So, for my second chapter here I decided to do a song-inspired story!

(Losing Your Memory - Ryan Star) *Go ahead and search up the song! It's great!*

Let me know what you think of it and be sure to tell me to never attempt another song-inspired fic again! :P Or you could even suggest a song I could use to base a chapter on.

As usual songs, shows, and characters belong to the individuals who created them or own them... legally.

Enjoy! =)


Of her five senses, the first that registered was her hearing. The slow but steady low beeping sound was surrounding her as well as a low murmur of voices far off in the distance. The second was the sense of smell, although there wasn't much to the smell, nothing other than the piercing alcoholic, antiseptics filling the air. After that she could taste; and it wasn't at all pleasant, it the taste in your mouth you often got after you slept uncomfortably on the couch for a night.

All of these observations had her curious as to where she was, so she opened her eyes allowing her fourth sense to kick in. There were white walls all around her, with light peach curtains covering most of them.

Oh God. She thought, as a sickening feeling rushed over her. I'm in a hospital, a god damned hospital!

Within seconds, a doctor appeared at the end of her bed "Ah, Miss. Beckett. It appears you're awake now. How are you feeling?" He asked.

Hmm, good question, she thought. Since she made the discovery of her bearings, she was yet to complete a self-assessment on her body. After a few moments she came to her conclusion, "Sore."

The doctor smiled lightly to himself as he came around to the side of her bed to check all the monitors of the machines she was hooked up to. "Well, that would be slightly expected…" he trailed off as he pushed a few buttons on the pad. Realization suddenly dawned on him "I'm sorry I didn't introduce myself, I'm Doctor Neilson and we've looking after you for the fast few days." With that he put his attention to the files he had in his hands and wrote a few notes down.

She couldn't handle it anymore, "I'm sorry doctor but," her voice starting shaking, "who- what did you call me?"

He stopped writing, then slowly raised his head. "I called you by your last name." He stated simply.

Beckett?... Beckett, Beckett! Beckett she thought over and over again. But it held no meaning to her. She wanted to yell, cry and scream out in frustration, but she was so scared she couldn't seem to find her voice.

Dr. Neilson carried on talking, "Katherine Beckett is your name."

The first half of what he said was ringing no bells in her head either, and very quickly she felt her heart in her throat and a stinging in her eyes.

"I need to you to tell me if you can remember how you got here, or what your last memory was…" he trailed off. But she stopped listening to him because she already knew she had forgotten.

"Kate!" She looked up to see a man carrying a coffee and jacket in hand nearing her bed, he looked so happy and relieved to see her. He all but dropped everything he was holding in his hands as he rushed over to her. "Oh my God, Kate you're awake!"

The doctor soon realized the type of situation that was about to be presented, so he did his best to step in and prevent it.

He stood in front of the man, "Sir I must warn you, she just woke up and seems to have no recollection as to who she is or…" Is all she could hear the doctor say. She quickly shut her eyes and wished for the scenario to change, she didn't want to put people through this pain by not knowing who they were. She felt so bad and sorry, and she had no idea who he was.

By the time she opened her eyes again, the man that had arrived looked much different from the first moment she saw him. He looked defeated, lost, and in a word miserable. But as soon they made eye contact, he gave her a small smile, nodded to the doctor in understanding, and waited until the doctor reluctantly left her room before he took a seat in a chair by her bed.

With the grim smile on his face he shuffled his chair closer to her bed so a conversation would be easier, "Hi, I'm Rick Castle".

She lay on the hospital bed for a moment thinking, "Kate Beckett." She said unsure, testing the name out for the first time. She suddenly felt much more calm.

The man smiled like he had the first time, and gently placed his hand in hers and gave it a small shake in a 'nice to meet you gesture'. With his hand now touching her own, she felt her heart clench in her chest, and her breath hitch slightly.

That's when she realized her fifth sense had finally woken up.


As I mentioned above, feel free to tell me to never do something like this again ;)
