How have we come so far

Chapter 3

The spot was an empty building close to the school where the group of highschoolers set up hang out areas. The areas included a few mattresses and blankets for those who want to sleep, a few shelves on snacks and drinks, a study area with school books and computers, a few bookshelves, 3 flat screen T.v's , an xbox, playstation and DVD player. A whole shelf was filled with movies and games. Near the T.V's was 2 large black brown couches, 2 black arm chairs and a large stereo. 2 large dressers sat in the corner of the area. The dressers were filled with spare outfits for the students. On top of the dressers lay small containers of jewelry. The containers were labeled with names and what piercing the jewelry was for. The bathroom of the space had a large shower and a separate bathtub for if they wanted to shower after school. The toilet was in a separate room and had a large vanity as a sink. 2 motorcycles can be heard speeding towards the building followed by a loud truck. The first one to arrive at the building on a purple Kawasaki Ninja was Sam. The next motorcycle was a blue Kawasaki Ninja 300 was Sebastian and he swore as he came in second.

 " How the fuck did you beat me" he yells at his sister a look of disbelief on his face. Sam smirks slightly.

" I left before you dumb-ass" she yells back taking her key out of the ignition and hopping off her bike.

 Damien's truck is the next to appear and everyone gets out. Christopher is the first out and he immediately goes to Sam's side putting an arm around her shoulder. Sam snuggles into his side smiling. Jackson is the next out and he holds 2 large bottles of vodka.

" Who's ready to party" he yells out taking a sip from on of the bottles in his hands. His face scrunches up slightly as the burning liquid trailed it's way down his throat. His face relaxes and a warm feeling sits in his stomach.

 Wednesday is the next to leave the truck and she holds a bottle of tequila. She waits next to her now closed door and finally gets out of the truck. He gets out of the truck with a bag in his hands. The bag is full of multiple packs of cigarettes and has a small bottle of sprite and Jack Daniels. Damien puts his arm around Wednesday's shoulder and sighs in content. The group of friends walk towards the entrance of the building. They walk in and immediately go towards the couches. Sam walks slightly away from the group towards the room with the mattresses to grab a blanket. She sees a lump under one of the blankets and slowly approaches it. She cautiously pulls back the blanket and she breathes out a sigh of relief. She sees the sleeping form of two of her best friends Imani Johnson and Adam Noel. Imani is hugging Adam around the waist and is laying on his chest slightly. Sam giggles under her breath and puts the blanket back around them. She pulls out her phone and takes a quick picture of the two. She smiles lovingly at them.She goes to the closet in the corner of the room where spare blankets are kept. She opens the closet and sees 3 different pairs of shoes. She sighs slightly and grabs an armful of blankets. She brings them to the couches and takes her shoes off. She grabs Chris's arm and drags him off the couch. 

 " What the hell SAM!" he cries out in alarm almost dropping his lit cigarette. Sam smiles slightly at  him. 

 " Come on!" Sam says loudly grabbing his cigarette and putting it in her mouth. Chris looks at her a loving look in his eyes. He slightly bites his lip as he stares at Sam. He willingly follows Sam towards a room in the back.

 They end up walking into the bathroom that has the shower. When the enter the bathroom they see a white and red speckled shirt. They turn a corner and find themselves looking at the bruised form of one of their friends. They see the bruised face of Castiel Mikaels staring at himself in the large mirror they have on one wall. His shirt was pulled off and large black bruises cover his chest. He hears footsteps approach and he slowly turns around. Sam gasps as she looks at Cas's black eye and busted lip. She starts to walk towards him slowly a concerned look in her kind eyes.

 "Cas babe.. Was it them?" she says softly before putting a hand gently on the taller boys shoulder. Concern filled her face as she looked at the normally cheerful face of one of her friends. 

 He flinches slightly and then nods. Sam wraps her arms lightly around Castiel's waist and he hisses slightly in pain. She releases him and steps back slightly. Chris walks over to the two thoughts filling his head at lighting speed. 

 " This is messed up Cas.. They can't keep doing this. Let's tell my parents and stop them" Chris worriedly tells his close friend running a hand through his hair. He starts to lightly pace around in the small space the were in.

 " I can't. You know why I can't" Cas whispers softly before wincing as Chris puts an arm lightly around his shoulders. Sam releases Cas and goes to a closet in the corner of the bathroom. She grabs a towel,a few bandages and some peroxide.

 " Let's clean the cuts hun" Sam says softly to her fragile friend. Castiel slowly nods and closes his eyes in anticipation. Sam puts a small amount of peroxide on the towel and lightly dabs his back. After she cleans the cuts she lightly places bandages on them. She kisses the bandages lightly and gave her friend a small smile. Castiel weakly smiles back at his close friend as she showed him more love than he had known in a long while.

 After she finishes cleaning the cuts she smiles sadly at her two boys. Without saying a word Sam grabs both Chris and Castiel's hands and drags them to the living room. Castiel's hand is lightly held to avoid causing any more pain to come to the bruised and broken angel in front of them.

 Jackson is sitting on one of the couches and he looks up when he hears footsteps. He looks up and gasps slightly as he sees Castiel's face and chest. His eyes fill with tears slightly as he looks at the younger boy. His chest filled with brotherly concern as he watches the three young teens. A sad smile sits on his lips as he looks at the injured form of the angel of the group. 

 Sebastian walks out of the kitchen when he hears the gasp and he clenches his jaw. He looks at the bruised chest of his little brother and rage fills him. He clenches his fists by his sides and starts to breath heavily in anger. Rage fills his eyes and he turns to the way. Sebastian punches the wall multiple times. After he punches the wall he leans his forehead against it breathing heavily in anger. Sam slowly starts to approach her brother a cautious look on her face. Sam sees the bloody hole and the look on her face is unreadable.
