Earning My Wings. Destiel High School AU.

Chapter Twenty-Five.

I had gotten into Dean's car that morning and I hadn't spoken a thing.

Dean was worried and so was Sam. I had told Sam to stay up front so it wouldn't look suspicious.

"Cas, babe," Dean looked back in the mirror. I looked up at him from my hands in my lap. "Are you okay?" He asked, Sam looking back at me now.

"I'm fine, Dean. Please stop asking," I told him politely. He sighed, but obeyed.

We pulled into the school and Sam got out. I didn't though and neither did Dean. We sat there in silence, me still in the back.

"We don't have to do this if you don't want to," he said suddenly, his voice filling my ears.

"I don't want to because I know that I'll be alone, but I want Anna off my back," I admitted. He got out and opened the back door before sliding in next to me and shutting the door.

"I understand that, but I also know how you are. I don't want you to start..." He trailed off and looked down at my arms. I immediately started to mess with them.

"I-I would say I won't, but I don't know if I will or not," I said truthfully. Suddenly, his hands were on my face and he was staring at me.

"If you ever feel like it, tell me. Please. I don't want to lose you," he whispered, pressing his lips to mine. I pulled away from him quickly though and he looked hurt, but mostly confused.

"I'm sorry, Dean. I just feel like if I don't start distancing myself now, I won't be able to," I said before getting out of the car and walking the other direction.

I had tears in my eyes, but I couldn't let people see. I felt my phone vibrate in my pants, but I ignored it.

I walked into school with my head down, hearing the normal comments I heard everyday, only they seemed to be louder than normal. It was like people were shouting them at me even though there wasn't even anyone saying anything towards me.

I walked into my first period and put my head down. I took a deep breath, only to have a pain shoot up my back for a split second and there was something tickling my back.

I reached under my shirt only to pull out another black feather.

I put it in my lap and stared at it before grabbing Gabriel's feather out of my pocket.

Survive this for Gabby.

By lunch time, I had been told by Dean to sit by them, I was already a mess. No one noticed really, but I couldn't get Gabriel out of my mind, nor the fact that I'm about to have to watch Anna steal my boyfriend from me.

"Hey, babe. How's your day been?" Dean's voice caught me off guard and made me jump before I actually looked at him. "Are you okay?" He was worried.

"I'm fine, Dean. It's been good, yours?" I asked, changing the subject.

"It's been pretty good. The usual, people just calling me names out of spite," he said.

You don't know the half of it.

"Anna! Hey!" I heard Jessica call. I instantly put my head down on the table. I felt a hand on my back before Dean was whispering in my ear.

"Cas, c'mon. I want to talk to you," he said. I took a deep breath before getting up, waving at Anna slightly, before following Dean outside.

We had walked around the corner of the building and I leaned against the wall. "Yes?" I said, looking at him. He looked troubled and guilty.

"Cas, I know you hate this thing we're doing with trying to get Anna off your back," he started.
