Thanks DeathsRain and Fire Rage7 for following my story! …wait…why do you two have names with similar meaning? APOCALYPSE! AAAAAAAH! GRAB YOUR WIFE AND CHILDREN! Well…maybe not the wife…we don't need her bitchin' while zombies are walking around…on second thought don't grab the kids either…annoying little bastards… grab the husband…I guess…NO! KEEP THE SPOUSE! THEY ARE ZOMBIE BAIT! YEAH! CARRY ON…

Castiel sat on the floor of the cockpit of the plane with his face buried in his hands. His mother stepped in with a blanket and a pillow before crouching next to him.

"Here, Cassie. I know you're tired, especially with what all just happened."
She held the blanket out to him, but he shook his head and sighed. She looked over to his father, who shrugged his shoulders as he continued to fly the plane. She noticed the plate of food sitting next to him on the floor.

"Sweetheart, I brought that to you hours ago! I want you to eat something."
Castiel stood and walked over to the door.

"Where are you going?"
He sighed and dropped his head.

Nathaniel touched the spot where his father's ring cut into his cheek. A large bandage covered it, but the pain was still there. He shook his head before continuing to wash the dishes that never stopped piling up in the restaurant. Just as he finished the last one and was about to leave after three hours of overtime, a new set of dishes came in.

"It's the last bunch for the night," the manager sighed.

Nathaniel stared at the mountains of dishes and sleepily nodded before getting started. He hated this job, but he needed the money. He'd been withdrawn from school and kicked out of his parents' house. He was tired and hungry, and wasn't sure how much longer he could go sleeping in his car. An hour later, he scrubbed the last dish and was on his way out when the owner of the restaurant called him into his office.

"Nathaniel, you seem like a pretty smart guy and I know you have the best chance of success in whatever career you choose. Since you're so good at what you do, I've decided to give you a promotion."
"Promotion?"
"Yes. I have a cousin who needs help on the job. You'll make double what you do now and work the same hours."
"Well…yeah! What's the job?"

The plane landed and Castiel sat in the back as his parents drove around. His mother continued to try to talk to him, only to get no reaction. That night, he lay in bed staring at the ceiling. He sighed as he thought about Nathaniel. Who knew when they'd see each other next? He could remember their first kiss…the first time they made love…when they started dating…how Peggy ruined everything. That bitch. Castiel swore he would get revenge if he ever saw her again-

DING! DING!
New Text Message From: Aireke

Dammit! He'd forgotten all about Aireke! She was the best friend he had in Sweet Amoris High, and so awesome that everyone friended her on My Candy Love (hint, hint.)
"What is it?"
He opened the text.

"OMG! LOOK AT PEGGY'S FACEBOOK! NOW EVERYONE'S REPOSTING IT! IT'S YAHOO NEWS!"
Castiel groaned. He knew whatever was going on was not good. He reluctantly logged into facebook, almost dropping his phone when he saw the video. Not only was the video from the pep rally being passed around, but Peggy put together a complete gallery of all the photos she'd taken of them with other videos. They'd even become internet memes.

"FUCK!"
Castiel's mother heard him and came running to his direction.

"Cassie?! What's wrong?!"
Castiel punched the wall as his mother picked up his phone. She gasped when she saw what was on the screen.

"Oh my goodness…"
"This is never gonna go away!"
Castiel sat in the corner of the room, overflowing with rage. Newer posts described the video as "the new 2 girls 1 cup" and "the hottest tape of the century." His mother wrapped her arms around him and kissed his forehead as he gripped his hair.

"It's alright sweetheart. We'll start a new life for you somewhere new. Maybe another country."
Castiel cursed to himself. As much as he hated the idea of going back to that shithole, he would do it in a heartbeat if it meant he and Nathaniel could be together.

"We already have a school in mind! It's called Amour Sucre High! It really is a nice place!"

Castiel glanced over to his mother before running a hand through his hair and cursing again.

"Don't curse, Cassie. You'll get lines in your teeth."

She sat next to him.

"You'll like this new place. I promise."

Nathaniel eagerly shook the restaurant owner's hand after signing the documents. Under this new deal, he could work for twice as much AND they would help him get back into school. The owner's friend would make arrangements to get all of his scholarships back, too. He would be right back where he left off.

He hurried out to his car and drove to a large empty lot. This was where he'd been spending his nights since his parents disowned him. He stayed in his car every night, showering at a nearby gym every morning. Once in a while, Amber would tell their parents she was going to hang out with her friends when she was really coming to visit Nathaniel. She would bring him food or a blanket to help him through the nights.

The next morning, he was up and showered and on his way to work when he got a phone call.

CALL FROM: MsAsumness

He missed MsAsumness (Miss Awesomeness if you haven't figured out the pronunciation yet). She'd been his best friend since freshman year.
"Hey."
"HI! OMG! Where the hell are you?!"
"Going to work, why?"
"Peggy put all your shit on the internet!"
"What?!"
"The video! Pictures! Everything!"
"What the-"
"Now, I love you enough to tell you the truth. I may have watched it three or four…hundred…times…but YAOI IS NOT A CRIME!"
"MsAsumness!"
"I know I know! I just wanted to be sure you were alright."
"Yeah…I'm fine."
"Good. I figured you'd be upset, you know with Castiel moving away and all."
"He told me a week ago. It sucks but I'll find a way to contact him. He might answer his phone when the plane lands."

"Oh…"
"Yeah."

"Well…I think its time to break the fourth wall again by telling readers that the story is gonna be up to pace and more interesting because I have the plot laid out. All they have to do is stay tuned."
"Yeah. That and realize that I'm the hottest guy on MCL."
"Yeah."
