A/N: This chapter is fairly short. Sorry it's taken me so long to update this, I have been out of town. Please let me know what you think, good or bad, feedback is always appreciated.

Disclaimer: The usual.


"Who would this someone be?" Lanie demanded.

"Alexis."


Kate averted her eyes to the ground, mentally slapping herself for telling Lanie.

"Kate Beckett, look at me," Lanie said sternly, "What happened? Because the Alexis I know would never try to break you two apart."

Kate sighed loudly, did no one else know how badly she had treated Castle? He deserved someone better, someone who would treat him better than she had.

"Alexis caught us making out," Kate could feel her cheeks heating up, "And, uh, she pulled me aside. She said that I didn't love her dad and that I needed to stop playing with his heart." Her voice hitched on the last word, tears threatening to pour down her cheeks once again.

"Do you love him?" Lanie asked, knowing the answer but needing to hear Kate admit it.

"How can you stand there and ask me that?" Kate demanded tears rolling down her cheeks, smudging her makeup, "of course I love him, I love him more than anything. He's my whole world and now he's gone."

Lanie grabbed Kate and hugged her to her. She hated seeing her friend like this.

"Shh, shh, it's going to be okay." Lanie said into Kate's hair, rubbing her back.

"How is it going to be okay? I lost the most important person in my life." Kate choked out before she started sobbing, her body shaking.

"It will be okay. You know why?"

Kate shook her head, tears still running down her face.

"Because you are going to fight for him."


A/N: Okay, so this will have a happy ending, don't worry. There are probably one or two more chapters left. Please review!
