Hope (Destiel High School AU)

Chapter 28 - Home

(Dean's POV)

I had no memory of being with Castiel, but there was something inside of me that knows how I must truly feel about him. The problem is, is that it's not telling me about it. When I saw him sad, it hurt me. When he smiled, it made me happy. I didn't want him to leave my side. I didn't want him to stop smiling or talking to me. All these feelings, they're there. My heart remembers him, well, us, but my brain doesn't. And that's killing me.

Castiel laughs at something he says, telling me about us. His beautiful blue eyes twinkle, showing sincere happiness, and that gives me a little hope. I mean, if he believes in this, in us, then I do too. Well, for the most part. It's just weird because I have no memory is us. I only remember meeting him.

"It was a fun night," Castiel blushes, telling me about our night at the hotel.

I smile, "it sounds like it."

His smile fades when I say, "I wish I remembered it."

I probably shouldn't say that, or anything like that. It obviously upsets him, and I didn't want that.

"Yeah..." He sighs, and grabs his phone which had just went off. "It's Charlie."

"Charlie? Who's.." I stop because he looks up at me, with those sad, innocent eyes.

"Charlie is my best friend..." He starts texting, portably respond to Charlie.
"Dean?"

"Yeah, Castiel?"

"Do you remember my brother?"

"Um..." I try to think but nothing corns to mind. And I guess the look on my have was enough to tell him what my answer is.

"Of course you don't. But he's dating Sam."

"Really? Wow. We both got ourselves a Novak." I chuckle.

He laughs too, but I can tell it's fake.
Ugh, this all frustrates me. I wish I could remember being with him...

*Three Days Later*

The hospital finally releases me. I stayed here longer than they told me I'd be here.
The doctor, and my dad had to help me up out of my bed but my stomach hurt and my leg stung a bit. They put me in a wheel chair, but I will also have crutches, so Sam grabbed those for me. The doc gave my dad a prescription for meds I'll have to take, and said I'll have to have this cast on my leg for quite a while. He also said I should stay in my bed for the rest of the week, but I can go back to school on Monday. He said it wouldn't be the greatest idea, maybe too overwhelming since I'm having trouble remembering, but he said it might help me out too.

When we get home, it's just Sammy, my dads and I. Castiel went home yesterday because his mom didn't want him missing anymore school. He tried to convince her to let him stay longer, but since I'm awake and basically fine, she wanted him home for school today. He told me that he's come by my house though, and hangout for a bit. To be honest, I kind of can't wait.

My dad and Sam help me up the stairs to my bed, and I start to fall asleep within a couple minutes after they leave my room. Maybe one of the pills I took made me sleepy...

*Dream*

Castiel and I are parked in an empty lot at the park, by a big field all around. It was just open grass. There were a couple trees all around too.

"Come on!" I say, grabbing Castiels hand and leading me along.

We stop at the center of this open field and I shakes out a blanket before laying it on the ground. Then we lay on it together, in each other's arms, as we look up into the sky.
