"You want to know trauma? I was shot in the chest and I remember every second of it!" I yelled at him. He had just excuses to trauma so he didn't have to tell what he knows.
"All this time, you remember," he said angrily. He walked into the interrogation room and grabbed me firmly by the arm. He pulled me out and took me into the hallway, where nobody saw us.
"What the hell are you doing?" I said confused. Castle looked angry and firmly held my wrists.
"Why did you lie to me?! I thought that you feel at least a bit of what I do, but you lie to me all the time!" he yelled and slapped me. I tumbled to the ground and banged my head. My eyes were immediately full of tears. I held my face and looked at Rick.
"Castle?" I whispered and started to cry. Castle wanted to pick me up, but I hit him in the stomach and I turned away from him.
"Don't you dare to touch me! It's over!" I yelled at him. He grabbed me and hugged me. He kissed me gently into hair and cradled me in his arms. I don't understand why I let him to do it, but I did. I cried into his shirt and I was hugging him tight. I know I shouldn't lie, but I had no choice. I did not tell him why I don't want to start a relationship with him.
"Sorry. I hurt you. I did not want to. Forgive me, please," he said still holding me close to him. He got up with me in his arms and kissed me on the forehead.
"Sorry. I shouldn't lie you, but I'll explain everything when you listen to me. I promise. I do not want to lose you, you are important to me," I whispered back and hugged him around the neck. He carried me into the restroom and put ice on my cheek. I already wasn't crying so I just smiled at him. He sat next to me and grabbed my hand. I put ice beside me, and I took the Castle under the chin. I leaned over and kissed him. First tentatively, then more passionately. When we parted, we left our foreheads together and we held hands around each other.
We finally closed the case. Rick took me to dinner and then for a walk where I was finally able to explain why I didn't tell him my feelings that day when he came to me in the hospital. As soon as I stopped with talking, he hugged me and kissed me all night until we fall asleep together in each other's arms.
The End
