Long time since I updated, I know, sorry guys. A sort of a flashback sequence. I like them and showing more on how things got to where they were soo... Italics is the flashback incase you forgot from last time.

It's been a while since that storm passed. A lot of damage was done but no one was hurt, fortunately. Now this time later Sonya was lying in her bed in the dark, unable to sleep. Her mind was wandering off, thinking about a million things at once but mostly remembering one thing. Nathaniel's shock at how good of a friend Castiel really was to her. There was only one time really that Sonya could think where things ever had gotten real bad between them.

The only time was when he was with his girlfriend. Naturally, he blamed Sonya's dislike of her as jealousy, seeing as she took away Sonya's best friend from her, and everyone else loved her. But Sonya had always saw right through her phony act. Then came the news where Nathaniel had tried to steal her from Castiel and then she broke up with him, leaving him high and dry. He went into a funk after that and didn't really talk to Sonya for a while. It was only once Sonya had started talking to Nathaniel that she had learned the real truth, none to surprising. Once Sonya started going with Nathaniel, it made things worse. The guy had tried to steal Castiel's girlfriend and next went after his best friend. He was bad news all around. Sonya had a huge fight with Castiel and they weren't talking again for a while.

I was lying on my bed, staring at my ceiling and feeling a lot of self pity. I should be so happy right now. Things were going great with Nathaniel and I actually felt accepted for once. There was just one thing that was missing; my best friend. The one and only person who understood and been through it all with me. Now he wouldn't even look at me all because he just doesn't understand.

I was on a verge of a breakdown and that didn't really happen often. I had learned to be tough with everything I've been put through but this was enough even for myself. It was only hearing the tapping that made me pull it together and sit up. I swirled my head to the windows behind me on the back wall, the moon shining brightly in, but in the window to my left there was a blocked black form sitting in front of the window.

I let out a breath of relief and sprung up to open the window and let Castiel in. He's come into my room from my window countless times over the years. It was easy to climb up onto lawn furniture and unto the first story roof ledge to sit in front of my window. Once he was inside though that nervousness re-entered my bones. Neither one of us spoke for some time and I sat back down on my bed, hanging my head.

"Hey," Castiel came and knelt in front of me. I was biting my lip hard. "Don't do that, you're going to bleed." He said, looking up at me, seeing what he could past my bangs and the dark. I instantly released my lip but I still wouldn't look at him. "Look," he started and then seemed at a loss for words.

It was I who finally spoke. "Why do you have to blame him for?"

I saw that he made a face before he answered. "That guy, he tried to take my girlfriend from he. He's scum and now he's after you. I'm not all that pleased that you're into someone like that."

I clenched my hands into fists at my sides. "You don't have a clue about anything. She wasn't all that better anyways the way she just up and left you like that."

"Well this isn't about her. It's about you." He said, the growing irritation rising in his tone.

"I'm glad to know it's about me for once." I stood up. "It's always been about her and when I've got something good in my life for once all you can do is think of any way it can go wrong!"

He stood up as well and we stood facing one another. "So I'm not something good in your life?"

We both froze once we heard creaking elsewhere in the house. "I didn't mean it like that. It wouldn't matter anyways since you're not really in my life anymore anyways." I said, more quieter now.

"Well I don't want it to be that way anymore." He was talking in a quieter voice as well but his tone hadn't softened at all. "That's why I'm here."

I sighed and put my hand in my heads. "Then you're just going to have to learn to deal with it because things aren't about to change."

He didn't say anything for a long time and eventually I went and lie back down on my bed. After a few more minutes he lay beside me. "I guess I'll have to but I hope they'll change eventually." He was almost whispering now, though it he was real close.

I looked at him, inches away. "Why?"

"I just don't like that guy, okay?" I sighed softly. If only I could find some way to make him understand. I wasn't going to tell him what I knew though because he wouldn't appreciate me taking Nathaniel's side and I was afraid to fight any more. So we left it at that, and put it behind us.

Sonya remembered that they stayed there talking a while longer about random things. She had asked him when Amber had fallen in love with him. He told her it was something when they were little but he didn't know why. Sonya found it odd, she hadn't really met neither Amber nor Nathaniel till high school but Castiel told her it was because she hadn't been there that day. Otherwise he didn't know them either. Amber remembered him though and stayed obsessed.

Funny how she ended up having another reason for Amber to hate her. She was best friends with the guy she was "madly in love with" and dating her brother. Sonya guessed she couldn't exactly blame Amber, but still, the girl was pretty outrageous at times.

So yea, Castiel was a good friend to her, always had been. Sonya also thought about how Rosalya had hinted Sonya being jealous over girls with Castiel. That was absurd because she was his best friend and had no reason to be jealous. Things have never been that way at all and they weren't about to either. The two looked out for one another against anyone. It would always be that way. Always.
