The letter
Post ep story for 3/22 To Love and Die in L.A
Disclamier:I don't own anthing as you already know :P
Kate paid the taxi driver then turned around to look at her apartment block, still thinking About the letter, the letter than Michael Royce, her mentor, had in his pocket the day he died. She had read it constantly over the past couple of days, it words of wisdom coming from her mentor helping her through the job of catching his killer. But the part she thought the most about the comment Royce made about castle. Everyone lately was saying the same thing, that she and Castle have something special. Kate smiled to herself as she stepped into the elevator, thinking about Castle's sleeping face on the plane.
She thought allot about what if's, and again Royce was right, there were allot of what if's on the subject of Castle. Kate stopped in her tracks as she unlocked the door to her apartment, did she really want to have what ifs and regrets running her life? Though she knew it was pointless to, she started comparing castle and Josh. For starters Josh didn't even know how she really liked her coffee. She continued on as she un-packed and ran a well needed bath. She was about to undress when there was a loud knock at the door. Kate did her belt up again and went to the door. She opened the door slowly her hand hovering over the drawer which she kept her gun.
"Josh" she exclaimed and stepped aside to let him in, "I wasn't expecting to see you tonight" "I bet you weren't" he cursed his breath. Kate shook her head as she removed he thought that Josh would even say that. She was about to offer Josh a drink when he spun around to face her, " did you ever think of telling me that you and writer boy went off to LA together!" Kate could see the hurt and betrayal on Josh's face before it was overcome by anger. She stuttered to try and explain herself, telling Josh that Castle was just being a good friend, helping and supporting her as she broke the rules to find her mentors killer. He grabbed her wrist as she tried to step back.
She cried out but Josh still didn't let go. Twisting out of Josh's vice like grip Kate knew then and there that if Josh couldn't understand her motives for going to LA, and that Castle being there wasn't planned but still appreciated in a friend way, nothing more, (Kate Beckett may be allot of things but a cheater was not one of them) she knew that Josh and her were over.
Kate crossed her hands protectively in front of her chest as she continued to retreat to a safe distance away from Josh. "I guess we're over then" she sighed. "No, wait….Kate?" Josh exclaimed. "You don't understand Josh and you never will" Kate continued "I can't stay in a relationship with you knowing that you don't trust me". "Your stuff will be downstairs by tomorrow morning". Josh shook his head but didn't argue. He stepped up to Kate a kissed her lightly on the cheek; yet she still flinched. "You can just come and pick up your stuff while I'm on shift tomorrow "Josh stated as he pressed Kate's spare key into her palm then walked silently out the door.
