Dear Friend,

Today my English Teacher, Mr. Singer, told me something. Mr. Singer has been my friend since I hurt my other friends. He has given me books to read and I thoroughly enjoy them. He has been a very good friend since I started talking to him.

Today was when I decided to tell him about my mistakes, he was sort of helpful.

"Sometimes people don't forgive as soon as we'd hope." He reasoned.

"I don't think they'll ever forgive me. Sam won't forgive me. Meg won't forgive me. I tried to apologize, but I think she hates me now."

"Charlie, I don't think you really love Meg. I think you keep telling yourself that because you don't think you're worthy of Sam."

"I'm not."

"We accept the love we think we disserve."

"What?"

"I think that it's not your place to decide if you disserve Sam. I think it's his place to decide that. Keep apologizing. Eventually, Sam will realize that you didn't want to hurt anyone."

"Thank you, Mr. Singer." I smiled for the first time in weeks.

"Please, call me Bobby."

"Thank you, Bobby."

I left his classroom, went to the cafeteria, and found an empty table. I took a bite of my sandwich when I heard a fight in the middle of the room.

"Faggot." One of Castiel's friends tripped Dean, made him spill his lunch, and fall on the floor.

"Leave me alone." Dean very calmly stood up and tried to walk away.

"I'm not done with you, Fag." He shoved Dean in the stomach and made him fall again. I know Dean could've taken that guy, but he wouldn't let him think they got to him.

"Yeah, Fag, you can't leave yet." Another guy joined in. Castiel stood there, looking helpless. He had a black eye.

"Just drop it." Dean tried to walk away again, but the first guy punched him. Castiel only flinched.

I ran to Dean.

"Are you okay, Dean?" I helped him up.

"So now you have a girl defending you, Faggot?" The second guy laughed.

I ran at him and punched him as hard as I could. I don't remember what happened after that. The next thing I knew, Sam was pulling me away, my knuckles were bloody, and the two guys were passed out on the floor. I struggled against Sam.

"Let me go!" I screamed. "I'm not letting you touch me!" I was thrashing.

"Charlie, stop." Sam hugged me. I suddenly felt safe and warm. I hugged him back and began to cry. Principal Crowley showed up and told me to go to the nurse's office before I went to his office.

"Sam, will you come with me?" I looked up at him.

"Yeah, Charlie, I will." He smiled and I knew. I just knew that he would forgive me.

We entered the nurse's office and she wrapped up my hands and told me to wait there while she got some pain medication.

"Charlie, how did you fight like that?" Sam looked amazed.

"I-I don't remember what happened."

"You beat them up. You also kept yelling things."

"W-What did I yell?"

"Things like 'Daddy, stop touching me', and 'It hurts, it hurts."

"I'm gonna be sick." I grabbed the trash bin next to the bed and let it all go. After a few minutes of silence, I had to ask. "Sam, will you please forgive me?"

"Of course." His smile warmed my heart. "You saved my brother. I don't think even I or Dean could've taken those douche bags."

There was a knock at the door.

"Come in." Sam said.

"Sam, can I talk to her alone?" it was Castiel.

"Sure." Sam stood up and left.

"The hell do you want?" I barked.

"I wanted to thank you."

"For doing what you wouldn't?"

"For doing what I couldn't."

"So, you would just sit there while the person you love gets hurt?"

"It wasn't like that. I did stop him from getting hurt."

"Once. And you think that makes up for it?"

"Not at all. What I'm saying is… Those guys could only do so much before a teacher came and stopped them. My father would've killed Dean. He almost killed me. I-"

"Get out." I yelled. He did.

When I went to Principal Crowley's office, I got suspended for a week and, at home, grounded for two, but I was happy because I had my friends back.

I'm glad to have good news to share today.

Sincerely,

Charlie Bradbury

I was going to have Charlie hug Bobby because Bobby is an awesome father figure, but I figured that since Bobby is her teacher, it'd seem a bit pedophile-ish.

Anywho, review time?
