Me: I am so sorry for the long wait. I've been completely dead for the last little while and my internet was acting up yesterday so I couldn't update. Anyways thank you to Transformer Diva who inspired me to get off my ass and post. I don't own My candy love, just Lexus and my characters!

I didn't even talk to Castiel the next day. I was still annoyed at him from getting on my case for keeping secrets and yet he was keeping some himself. Lysander tried to make me feel better, but his efforts didn't help. The only ones that made me feel better were Melody, Iris and Nathaniel. Then one day, everything changed. I was helping Melody and Nathaniel sort though papers when the principle entered with a man in black on the tow. His long black trench coat covered his tall lithe body, black shoes were on his feet and a black fedora was on his head, covering his face. I frowned when I saw him. I didn't like the look he had, it made me feel uneasy.

"Nathaniel, Melody, this is Mr. Harriette. He is residing in Sweet Amoris for the time being and wanted to see our school." She turned to me and gasped.

"Oh Lexus, I didn't see you there." I grunted, earning a look from Melody.

"Hello, I'm Nathaniel." Nathaniel introduced himself, offering a hand out to the stranger. He frowned when the man didn't move. Nathaniel cleared his throat.

"Anyways, those two ladies are Melody and Lexus." Melody smiled and gave a wave and I nodded silently. I couldn't shake the uneasy feeling about this guy.

"I've been waiting to meet you...Lia." My eyes widened when I recognized the voice. The voice that had called me numerous times over the last three weeks.

"Her name isn't Lia," Nathaniel cut in with a frown. "It's Lexus."

"And this doesn't concern you boy." The man said sharply. I glared at him as he lifted the hat from his face, revealing his eyes. Those deep green eyes that seemed like they had no soul behind them. My fists clenched.

"What the hell are you doing here?" I asked though clenched teeth.

"I came to see you of course."

"Lexus, do you know this man?" The principle asked and I didn't answer. I just glared at the man standing before me.

"Go rot in hell." I spat at him and stormed out with Melody and Nathaniel calling after me.

I strode across the courtyard when I heard a voice. I turned to see Castiel leaning against the tree with one earbud in. I turned away and tried to hide the tears that were threatening to fall. I heard his footsteps coming closer and he touched my shoulder.

"Lexus? What happened?" I locked eyes with him and buried my face in his chest. He was shocked at first, but after a moment, he wrapped his arms around me.

"What happened?" He asked again.

"My father is here." I whispered trembling. I felt his embrace tighten around me. I looked over my shoulder to see him standing by the door looking at me and Castiel. Castiel was glaring at him and under his fedora, I was sure he was glaring at us. After what felt like forever, he turned and walked off. I exhaled in relief after he was gone and Castiel looked at me.

"That was him?" I pulled away and nodded.

"Yea, it was kinda weird seeing him again."

"Why?" I shrugged.

"Before he would drink himself stupid. I learned how to tell if someone's drunk and I didn't smell alcohol on him." Castiel gave me a funny look.

"What?"

"Why do you think he's here?"

"I don't know!" I snapped. I sighed and rubbed my neck.

"I need to be alone." With that, I walked off and Cas didn't follow.

"Lexus, are you alright?" I looked up to see Nathaniel looking at me with concern.

"Yea, I'm fine." Nathaniel sat down next to me.

"You mind explaining why you were rude to that man from before?" The paper in my hand crumpled. Nathaniel flinched.

"I don't like to talk about."

"Lexus..."

"I'm not going to talk about it." I snapped harshly. I crumpled up the paper and throw it in the recycle and stormed out.

Nathaniel watched with a frown as Lexus walked out. He glanced over to see that she had abandoned her bag. With a sigh, he picked it up and followed her.

I walked at a brisk pace though the halls. I glared at Amber when she walked close to me, thinking she would try to piss me off more.

"Lexus!" I whirled around to see Nathaniel running after me with my bag in hand. When he caught up with me, he handed me my bag and I took it back and pulled it over my head.

"Thanks, I'm going to go home."

"I'll come with you."

"No!" He flinched.

"No... I don't need an escort." With that, I walked off.

Castiel winced at the sharp shrill sound that his guitar produced. Lysander gave him a confused look.

"What was that?"

"I don't know." Castiel placed his guitar aside and took a drink from his soda. (Pop for us Canadians) Lysander gave him a funny look and Cas noticed this.

"What are you looking at me like that for?"

"Have you talked to Lexus, lately?"

"Yea, why?"

"What about?" Castiel frowned as he leaned against the table.

"Apparently her dad tracked her down." Lysander frowned.

"And when was this?"

"Earlier today, what's with you?" Lysander bit his lip and the red head lifted an eyebrow at this.

"What?"

"Look, I know that you are probably still getting over her, but don't you think that you owe Lexus the truth? I mean, you always complained that she kept too many secrets." Castiel frowned.

"I don't know if I can give her that secret though."

"Have you kept all the secrets that she told you?" Lysander asked with a serious look and Castiel frowned.

"Fine, you caught me. I'll swing by her house later and tell her."

"Good." He slid his notebook into his bag and pulled it on to his shoulder.

"Well, I best be off."

"Later Lys." Castiel called as the other left the room. Cas listened as Lysander shut the door to his house and drove off.
