Chapter 12
The End
Dean woke to the sound of Sammy knocking on the door and yelling "Dean get your ass up." Dean groaned as he rolled over noticing the empty space next to him. In Cas's spot there was a black rose and a letter that read:
Dear Dean,
I am sorry I left like this but I knew it would be too painful to say goodbye in person. Meg has returned and she will be taking me back to the hospital. I wish I could stay with you forever but it's not safe for you or me. I would just be a burden on you and Sam, and I know that I've been fine around you but I am still unstable. I know that you will fix me; I know you will find a way. Dean…you are the love of my life and the moments we've shared the past few days will be with me always. Be safe my love.
Your black rose
Cas
Dean cried as he read the letter, knowing exactly why Cas choose a black rose, because he was Dean's beautiful mess, his beautiful dark mess.
