"D.." Castiel tried to say Dean's name, but Dean interrupted him quickly while coming into the room

"Don't say my name, Cas" Castiel smiled confused

"Why?"

"Because that's what keeps you in trance" Said Dean opening the curtains, it was a happy sunny day, the sun light filled the tiny hospital room "Until Sammy and I figure out how to break this trance properly, don't say my name"

Castiel smiled warm and rested his head back on the pillow "Are you ok?"

"Yes, shouldn't I ask you that?" Said Dean sitting on a chair close to Castiel's bed "You are the one that had a collapse"

"Yes, but you look like you need to sleep" Dean smiled, he was outside the whole night waiting to see Castiel again

"I couldn't sleep… I was worried about you, Cas" Said Dean holding Castiel's hand, Castiel squeezed it lightly with a smile on his face

"I'm sorry"

"About what?" Asked Dean confused

"I left you, I broke my promise…" Dean smiled and kissed Castiel's hand

"It doesn't matter, it was my fault too"

"D" Said Castiel interrupting himself "It's difficult not to say your name, while I'm talking to you…"

"Don't worry, I can fix that" Said Dean kissing Castiel forehead "I'll be back to see you, I swear"

"Thank you" Whispered Castiel while Dean left the room 'Please don't give up on me' Thought Castiel while closing his eyes.


"Your name!" Exclaimed Sam sitting on the couch "That is really smart"

"I know Sammy, how do we undo this?" Asked Dean closing the apartment door, Sam just arrived to discuss about Cas's trance

"Well, you could change your name" Said Sam chucking, Dean ignored Sam and punched him in the shoulder

"No jokes, bitch"

"Ouch! You jerk" Said Sam after a pause "That's it!"

"What?"

"Don't you see Dean, you just gave me an idea!" Said Sam standing up "The doctor told you, Castiel need to question himself and he will realized he is under a trance and wake up, right?"

"Yes, so?"

"So you need to tell him you don't love him anymore"

"What?!" Shouted Dean "Do you want another punch, Sammy?"

"Dean, look" Said Sam smiling "You need to shock Castiel, they hypnotized him to resist your love for him, right? Then all you gotta do is give up on him"

"I would never do that!"

"Exactly!" Said Sam smiling wider "You just need to pretend, take it from me"

"Sammy, if this makes him goes crazier, I'll kick your giant's ass!"

"Trust me, Dean" Said Sam dialing in his mobile

"What you are doing?"

"Calling Rachel, I'll give her the impression you are giving up on Cas"

"Sammy, she will be pissed at me!" Shouted Dean "Are you crazy?"

"No, we need to fool her too"

"That's better work, Sammy" Said Dean sitting on the couch 'Why can I have a normal relationship?' Though Dean


"You son of a bitch!" Shouted Rachel storming in John's office, Dean was talking to him father when she interrupted "What kind of man it's you, Dean?"

"Excuse me" Said John confused "Rachel are you ok?"

"John, your son is a dog!" Continued she crossing her arms, Dean smiled nervous 'Sam, you gonna pay for sick-ing your girlfriend on me"

"Slow down young lady" Said John standing up "Dean, what is that all about?"

"I really don't know, dad" Said Dean feigning ignorance

"You want to dump my brother!" Shouted Rachel angrily "He needs you, and it's you goddamn fault that he is in the hospital to begin with!"

"Dean, is that true?" Asked John sitting down again

"That's not true… entirely" Said Dean nervous "I'll just realized we are growing apart"

"You dog!" Said Rachel turning away "You'd better talk to him about it, Dean!"

Rachel stormed out in rage, John smiled and asked

"What are you up to, Dean?" Dean smiled boy-ish

"Why can I hide anything from you, dad?"

"Your dad is smart, son" Chucked John "You can fool everybody, but me"

"It's all Sammy's fault, Dad!"

"Ok, what you brother told you to do now, Dean?"

"It is a long story, Dad"


"Cas, good afternoon" Said Rachel waking into his room

"Rachel!" Said He surprised "I thought you would be working right now"

"I took a day off to see you"

"Come on closer, sit" Said Castiel pointing to the chair, Rachel sat and continued

"Are you and he getting along?"

"I guess we are, despite everything that happened"

"That's good" Said she smiling nervous 'I need to tell him…' thought Rachel 'but if I'm wrong?'

"You are quiet, is something wrong?"

"No, I was just wondering… if things don't go work out with him, I have a friend or two that are single"

"Rachel?" Asked Castiel suspicious "Is there something you aren't telling me?"

"Of course not, Cas" Said she trying to feign ignorance "I'm just saying that he isn't perfect, I'm afraid he hurts you… That's all"

"Don't you worry, He said he loves me"

"Love doesn't last, Cas… Remember when you told me love doesn't exist?"

"I was sad that time, Rachel, it doesn't mean it was true"

"But it doesn't mean that it isn't, Cas" Said She grabbing her hand, Castiel smiled sadly

"I'm sorry you feel that way" Said Castiel closing his eyes "I'm not sure if it would be something bad after all"

Rachel caressed Castiel's hair and thought 'I know that Dean will hurt you, Cas… And I can't do a thing to avoid that, I'm so sorry, Cas'

"I still feel, strange, Rachel" Continued Castiel smiling "Those last few days were confusing, I don't know what is right or wrong anymore"

"I know that you've been though many hard situations this moth Cas" Said she resting her head on his chest "I'm be here for you, Cas, that what's family for right?"

"Thank you, Rachel… I couldn't ask for a better sister"

"You know, Cas… I always admired you"

"Really?"

"Yes, you were the one that used to fight Michael even when he was right" Said Rachel chucking "I've always loved the way you would stick up for the weak"

"I was one of then, Rachel" Chucked Castiel "It isn't that hard when you are weak yourself"

"I don't think so" Continued she smiling "It's harder to heal than it's to kill, that's why everybody likes you… You are like a…"

"An angel?" Asked Castiel chucking

"Yes, an angel…" Chucked Rachel "An angel of Thursday"

"That's seems fitting, since my birth was on Thursday" Laughed Castiel

"Father would be proud of you!" Whispered she
