After A Long Time

As Rick Castle was walking down the street he noticed a poor blind man holding a can, he was asking for even a little amount of money, and Rick always had a soft spot for disabled people so he walk towards the blind man and gave him a tree dollar.

At the very exact time that Rick noticed the blind man, Kate Beckett was walking down the street as well, but on the other side. There was a Star Bucks at the side of the street, she still loved coffee, and walked into the shop.

And as Rick putted the dollars on the can, it suddenly rained, he immediately pulled out his umbrella.

At the very exact time that it started to rain, Kate walked out of the star bucks, then she noticed that it was raining, but she had now umbrella so walk outside into the rain.

Rick was about to walk away as he was waiting impatiently for a taxi, but then he slipped and fell on the ground.

"Ouch!"

And at the exact time that Rick was about to walk away, Kate was walking to the corner of the street, she was all wet and couldn't see that clearly, because rain was on her eyes.

Rick then was about to walk away again, until he bumps into one of his former High school buddies, Matt Hudson and Shiela Morrison, whom he later learns are now married and have 2 kids.

Rick still remembers the time when he was in high school, sometime, like these, it seemed like yesterday to him, but it was a long time ago and they have all graduated and went and live their lives. He too has lived his life, he divorced his two ex-wife's, Meredith and Gina; and he almost dated the love of his life, Detective Kate Beckett who he hasn't seen after he had finished his Nikki Heat books; because afterwards he had to find a new inspiration, which caused a drift between them, forcing him to walk away from Kate. So after that, he now stays home all day long and write some days, but in that morning; his toaster broke, so he couldn't make toast for breakfast, so he decided to go out and eat that morning.

And at the exact time that Rick bumps into his former High school buddies, Kate hurriedly walk to the corner of the street, because she couldn't stand the rain dropping all over her, and just wanted to get a taxi and go home.

Kate has changed over the years, mostly because of Rick Castle; how she remembers him vividly, she misses him ever since he walked away, but it made her a build up her walls again. She had walls before but he broke them down, all of them. After he left she was much more turned to herself, she had not let anyone in again, not Lanie not Ryan, not Esposito, not even her own dad, because she has changed a LOT actually.

So as Matt and Shiela says goodbye to Rick, he just stood at the corner of the street holding his umbrella, and waited for a taxi to come again.

Then Kate finally reached the corner of the street where she waited for a taxi.

As Rick was looking from left to right, he looked in front of him, and saw...Kate. He and his hart froze for a second.

Kate stood there she was cold, because of the coldness ant the rain in the air; she was looking everywhere, then she took a second look in front of her, and across the street was...Rick.

Rick smiled, because he hasn't seen her in years and he misses her deadly.

Rick then quickly walk across the street, with full-joyfulness inside of him; how he just wanted to tell Kate that he's missing her so badly, and if he could do it all over again...he would.

Kate then looked to his right and saw a car driving really fast, but before she could say so...

"CRASH!"

Rick was hit by a car.

You see, maybe if something differently happened on that day...maybe, just maybe, then Rick wouldn't be lying on a hospital bed that afternoon.

Maybe if Rick's toater hadn't broke, he wouldn't have had to go out for breakfast, so he and Kate wouldn't have had to see each other, and Rick might not have crossed the street.

Maybe if Rick hadn't noticed that blind man; he would have taken the taxi which stopped at that very moment; then Kate would have never seen him and never crossed the street.

Maybe if Kate hadn't stepped into the Star bucks, then maybe she would have earlier been to the corner of the street when Rick was giving the blind man a dollar, so he wouldn't have seen him and wouldn't have to cross the street.

And maybe if Rick hadn't slipped and fell on the ground, he would have left, but he did and maybe if Matt and Shiela wouldn't have walked by, he would have left as well, but he didn't; instead he got stuck on that corner of the street where he saw Kate, who then she saw him, and then he walked across the street to talk to her...but got hit by a car instead.

So if anything differently happened on that day, then maybe, just maybe, Rick wouldn't be on a hospital bed now.

But...it happened.

So on that afternoon, Kate was sitting at Rick's room impatiently, she felt guilty, because he wouldn't have crossed that street if it wasn't for her. She just wanted him to wake-up, she just wanted to see his big-bright-blue-eyes, but she got no response; Rick was in a coma with badly injured bruises from the car accident.

"Ohh Rick...I-I've...missed you...you know that."

Kate whispered in Rick's ears, tears was slowly falling down her eyes; she couldn't bare the thought of loosing him again; she seemed okay after he left her, but it was the worst thing that ever happened to her; she never let it out, but every single day for the last 20 years; she was hurting in the inside; it hurted more than when her mother died because he was still a life, she had a chanch to be with him and she didn't grab it, so walked away, al her walls where back and higher and deeper then before, but when she saw him today the walls where gone for a few second

And for Rick it was the same; not having to see her ever again would kill him, given the facts that after he walked away; he has been a walking mess, the last 20 years of his life was complete torture; it was the worst days of his whole entire life, just because he didn't get to see her face.
