Truth or Dare ~ A Destiel High school AU

Chapter Seventeen:

-Two Days Ago-

Castiel's POV
Lunch was the better part of the day, as it usually is. "Hey Charlie. How come Gilda isn't here?" And that's when everyone turned to me with a look that was practically universal. It meant 'you-shouldn't-have-fucking-said-that' Charlie shook her head. "Guys, guys it's fine". She paused until the group took their eyes off me. "She um. Kinda cheated on me." She added a nervous laugh and that's when the group looked at her. Even Kevin looked up from his textbook to join in on the you-lying-ass-little... She muttered something along the lines of 'if looks could kill' but looked back at us with a grin. Believable but no one grins like that with tears in their eyes unless they're happy as hell.

"When was this??" I ask.
"At some party- she said she was drunk and thought it was me she was kissing."

"And you look nothing like Dorothy." Kevin supplied.

My eyes widened. "She didn't."
But Charlie nodded.
"She did." But don't worry. I'm sad but like she was only using me for my money.
"You're broke." Benny replied.
"And that's why she left." Charlie grinned-for real this time.
"Besides. That was awhile ago. I've got a new girl."
"Damn you move on real fast." Benny stated. Charlie smiled and climbed on the tabletop and sat down.
"I knew. It seemed too perfect. But it's fine. I found someone else and she's amazing. Human and stuff."
"So when do we get to meet her?" I ask.
"Actually, we've already met her. Kevin introduced her to Char- she's in the same AP class as him." Benny explained. I nodded, noticing how much I've missed. Charlie must've caught on because she invited me to dinner with a bunch of them.
"Benny and Kev guys will be there and you can meet Jo too, she works there."
I perk up at the name.
"Jo?"
"Yeah, you know her?"
"She's a real good friend of mine- I didn't think this place was such a small world." I reply.
"Well, even though you already know her, you are welcome too come anyway. Oh and Dean'll be there two so you can bond and all that."
I don't try to correct her or tell anything about the complicated situation surrounding Dean. They are long time friends and they probably already know about what happens to people he dates. So I smile.
"Great. I've been meaning to get to know you all."

-Present Day-

Dean's POV
He wasn't crying. He wasn't sobbing. His eyes just watered. And when he blinked they came rolling down. People do that sometimes. They don't like crying so when they might they just avoid it. Or try to. Until the dam breaks and there is nothing we can do except support them. But what hurt me the most was that he wasn't able to hurt- to break in front of me. Maybe it's because I'm the one who broke him.
-•-•-•-
The normally cool room seems so stuffy and I have to shove the blankets off my makeshift bed- I made Cas take my actual bed. I'm trying to focus on just the steady breathing of Cas to help soothe me to sleep. It's working, for the most part. Except for the fact that I can't actually sleep. It's been what seems an hour of me tossing and turning, trying to find a comfortable position to sleep in but it's no use. There's too much on my mind and the source is soundly asleep in front of me. Maybe he won't notice. I manage to crawl in bed with Cas without waking him. It's too much to wrap my arms around him so I just lie beside him.

Sometime around two in the morning Cas shifts and I fear he's waking up. He twists his body to face me and I hold my breath for what reason I really don't know. He's the one who wraps his arms around me and nuzzles his face against my chest. He's got this small smile and I swear I melted right there. He's so fucking adorable and I rested my chin on his head, kissing his hair. "I'm so screwed." I mutter, before my eyelids start to shut- managing to dose off finally.

Today I'm hanging out with Charlie and her squad to meet her new girlfriend. Charlie invited Cas which might not be a good idea at the moment but she's happy and I want to leave her like that. We both get dressed in silence but I want to say so many things but none of them even seem plausible. I'm the bad guy in his story and bad guys aren't allowed to give their side of the story. For one, it'll look like lying my ass off because I'm not supposed to have feelings even though I defended him. He leaves the bathroom and sits next to me on the bed. "We aren't going to bring this shit up tonight right?" He asks. I nod and agree. It would bring down the mood so fast. He faces me but doesn't say anything. I suddenly notice how close he is to me. I'm staring at the different hues of blue in his eyes when he quickly turns away blushing. He's got a hint of a smile on and I feel a bit of hope coming back. Can huffs a breath and utters "You were a shit boyfriend." He leaves and closes the door behind him.

I fall back on my bed. Well. At least he doesn't feel like it's too soon to look back and laugh. But that means I'll just be a memory for him.
