Bullets and Brain Damage

Chapter 1

Cas's POV
I'm sitting nervous in the diner, when my parents come in.

"Cas! Oh my word we were so worried!"

My mom hugs me and I hug back. I start crying.

"I never should've ran away, I'm sorry mommy,"

"Shshsh, it's ok Castiel. Don't be scared. Come on, let's just go home."

I take my moms hand and we get into our car.

"You worried us very much Castiel." Mom says.

"I'm sorry mommy! I just didn't want you two to fight anymore!" I say.

"It's ok Castiel. I promise we won't fight anymore." Dad says.

I smile. "Thank you daddy!"

My dad smiles at me and drives us home. When we reach home my older sister Anna and my little brother Gabriel come rushing out. Anna hugs me.

"Castiel we were so worried!" She says.

"I'm sorry Anna, I didn't mean to worry anyone, I just wanted mommy and daddy to stop fighting!"

Anna hugs me again. "It's ok Castiel. It's ok."

I go inside and I go upstairs to my room. I turn out the lights and turn on my light up stars. I sit on my bed and watch them until my mom calls me for dinner. I run downstairs and I sit at my spot at the table, in between Anna and my mom. We all hold hands, as my dad likes to pray before meals. After he's done we start eating.

"So Anna, how are your college classes going?" Mom asks.

"They're going great Mom. Castiel here should join me, he's smarter than the professor." She says, chuckling.

My mom frowns. She doesn't like talking about me going to school.

"Anna, you know why he doesn't."

"Mom, he deserves too! You can't keep him locked away forever! He's got to have a life at some point!"

"He has a life and its with us, right here, at home!"

"Here's miserable! He ran away earlier today because he couldn't stand it!"

I put my head between legs and cover my ears. I don't want them to argue.

"Now look what you've done! He's stimming out! Castiel stop it now!"

I immediately sit up.

"Mom, you can't keep forcing him to stop! It's not good for him!"

I start to do it again, but Mom throws me a glare.

"Naomi, stop! He can't help this!" My dad yells.

"Can't help this?!? It's his body Chuck! He's in control! He can stop it!"

"Stop, just stop! No he's not! He has a disease Naomi, and if you can't accept that, then leave!"

"Fine! I will!"

Mom storms upstairs, dad follows her, and I start crying. Anna hugs me, and Gabriel and Samandriel are completely silent.

"It's going to be ok Castiel,"

"No it's not! Moms leaving and it's all my fault!" I rush out of her arms and out of the house, for the second time today.

Dean's POV
"Let's see, why am I gonna kill you? Oh right. You come home every night drunk, you beat your wife, starve your kids, and are just an all around douche."

I pull the trigger and send a bullet into the man's head. A woman comes in, and hands me money.

"Thank you, for, killing my husband." She says.

"This ten thousand?" I ask.

She nods, but starts crying. "I did love him. But he just didn't love me anymore. Raphael..... he used to be a good man..."

"Yeah well, most of the bastards start out that way, Lanette."

I wink at her and walk away. She never said her name, but I always do research on my bosses. I walk out to my car, a 1967 Chevy Impala.

"Hey Baby, it's time to go home to Sammy."

I drive a couple states over back to Kansas, and to my house, where my little brother Sam is waiting for me.

"Dean!" He hugs my leg. I'm 6'1 and his barley 5 foot.

"Hey Sammy, how you been?"

"I've been great! Ellen and Bobby are great! Ellen makes the best salads!"

I laugh. Sammy's a freakin health nut.

"Wanna watch Hawaii Five-0 and order some Chinese?" I ask him.

"Yes please!"

I turn on the Netflix and order the Chinese and then I get a call, on my phone reserved solely for clients.

"Oh dang it, work. I'll be back in a minute Sammy!" I say.

Sam doesn't know what I do. He thinks I'm a manager at a business.

"Who is this?"

"My name is Zacheriah. I have a proposal for you."

"Yeah? What's the deal?" I ask, watching my language.

"There's a man named Chuck Novak. He has a son, Castiel. Target him, kill him."

"How much this deal worth?"

"I'll pay you $20 thousand up front, $50 thousand when it's done."

"Alright, I'll meet you at Ellen's Roadhouse, tomorrow, five o' clock. Be there it be square."

I hang up and go back into the living room, but the doorbell rings.

"I'll get it!" Sammy rushes past me and opens the door.

"Sammy wait-"

"Delivery for Winchester?"

"That's us! Thanks Mister!"

Sam takes the food and runs off. I chuckle and pay the man.

"Little brothers. Thanks... Gary."

The boy just shrugs and walks away.

"Sammy you gotta be more careful! What if that was some mass murderer?"

I've made a couple enemies with this job, none of them friendly. If any of them come after Sam though, well, they're dead meat.

"Sorry Dean, I'll be more careful."

I chuckle and pat his head. "It's ok buddy."
