*Castiel's POV*

I wake up to somebody pounding on my door. Groggily, I get out of bed and walk to the front door. After looking through the peephole, I unchains and unlock the door.

"What do you want, Gabe?" I ask.

He pushes the door open and I back up. "Check your Instagram," he tells me.

I groan, walking into my room and grabbing my phone. I walk back to the couch and sit down next to Gabe. After pulling it up, I hand my phone to Gabe so he can show me. He taps on my screen a couple times before handing it back to me. It's a picture of my ex, Ezekiel, and a girl. The two of them are on a Ferris wheel and the girl has an engagement ring on. At the bottom of the screen I see a comment.

@lisabraeden: The ring is prettier than the one @deanwinchester had given me <3 love u Zeke

"Who's Dean Winchester?" I ask. Quickly, I tap on the photo and see that Lisa is the girl, since she's tagged. Then I lock my phone, so the picture isn't on the screen anymore.

"I think it's Lisa's ex. Not quite sure," Gabe tells me.

"Why are you showing me this?" I ask. "Zeke cheated on me with her, Gabe."

"Because I wanted you to see how much of a liar he was. You shouldn't be upset about him leaving, you should be angry. He wasn't right for you, Cass."

"I just don't understand why he couldn't tell me he was straight before being with Lisa. I'm hurt because he couldn't trust me. Then he lied when we were together. I hate liars," I tell him.

I lean my head on Gabe's shoulder and sigh loudly. My phone buzzes when a notification lights up my screen.

@hannahangel: I'm so sorry @castielnovak I hope you're okay

Why is Hannah talking to me? I open the notification and the photo from Ezekiel's page shows up. I lock my phone and put it on the coffee table.

"You're not gonna answer her?" Gabe asks.

"If you can't tell, I'm still tired," I tell him. "I'm only up because you're here."

"Well you can go take a nap, I'll just watch TV till you get up," Gabe says.

I roll my eyes before grabbing my phone and heading to my room. I get into bed and my phone buzzes. A new email?

Hey, Castiel. That's your name, right? I just wanted to say I know what you're going through and if you need someone to talk to about it, I'm always free to chat. Lisa was my ex, she cheated on me with Ezekiel. I had no clue, either ~ Dean Winchester

I sigh, thinking of what to respond with.

Hey, Dean. Yeah, it's Castiel. I guess we can talk. At least someone understands what I'm going through. Not that it's a good thing she cheated. Ezekiel and I were together for two years. Then one day everything changes. He told me he got a promotion at work, and that meant he would have to work more hours. I believed him for three months, until one day I called his office. Ezekiel told me he was going to be away for a week because he was attending multiple meetings that were at least three hours away from our home. I called his office, because all he did was leave a note. I wanted to get more information about the trip and about his promotion, so that I could know what to expect in the future. The company told me that he never got a promotion, and there was no meeting. I waited until he got home to talk about it. He said he realized he was straight, not bi, and he didn't know how to tell me. Wow, I just realized how long that reply was. Sorry ~ Castiel Novak
