"No I cant- I-"I looked around in an even bigger panic before.
"What is it Dad?"Gabby was standing in the doorway. Claire must have been just to the side.
"Uh-"Castiel glanced at me before slamming the door in his daughters face suddenly.
"What the heck Dad?!"Gabby shouted through the door.

"I cant do it. I havent been in her life for 8 years I cant just barge in now I mean the last time I saw her was our mothers funral and- fuck,"I started spinning around, looking for a place to hide because Gabby wasn't leaving. She was pounding on the door.
"Just a second honey!"He called.

"Frank, this is your little sister. If you make this decision, you've got to make sure its the right one. Because you cannot walk in and out of a little girls life constantly because you're not sure if you made the right decision,"Samantha looked at me seriously.

Gabby had stopped pounding on the door. There was a second of silence before she asked,"Is that guy named Frank?"
"Shit,"I hissed.
Castiel looked at me for confirmation. I took in a deep breath and nodded.
"Uh yeah there is honey..."

There was silent for a moment before Gabby shouted out in pain and the door rattled in Castiel's hand.
"Let me in there!"She screeched. Castiel took a deep breath before opening the door.

Claire must have been leaning on the door because she fell down into the room at my feet. I was completely frozen. Her eyes were on my shoes. Then they slowly travelled up until she reached my face.

"Fr- Frank?"She grabbed a hold of my leg and pulled herself to her feet. I was still frozen, unable to speak or move. I was screaming at myself to do something.
"Claire do you know him?"Gabby walked in, rubbing her arm.

"I-"Claire stared at me for a second before grabbing the hem of my shirt and yanking it up to see my chest.
"Claire! Oh my god!"Gabby cackled.
"Holy mother of god,"Claire took a step back, letting my shirt drop back down to cover my tattoos.

"I- I- uh-"A strangled noise came out of my mouth. Claire was actually in front of me. After 8 years of not seeing my baby sister who I loved with all my heart, she was standing in front of me and I was fucking frozen.

"Fuck its actually you Frank!"She screeched suddenly. In a flash I was staggering backwards as she hugged me. The warmth of her wrapping herself around me pulled me out of my daze.
"Claire,"I choked out. I fell to my knees and held her closely, feeling the tears start pouring out of my eyes.

I don't know much time passed as we hugged. Enough for Castiel to quietly tell Gabby to go back upstairs, Samantha and Castiel following her.
"Frank what the hell happened to you?"Claire whispered finally. I let go of her and looked at her face, memorizing every single detail about her.

Her hair was longer and died black now. Her eyes looked more fierce instead of innocent like they used to be. She had been through a lot since she was younger, a lot of it probably happened in the 8 years of me not knowing her. She was about as tall as Lily was at her age, just below my shoulders. She had a short skirt on and a Green Day t-shirt. At the sight of it I broke down again.

"Frank it's okay. It's all gonna be okay,"She whispered and pulled me into another hug. 9 years ago, it was me comforting her. Me telling her not to worry about a thing. Me hugging her and making sure she felt safe in my arms. And now she was the one taking care of me.

"Claire I'm so sorry. I'm so so sorry,"I sobbed onto her shoulder.
"It's okay Frankie. It's okay. You don't have to apologise,"She whispered.
"No but I do,"I sniffed, somehow managing to bottle up the extremely demanding emotion of 'she's fucking here' so I could deal with the questions she most likely had.

"Frank. Lily explained things to me. When Nana Kat told us you were all dead, we both cried but afterwards, Lily told me that Nana Kat was lying to protect us. She told me to keep it a secret. I wasn't allowed to watch tv for a while after that but Lily told me everything that was happening. She told me who the guy was that you shot at Mum's funeral. She told me you went to prison and she told me that Nana Kat was keeping you from us. You don't have to worry Frank because I already know everything,"Claire was squeezing my hand.

"Claire..."I wiped my eyes and sat down on the couch, Claire sitting next to me,"I'm so sorry you had to see me kill someone at that age."
"Frank. You do remember the whole Dean thing right?"
"I know but seeing your older brother shoot someone at your Mum's funeral isn't exactly easy."

Claire shoved her shoulder into mine playfully,"Stop worrying. I can handle things easy. Right. Ask away,"She smiled widely at me, her eyes smiling at me as well like they used to.
"What do you mean?"
"I can see how desperate you are to know what I've been doing and everything,"She grinned,"Come on just ask. You know I'll tell you everything."

I nodded and wiped my eyes again, taking a second to think about it,"Do you still live with Nana Kat?"
"No. A year before you got out, I was put back in a home and Lily went to a halfway house. I never saw her again after that until I turned 12. Lily found me. She said the system had tried to hide me from her which explained why I was moved around a lot. I always thought it was because I was a brat,"Claire chuckled.

"Anyway, she told me she had gotten a good job and an apartment for us to both live in. Because she was still technically my sister, and she had a steady income and all that shit they let me move in with her,"Claire smiled brightly.
"Wait so Lily-"
"Have you not seen her yet?"Claire looked at me incredulously, flicking her lip ring with her tongue.

"No. I had enough trouble trying to find out which school you go to,"I muttered,"Where does she work? Where do you guys live?"
"A couple of blocks away from here. It's within walking distance of my school and Lily's work. She works in real estate agency. She's pretty good at what she does."

I stared at Claire, trying to take in more of her,"When did you get the lip ring?"
"Oh,"She pulled her bottom lip into her mouth, hiding it from sight for a moment,"A couple of months ago. For my thirteenth,"She smiled at me.
"Lily let you?"I had always remembered Lily not really wanting to have Claire get a lip ring.

"She lets me do whatever I want. So long as it doesn't harm me or anyone else,"Claire sat back in the seat,"She's on Team Free Will."
"Team Free Will...?"That term sounded familiar.
"Oh, don't worry. Just a reference."

"Oh. Do you think we can go and see Lily?"I asked hopefully. Happiness surging inside of me at the thought of seeing Lily all grown up and working in the real world.
"Uhh... I- I guess so. I'm not due back for another half hour..."Claire pulled a phone out of her pocket and had a look at the time.
"Do- I can go hang around somewhere if you want to go see Gabby. You did come here to see her after all didn't you?"

"Yeah don't worry though. She's in my class all day and I'm sure Cas and Samantha explained to her who you are,"Claire slipped her phone back into her skirt pocket and stood up,"Lets go and see Lily then."
"Awesome."
