.
"He was annoyed because-"
"Hey Sandra!" Castiel grabbed Sandra's hand and wrapped his arms around her waist so they could skate together.
"I'm sorry for whatever that idiot said. You've changed into a good person. Don't listen to any word he says" Sandra said.
"It's fine"
"I love the lights around the trees, it makes everything so pretty"
"You like stuff like this?" Castiel asked.
"Yeah"
They stopped skating for a moment and then Terry came up to them with Yvonne.
"Castiel, let's go and get the girls some coffee" Terry said.
Castiel frowned but then followed Terry inside anyway. Sandra and Yvonne began skating together again.
"I'm sorry about Terry" Yvonne said.
"It doesn't seem like he's a bad person" Sandra said.
"We got what we wanted right?"
"What?"
"You got Castiel on a date and I got myself a date" Yvonne replied and both of them giggled.
"It's feels nice to see that he's trying his best" Sandra said.
"Why are they taking so long? Let's go look for them"
There was a small crowd outside the ice rink and Sandra's eyes widened when she saw Castiel on top of Terry, punching the other boy's lights out.
"Castiel!" Sandra called out and Castiel stopped immediately.
"Terry!" Yvonne knelt down and Castiel got off Terry
"Why are you punching him?" Sandra asked.
"Do I need a reason to hit someone like him?" Castiel brushed off his clothes.
"Why did you do this?" Sandra asked.
"Next time you're going to find a guy, find a decent one" Castiel turned around to leave.
"Apologise to him. If you don't, we're over" Sandra said.
"Sandra, don't" Yvonne begged.
Castiel turned back and then shook his head. He walked away to his waiting car. Sandra closed her eyes shut, giving up entirely. She knelt down and helped Terry up.
"What happened?" Yvonne asked.
"I don't know. I asked him to be friends with me on Facebook and he just started punching me. He could've just said he didn't like me" Terry replied.
"I'm sorry. I'll apologise on his behalf" Sandra said.
An extra long chapter for all my lovely readers. Sorry for being so absent.
