Dear Friend,

I had the most wonderful night of my life. Sam and Dean invited me over to watch a movie for Sam's birthday. It started out as just watching one movie, but it soon turned into a Star Wars marathon. Sam kept teasing Dean for mouthing all the words, but he stopped once I joined in with Dean. We stayed up late and laughed and talked and it was just really fun. Then Gabriel stopped by to give Sam a present. I wish I had known it was Sam's birthday before today. I would've gotten him a better present than what Gabriel got him. Gabriel got him a white feather. A feather. Sam looked grateful and he said he liked it, but I could tell he was as dumbfounded as Dean and I were.

When Gabriel left, Sam was the first to crack a joke, which made me feel better about Gabriel even showing up to our movie night.

"Dude, what kind of a present is a feather?" Dean laughed.

"I honestly don't know." Sam replied. "Maybe it- Man, I don't even know what to say about it." We all began to laugh.

"Let's get back to the movie." I really wanted to forget that Gabriel had even been there.

"Sammy, I'm gonna have to get to sleep. I have to work in the morning." Dean yawned.

"Okay, night." Sam smiled.

"Night, Charlie."

"Night."

We sat back down on the couch and continued our movie. When it was over Sam said he was hungry.

"D'you want anything?" Sam asked, walking into the kitchen. I followed.

"Milkshake."

"You really like milkshakes, don't you, Charlie?" He went to the fridge and pulled out a tub of ice cream.

"If I were only allowed to eat one thing for the rest of my life, I hope it would be a milkshake."

"Charlie,"

"Yes, Sam?"

"Why are you so amazing?"

"What?"

"You're so amazing, why? I've never met anyone as amazing as you." My heart began to pound and I know my face turned red.

"I'm not-"

"No, you are." He grabbed my face with his hand and rested him thumb on my cheek. In that moment, I realized why I was always nervous around Sam, why my heart always sped up when I saw him, why I got really sad when he talked about Gabriel. I was in love with Sam Winchester. It took the breath out of me and I had to regain my thoughts before I could speak. It was like a light switch had been flipped in my brain and I suddenly had all the answers in the universe. I was in love with Sam Winchester. I, Charlie Bradbury, was in love with Sam Winchester. I also realized that it didn't matter to me that he was a guy, it only mattered that I loved him.

"Sam," I could barely find words. "I could ask you the same."

"Do you want to spend the night," he asked.

"Where would I sleep?"

"with me?"

"You want me to sleep with you?"

"What's the harm? You have a girlfriend and I have a boyfriend. Nothing's going to happen."

"Yes." It came out way faster and way more eager than intended. "Wait- by sleep you mean actually sleep, right?" I had to clarify.

"Yes," Sam laughed. He still hadn't let go of my face, but I didn't mind.

So, we slept in the same bed, milkshakes forgotten. When I woke up, we were facing each other and he had his arm around me, but I let it stay there.

Sincerely,

Charlie Bradbury

Dear Friend,

I made a terrible mistake.

Sam, Dean, Meg, Jo, and I were hanging out at Sam and Dean's house. Someone suggested we play truth or dare.

"Dean, truth or dare?" Meg smirked as she planned what to say in her head. It was common knowledge that Dean would always take a dare, so she was already deciding upon it.

"Dare,"

"Shocker… I dare you… to… play Seven Minutes with Jo." Meg looked pleased with herself, placing her arm around my shoulder. Meg was on my left and Sam sat on my right.

"Really? Meg, are we seventh graders?"

"You chose dare."

"Fine. Jo, let's go in the closet." This caused everyone to whistle and shout. Jo glanced at Meg with an annoyed look. They went in the closet and seven minutes later, they came out without saying a word.

"Was it good, Jo?" Meg tried to stop from smiling.

"I've had better." Jo proclaimed.

"Yeah, right. I'm the best damn kisser that any one of you bitches has ever seen. Right, Sammy?" Dean looked proud.

"How the hell would I know?" This raised some eyebrows.

"Charlie, truth or dare?" Dean ignored the looks he was getting.

"Uh… Dare, I guess."

"I dare you to kiss the person you love." Dean smiled. He was trying to go easy on me. He had no idea. Everyone expected me to kiss Meg and I thought I was going to. Before I could stop myself, I turned and kissed Sam. Sam pulled back and looked at me with a shocked expression. I turned to Meg and she looked completely pissed and upset.

"Get the fuck out!" She screeched.

"Charlie, I'll take you home." Dean grabbed my arm. Meg ran up the stairs and Sam and Jo went after her.

When we got outside, Dean stopped me.

"What the hell was that?" Dean demanded.

"I-I don't know. One second I was going to kiss Meg and the next, I was turning to Sam and I-" I began to cry.

"Get in the car." We both got in. "Charlie, maybe it'd be best if you didn't go around Sam or Meg for a while."

Dean proceeded to tell me how Meg had planned to use Dean's dare to tell me that she loved me. He dropped me off at my house and I went to my room and cried myself to sleep.

On Monday, I tried to stay away from Sam, but I saw him in the hall and I had to talk to him.

"Sam, can we talk?"

"Do you have any idea how bad you hurt Meg?" Sam spat.

"I'm so sorry. I-"

"Save it." Sam walked away.

For three weeks, no one would talk to me and I cried myself to sleep every night. Every day I called Dean to ask how everyone was. For the first few days, he told me. One day, he didn't answer his phone and for two weeks he wouldn't talk to me. Sam finally called to tell me about Dean.

The day he wouldn't answer, he had been over at Castiel's house. They had been kissing or something and Castiel's father walked in. Castiel's father began to beat Castiel and Dean had to sit and watch. Dean begged Castiel's father to stop, but he wouldn't. He called Dean and Castiel fags and he almost started to beat Dean, but Castiel stood between them. Castiel wouldn't let his father touch Dean. He told Dean to leave and so he did. The next day at school, Castiel broke up with Dean and that was the end.

I wish I had something more pleasant to tell you, but I don't.

Sincerely,

Charlie Bradbury


A review would be wonderful right about now...
