"He didn't break me Cas. He didn't." Dean tried to sound strong, he tried to make Cas believe it as much as he did himself. He had to believe he was just damaged...not broken. If he was broken then there was no hope for them or for him.

"Yeah...it hurts...yeah...it's raw and unfair. He took something from us both...but at least we're both still here. At least we survived and he's gone." Dean didn't comment on the fact that Cas could have stopped it. He didn't like to think that it could have been prevented but it was Castiel's stubbornness that prevented that. "Right?" His green eyes glistened slightly and he looked over at his angel afraid Cas would leave him again.
