Heather supported Meg as they walked to the ICU. As soon as they headed for the door, the guard stepped closer to them.
“I cannot let you pass” he said strict. “Not unless you’re close family”
Meg looked desperate at Heather who pulled her shoulders. Meg looked back at the guard. She couldn’t believe what she was going to say, but she did anyway.
“I’m his girlfriend”
“Five minutes” the guard said and he opened the door. Heather let go of Meg; she knew she had to stay outside. The guard closed the door behind Meg and Heather walked to wall and leaned against it.
Meg shuffled to the bed Cas was lying in. His body was attached to all kinds of machines. She had never seen him so helpless. Why had she left him alone? Why did she have to go to Heather? What had it gotten her? Nothing, except a shot wound and Cas being beaten to death. Tears filled her eyes, but she forced them back and swallowed to remove the crop in her throat.
She took his hand and produced a faint smile. “If this was a movie, you’d pinch my hand now” she said softly. “Unless it’s Snow White or Sleeping Beauty and I have to kiss you back to life. I think you would like that” she smirked nervous. “Or maybe it’s Beauty and the Beast and I have to tell you I love you…Which is never going to happen, because I don’t love you”
She sounded like she tried to convince herself more than Cas. “See what’s happening? I’m rattling about stupid fairytales” she said, looking up at Cas’ pale face. “You have to wake up. I’m going insane without you”
The door opened and the guard appeared. “Time’s up”
“Just give me a second” Meg replied. She took off her necklace and put it in Cas’ hand. She bowed her head to his ear. “So you’ll know I was here” she whispered, before she turned around and left Cas alone.

Since there was no way any of them was going to get any sleep, they packed their bags and loaded the Impala. Dean placed himself behind the wheel, Sam sat next to him and Meg on the backseat.
“First stop: Pontiac, Illinois” Dean said, as he started the engines and drove ahead. As they drove Dean turned on the radio to break the silence.
Meg stared out of the window. She felt utterly powerless. Had she still been a demon she would’ve just zapped herself to him. But then maybe she wouldn’t have felt this way and she wouldn’t even bother to go find him.
Maybe this was a sign. Maybe she was supposed to let go and go back to her old life.
No!, she reproached herself. You’re not going back to killing for fun. You didn’t get this far to throw it all away. You’re going to find Cas and get him back.
“Everything okay, there?” Dean asked.
“Yeah, I’m good” Meg replied with a mischievous smile.
