Chapter 1. Prologue/ Chapter 1
Hi everyone! I just started on this new idea for a story. But I think it's a One Shot… idk. Maybe I'll continue… You tell me.
Kate woke up. She turned around to 'his' part of the bed. Only… it wasn't his part of the bed anymore. She had broken up with him, and now she realized she wasn't even sad about it. She smiled to herself, got in the shower and got dressed. She took her coat and grabbed her phone and her keys and ran you the door. She was going to get herself some breakfast at her and Castle's usual spot. After everything that happened, she still loved the coffee and it didn't feel weird coming here without him. At first, she found herself giving not only her order, but also his. But she always realized it too late and drank it herself.
But all of this sadness was going to change today. Today was the day she was going to call him. She was going to call him after 3 months of silence to each other after that dreadful day. She wanted him back into her life, she needed him back into her life. Not as her lover. No, as her friend. Maybe later she would give it a shot, but for now, just friends would be nice.
She found herself picking up the phone a million times before finally hitting the call button. She was sitting in central park and she had walked around for a long time now deciding what to do. She listened to the tone as she sat on the swings imagining him next to her. She listened as the call went to voicemail… What? So she tried again. Nothing… again! And she tried again… but still nothing. This time she decided to leave a message.
"Castle… eumh, it's me… Kate. I- I wanted to talk to you. I know I need to explain a lot. I wanted to meet you… I don't want to have this conversation over the phone seeing how we- I mean I left you hanging. I'm sorry. But if- if it's not a good time, I guess I can wait a few hours. Talk to you later?" And then she hung up staring at the screen of her phone. He'd never let her go to voicemail. But she would wait a few hours. That was the least she could do, seeing that she left him waiting for a phone call for 3 months.
Last time she wasn't ready to face him, and his confection. But this time she wasn't in the hospital. This time she didn't have a boyfriend anymore. This time she broke up with him, Josh, because of Castle. This time she knew what she wanted. And what she wanted was him. She wanted Rick Castle. And she wanted him now more than ever.
So should I continue or… I know it's short but if I continue with it, chapters will be about 1500 to 2000 or more words long.
