Chapter Text
“You are going to this party, Castiel! You need to get out there, and get a girlfriend or something!” Anna, Castiel’s best friend said over the phone the day before the party. Anna was a very popular girl. She had everything and anything she wanted. The only thing she didn’t have was a boyfriend, and that was only because she just dumped him.
Castiel well, he was nothing like that – at all. He didn’t talk much or fit in. His only ‘friend’ was Anna, and she just kind-of hung onto him because of Castiel’s brothers. He had 4 older brothers; Michael, Lucifer, Balthazar, and Gabriel.
Michael was a sophomore in collage. Lucifer was a senior, Balthy was a junior, Gabriel was a sophomore and Cas was a freshmen all in high school. Anna had always had a crush on Gabriel, but Gabriel was never interested.
“Anna, I already told you, I don’t do parties…” Castiel spook getting into his bed. It was only Thursday and he did have school the next day. “Okay Castiel, if you go to this one party, I will make sure it’s the best night of your life. Then, you don’t have to go to another one ever again, and ya never know? I could talk to some of my friends and you know…” Anna’s voice went off slowly and Cas didn’t understand. “I don’t know…” She laughed in the background in his response.
“Cas, I could get you hooked up or even better!” She shouted. Castiel looked down at his chest rising and falling. “Better…? Like what?” He looked around his room, and bit his lip.
“Sex Cas!” Anna yelled and laughed hard from him not understanding. Castiel blushed; he was still a virgin. “Oh…” He whispered, more to himself than her. Anna stopped laughing. “You’re a funny one, Cas. Now, do we have a deal? Or are you just going to sit in your room and play with yourself all night?” Castiel gasped.
“I-I’ll go! Fine!” He shouted. The blushes on his face couldn’t have been redder. He had only played without himself once in his life; he just didn’t think like all the other boys. He didn’t even think about girls at all; he was full on in the closet, gay. “Great!” Anna said, almost hearing the smile in her voice. “We all are meeting at my place, then going over to Ruby’s. By the way; Ruby is single and ready to mingle…if you know what I mean.” She must have winked. “Okay, I’ll—I’ll be there.” Castiel mumbled.
“Alright Cas, you better! Well, goodnight!” She hung up the phone, and Castiel dropped his phone on the floor. He rubbed his eyes and turned off his light. He wasn’t ready for tomorrow, and certainly not ready for a party.
Castiel walked out of school that day, with his book-bag over his shoulder, walking to Anna’s house. He had promised to go, so he was. He wanted to make Anna happy.
“Hey Castiel!” Cas heard from behind him. He looked over his shoulder, spotting a small Asian boy; this was Kevin. Kevin was supposed to be in 7th or even 6th grade, Castiel didn’t really know. The kid was smart, but seemed it be friends with everyone. He didn’t have any bullies like Cas had. Castiel always just thought it was because Kevin was the smart kid that would let everyone copy his homework, he didn’t care.
“Are you going to the party, Cas?” Kevin asked with a smile on his face. Cas nodded, not the best at socializing. Kevin was always smiling; he had never seen the kid frown. Cas and Kevin walked all the way to Anna’s house, as Kevin talked about his day. He said he wasn’t to go to this party, but he wanted to. All his friends were going to be there and although his parents said no.
They made it there, the last people. There were mostly just couples there or ones making some. They all fit in Ruby’s small car somehow and the party began at 4. Ruby’s parents were gone and she knew they wouldn’t care anyway. Bela and Gadreel were making-out in the corner. They were the so-called ‘couple of the year.’
The music was up loud, playing some dub-step Castiel didn’t really like. Kevin was over by the chips and drinks. They had some alcohol, but only a few where drinking it. He was talking to Charlie who was a nerd like him. Charlie wasn’t as much as Kevin in book smarts, but she was more than him in the media. She was a huge Star Trek fan.
Castiel was sitting on the couch, looking at everyone. Anna was talking to Benny, who was one of her ex’s. She was probably planning on getting back together for a one-night stand, as she usually did. Garth walked over to Kevin and Charlie smiling, and started talking to them. That didn’t surprise Cas; Garth was a nerd too.
He noticed Lilith and Ruby, talking to each other, smiling. They were pointing at Castiel. He didn’t know if they laughing or if Anna had told them something. Castiel didn’t want any girl getting in his pants, but he didn’t want anyone to know he was gay.
Hours went by before Anna was over talking to the 2 girls and pointed over to Cas. Next thing Castiel knew, Lilith and Ruby were walking over to him, sitting on the couch next to him. Ruby pulled his arm close to her breast and winked. “Hello Castiel…” She said in a hush tone. Castiel nervously looked at her and noticed the girl to the back of him was rubbing down his arm, and kissed the back of his neck.
She whispered in his ear, something that he couldn’t here over a person yelling, and people shouting “Yeah!” in the background. Apparently they were going outside, even though the only light source came from the light post on the side of the road.
Ruby dragged his arm and Lilith came behind him as everyone ran outside. He hoped someone had shut the door, although they seemed to be the last ones out. There was a park that had been abandoned by kids that was back there. The light posts didn’t work, and no one had been there in probably years.
So many trees had grown in front of it; it was hard to even know there was one there. Bela and Gadreel where on the swing together, making out. Bela was straddling into him about humping him with her hips. Benny and Anna were kissing on the other swing too, her red hair going over his. Anna let her legs hang off the swing, but she was still sitting in Benny’s lap.
Charlie was sitting on the ground, back of the woods, talking to Kevin and Garth. Castiel was sitting on the bench, getting pulled a kissed at by 2 girls. He didn’t want to be there anymore, he wanted to leave. Lilth was sucking on Cas’s neck, and Ruby and rubbing up his pants leg, changing to get him to lay back.
The girls seemed to be mad, but Castiel wasn’t noticing that. All he was noticing was a shadow figure behind Charlie. Then he realized it was a woman, with a bat in her hand about to swing it. Castiel was about to jump out and save her, when he heard a scream from the swings.
Anna was on the ground and Benny was being hit. 2 men were standing over them with a broken pipe and a gun. Bela was the one that had screamed. Castiel jumped up, and heard a scream from behind him. The second he looked back, he saw another figure.
Next was blackness and throbbing pain from his forehead.
