- Time Skip After School -
Dean stood outside of the entrance gate. He couldn't stay long, as much as he wanted to. School ended at 2 and he had to be at Bobby's by 3:30. "Dean-O! What-cha doing?" Gabe, who seemingly popped out of no where, asked. I wanna check on Sam before I go." Dean explains. Gabe nods, "Do you know his last class?" A shake of his head tells him no.
"Dean! Gabe!" Sam runs up to them. "Hey-a Samster. Where's the fire?" Gabe jokes until he sees the look of horror and worry on his face. "Cas…H-He…..Someone nam-named Ali-ister…." Sam stutters. Gabe's eyes widen, "Where?!" Sam breathes out, "The Lockers." They all sprint to the boy's locker room.
"Cassie?!" "Dude? You in here?!" Their screams echo. There's a soft groan coming from the back and they go to investigate. Cas is leaning against the lockers, his hair messier than it usually is and barley looks awake. "Gabe…..?" he tries to look up, there's a bruise starting to form around his eye and blood around his nose, that looks broken, and mouth. Horror. Dread. Not one of them can believe what they are seeing.
Dean is the first to recover from shock and rushes to Cas' side. He carefully inspects Cas' wounds. Gabe follows suit as Sam stands to the side worried about he's new friend. "It's okay Cas. Tell me who did it this time." "A-Alister and….and Ab-Abdaddon." He mumbles. Gabe nods, "Did they say anything?" Cas glances at Sam and the older boys don't fail to notice this.
"Sammy…..What did they say?" Dean asks. "That….I shouldn't hang with a-a…..Fag…..unless I want to be treated as one." Sam answers. "Did they hurt you?" Gabe questions. Sam raising his hand to his shoulder is enough to answer his question. "Not as bad as Cas, They just shoved me into the lockers and I ran to get you guys." Sam explains. "How about we get you guys to the nurse." Cas winces and sakes his head and Gabe sighs. "There's a first-aid kit in my car." Dean suggests. They nod and Sam holds open the door for them to lift Cas through.
Arriving at the car, Gabe hold Cas steady as Dean unlocks the doors. Sam goes through the glove box and dash for things they need. Dean and Gabe seat Cas in the driver's seat, his back to the passenger seat. "Cas? You okay buddy?" He nods and slightly grimaces in pain. Dean and Gabe grab the first-aid tools and start patching him up. When they're done, Dean drives off, leaving Sam with their new found friends.
- Time Skip -
"What a first day, eh Sammy?" Dean shuts the door behind them. "I'll say…" Sam jumps on their bed and goes through his bag. "So? What's Cas and Gabe's house like?" Dean asks curiously. "It was clean and in order- Like no one even lived there. Except Gabe's room, It was messy and kinda like what your room would look like….If you had one." Sam explains. "What's that suppose to mean?" Dean glares. "He just reminds me of you sometime." Sam shrugs.
"He likes the same cars, girls and most of your music," He lists," Except he favors candy and pranks over pie and leather." Sam smirks. Dean puts his hand to his chest in false hurt, "Sammy we can't be friends with…Pie-Haters." He says with a straight face. "We're still friends with Cas, I see" Sam laughs as Dean glares at him.
The sudden slamming open of the door cause the sound to go silent. The boys look over to see their father stumble in. He's drunk, they can tell from the way the smell of alcohol practically leaks from him, and looks as if he's been in a fight. "W-What are…..Youuu braaats…..Lo-ooking at?" He glares. "Nothing, Sir." Dean replies. He grabs Sam's hand, the 14 year old doesn't complain, and pulls him away from their father.
John hiccups and very un-gracefully walks to his bed. The clean sheets and blanket mess up as his weight causes them to shift. John grumbles a bit before falling asleep. Dean sighs, "Come on Sammy, Let's go to the library." He nudges his little brother out the door, never taking his eyes from the broken man they call their father.
The drive was quick and full of Dean "singing", Sam couldn't disagree more, along with many of his favored rock songs. Dean had parked closer to the library so they didn't have to walk as much. Sam was bouncing at his brother's side. He's been dying to go here since he found it was close by.
As they open the door Sam runs to the mostly fantasy and fiction area. He picked out at least 5 books under a minute. Dean chuckles at his brother actions and takes a seat at the many tables they had out. After a few minutes Sam came to the table carrying so many book you could barely see his face. Dean lets Sam read until he picked 3 books to take.
They walk out with the books to the car after checking them out. "What kind of books did you get?" Sam gives him a bitch face before explaining, "Brothers Grimm: Fairy Tales," "Gay" Dean whispers. "Harry Potter and some Folklore." Dean snorts, "You are such a nerd Sammy." Sam rolls his eyes.
Dean parks the car and they quietly walk to their room. Slowwly opening the door, dean's sees their father is still asleep and they slip past him to their shared bed. Sam falls asleep as dean stays awake. This is how most nights o. Dean has been almost haunted by something his mother would tell him before he went to bed at a young age.
