He didnt mean it, not really. No, to hell with that he did mean it and...
"You don't get it..."
"I don't get it? And how am I expected to "get it", when you won't let me in?"
Was she really saying this? After all these years...
"I think I've let you in enough, Rick!"
Beckett turned and started to walk toward her bedroom door.
"Kate, come back!"
He followed.
"Don't! Just don't don't, Castle"
She slammed the door shut.
Castle just stood there, shock and anger etched on his ruggedly handsome face.
On the otherside of the door, Kate was gasping for air, she had no idea how such a tiny argument got so out of control.
Tears started to form in her eyes... But now she had Rick and everything was falling apart, again. Why?
How did this keep happening? Will left, she broke up with Tom ...for Castle. And Josh, she really loved him... she was even okay with him being "the one" ,if Rick continued to choose bimbos and not her.
She was now sitting on the floor with her back against the door...
"Kate?"
She heard his voice break.
God, she loved him... with every fiber of her being.
"I don't wanna leave us like this... please, say something"
She wanted desperately to answer him but she couldn't breathe...
He put his right palm against his side of the door... willing her to say something.
"I love you..."
he began to walk away.
She was really going to lose him this time, the idea that he was going to leave forever... knocked the wind out of her.
"I love you, too"
Kate wiped the tear stains from her cheeks, shakily rose to her feet and slowly turned the doorknob...
"Rick"
She heard the front door close...
"Rick!"
He stopped dead in his tracks.
"Rick?! Please don't go..."
Kate rested her left palm on her side of the front door...
"I love you"
Castle smiled.
Rick opened the door.
Kate took a step backwards.
His smile disappeared the moment he saw the tears falling from her eyes.
She stepped forward.
He closed the door.
Kate fell into Rick's arms.
The End.
