Chapter Sixteen: You Don't Know Her Like I Do- Brantley Gilbert

Rick's Point of View (flashbacks in italics, phone convos will be underlined)

It's been three months, seventeen days, fourteen hours, and fifty-two minutes since Kate was in the car crash. It's been three months, seventeen days, thirteen hours, and six minutes since the doctor said she slipped into a coma. It's been two months, twenty six days, one hour, and fifteen mintues since the doctor told me not to keep my hopes up.

two months, twenty six days, one hour, and fifteen minutes ago:

"If I were you, I wouldn't expect her to wake." The doctor said.

"That girl, the one who is probelly just another paitent to you...that girl is my best friend."

"I'm trying to help."

"There's no way you could help me, the only thing that will help me is if she wakes up." I said, trying to contain my rage.

Present:

My phone starts to ring.

"Hello?" I say.

"Is this Mr. Castle?" I heard a woman ask.

"Yes, who is this?"

"This is Nurse Lynn, I was your wife's nurse when your daughter was born."

"Ahh, yes, what can I do for you?"

"I wanted to inform you that your wife, Detective Beckett, has woken."

"W-what?"

"She woke up from her comatose state."

"She's awake?"

"Yes."

"I'll be right there."

"Okay, I will inform her that you're on your way."

Click. I can't believe it, she's awake.

"Alexis!" I shout, bursting into her room, "Alexis, she's awake."

"Huh?" She asks.

"Kate, she-she woke up."

"Really?"

"Yes, can you please watch Tali?"

"Yeah, sure, go." Alexis says, telling me to leave by waving her hands.

"Bye!" I yell as I run down the hall, and the stairs; almost tripping on the last three.
