In Case You Need Me

Prologue: Since the day I fell in love

As my best friend Castiel kneels to the ground, nearly soaked wet due to the rain, I see it. The little puppy that hides under the park bench.

I'm amazed how careful my best friend cares about it. Even if he told me he wasn't interested in things like friendship, I still think there's no human being out there with a bigger heart than him. Castiel reaches in the pocket of his jacket and the puppy smells the reward he's brought for it.

But just as it wants to come out of his dry hiding place, Castiel aprubtly turns toward me and his poisongreen eyes find my scared ones.

My heart pounds like crazy. Fearing. I'm scared of what he'll do to me now, maybe I also fear my own reactions. I only know that I'm running, deeper and deeper into the forest. Passing so many trees that I get tired and get the feeling I'm running in circles.
As I look around, the treetops above me are so thick that there's nearly now sunlight reaching me. I'm cold in the middle of the summer holidays.

Playing with the thought to turn back I realise I could never show myself like that. My hand clings to a bough by herself and heaves the rest of my body up the tree, much farther above.
I never was especially sporty, as well because of my weak bone structore. There's no illness what so ever, but my bones are weaker than normal ones without me doing anything to deserve this.

Nevertheless I reach the top, where I first rest a little bit before leaning my head to the trunk of the tree.

The more silent it gets, the more tired I become.

My heartbeat is being silent and according as if I'm in some kind of Stand By Mode. I know I'm too clever to fall off 4 metres hight when i'm asleep, I don't quite trust myself.

"If she's asleep for once, you won't get her to wake up before next years beginning!", my mother jokes in my mind and I blush just thinking about that old memory.

If I'm worn out in Castiels presence he often uses that chance to steal away or make a fool out of me. He isn't just unfriendly but also violent. Of course he is still my best friend for whom I always will be the annoying neighboor hood girl. Of course.

But I adore him. Many talk really badly about him. Castiel doesn't care about things like these, though he's knowing about the person who spreads these weird rumors. Not because he's not interested, but because he wants other to choose freely what they think about him.

A long time ago he skipped class at the first lesson after graduating from elementary school. My neighboor Hino had been talking trash about him before the teacher has been arriving and everyone else agreed on her theories. That day I had slept on my math book until the lesson started.

In our break I searched for him and found him in the shadow of a tree near our sports field. Castiel sat leaning on the wall.

I didn't talk to him but I saw his eyes that constantly looked at one girl playing tennis on the court looking as natural and beautiful as nature in itself. From then on I decided to befriend with him.

He taught me to just change my life if it gets boring or colourless.

"If you want to have fun, then go. Have fun. Life exists so you can live it to its full expenses, right?", he said once.

As I think about him I feel myself getting sleepy. But...on a tree?

Slowly I climb down and lean against the tree trunk on the ground. Close my eyes.

The longer I close them the windier it gets. My short hair tickles my face but I don't care about it.
I woukd...just sleep for a short while...just a bit.

So I sleep.

But of course fate decides to wake me up, in big pain that is.

"Iihk!", my mouth screams before I can even open my eyes. Somebody has pulled me up by my hair and is pressing me against the tree. I'm scared but loosen up as I smell Castiel. Burnt like ash, but minty and also like rain and I want to smile all of a sudden.

Leaves are tangled up in his hair and his eyes give me a sense of danger.

"Just one word about the dog...", he begins and leaves the rest of it to my fantasy. But I can imagine it perfectly fine. Nodding my head I swallow the sour taste in my mouth. He finally lets go of me and I'm sinking on the ground like a weightless leave.

I can feel him staring at me. "What?", I murmur, "I won't say anything already. You can trust me, alright?"

He didn't reply so I decided not to stop talking. Maybe I was hoping we would grow closer like this.

"The others might all think you're an idiot. Hell, maybe you are. But I'm not them. Could you just stop thinking about me and you as enemies?"

"Just stand up already!", he barks and I heave myself up.

The feeling my knees could just... knick away any moment is getting to me. Castiel must have read it in my face, because he holds my hand and forces me out of the forest in highspeed, without looking at me for just once.

My heart is pounding loud again, faster and faster and louder. Soon it starts aching more than my body.

Faster and faster and louder.

Fearing. Of course.
