    Summary

    "This is a mistake. He should just turn around and leave, drive the 10 or so hours back to Chicago, and just forget about this stupid idea he had of coming back to Lawrence, Kansas, of coming back home."

    Following the death of his parents, Castiel inherits their family home, and is forced to return to the same place he ran away from after years of abuse and neglect.
    Castiel had sworn to leave behind his childhood trauma and the people connected to it, but the past seem to catch up with him wherever he goes.

    He befriends a young child only to learn that she is the daughter of Dean Winchester, his next door neighbor and the guy who used to bully him in school.
    At first, Castiel is reserved, guarded, but soon he learns that people, as well as places, can change over time. Castiel is not the same as he used to be, and neither is Dean.
