Zoey parked her car in front of Daphne’s house. She tapped the wheel, waiting for Cas and Daphne to get out as quick as possible, so she could drive away as soon as she was legally allowed to. Her nose really hurt and Daphne wouldn’t let Cas heal her.
“Before I get out, there’s something I need to say” Daphne started and Zoey had the feeling that whatever her sister was about to say it wasn’t an apology.
“I’m going to change the locks” Daphne said. “I know you still have a key of the house and I can’t have you sneaking in each time you feel like it”
Zoey shook her head in disbelief. She searched her pockets and conjured a key. “Don’t bother” she said cold and she threw the key at Daphne. “Here’s your key. I won’t be dropping by anytime soon”
Without saying goodbye Daphne got out of the car and ordered Cas to do the same.
“I’m sorry” he mumbled to Zoey, before getting out. He followed Daphne inside and while she took her phone and dialed a number he read a note someone had stuck on the cupboard door.
‘Hope you like your new kitchen. Love, Meg’
Cas smiled weak and put the note in his pocket, right before Daphne entered the kitchen.
“They’ll be here tomorrow” she said, waving the phone. Cas grabbed the phone and smashed it against the wall. “What’s wrong?” Daphne asked.
“I’m going to bed” Cas said short.
“What? It’s not even six o’clock yet. We didn’t even have supper yet” Daphne protested.
“I’m not hungry” Cas said. “You’re an awful cook anyway”
Daphne slapped him in the face. “Don’t ever say that again! I am not a bad cook!”
“I didn’t say you were bad, I said you were awful” Cas said insensitive. Daphne slapped him again…and again…and again. She kept slapping him until Cas grabbed her shoulders and pushed her ahead. She hit the window in the living room and landed hard on the drive.

Cas stroked his hair and tried to keep his breathing under control. Meg didn’t understand. He needed more. He had lied about the pain being back, but he hadn’t lied about needing another dose. He opened the upper buttons of his shirt, suddenly feeling feverish.
He hurried to the dresser and opened all drawers and cupboard doors. He searched through them, checking all boxes, finding nothing. He slammed everything shut and began to rub his fingers again.
“If I were a medicine cabinet, where would I be?” Cas mumbled trembling and out of breath. He ran to the stairs and sprinted upstairs. He went to the bathroom and opened the mirror cupboard.
“Got it” he said, sighing relieved and he grabbed all boxes that had medicines in it. He took out all the strips and swallowed the pills one by one.
He leaned against the cold, marble wall and sank down on the floor. He closed his eyes and fell asleep.

The next morning.
Cas was sitting in the court room. The judge had sat down and ordered everyone to follow his example.
“The defendant may stand up”
Craig poked Cas to let him know he had to stand up.
“Castiel, you’ve been accused of pedophilia of the four year old Alexia Moore” the judge said.
“I didn’t do it” Cas said desperate. He searched the room to find Sam and Dean. They were in the back. Jo wasn’t there. Cas didn’t blame her. They didn’t know each other that well.
“There’s enough damning material to believe the opposite” Daphne’s attorney said.
That comment caused mixed reactions. On one side there were those people who believed Cas was guilty as charged and who wanted him convicted. On the other side there were those who thought he was innocent and they were not pleased with the words of the attorney.
“Silence” the judge said and he knocked with his hammer.
“Your honor, if you allow me, I’d like to summon my first witness”
