Earning My Wings. Destiel High School AU.

Chapter Seventeen.

It wasn't until a month later that everything started to fall.

The bullying started to get worse.

Dean and I have been kind of distant lately.

Sam and Jessica broke up.

I haven't got a letter from my brothers in a few weeks.

Father was keeping something from me and its scaring me.

I took out my phone and decided to text Dean.

Hey.

He replied a few minutes later.

Hi.

What's wrong?

It's nothing, Cas. I can't talk right now though. Getting ready. I'll see you in a few.

I sighed and didn't reply. I was already ready for school so I didn't have anything else to do.

It's getting close to the end of the year, thankfully.

I've been holding back a lot of my urges lately. Like I said, the bullying is gradually getting worse. Dean is always there though. He doesn't let them get too far.

Dean.

We haven't been around each other for a while. I haven't had more feathers come out.

Are we falling apart?

Lord, I hope not.

I heard a honk outside and so I grabbed my bag and walked outside, saying bye to father before shutting the door and getting into the back of the Impala.

"Morning," I mumbled.

"Morning, babe," Dean said with a smile. I smiled. He hasn't said that to me in a while.

"Morning, Cas," Sam said with a sad smile.

The ride was silent. When we pulled into the school Jessica was standing there with tears running down her face.

Sam immediately got out and hugged her close as if it was instinct.

I got out and grabbed my bag and started to walk away from them because I've gotten used to just walking away lately. Dean never seems to want me around so I don't bother him.

I felt a hand wrap around my wrist, spinning me back around.

"Where are you going?" Dean asked.

"To class," I told him. His grip loosened slightly.

"Why? You never just walk away," he says confused. I felt my heart sink.

"Dean, I've been walking away for almost a month now. Have you really not noticed?" I asked with hurt laced through my voice.

His grip loosened more and realization filled his face. He dropped my hand and bit his lip.

"Wow, I'm really sorry, Cas," he tried.

"It's fine," I told him. It was. It really was, I just was hurt.

"Okay. I'll walk with you then?" He asked. I smiled and nodded. We were about to start walking when we heard Sam crying. Dean's head whipped around and I looked back to see Sam staring at us with wide, red eyes.

"Sammy!" Dean said, grabbing my hand and dragging me back.

"Dean," he breathed. Jessica was still in his arms and she turned around to look at us.

"Dean, I-I'm pregnant," she gasped out. My eyes went wide as did Dean's.

"What?" He whispered. "Sammy?" He asked her in shock. She nodded and he just stood there.
