Chapter 22 - Time For a Change

(Cas' POV)

I'm sitting in the car because I told Dean I'm too afraid to face his Dad. He had looked pretty angry when Dean came out to him earlier, so who knows how he's feeling now. Sam is the one who wanted Dean to come to their house, but their dad is probably still there.

When I came out to my Mom, she was really accepting. Gabriel had helped me come out to her because I was too afraid to do it. Since that day, my family has been so accepting. It made things easier on Gabe when he had finally came out too.

"Are all of my sons gay??" Was our mom's response to Gabe coming out. She was obviously joking around.

"Hey!" Ezekiel shouts, "I'm not!"

We all laughed at him.

I guess our family gets along pretty well, so that's good.

(Dean's POV)

Since Sam really wanted to me to come home for some reason, I did. I've never let my little brother down before, and I never will. Hopefully my dad doesn't try to start anything. I'm so sick of him right now. Cas doesn't even want to come inside because he's afraid of my dad now. Well, fuck you dad.

"Dean!" Sam shouts once I walk through the front door.

"What is it?" I walk further into the room.

"Well, there is some serious discussing that needs to happen."

"And it couldn't have been done over the phone?" I raise an eyebrow. He can probably tell, just by the irritated tone in my voice, that I'm still upset about earlier.

"No," he shakes his head. "Then you wouldn't believe it."

"Believe what?"

Sam looks down at the ground, "um, well... Please don't hate me."

"Hate you? Why would I hate you?" Then I started thinking my dad might have something to do with this. "Where's dad?"

He doesn't say anything, and that's when our dead walks into the room, a look of shame on his face.

"What the hell?" Obviously I'm kind of angry. "I don't want anything to do with you, dad." A bit harsh, I know. But after earlier, it doesn't matter how I sound or whah said to him.

"Son, I wanted to apologize." He says.

"Apologize?" A little more anger now. "Dad you basically kicked me out just because I'm bisexual!"

"I knew, but.. I don't know." He shakes his head. "Dean I'm sorry."

"Sorry? You're sorry? Yeah, well, I don't believe you." How could I, after what he did? Parents are supposed to support, love, and accept their kids no matter what.

"And I don't blame you."

"Just listen to him, Dean." Sam says.

"Why? I don't really want to hear anything he has to say." I begin to turn away.

"Dean!" Sam grabs me by my arm and pulls me back. "Would you just listen to what he has to say? Then you can decide to believe it or not, you just have to listen!"

Why does Sam have Dads side, and not mine, after what he did?

"Please, Dean. I really am sorry. You're my son. You two boys are all I got left.." He looks down at the ground, probably thinking of our mother.

Now I feel a little bad. His words actually started to sound real, and believable. But now I just don't know what to say.

This really isn't my dad at all. Why is he acting like this? His words seem so believable, but knowing him, it's hard to say if I can actually believe any of it. My dad has always been an ass. Ever since my mom died at least. Not around much, drinking problem, judgmental, horrible father..
