Prompt:Beckett tells Castle how she feels (Like Lanie suggested) even though he shows up with Jacinda.
(Starts just before Castle gets to the elevator)

"Rick, stop," she can't do this anymore. Won't let him push her away. "I'm ready."
Maybe that's all he needs. A few words to show she's not holding back any longer. A dangerous leap, but she cannot lose him again.
Castle pauses, huffing at her words. "Too late." He can't let her in again. His heart won't cope.
"No!" She hisses, anger creeping into her bones. "This is not how it's... You're supposed to love me."
His mouth opens, incredulity across his face. It's her first admission of her lie. "I can't keep loving someone who doesn't love me back."

A/N:So its been a super long time since I've been here. About 3 years I think. Honestly, I'm definitely feeling a bit rusty. Haven't written anything for ages! Can't even remember the last time I watched an episode so had a youtube refresher for this prompt!
