Summary: After all that Kate Beckett has been through, this just might be the one thing that breaks her.
Disclaimer: Not mine.
A/N: So, I've had this idea in my head for about 2 weeks and I have most of the outline done and I am working on chapter 1. Hopefully updates will be fairly regular. Chapter 1 should be up within the next few days for sure.
*~*Prologue*~*
Long after everyone walked away, she stayed.
Her knees where wet from the damp grass, staring straight ahead not really seeing anything, tears streaming down her face, unable to process the last year of her life.
Kate Beckett wasn't sure how long she knelt there when she felt a hand gently grab her shoulder.
"Kate, it's time to go." The soft voice of her best friend, Lanie Parish, seemed loud in the silence that enveloped them. Kate closed her eyes and let her head fall forward. She felt Lanie kneel down beside her and put an arm around her shoulders. "Kate-"
"No." Kate cut her off as the tears came harder. "I can't leave." She whispered. Her words came out strangled from the sobs that engulfed her body. "I … can't. I can't …walk… away. I can't go."
Lanie pulled Kate into a hug as tears started falling from her eyes also, feeling the pain of her best friend.
"Shh... it's okay. It's going to be okay." Lanie said, softly knowing her friend had a long road ahead of her.
TBC...
A/N: I know it was short, but I couldn't give to much away or it will kill the whole story. The chapters should be fairly longer :) Review if you like, but I won't hold it (or the next chapter) against you. 2 day wait max for chapter 1 :)
