Thank you guys for the reviews about the last chapter, one last different POV and then we are back to normal for a few chapters.


Sarah (SPOV)

Holy cow I wasn't ready for that! I knew Margaret never liked Kate, not that I knew why, she was such a good person, maybe I little too secretive but that didn't make her worst or better than anyone. But I would never in a million years think that Margaret would do something like that.

In our circle is an unspoken rule: We just say something bad about a person BEHIND her back. It is like the principle of our existence. Margaret being basically the queen of the rule, would know better that start screaming about Katherine being the problem of our family.

I was so admired with Katherine answer to Margaret that I almost clapped my hands, on my 22 years of existence and being the youngest I was always the one that got bullied by Margaret, and I had never had the courage to say a piece of my mind to her just like Kate did.

After Katherine left, everybody went crazy, Peter started screaming at Margaret for saying something like that about his fiancé, and Mom was just taking a sip of her drink observing all the commotion with an indifferent posture, like she usually was. The rest of the guests were talking loudly about the event. I was trying to chose what side to defend, I really loved Margaret but she was way out of the line with Katherine who had been nothing more that polite and kind with us since she started dating Peter.

In the end I would probably take Katherine side, I always dreamed of being her friend and maybe that was the opportunity I had to get close to her.

After 30 minutes, the commotion ended and people were acting like nothing had happened except for Peter who was with a frown on his face, looking with anger at Margaret and using the phone to call someone who was not picking him up, if I had to guess, my guess would be Katherine.

When people started leaving I was the first one to be out of the door, not wanting to stay alone with Margaret to listen her talk my ears off about all the bad things Katherine did and I couldn't take Margaret acting like Katherine was the culprit of the situation.

When I got home I called Katherine's cell phone which went to voice mail, not wanting to leave a message and since I didn't have the number of her house, I called her office and left a message to her assistant saying that I was Katherine's sister-in-law, Sarah, and wanted to talk to Katherine this week, if possible.

With my conscious clean I went to bed.

Katherine Beckett (KBPOV)

"Look Margaret, if you weren't Peter's sister I would crush you like I usually do with people in court, and besides you being Peter's sister I am not even getting money from this shit so why waste my potential? If you want to sit and talk with me, so we can work it out all this things about me that bugs you, please do! Call my office or my cell phone, which one is better for you and make an appointment anytime you want, but please don't destroy the party of your beautiful little girl. I will be waiting for your call. Have a nice afternoon."

After I said it, I picked up my bag and stormed out of there; Margaret had always been the bitch queen but that was way too much; she was always fucking judging me, who the fuck she thought she was?

When I arrived at my car I was at verge of crying; I hated how I always cried when I was very angry. I sat in the car seat put my bag and passenger seat and took a deep breath; I needed to calm the fuck down! I held at the wheel tightly, like that I could use it to help my calm down.

I prayed that Peter wouldn't follow me, I needed to be alone. When people like her, who thinks is better than the entire population of the planet, judged me my hands always started tingling for me to cut myself, but I didn't any space left and I knew that when you do it once, you just can't stop. I closed my eyes and thought what word I would cut if I could, emphasis on the could. Probably misinterpreted, no, too big; or knew, is better because at that moment I wish I knew what I could do for them to like me. After a few minutes, when I was feeling a little more stable I raced home where I could lay the rest of the night and enjoy my company.

When I arrived home my answering machine was blinking:

"Not today buddy" I said out loud to no one in particular, anything that was there could wait, I could check first thing in the morning before going to work. With the happy thought that tomorrow was a week day so I would go to work, I slept running my fingers through my beloved scars.

In the morning I woke up with the alarm, a rare thing, I was usually very awake when the alarm ringed. Before I went out for work, I remembered that I had to check my messages, which during the night had added 3 more messages. All the 6 messages were from Peter apologizing for his stupid bitch sister, dismissing fast all the messages since they said the same things over and over again, I went for work.

At work Patricia gave me the messages from the day, the only interesting in the bunch was one from Sarah wanting to talk to me, weird, she was always nice but not really talkative, since she was nice I asked Patricia to call her and schedule a brunch at my favorite coffee shop near the office for the next day. Before immersing myself at work I called Lanie:

"Hey Lanie, how are you?" I said when she picked up her phone.

"I am good girl, how are you?"

"I am fine, I was thinking if we could go to lunch together today?"

"Yeah, sure girl. Where do you want to go?"

"Maybe at The Old Haunt, it is a new place that I discovered. I will send you the location."

"How did you discover a new place? I thought Peter just liked the expensive stuff and that one doesn't sound like one. "

"I tell you when we get there. I need to work."

"Okay, see you there at 1 pm, don't be late!"

"I never am darling." I said with a grin.

"Yes, you always are darling! If you are more than 10 minutes late I'm going to leave, do you understand?"

"Yes captain! Love you, bye."

"Bye, see you in a few hours."

When I hung up I asked myself why Lanie didn't asked me anything about my date with Castle and then I realized that I didn't tell her that he called me back; I would just tell her at the bar and hope she didn't make such a big deal about it.

At 12 o'clock I left my office trying to get there before Lanie. The traffic was horrible like usually was and I got there 10 minutes before 1. Looking around for a table I sat at a corner that gave me a view of the entire place.

At 1 pm sharp Lanie arrived, seeing me after just a few seconds looking, me being the only woman in an expensive suit made easy to her, she walked to our table and sat down.

"Hey Kate, how are you baby?"

"Hum…good, you?" I said trying to think come up with a way to tell her about my encounter with Castle and Margaret scandal last night.

"I'm good, but you don't sound so sure you are good, what's up?" She said with a worried voice.

"Last night Margaret made a scandal at Donna's party, saying I was the reason of all their problems. She was like screaming to everybody hears it. Argh, she is such a bitch."

"Wow girl, that wasn't nice. Who did you handle it?"

"My way you know… said some things, never offending her, that isn't who I am and stormed out of there."

"Did Peter call you?"

"A million of times I'm not picking up, I'm not ready to deal with him yet, I will call him before the end of the week."

"Sure, don't forget to call him; it isn't his fault that his sister is such a bitch."

"I know. Let's order?"

"Okay."

After we ordered, I took a sip of my soda, since it was lunch time and after I was going to go back to the office I couldn't order anything with alcohol, sadly.

"So, how did you discover this place?" She said while we waited for our lunch.

"Hum... do you remember Richard Castle?"

"Mmmhhhmm…" She said with a grin.

"So, he called me Sunday and I was doing nothing and we came here. Actually, this is his bar."

"Girl, I can't believe you have been holding this kind of information on me. How did it go?"

"I was great, he is so nice. We talked for like two hours about everything."

"Did he make a pass on you?"

"Of course he didn't! I made very clear that I am an engaged woman, and he respects that. He just wanted to be my friend you know, talk."

"Yeah sure, the guy went out with a beautiful engaged woman just because he wanted to talk. I don't believe that you are really thinking that is just it."

"Look, he probably doesn't go out with a lot of women who don't want nothing from him, he probably saw the opportunity to have a nice conversation with someone not interested on his money or having a picture take to the page 6 or something like that, Lanie."

"Girl, you aren't fooling me with this little speech of yours."

"Please" I said rolling my eyes "Don't make it more than it is, you are going to get disappointed."

After that our conversation headed to others direction and we talked about her and Javier, when our lunch arrived we didn't even talk to each other, too hungry to waste time and enjoying our meal too much. When we were saying goodbye I dropped the last bomb that I remembered at the last minute at Lanie:

"And before I forget, we have to start planning my wedding." I said while kissing her cheek.

"What?"

"We have to start planning my wedding" I said it again louder. "It is time, you know. Peter and I have been engaged for almost one year, it is time for the weeding."

"Girl, you can't give up if you start the planning, are you sure about that?"

"Lanie, could you please stop always asking this? I love Peter and of course I am sure about the wedding. Just be supportive now please, okay? I wish I could do this with my mom but we both know that it isn't a possibility, so I need my best friend."

"Okay, no need to play that card; I will be the best maid of honor that has ever existed."

"Who said you are going to be the maid of honor?"

"Please Kate; you don't have any other friend. Of course is going to be me."

"Actually, I was thinking about asking Sarah, the Peter's sister that I like, you know, to help people like me or something like that. Maybe you both can be the maid of honor."

"Okay, good idea, involve the good sister and maybe the bad sister will like you. Talk to her and then talk to me and we will arrange a meeting with a wedding planner."

"Sure, love you Lanie."

"Love you too."

I entered at my car and went back to work thinking that Lanie was right, I only had her as a friend and nobody else, maybe would be good to have another one. Sarah seemed to be a good person, maybe we could became friends; before turning myself at the auto pilot and drive to the office, I thought "when was Richard Castle going to call me back".
