All At Once – The Fray

After last summer, when I kicked him out of the precinct for what I thought was to be good all because he couldn't keep his nose out of my mother's case, I never thought that I would actually dump Tom Demming just to go on a small little vacation with him to his summer house in the Hamptons just to be with his as a friend. But all at once, it was what I wanted to do. It was like nobody else mattered but him. I really wish it wasn't this way, but it is.

'Maybe I am starting to fall in love with Castle,' I think to myself that night, all alone because he decided to go with Gina to the Hamptons instead. 'That can't be it though. There is no way I am falling in love with Richard Castle. It just can't be happening. I refuse to believe. Besides, if I was, it's not like he'd be my one-and-done or anything.'

I suddenly felt the urge to call Lanie for some clarity.

She picked up on the third ring.

"Hello?" she said.

"Hey Lanie."

"Beckett? Is this you?"

"Yeah…"

"Why the hell are you calling me at three in the morning?!"

I could tell she wasn't too happy with me for waking her up. "I don't know. Clarity I guess?"

"Girl, what is there that you need clarity for at three in the freaking morning?"

"Castle?" I say even though it sounds more like a question.

"And what does Castle have to do with anything?"

"He… ah… umm…"

"Girl, just spit it out already!" Lanie exclaimed starting to become impatient.

'Maybe it wasn't a good idea to call have called her. Oh well, too late now,' I think.

"He left for the Hamptons today for the whole summer."

"Yeah. And?"

"And, I broke up with Tom so I could go with him today, but he went with Gina, his ex-wife slash editor."

I could hear the change in Lanie's voice almost instantly.

"Oh, Kate. Does he know that?"

"No."

"Okay then. I know how to fix this, I will be right over with ice cream and 80's movies, and we can sit on the couch and talk about it."

"Okay."

"I'll be over in a few minutes Kate."

"Okay." I sound like I am ready to cry or something. "Hey Lanie?" I add.

"Yeah?"

"Thanks."

"Any time sweetie. I'll be over in a few. Make sure to unlock the door for me."

"Okay Lanie. See you in a few."

Please feel free to review.
