Feeling uncomfortable and strange Cas decided to take a walk around the park. It was as if a hundred butterflies were fluttering in his belly.
“You don’t look so good, man”
Cas turned around and looked serious at Andy. “I don’t feel so good, either”
“You need to use the bathroom?” Andy asked slightly concerned.
“That won’t be necessary” Cas said. “I just have a bad feeling”
Andy nodded in understanding. This wasn’t the first wedding he attended. It wasn’t exactly uncommon for the bride or the groom to be nervous.
“Look, man, I’m sorry about last night” he said. “Lincoln was really pissed about his hand, you know”
“I don’t understand why I get the blame for this incident. He tried to hit me. The blame is on him” Cas said cold.
“Yeah, I know, we were just messing with you” Andy said. “But, hey, no harm done. It was just to welcome you to our family”
“Apology accepted” Cas said and he reached out his hand, which Andy accepted. As soon as Andy was holding Cas’ hand he pulled him closer and whispered: “No one’s forcing you to say yes. You can still walk away”
Cas jerked his hand and frowned, but before he could ask for an explanation, Andy said: “I think you should go. Daphne won’t wait much longer”
He walked away and left Cas behind, who was now even more confused on what to do.

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”

Dean was outside, leaning against the cabin, when Jo came standing next to him.
“You look happy” she said sarcastic.
“It sounds weird, but right now I wish Dick Roman was still alive” Dean said. “I have too much time to think”
“You want me to call mom? I think she knows a few ways to fix that” Jo commented.
“Where is she?” Dean asked.
“To the city, doing groceries” Jo answered. She looked up. “Did you hear from Cas? I mean, that’s why you’re so neurotic, right?”
Dean shook his head. “I don’t want to talk about it. He’s had his chance, he blew it. I’m done with him”
“Have you tried talking to him?” Jo asked.
Dean leaned forward and kissed her. “No talking about Cas” he said.
“Okay” Jo agreed. She threw her arms around Dean’s neck and kissed him back. Dean lifted her in his arms and carried her inside the cabin.
