Title: I still cry
Disclaimer: I do not own Castle or any of the songs.
Chapter Seven: Glass- Thompson Square
Alexis' Point of View
"I take thee Richard Castle to be my lawfully wedded husband." Kate says.
"I take thee Katherine Beckett to be my lawfully wedded wife." My dad says.
"And by the power vested in me, I now pronouce you man and wife." The preacher says, "You may now kiss the bride." my dad and Kate kiss, everyone is smiling (Jim; Kate's dad; Lanie, Esposito, Ryan, my gram, and myself) crying (Jim, Lanie, gram, and even me) and clapping (everyone at the wedding) I really hope they don't get a divorce, like my mom and dad, and my dad and Gina.
Haft an hour later we're all at the reseption. My turn to give a speach, I hope they like the song I'm going to preform.
"My dad and Kate have known each other for a long time now, almost seven and a half years, and I've never seen him happier then I have in these past years since he met Kate. I'm happy to have Kate as my new step-mother. Welcome to the family, Kate." I finish, and hug Kate, we both have tears in our eyes.
"Thank you." Kate whispers.
"Everything I said was true."
After the speaches and the food, everyone is getting ready for Kate to throw the bouquet(which she is thrilled about) and for my dad to throw garter, and for their first dance.
"I thought my speach was good," Jim says, walking to stand beside me, "your speach was way more heartfelt, I don't think there was a dry eye in the room. Good job, kid."
"Thanks." I smile.
"Don't tell Richard this, but I like him, I think he's good for Katie."
"Don't worry, your secret is safe with me."
"Thanks."
"Ladies, please gather around, the bouquet is about to be throwen." Some one annouces.
"You'd better go, she said 'ladies'."
"I think I'll just stand over here, sit this out."
"Oh, come now, go over there and if it comes to you catch it."
"Okay." I say warily. I walk over and stand in the group, hoping I won't catch it.
"Ready?" Kate asks, everyone nods. She throws it really high, and it hits the ceiling, which makes her smile and laugh.
"It just hit the ceiling." She says to my dad, smiling, and my dad just looks down at his feet and shakes his head.
The next thing I know the bouquet falls right in front of me, and as a reflex; I catch it.
"Ha! Look who caught it!" Kate exclaims, tugging on my dad's sleave.
"It's your dad's fault." I say to Kate, who glances at Jim. Jim smiles and shruggs.
"Good job." Jim yells to me, and gives me a thumbs up.
"Now, time for the garter to be thrown." the same person, who annouced for the bouquet thrown, yells.
All the guys gather around now, none of them looking have as enthusised as the women. My dad slips the garter off Kate's leg who looked all but happy about it, but unless you know her real well her smile would fool you. Then, she really smiles, and I do not want to know why. My dad throws it, and... Esposito catches it. Ryan stood next to me, since he is already married, and his wife; Jenny; is standing next to him.
"Can you hold this?" I ask Jim.
"Sure, why?"
"You'll see." I say, handing him the bouquet.
My dad and Kate have their first dance.
"Ready, Kate?" I ask, getting my violin out of it's case, that was hidden behind the false stadge.
"Yeah, are you?" She asks, walking to take the mic.
"As ready as I'll ever be." I say smiling.
She nods, I start playing.
'Tryin' to live and love
With a heart that can't be broken
Is like tryin' to see the light
With eyes that can't be opened
Yeah, we both carry baggage
We picked up on our way
So if you love me, do it gently
And I will do the same
We may shine, we may shatter
We may be pickin' up the pieces here on after
We are fragile, we are human
We are shaped by the light we let through us
But we break fast 'cause we are glass
'Cause we are glass
I'll let you look inside me
Through the stains and through the cracks
And in the darkness of this moment
You see the good in that
But try not to judge me
'Cause we've walked down different paths
But it brought us here together
So I won't take that back
We may shine, we may shatter
We may be pickin' up the pieces here on after
We are fragile, we are human
We are shaped by the light we let through us
But we break fast 'cause we are glass
We might be all in water
This could be a big mistake
We might burn like gasoline and fire
It's a chance we'll have to take
We may shine, we may shatter
We may be pickin' up the pieces here on after
We are fragile, we are human
And we are shaped by the light we let through us
But we break fast 'cause we are glass
We are glass' Kate finishes singing, I finish playing. Everyone claps when we're done. We bow, and Kate comes over and puts an arm around me.
"Great job." She whispers and kisses the side of my head.
"Thank you, you did great, too." I say returning the hug.
"Thanks." Kate whispers and we walk off stadge, my dad greets us with a big hug.
"That was amazing." He exclaimed.
"So, you liked it?" I ask.
"I loved it." He says and kisses my forehead, then kisses Kate on the lips.
"That was great." Lanie says to us.
"I got it on video, I'll send you guys copies." Jenny tells us. Kate and I smile, only we know how long it took to get it as good as it was, we spent weeks. Kate learned the lyrics, and I learned the notes.
So...how was it? Please read and review!
Love, Alexis
