I hope you enjoy this Chapter, don't know when the next one will be up

Kate stood outside the french door where she could here Will laughing at something Ryan had said, the sound of his laugh went staight through her.
The last thing she wanted to do was see him never known talking to him, Jenny place her hand on Kate shoulder and sent her a friendly smile and then Jenny
walked in with Kate close behind. When both the girls walked into the lounge Will stood up and stared at Kate, when Kate glances up at Will she saw the sadness
in his eyes, the same look she saw when they had the fight, when she told him its over. All Kate wanted to do is run. Run away from the pain, run away and feel
the freedom she once felt when she was 19. When she was 19 years old, only 3 weeks into Janurary her mother Jonanna Beckett was murdered, Kate couldn't handle the
pain, she built up this wall inside of her to hide the feelings, she finds it hard to let someone in, someone in her heart.
"I'll be right outside if you need me sweetie" Jenny gave Kate a quick hug before leaving the room with Ryan.
"Will.." Kate said after a couple of seconds breaking the silence
"Kate wait, let me go first please"
Kate didn't reply, she just nodded and sat on the eage of the sofa while looking staight at him.
"Kate, these past couple of days had made me realise how much I actually care about you, I miss you so very much. I know I made mistakes, stupid ones of that but
I can't shake this feeling that we belong together, no matter where we are in the world, you opened up to me about your Mother but you need to drop your life
in New York and start a new life, a happier life with me."
The anger grew in her eyes, how could he even ask her to drop everything just for him, she can't leave her Father, her friends or even work. New York will
always be her home. Hell she couldn't leave her Father behind, his life is now in her hands, she wants her Father so much to go to Rehab and not just go to the AA
meetings. He tried them before and he lasted 3 months before drinking again, he grew up having alcoholics for parents hell he didn't want to be one when Katie was
born but after Johnanna's murder, he just crashed and drank his sorrows away. She needed to be here for him, he needed her here more than ever and not even Will
can stop her from leaving.
"Will, I meant what I said back in New York, I am not going to drop everything for you, hell its only been 6 months and for the first couple of months you was
out of town for work so I never saw you. We hardly spoke to each other and when we did it turned into a fight or you would get annoyed with me or I would get
annoyed with you."
"Yes Kate I know but can you honstly say you can't see us being together forever?" Will bent down onto his knees and got hold of Kates hand, rubbing her fingers
with his but she pulled away place her hands in her face.
She lifted up her head and stared him in his eyes and saw his tears falling.
"honstly..No. No I can't, Will you're a wonderful guy and someday you will find a wonderful girl and live happy ever after but that girl isn't me"
"Kate please I know you don't mean that, in my eyes you;re wonderful and I won't leave without a fight."
"The thing is Will, I do mean it the past couple of weeks hasn't been the same, there no magic anymore between us. It was always the same, you calling off
date night each week, we hardly spoke to each other and when we did it turned into a fight." "I just can't do this anymore Will."
"I know it looks bad but.." Will tried to speak but Kate made him stop midway, she wanted this to be over, she didn't want to see Will after all,
she wanted to move on with her life, get her life back but first trying to get her father back.
"Will."
"You know what fine, have it your way Kate but I'll let you know you're making a very big mistake." Will stood up and walked out the doors, pushing past Jenny
and Ryan while making his way to his car.
By the time the party got going Kate had started to enjoy herself and put everything behind her of what happened that course having couple of drinks
seem to unwind her and she was back to her happy, laughing, joking self.
It wasn't long until Rick and Espo turned up however they couldn't see none of the ladies they had met at the beach so they went to the bar, the ladies off course
was already on the dance floor with some of their friends and cousins. Ryan needed couple more drinks if he was going to join them, as he walked up to the bar he saw
two lads taking shot after shot. He thought he might know one of them from his first year of college before he moved.
"Epso?" When Ryan saw his face he knew it was him, one of his closest friends hell they were like Brothers at one point.
"Well well well look what the cat dragged in, Ry it's good to see you man"
They did their 'cool' handshake fist pump as they did in college. Rick still taking the last of his shots not releasing Ryan was there.
"What are you doing here? Wait let me guess, a girl?"
"Off course bro, nothing ever changes, are you still working as a detective in New York?"
"Yes, I became a detective not too long ago actually, my partner is here too"
"That's great bro, I'm moving back to the city and joining the 12th, what's your partner name, I might be joining your team?"
"If you are joining my team then hell we are all fucked."
Ryan and Epso always joked about with each other, it's one of those relationship you can start with an insult but they wouldn't give a rats ass.
"Haha very funny bro, now tell me your partner's name before I do shoot you"
"Her name is Beckett, Kate Beckett, she was the youngest female to be made detective"
As soon as he said her name, Epso looked back at Rick then at Ryan, suddenly Rick was paying full attention.
"Oh sorry Bro, Ry this is Rick, Rick Ryan"
"Hi nice to meet you"
"You too Ryan, did you say something about Kate?"
"Yeah why, do you guys know her?"
"We might do, does she have a smoking hot friend called Lanie?" Epso butted in before Rick could reply.
"Erm yeah she does, they work together actually shes the Medical Examiner at the 12th."
Before anyone could answer Kate turned up behind them to join them at the bar. Rick saw her and couldn't take his eyes of her, she was stunning, her wavy hair feel
nicely on her shoulders with a black dress upbrove her knees, with it showing of a bit of her chest, it clung on her perfectly. As Kate was walking up she was looking
over at them but looking at the ground not knowing the lads from the beach has arrived. She hoped Rick would off, she enjoy meeting him at the beach, just having a
chat and laughing and joking about, she thought she recognise him from somewhere but she couldn't put her finger on it.
"Hey you guys made it"
"We said we wouldn't miss it detective" Rick shoot her an answer before even thinking about it.
"Detective? How.. What?" She was a bit confused of how he knew, wondering if Ryan told them.
"Esposito here is joining the 12th in September, we were at college for a year before I went to NYU"
"Oh you must be Javier Esposito who's joining my team"
"The one and only"
"Nice to meet you, I'm happy for you to be on my team. Anyway enough about work, are you girls going to join us on the dance floor? Or will I have a force you?"
"Shot then dance" Rick suggested, only looking at Kate.
"Fine two shots each then dance" Kate starring at Rick in the eye like it was dare of some sort.
After finishing the shots, Kate got hold of Ricks hand and started to pull him towards the dance floor and Esposito and Ryan was close behind. Esposito went to
Lanie straight away, they all dance for at least three songs and Kate saw her phone buzzing on the table so she glances over to it. Rick saw her eyes widen as soon
as she picked up the phone, she didn't answer it, she just froze on the spot for a second and she then she received a voicemail, along with the other 3 from earlier.
Rick thought about the beach and how she had to go back and thinking if it was the same person as before, he walked up too her with other two shots for her.
As soon as he turned up with them she forgot all about the voice mail and all the massages from Will and just sat her mind on Rick and to enjoy herself. She grew a
smile to her face when she saw him, a relief smile of that which just made his smile even bigger. He gave her the shot with a wink that appeared from his face and
they clink their shot glasses together and took the shot.
"Thanks Rick, just what I needed"
"I'm going back to the bar willing to join me?"
"Love too, just going to the bathroom before hand, meet you there?"
"Meet you there"
As soon as she left for the bathroom, Lanie saw someone outside she hoped to not see what she did and her eyes filled up with anger within seconds, from being happy
and flirty to anger, Esposito look at the window to see what she was looking at but all he saw a guy making his way to the beach house.
"Lanie everything okay?"
"Come with me for a moment?"
Lanie got hold of Esposito hand and made themselves outside to see if it was who she thought. Her mind was sat on Will.
Right next to the doors they both saw Rick standing there next to the bar ordering drinks.
"Yo Rick, you seen my girl Kate?"
"Yeah she be down In a second, she went to the bathroom why?"
"Just keep her the hell inside and away from outside"
"What's going on?" Rick was getting a little bit worrie for Kate's safety, none of the lads knew what was going on but hell they sure want too.
"You know earlier today at the beach when Jenny came running up to her, about someone turning up, well it was Will. They broke up a week or two ago, she came here
to get away from everything and then he turned up, she just got herself together and now Will is here, outside my house when Kate already told him to leave this
afternoon. "
"What are you going to do?" Esposito sheezing Lanies hand for support.
"If it's up to me he'll be sorry that his sorry little ass even walked through those doors never mind seeing her or talking to her, hell if I could do the perfect
murder then I would."
A shadow came closer and closer to the French doors, Lanie walked out so fast, full anger it was her job as a best friend to not let Kate see Will but somehow
she knew that was a long shot.
"What the hell do you think you're doing, don't you get it? She's doesn't want you any more."
"Lanie just move your ass aside and let me see her, I need to explain.." Will try to get past Lanie but Esposito stopped him in his tracks.
"Yo dude, do us all a favour and go home, no one wants you here."
Esposito spoke not letting Will finish his sentence, he didn't like the way he was Lanie attitude. And he definitely didn't like the look of him, from the smell of
him he was drunk.
"Who are you to tell me what to do, now get out of the way before I throw a punch at your face prettyboy." Will shouted back at Esposito.
Esposito really wanted to punch this guy right there and then but he wasn't worth his time.
"Rick who is Lanie talking to outside?" Kate appeared from no where, Rick had his eye glued to the window watching it all happen. Without Rick answering back
she saw who it was, she saw Will shouting at her best friend and her new partner, she wasn't having any of it she wanted it all over and done with tonight. In a
matter of seconds Kate was walking towards the French doors with Rick right behind her, she could feel his hot breath on the back of her neck, she kind of like him
being close to her, knowing if she falls, he'll be there.
"KATIE finally, come back into my arms love, come here so I can squeeze that cute ass of yours"
"You might want to watch your mouth before your the one getting punch" Esposito still fired up from moments before.
"Esposito, please" Epso stood down after that, hearing a sad sound coming from Kate's mouth made him realise he wasn't worth his time.
Will walking up to Esposito so they were face to face, trying to get into his mind."That's right, do as mummy says, you don't want to get hurt now do you."
And with that Esposito grabbed his hands onto Wil's top and threw him to get ground. When Will hit the ground Esposito walked up to him and grabbed him top again
pulling his face closer to his. "You're lucky that Beckett is here otherwise you would of never saw daylight again." Rick rushes over to Esposito to hold him back
and to bring him back to the girls before he courses any more trouble. When Esposito had calmed down Kate asked Lanie to take him inside so she could deal with Will
and had Rick there just in case.
"Will, listen to me when I say this, I in no way want you here. I don't want to see your face infront of mine ever again. I never want anything to do with you and
I'm sure of hell don't love you."
"Kate baby, i was only messing with your so called friends, wheres the harm in that?" Will started to walk closer towards Kate, Kate had her eyes locked on Wills,
filled with anger.
"Will, get your drunken ass of Lanie's beach house, my so called friends mean more to me then you ever will, understand?"
"Kate come on sweetheart, I know you don't mean that" Will grabbed kate around her waist and place his hands on her ass but within seconds she pulled away and
slapped him hard around his face, leaving a hand mark there for couple of seconds before it faded.
Rick butted in Will got slapped, he pulled Kate behind himself, "Get your drunken ass of their house now, get in a cab and leave, Kate doesn't want you here,
theres nothing left for you now go home."
"Kate you really staying with these idoits then with me"
"Like Rick said theres nothing here for you anymore, I don't want anything to do with you, just go home."
With that Will walked off down the beach, when he was out of eye sight Kate went you hug Rick, he hugged her back squeezing her arms letting her know its okay
and thats its all over. They just stood there in the hug in silence, both of them not wanting to break the silence, Kate was trying to wrap it round her head
of what just happened, she couldn't start to think where Rick's head was at but feeling his warm body againest hers was comforting enough. When they pulled back for
the hug he placed his arm round her back and Kate learned her head on his shoulder it fitted perfectly under his chin like it was made for her, only her. They
took a slow walk and made it back into the beach house, none of them looking back.
