Sam was worried. Dean had stayed in his room all weekend- he didn't even come out to take Sam on his first trip to Honeydukes like he promised. He tried to find Cas, but it was like they had both disappeared.

Sam went to find Charlie, maybe she could help.

He approached the red head with caution.

"Hey...um...Charlie."

Charlie grabbed Sam by the collar.

"Sam- where's Dean? I haven't seen him all weekend! Is he hurt?"

Sam sighed.

"I don't know, he's been in his room all weekend, and I haven't seen Cas either, I think they got into a fight."

"About what?"

"I don't know, but I saw Dean talking to Balthazar earlier, maybe he knows something about it."

Charlie's eyes widened.

"He was talking to Balthazar! Let's find that cocky son of a bitch!"

She approached Balthazar, with a look of intense fury.

"Balthazar!"

"Red."

"Shut the fuck up- we know you were talking to Dean. What did you say to him."

Balthazar smirked.

"I talk to lots of people."

Charlie rolled her eyes, and punched Balthazar in the face.

He pinched his bleeding nose.

"Ah, you bitch!"

He yelled.

Charlie flashed him a sarcastic grin, grabbed him by his tie and asked again.

"What did you say to him?"

"I just told him about the night that Cassie and I spent together."

"Cassie? You mean Cas?"

Charlie loosened her grip.

"I've heard some people call him that, yes."

"But why the fuck would Cas spend the night with you...especially when he and Dean were planning to.."

Charlie stopped herself.

Sam was standing right there, it wouldn't be appropriate to talk about his brother's sex life.

"Listen, Cas came on to me, things just sort of happened.."

"You're lying- Cas would never do that."

Balthazar grinned.

"Yeah, well Dean believed it."

Sam frowned.

"Why would Dean believe that Cas would cheat on him?"

Charlie sighed. She knew about Dean's self esteem issues- everyone who knew him knew. But Sammy remained oblivious, and she didn't have the heart to take that away from him. She wanted to let Dean be Sam's superhero.

Charlie tapped Sam's shoulder.

"We should talk to Cas."

"Why? Now we know that nothing happened."

Charlie placed a hand on Sam's shoulder.

"I'm not so sure about that."

Charlie and Sam made their way to the Hufflepuff dorm, luckily a second year was just about to enter, so Charlie 'convinced' them to let them in.

They were both speechless, they couldn't believe the sight in front of them.

Cas was slumped on the bed, curled up in a ball, weeping.

"Cas- what happened?"

Sam asked, going over to Cas and patting his back in an attempt to comfort him.

"Why don't you ask Dean!"

Cas cried.

"Cas, Dean doesn't know what really happened."

"What?"

"Balthazar told him some story about you coming onto him."

Cas sighed.

"But why would Dean think I'd cheat on him?"

Charlie chimed in,

"Because he doesn't think he deserves you!"

She screamed.

She went over and pulled Cas into a hug, Cas collapsed into her arms and cried over her shoulder, wiping his tears on her robes.

"What did Balthazar do to you?"

"Let's just say...I'm not a virgin anymore."

Cas whimpered.

Charlie gasped.

"Oh Cas, I'm so sorry!"

Charlie cried with him.

Sam gave them a puzzled look.

"I don't understand, how can Cas not be a virgin anymore? He didn't sleep with Dean."

Charlie sighed.

"Balthazar raped him."

She shuddered as she said it.

"What's rape?"

"It's when someone forces someone else to have sex with them."

Charlie explained.

"It's wrong. And it's something no one should ever go through."

Sam went over and gave Cas a side hug.

Cas draped his arm around Sam's back.

"I'm sorry Cas."

Cas gave him a small smile.

"That explains Dean's reaction."

Charlie's eyes widened.

"What did Dean say."

"Well he told me that he knew everything- but he obviously didn't- I expected him to comfort me, but he just yelled at me, he accused me of he called me a worthless piece of shit-"

"-He What?!"

Charlie screeched.

"It's okay, Dean opened up to me, he thought I broke his trust, he doesn't like to be vulnerable in front of most people- and he thought I ruined that."

"Yeah, but Cas, that must have hurt like hell."'

"Well I kind of des-"

"I swear to god if you say you deserved it I will cut your throat!"

Charlie screamed.

Cas looked back, shocked.

"Jeez. Okay, well, there's more: after dean said this, I got so upset, I hit him."

"You What?"

Sam chimed in.

"I hit him."

Cas said, regrettably.

"Well it's all well and good feeling sorry, but we need to explain all this to Dean."

The three of them traipsed over to Dean's dorm.

"Dean, are you there?"

Charlie called out.

No answer.

They walked up the stairs with trepidation.

"Dean!"

Sam cried, prodding Dean, who was laying on the floor.

"He must have fallen asleep."

Sam said, slapping Dean across the face, in an attempt to wake him up.

Charlie's eyes widened, and she screamed with horror as she noticed a puddle of blood on the floorboards.

The blood was flowing from Dean's wrists.

All Charlie could do was point a shaky finger at the growing pool of blood before dissolving into tears.

"DEAN!"

Cas cried, kneeling over him, cupping Dean's face his hands, his face streaming with tears.

"Dean..." Cas whimpered, holding Dean's lifeless body against his.

"Charlie...what's happening?"

Sam blubbered, Charlie rushed over to him, knelt down and gripped him tightly, crying over his shoulder.

The room was covered under the suffocating blanket of a thick, deafening silence.
