Hey! Look guys! A long chapter! Right over there next to the flying purple polka dotted pig!
Ok, so maybe I was naming things that don't exist here. Although this IS the longest chapter I have for you. It's not really long, but its probably a normal chapter size. I actually like this one a little bit. It seems more...I don't know, in character or something i guess. Also, surprise guest in the middle here...lemme know what you think!
Also, about those of you who want to sue me for the characters- they're still not mine. get over it. I did. :p
Now that that's over with, read on!
When I woke up, I could literally smell the coffee. I walked out to the kitchen where there was a cup of coffee and a plate of pancakes waiting for me. Castle could be really sweet sometimes. I look over, and the wine glasses from last night are still sitting out.
"Morning Beckett. Pancakes are ready."
He smiled that smile that I haven't seen with anyone else. I, of course, smiled back. How could I not? He has that boyish charm that is so adorable on him.
"So I think I'm beginning to remember some things. Just little stuff. My love of pancakes, my favorite color, almost dying in a freezer with you, how I take my coffee-which is useless because it seems like you have that down-and also I remember, well I think I remember, having a boyfriend..."
His face fell. I knew I shouldn't have said anything about that. Just then there was a knock on the door. When I answered it, I saw his face. Then I remembered his name.
"Josh. Hi. What...um..what are you doing here? I mean, come in."
I looked around for Castle, and I saw him peeking out of my bedroom. He was watching Josh and me, which usually I would be really angry about, but I couldn't be mad. Not with that look on his face.
"I heard about what happened. About you getting shot. I came over as soon as my flight from Japan got in."
He started talking about his trip, but I wasn't really listening. Partially because all I remembered about him was his name, but mostly because I was worried about Castle. He was really upset. I wasn't sure why, we were just really good friends right? He just looked so hurt...
"...and then the tent collapsed, but luckily no one was in it anymore...are you okay? You seem distracted."
"Yeah, Josh, I'm fine, it's just..."
I bit my lip and looked up. I needed a nice way to say this. Especially because I couldn't remember him.
"...well, I think we should break up."
So much for sugar coating it...
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
As soon as I closed the door after Josh, Castle appeared from my room.
"You remembered his name. You saw his face and remembered his name."
I don't know why, but I felt like I needed to defend myself. I felt like he was angry with me. I couldn't hold it in anymore, the words just came spilling out. I didn't even know I could talk that fast.
"Castle I'm sorry but I had already started remembering this morning. When I first woke up from my coma I was confused and overwhelmed and there was a man holding my hand and when I realized I didn't recognize you I was scared and I just feel- I feel like I'm losing more and more of myself everyday I don't remember something and I don't know how to-"
I interrupted myself with a quiet sob. Before I knew what was happening, I was crying into Castle's shoulder. He assured me that we would get through it, but I just kept crying. He must've held me for a good half hour before I finally fell asleep in his arms.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
When I woke from my nap, I crawled out of bed to find castle in my kitchen again, making some pasta. I looked at my watch. 6:30.
"Castle, you should go home. Alexis probably misses you. I'll be okay on my own."
He looked my in the eye again. Every time he does that I feel that spark, and it's not just a spark of passion like in the movies. It was a spark of familiarity, of hope.
"Beckett, I really think I should stay."
He said that almost as if he were hinting at something. He seemed like he was almost angry that I would suggest that he leave.
"No, no Castle. Go home. Be with your daughter."
"Okay, look Beckett, I didn't want to say anything until I had to, but now I have to. We still haven't caught the man who shot you. Ryan and Esposito told me to be your protective detail. I can't leave"
"If you're that worried , have them put a real protective detail on me. Ones that have guns. In the meantime you need to go home and get some sleep."
"But-"
"No. I promise I'll call you if I get shot at again."
"Fine. But if you do get shot again, don't say I didn't warn you."
"I won't. Goodnight Castle."
"Until tomorrow, Beckett."
"Yeah. Tomorrow."
