Alice was sitting up in bed reading a Stephen King book when Castiel entered the room. Dean was hot on his heels interested in seeing what the younger Novak looked like. To his surprise she didn't look like a normal cancer patient. She had a full head of long black hair that highlighted her grey eyes. Despite her pale complexion and the dark circles under her eyes she smiled as they walked in the door. "So, Castiel, who is this?" she asked in a sultry voice. "This is Dean, he's renting out your room until you receive a donor" Cas said. "It's nice to see you're already putting me out of your life" she teased. "You know I would never even dream of that Alice" Cas scolded. "Jeez it was just a joke lighten up. I still got another year, year and a half left before I kick the proverbial bucket" "Please don't joke like that sis. God forbid it happens" Cas said. "It might happen Cas. Do you know how rare AB- blood is?" she asked. "Hey, that's my brothers' blood type. Maybe he'd be willing to give you a transfusion" Dean piped up. "Really?" Cas asked. "No, I couldn't do that. I don't even know your brother and besides the procedure is very painful" Alice said. "I don't think he'd mind much. Sam is one of those bleeding heart types. Plus our mom died of leukemia." Dean said "I can give him a call, he could be here in like thirty minutes" "That would be great" Cas said. "No, no, no, no, NO, doesn't anyone care about my opinion?" Alice yelled "There's a four year old girl down the hall that has leukemia too. If anyone should get the transplant it should be her. I've accepted this Cas, I have. I'm ready to die" "I'm not" Cas stated "Why don't we just get Sam down here and let him decide?" Alice sighed, sinking further down into her pillows. Castiel always did this, wore her out. He was too attached to her. He couldn't accept the fact that she was going to die. She had blatantly refused chemotherapy from the start. She didn't want to rack up medical bills for a treatment that would only make her sicker. She had agreed to the bone marrow transplant only to placate her brother. She knew the chances of catching someone with AB- blood. She just wanted to die in peace. She numbly listened to Dean on the phone with his brother. She was going to let this guy possibly ruin his future for her. She was nobody, she would never do anything great with her life. Maybe that little girl down the hall would. She resigned herself to refusing outright when this boy came. She wouldn't let anyone have a say. When Alice was determined to do something nobody stood in her way. They waited in a painfully awkward silence for exactly thirty five minutes and twenty seven seconds. Dean knew because he counted. Alice was fuming at Cas' decision to let his brother come by. Dean felt bad but, he didn't want this girl to throw away her future for something as little as a bone marrow transplant. He remembered the terrible agony their mother had been in before she passed. He didn't want the same to happen to Alice. She seemed like a sweet girl and he hoped Sammy would like her too. He would never admit it but Sam was terrible with women. He'd never had a girlfriend, let alone been kissed. Sammy walked into the room in a pair of old jeans and his favorite Stanford University sweatshirt. He scanned the room, making eye contact with his big brother and the stranger whose house he was living in. He gave his brother a hug before turning his eyes to the occupant of the bed. He was taken aback by how beautiful she was. She looked deathly pale but, it just highlighted her features. Sam had been skeptical of giving bone marrow to a complete stranger but, now that he saw her he was more than willing to help her. "H-hi" he said shakily. "Hi yourself" she said in an equally shaky voice. "Sam this is Alice, Alice this is Sam" Dean said. Reviews are nice!
