Okay so here is chapter 3!^^ Look for chapter 4 soon! I am on a writing obsession atm :P Hope you like it:D


Chapter 3


Castiel sat in his room as he listened to the radio. The soft music was like a lullaby to his ears, it helped to sooth his aches. It might sound stupid to some, but for Cas it was one of his cooping mechanisms that he used when upset. And right now was one of those times. Earlier when he had informed Jo about the invitation, he saw the worried expression that had graced her face.

Cas didn't want to admit it then, and still didn't, but he felt the same. He felt the same sense of dread and fear that he had seen on his sister's face. He knew something was not right, that this was not some miracle that had been given to him. He had known Sam long enough to know that he never had his best interest in mind. Still this was for Dean; his best friend that he longed to have once again.

The music in the room stopped suddenly causing Castiel to refocus. He stood from his position on his bed by the wall and walked across his small bedroom to shut his radio off completely. With the click of the button Cas was now in complete silence. Silence, now that was his other enemy. It always allowed the mind to wonder and that could be dangerous.

Cas decided that he needed to get some air so he exited his room and made his way past his sister's room. Jo was his one bright spot. He was thankful that she cared as much as she did, she was the only one that did.

She never left him, unlike everyone else. Cas winced at his own thoughts as he moved away from Jo's door and towards the apartment's knew he felt a small sense of anger and resentment at what Dean had done after everything that they had been through, but he knew that he forgave him. He had to.

As Cas stepped out of his apartment he let a small smile creep on his face as he saw that it was about dusk. This time of day always had appealed to him. He began to walk in the direction of his college. That was the benefit of having a apartment so close, Cas thought as he walked on the side walk unaware that he was being watched, let alone followed.


Four Years Ago


Dean was sleeping in the room he shared with his giant like brother when his cell phone rang. Dean moaned as he threw one arm over his face as if trying to knock himself unconscious so he could get a few more hours of sleep. Meanwhile his other hand was outstretched as he attempted to find the damn annoyance.

Sam stirred in his bed a few feet away. He too found it an intrusion as he sighed and threw his covers off of him, sitting up. Sam stared at Dean as the phone continued to ring. His brother was half-heartedly attempting to find the phone. Sam sighed annoyed by the early morning intrusion and his brother's complete and utter laziness. He quickly walked over to Dean's phone and picked it up.

"Don't strain a muscle there prince, I got it." Sam said. Dean seemed to acknowledge him as he drifted back into slumber. Sam glanced at the phone; it was Castiel. Sam let out a sound of annoyance as he decided that Cas should not be calling this early, heck ever really. He hated how attached and puppy like he was with his brother. Always following him around. There was something off about him that he truly did not care for. Hopefully Sam thought, Dean would see this too.

So after a few more rings of the phone he ended the sound by pressing the ignore button, sending the call to voice mail. Then he quickly decided to turn the volume on the phone off. It was a Saturday for Christ's sake and he was not going to be wakened up by that stain.

A smile almost crossed his face when he saw that the phone lite up, Cas was calling again. "Call all you want, but he is not going to answer this time…." Sam said to himself as he walked back to bed.

It was almost four hours later when Dean began to drift back into consciousness. The sun brightly lit the room, creating a sense of peace. Dean slowly sat up and looked over at Sammy. He was already up and seemed to be getting ready to leave.

Dean raised his eyebrow in confusion." Were you going this morning Mr. sunshine?" Dean asked in a mocking tone. This caused Sam to glare slightly at Dean. Sam casually walked towards the door, turning as he opened it. "Out." Was all Sam offered as he slipped out of their room and into the small house they shared with their father.

Dean sighed with frustration with his brother's usual evasive persona. Sometimes his brother confused him; that was probably because Sam was just like their father. He was quick tempered, stubborn, and at times annoying as hell, but he was still his Sammy.

Dean sluggishly walked to the door and down to the kitchen; His objective, food. He opened the refrigerator as he search for something to calm his stomach. There it was, heaven on earth. He pulled out the pie from the fridge as he smirked.

Thank god Sam wasn't here, Dean thought as he sat the pie on the counter. He would never hear the end of how pie was not a breakfast food, how it was not healthy and all his other bullshit. Dean sighed as he ate his pie. As he finished his pie he took it to the sink with all the overflowing dishes that had not been touched in days.

As he stepped away from the sink he faintly remembered the phone call that came in the middle of the night. He decided to check out who had called, hoping that it was not Cas. Ellen had not been doing well as of late. She had grown weaker and was now refusing to have chemo.

She had told them that she didn't want to spend her last days with her kids a sick person. This greatly upset Cas, Dean knew. He had been spending more time with Dean recently, just hanging out. Dean knew all he wanted was to pretend nothing was wrong, even if for a short time and Dean was more than happy to be there for him.

As Dean entered his room he looked for his phone. Suddenly he frowned noticing that his phone was not on his nightstand next to his bed. That was where he always had it. Times like this made him curse speed dial. Who actually memorized numbers now a days, Dean sure as hell didn't. Dean sighed as he looked behind his nightstand, nothing. Dean shook his head knowing it was a lost cause.

He would just wait till Sam returned and see if he had moved it. Dean hoped that it was just a prank call. However, the more he thought about it the more it ate away at him. What if it was Cas? What if something happened? With that thought he decided to head over to Cas's to make sure. He would not leave Cas alone to deal if something happened, he could never live with himself if he did.

Sam knocked on a wooden door as he clenched Dean's phone in his pocket. He knew that if Dean knew that Cas had called then he would be dragged to this wretch of a house. That Cas would convince him that he was sad and needed him. Dean did not need a friend like Cas.

He didn't want Dean to grow any closer to Cas, so he decided this morning that he had to take action to get Castiel to go away. That if he let this friendship continue, that Castiel might influence his brother in another way. That he might make his brother like him and he knew that he could not let that happen. So here he was, at Castiel's front door.

After a few seconds that door opened to reveal Ellen. Her face pale as she looked a little shocked. Sam noticed how her frame had grown too thin as she leaned against the doorframe. Sam nodded his head as Ellen stepped aside to allow Sam into her house. Once Sam was inside her turned to her and offered her a small sympathetic smile. Ellen closed the door as she turned towards Sam. "What brings you here Sam?" Ellen said, her voice tired.

Sam then helped her to the couch. When Ellen was sitting down Sam answered. "I just decided to stop by and see how Cas is doing…" this caused Ellen to smile." I am so grateful that you and your brother are there for him. He is in his room, why don't you go see him," Ellen said as she motioned for him to go.

Sam nodded his head as he turned away form Ellen and headed down the thin hall that he knew would lead to Castiel's room. He hated this house. It reeked of something he could not stand. He sighed as he knocked on Cas's door before sliding into the room. Cas was sitting with his back towards him as he shut the door.
