Gadreel sighed as he typed in his accounts. His uncle Zachariah place of work is boring, so hideously boring. But he thinks that he's lucky to have a job within the family. But he remembers what Mia had said to him, that he owed his family nothing, and that he didn't do anything wrong, that his family should still hold it over his head like it was eternal punishment.
He looks on top of his monitor, seeing the toy lion Mia gave to him. He remembers he asked Mia why she gave him a female one, and all she said was because the females do all the work in the pride.
"Gadreel!"
He looked up and saw Zachariah standing at his office door.
"My office, now!"
Gadreel got up and walked to the office, feeling uncomfortable as his coworkers stared after him. When he enters, his uncles shut the door and started yelling at him over a minuscule mistake he made in an account, which he doesn't remember. He noticed that Hannah was in the corner, watching intently.
"Why was Hannah here?" Gadreel thought, he didn't even know his sister was in the country. His sister also ostracized him, making him feel like he owed her for what he has done. Is that why Zachariah is doing this in front of her, do show he was still that same man that bowed his head?
He remembers Castiel telling him that Zachariah liked to act he owned everyone and loved to show it off. Was that what he was doing right now?
After Zachariah finished, he left the office in a daze, feeling detached from his body. He looked at his desk, where he had spent almost ten years under his uncle's thumb. Is this where he was going to spend ten more years, being ridiculed by him and making him feel inadequate?
He felt hot rage coil inside him and what happened next was a blur.
He went to the janitor, grabbed his broom, went to his desk and started to smash his computer. He gave five hard whacks until he looked up, seeing all his coworkers and his uncle staring at him. He gave a wide smile.
"I quit."
He threw the broom down and pocketed Mia's lion. He walked to the elevator, noticing Hannah following him.
"Gadreel, What do you think you're doing?"
"I'm leaving, Hannah. I had enough of our uncle."
"You should be grateful!" Hannah sneered, "After what you di-"
"Don't you dare, Hannah!" he exploded, "Don't you dare! You don't know the whole story, you just listened to what our parents said!"
Seeing Hannah's confusion, he continued.
"Hannah, I was five years old. Everyone said you were like a cat; I dropped you from the window because I thought you will land on your feet like a cat. That's why!" he growled out, "I was a child, Hannah! I tried to tell our parents but they already assumed what I did. They wouldn't listen to me, they never listen to me! They didn't care."
"No." she said, shaking her head, "We have good parent's, they know what's good for us. They wouldn't lie to us."
"Well, they did, Hannah." He said, seeing the elevator ding, "Now you have to make a choice, sister."
Gadreel then got on the elevator and went down, feeling the adrenaline wear off and his hands started to shake. When he got outside, he took out his phone and quickly text Mia.
Gadreel: Are you busy?
Mia: Not really, are u supposed to be at work?
Gadreel: Not anymore. I quit.
Mia: WHHHHHHHHHATT?! WHY?!
Gadreel: I had enough of living under my uncle's thumb
Mia: Good for u! :)
Gadreel: I also told Hannah the truth.
Mia: Aw hell. U ok?
Gadreel: I feel…free. But I don't know what to do. I need a job.
Mia: Well, lucky for u, dad needs a new bartender. He could show u how to make drinks.
Gadreel smiled warmly at Mia's message and texted back;
Gadreel: Yes, I would like that.
AN: so here, Gadreel finally had enough and just loses it. Who doesn't want to do this at their job when is so shitty?
He also told Hannah the truth, so now it's up to her to decide what to do with it.
Mia got Gadreels back.
I don't own SPN, just Mia! Comments are loved!
