Rising sun.

The past should stay the past.

Cas' P.O.V

"I can't do it, Charlie, he hates me enough." I groaned, rubbing a nervous hand down my face.

She leant across the table to patt my hand, "Have you decided what you want yet?" Dean asked, I nodded over at him.

"Do you guys know wh-CASTIEL?" I heard a shrill, familiar voice scream. I shot my head up, grinning when I recognized Jo's face.

"Hey Jo" I laughed, as she pushed Dean out od the way so she could get to me, pulling me into her arms.

It all fell into a sadder atmosphere as jo started crying, gripping the back of my shirt desperatley. "Where the hell haven't you been?" She cried, slapping my arm, and I instantly felt bad sor how I left.

"Charlie help me." I squeaked as Jo was still hitting me.

Charlie laughed, "Jo, leave the boy alone." Jo stood up straighter.

"No, you have no idea what it was like Castiel. When you left, what we had to walk in on. We had no idea where you went, if you were okay" she finished her voice trembling.

I started shaking my head, "I'm sorry Jo, but I had to leave, I had no over choice" I whispered looking don at the table. Jo, who was practically sitting a top of Dean, interupted me. "Cas you could of said good bye Mom and I thought you were dead." Jo whispered.

Dean wiggled underneath Jo, who squealed and just only noticed him. "Who is this Cas?" She asked, getting off of him. Dean grabbed my hand squeezing softly.

"This is Dean, Dean this is Jo" I explained smiling at Dean softly.

Jo sat across from us, beside Charlie. "Heya Charlie." Jo laughed.

"So, Cassie got himself a boyfriend?" Jo giggled.

"Stop it" I muttered, my cheeks flushing. Dean chuckled, and leant over to kiss my cheek, "Aww, poor Cassie, gettin all embarrassed." Dean finished, kissing my neck.

"Castiel?" I heard from the kitchen doorway, I sighed, I was getting sick of all the reuniting. I got up and walked over to hug Ellen, my adoptive mother of sorts.

"Hey Ellen, I missed you" Ellen smacked my arm, all the time I've known the woman I have never seen her this teary in her life, as she clutched me to her chest. "Where the hell have you been boy?" she said, her voice demanding, and a little protective.

"Kansas, Charlie and me went to Kansas, I majored in art and I'm sorry I never called, I knew if I called you'd want me to come back here." I said, pulling away.

"Yeah, and he got himself a boyfriend" Jo said, I turned around to flip her off when Ellen grabbed my arm, "What's this?" She demanded, I looked down.

"Nothing, I broke my arm, no biggie." I said, smiling at her, before going to pull my arm away.

Jo walked over to inspect the damage as well, "Don't give us that Cas, especially with the way you left." She said shortly, and the look on her face nearly had me flinching. "Lucifer pushed me through the sliding doors last night." I said, looking down at my shoes.

Jo growled and spun around angrily. "Where were you?" She asked Dean, I tugged on her arm, "Don't pin this on him, he wasn't there" I said. "Why don't I go and get us some coffee, and you can tell us what happened" I nodded and sat back down beside Dean.

Dean's P.O.V

After Cas had told his, what he explained to me on the car ride home, to be his adoptive family what happened, we left for home.

"Cas?" I asked, as we went back up to his room.

"Yes Dean?" He smiled, pushing me to sit on his bed as he kissed trails up my neck, I chuckled and pushed softly at his shoulders. "What were they talking about?"
