Title: Supporting Love

Disclaimer: I do not own Castle, ABC does. I also do not own the song, "So In Love With Two", Mikaila does.

Author's Note: Wanted to do a song fic using the song "So In Love With Two". AU story idea that would not leave me alone.I know Stana's birth year is 1978, and Nathan's is 1971 for this story to work, tweaked Stana's to 1973 and Nathan's birth to 1972. Kind of hard to explain the rest, story is better than summarizing.

A/N 2: Character though it bold italic

Genre: Romance

Rating: T

Summary: Kate is in college at NYU and has two guys vying for her heart who will she choose?

Chapter 1: Dilemma

Song (in execerpts): "So In Love With Two"—Mikaila


-Takes place around 1993-

Twenty-year old Kate Beckett never thought her love life would come to this. Here she was at home a weekend pondering who to choose.

She had two guys vying for her heart and she was torn. One was a jock and the star quarterback of the football team by the name of Tom Demming, and the other was an English major by the name of Richard Edgar Castle.

Problem was she didn't who she should choose.

My number one: There could never be no one like you
How come I feel this way about
My number two: Never tried to tell me what to say or do
I'm so in love with two
I don't want to push it
I don't want to fight
But this feeling keeps me up all night

Ugh why is this so hard? Kate thought to herself as she continued to ponder.

If I only could decide
But I can't make up my mind
I'm breakin' all my rules because of you
You can tell me it's not right
And it tears me up inside
But the problem is I'm so in love with two

Kate was so deep in thought that she did not hear a knock.

"Katie is everything okay?" asked Johanna concerned when she saw the look on her daughter's face.

"Um everything is okay," Kate said hoping it will be good enough but wasn't.

"Katherine Beckett, you know better than to try and lie about it to smooth it over."

Kate shivered when she heard her mom use her full name.

"Okay mom I do need your help."

Johanna smiled and made her way over and sat on her daughter's bed.

"Well mom here is my problem," began Kate and she went into detail about her dilemma.

After Kate finished Johanna smiled again, placed her hand on Kate's shoulder and said, "Well Katie all I can say is to follow your heart in time you know who to choose."

"Thanks mom, I appreciate your advice," said Kate giving her mom a hug.

"No problem sweetie, and having them go through a challenge won't hurt either."

As soon as her mom left her room, she knew what to do. She gave her two best friends, Lanie Parish and Madison Queller a call and enlisted their help.
