He may have been shot in the chest, but he'd died long before from a broken heart.

I pull in my drive through, when I see moving trucks next door. 'Huh.' I think. 'Someone must've moved in from the whole other side of town.' I get out of my car and close the door. I walk over to the hedges that divided the houses and wave at the man in a trench coat carrying a small box. "Hi, I'm Dean Winchester, the neighbor." He turns and plainly says, "Hello, I'm Castiel Novak. Pleasure to meet you Dean."
"Need any help with boxes?" Castiel smiles politely. "Thank you, but I'm fine. I only have a few more boxes." With that he enters his house. I shrug and go to my front door, opening it. I walk in and set my keys on the coffee table, slipping my shoes off. I go to the kitchen and put a ramen cup in the microwave.
The lights start to flicker. "That's strange. That isn't supposed to happen till 10:30 when they turn all the electricity off." The microwave beeps and I take out my ramen. I eat at the breakfast bar in silence. It's been lonely since dad died and Sammy ran off. He was the last man to try to scale the wall, and hasn't been seen or heard from since. I still don't know if that means he succeeded or he failed.
I finish my ramen and go upstairs to my home office to work on my self-evaluation. I always hated those things. As I'm typing, there's knock on my front door. I get up to see who it is. I open the door and see it's Castiel. "Hey. Watcha need?" He bites his lip. "Um.....my power isn't on yet, so I was wondering if you had any candles I could borrow, so I'll be able to see in my house?" I smile. "Yeah, sure. I got a whole box of Yankee candles I got from when I moved in. I'll go get them." I go to the coat closet and take out the box of candles. I walk back over and hand the box to Castiel. "Here ya go. You'll only need them for tonight. They should have your power on by tomorrow."
Castiel thanks me and heads back to his house. I go back upstairs and continue my work. Around ten, I finish, and go to bed. The predictor clock I have says it's prediction of what tomorrow will be. "Tomorrow will bring change." My eyes shoot open at that. Nothing around here changes much. Change is trouble. I toss and turn in my sleep that night, not getting much sleep due to my racing thoughts.
