(Castiel ' s POV )

" California? " I asked staring wide eyed at Dean. He smiled and nodded. " That is. ....That's ........I .......thanks" I finally mumbled.

" That's what I'm here for babe ...and besides when we first started dating, you always told me about your dreams of going to California. " I gawked at him.

'He actually paid attention to that......that was forever ago.........I can't believe it. ......He actually remembered'

"Whatcha' gawking at?" He smiled. " Did you think I would forget..whatdaya take me for? " I chuckled nervously. He smiled. It was perfect. Just then my phone rang loudly making me jump. I fished it out of my pocket and looked at the caller ID: Dad. "Don't answer it Cas. He's only gonna upset you." I nodded and put it back in my pocket. A few seconds later it vibrated. I looked again and saw I had a text.

Dad: Castiel I'm not upset with you. ...Please  answer the phone I'm getting worried.

"What does it say?" Dean asked. Worry lacing his tone.

"It says he's not upset and that he wants me to answer the phone...what should I do?" I looked up at him and he shrugged.

" Maybe just answer it........and If it starts to get heated ....... hang up." I nodded slowly dialing his familiar number with ease.

"Castiel Novak!  I was so worried! Are you okay!" It sounded as if he'd been crying all night.

"Yeah Dad I'm fine."

" Where are you? Are you safe? Your mother said you left with Dean and Bobby."

" Yeah Dean took Me to Bobby's. .. .but we left this morning."

"Where did you go?"

" California"

"Castiel!  Why? You can't just leave!" He sounded worried again and that broke my heart.

"We won't be gone long Dad. Just a few days. Dean and I thought it was better to get a little distance until things smoothed over with mom ya know? " He sighed. 

" I heard what she said to you cas.....and that was beyond wrong of her. " He paused to take a sip of what I assumed to be whiskey.  " And I want you to know when she called me I Immediately got on the road. And when you get home were leaving."  My heart sank.

" Dad.......no" I looked at Dean. He had a slightly confused and slightly terrified look on his face. " We can't leave......I'm NOT leaving."

" Castiel-"

"No I said no! I'm not leaving. I refuse to leave the only person I love in this fucking universe!" He sighed again.

" We'll talk when you get back."

"No." I whispered but he didn't hear me. He had already hung up. Dean pulled into a motel and rented a room. He layed with me all night while I cried into his chest. He never said a word. He just let me cry.

'It's all over' I thought to myself as I drifted off into peaceful sleep in his warm loving arms.
