Almost everything went by as planned that morning. Dean and Sam came to pick me up and we made it to school on time, but what happened when I arrived at school was not planned. Every person in the car park was starring at Sam, me and Dean's empty car space, as he had to get to work, we made our way through, conversing through expressions, we soon realised neither of us had done anything horrible since yesterday. That was when I heard them, The Demons, Crowley, Meg, Ruby and Alistair, they were laughing. Sam yelled out,
"Can we help you?" He went to step towards them but i grabbed his arm as Ruby yelled,
"Oh look, he's fucking both brothers!" To make matters worse Crowley added,
"Maybe it's an incestual threesome or something?" everyone laughed, as i dragged Sam inside the building, remembering the car that drove past as Dean was saying goodbye. Sam looked like steam was pouring out of his ears as he pulled out his phone, he looked at me and said,
"I swear to God Cas, I never told anyone and neither did Dean. We didn't even tell our Dad!" I frowned and explained everything about Dean's goodbye last night, leaving out the gory details. Sam looked shocked,
"What, is Crowley spying on you now?"
"I wish I knew." I mutter pulling out my own phone. "I'm going to call Dean okay?"
"Yeah okay." Sam said nodding. I dialed Dean's number and he answered pretty fast.
"Hey Cas, what's wrong? Didn't i just drop you guys at school?" He asked surprised that I was calling so soon.
"Yeah you did but something's happened..." I trailed off not sure how to word it.
"Oh god! Is Sammy okay? Are you okay Cas?"
"Yes Sam's okay..." I pause and then add "But Dean...they know..." He sighed,
"How?"
"One of the demons drove past my house as we were saying goodbye yesterday..."
"I guess they would've found out sooner or later."
"But Dean they are making fun of me and Sam." I said, trying to contain my emotions from spilling out.
"Do you want me to pick you guys up?" Dean asked, obviously hearing my pain. I looked at Sam and he shook his head.
"No you just started your new job we'll be fine." I said, with a reassuring tone.
"Alright, well I'll call you at lunch, okay?" He asked worryingly.
"Yeah, sounds great. Talk to you later."
"Okay Bye!" Dean said as i was hanging up.
Up until lunch everything was okay. People gave us funny looks, teachers asked if we needed their "assistance" as they called it, we always said we were fine. I understood why it was the worlds largest lie. When lunch came, Dean rang seconds after the bell did. He asked how we were and then said that he had to get back to work. After the call Sam and I ran into Crowley and the demons. We kept walking but Meg and Ruby blocked our path. That was when Crowley spoke,
"What makes you think that you can be gay in my school?" When I didn't answer he added, "Let me rephrase that for you Novak. What makes you think you can spread your Infection here in my school?" He stepped forward as Sam did. I turned to Sam and said,
"Ignore him Sam. He's not..." Sam held up his hand.
"I do not care what he is Cas, he can't say that stuff to you!"
"And what are you going to do to me Sammy?" Crowley laughed.
"Enough!" Sam snapped, rolling up his sleeves. I looked around and saw we were drawing a crowd.
"Sam don't!" I yelled as his fist connected with Crowley's hand. Crowley clamped down on Sam's hand and it around. Sam screamed as something snapped in his arm. That was when I decided this fight was my fight and now Sam's hurt because I didn't man up. I shoved Crowley off Sam only to have him rebound off Alistair, Ruby and Meg. I felt his fist collide with my face, then some yelling and then everything went black.
When I woke up there was tubes in my nose and an IV in my hand, I tried to blink away the blurriness when I heard my Mother yell,
"DOCTOR! He's awake! My baby's awake!"
"Mum?" Well that's what I thought I would say but it ended up coming out quite slurred.
"It's okay baby. I'm right here." She replied, squeezing my hand. A doctor came running in and looked at all my various machines and cords. Then she said,
"Do you know where you are?"
"No." It was a simple reply, but it was the best I could offer.
"You're at Lawrence Hospital. Do you remember the accident?"
"I...yes I do." I muttered, replaying it in my head, remembering how scared I was.
"It's okay, relax!" The doctor said, then added, "Quite the traumatic experience then. Okay I'm just going to check your vitals." She tested the basics. Did I know my full name, my eyes, my fingers and toes, as well as my pressure points. She gave the all clear and said she would be back to move me from ICU to the Wards in an hour.
"Oh Cas you're father and I were so worried when Sam rang us." She started crying, blubbering on about ho they got here as soon as the could and that they have't left since. She calmed herself and said, "Honey...you've been unconscious for 3 days..." I starred open mouthed,
"What? 3 days?" I sounded shocked even to myself. My mother sighed,
"That's not what's important! Why didn't you tell us Cas?"
"About what?" I asked, already knowing.
"You being gay. We had to find out from Sam and his brother Dean. They told us you were being bullied." She said, starting to cry.
"Oh mum..." I said, squeezing her hand, "No one but Sam and Dean were supposed to know..." She cut me off,
"I can understand why Sam knew, but I don't know why Dean knew?"
"Can you go get Dad? I need to tell you guys something." I said, wanting them to know together.
"Sure sweetie." She left and returned within seconds with my father in tow. "What do you want to tell us Cas" She asked, carefully.
"As you know now I'm gay. This isn't how I thought we would have this conversation. Moving on, now you're probably wondering why Dean knew?" I paused, the both nodded. "Well Dean knows because...well he's my boyfriend..." I waited for their reaction and it wasn't at all what I expected.
"Cas, I'm so glad that you were going to tell us about all this!" My mother said, then yelled, "My baby's in Love!" My father shook his head at her smiling.
"I'm glad you're happy Castiel and that makes us happy." He said pointing at my mother. "But if only you three knew, why were you being bullied?" Then Sam came in with his arm in a cast and answered for me,
"So far we believe the other day when Dean dropped Cas home and was saying goodbye someone at school saw and that's what led to the bullying." My mother winced, seeing Sam's cast, my father said,
"Well we'll be pressing charges against this boy!" Sam grinned,
"Don't worry Mr and Mrs Novak my father already has our lawyer on the job due to my injury. A small explanation to him and I'm sure he wont hesitate to add assault charges for Cas here as to his new status in my family." He winked at me when he said that.
"Thank you Sam! This means a lot!" My father said, shaking his uninjured hand. The doctor came in and cleared them all out as it was past visiting hours now and I needed a rest. Everyone said their goodbyes as the doctor put something in my IV to help me sleep. I drifted off soon after.
