A Little Bit of Fun

It's been about a week since aunt Kate left for DC. She tries to call me every day, mostly to make sure I'm not getting into any trouble, or Castle either. Castle was going o go on his book tour soon, so I was going to be staying with Mrs. Rodgers for a bit. I thought it was going to be hard not having Aunt Kate around, but Castle has been making the best of it.

We've been having so much fun together, especially since Alexis was in Costa Rica for a summer abroad program at her college. So, it was Castle and I hanging out, like father and daughter bonding. It has been so amazing and since it was summer, we had plenty of time to do things together.

Castle's been taking me to places I never even knew about in New York. I was going to miss him when he went on his book tour, but I know when he comes back, we're going to have even more of a blast. But when he comes back, the following week, I'm going to be starting middle school. I'm so not excited about that, but I'm sure I can handle it.

"Okay, mini Beckett. What do you want to do today?" Castle asked me.

"I don't know," I said as I was sprawled out on his couch.

He plopped down in the empty space and said, "Me either."

"Hey, there's a new skate park a few miles from here that just opened. Do you want to come with me?"

"Why not? I never seen you skate before and I have nothing else to do."

"Sweet… I'm going to get dressed."

"Okay, I will too."

We got dressed and we were both wearing a graphic t-shirt and jeans. I had my skateboard with me and we headed to the skate park.

The skate park was filled with many different ages and skateboarders. The new skate park was definitely bustling with skateboard hobbyists like myself.

"Um… Is this really safe?" Castle asked as he watched the riders doing daring tricks.

"Of course it's not. That's why it's so awesome. But if you're afraid of getting hurt that's why they make helmets and pads," I said.

"Thank you for your reassuring words. Just be careful mini Beckett."

"Of course. I've been doing this for almost six years, I only hurt myself once and it was only a skinned knee. Don't worry about it."

"Yeah, that doesn't make me feel any less concerned about your safety."

"It's fine."

"Yeah, but if you get hurt. Your aunt Kate is going to be livid."

"I'm sure she'll understand. She knows I like skateboarding. And I won't get hurt, I promise."

"Okay… Now get out there and show me what you can do."

I smiled at him and said, "All right."

I went down a few ramps and did some simple tricks easily. Castle was having a blast watching me and cheering me on. Even some of the older kids started watching me do some tricks. I was having so much fun. I even got Castle to join in on the action.

He was reluctant at first, but I got him to get on the skateboard. I borrowed a helmet from one of the older riders and gave it to Castle to where. I helped Castle keep his balance as he went down the kiddy ramp.

"This isn't too bad," he said.

"Isn't it fun?" I asked.

"Yeah, it's great. Now I see why you like it so much."

"Yep… Do you want to try the bigger ramp?"

"Oh no… This is fine. I think you should do it if you want."

"Well, okay."

We returned the borrowed helmet and I went on the bigger ramp. It was slightly bigger than the other ramp I used to ride when I was younger. I let out a small huff and went down the ramp. The first two tricks I did were simple and easy. I was building up a good momentum and I felt like I was on top of the world.

I decided to pull off a harder trick that I've seen the older kids do. That was a huge mistake, I caught my turn to short and wiped out on the wooded and waxed surface below me. Castle was by my side in a flash and I could hear the sharp silence, floating through the skate park. I didn't even know I was injured until Castle said, "Oh my god, you're bleeding."

I looked down at my elbow and sure enough there was a large gash, spitting out an enormous amount of blood.

"Aww man, not on my favorite shirt," I said as I watched the blood drip on my cool t-shirt.

"Really, that's it!? You're worried about getting blood on your shirt?" Castle asked.

"Yeah, it's an awesome shirt."

He rolled his eyes and helped me up carefully.

"Can you move your arm mini Beckett?" he asked.

I tried to flex my arm, but pain shot through my elbow, like I was shocked with electricity.

"Ow… I think I hurt my elbow," I said.

"You think!?" Castle said with sarcasm.

"Don't worry, it's not that bad."

"Emily, your bleeding profusely and you might have broken your elbow. It's bad."

"I guess. So, should we go to the hospital?"

Castle just glared at me and an attendant from the skate park came over to us, "I called an ambulance."

"Thanks, I'm sorry for the trouble," Castle said.

"No problem. That was a wicked wipe out. Plus a few days ago some dude snapped his ankle pretty good. It was so gross, but sweet at the same time," the guy said and walked away.

"I will never understand skateboarders."

"Don't worry, some of us just have some twisted humor," I said.

"Yeah, I can see that. Let's go wait for the ambulance."

"Okay."

The ambulance picked us up and took us to the local hospital. I had x-rays done on my elbow and it turns out I did damage some of the cartilage in my elbow and chipped the bone. The doctor cleaned my flesh wound and then wrapped my elbow tightly with adhesive bandaging. I also got a navy blue sling that I'll have to wear to keep from moving my elbow too much.

While we were in the examination room, waiting for the doctor to come back with the discharge papers, Castle's phone started to buzz. He took it out and said, "Oh no."

"What?" I asked.

"It's your aunt Kate, she wants to face time with me."

"Well we can't just ignore it. She'll know somethings up."

"You're right. Just act normal."

"Will do."

He picked it up and said, "Hey Kate. How's D.C.?"

"Hectic, but it's kind of interesting," she said.

"That's great, I'm glad you're having a good time."

"How are you doing?"

"Fine, we're both fine. Having some fun and hanging out. It's all fine."

Castle came over and made sure we were both in the camera frame from our neck up.

"You two are both fine?" she asked looking skeptic.

"Yep, we're fine Aunt Kate. Having a blast," I said.

"Yep," Castle agreed.

"Yeah, I don't believe you two for a minute. Spill it," she said.

"Really it's nothing," I said.

"Yeah, we just miss you," Castle said.

"Where are you?" she said sternly.

We looked around the room and Castle mumbled, "The hospital."

"The hospital!? I'm gone for a week and you're in the hospital. What happened?"

"I was at the skate park and I kind of fell on my elbow," I said as I showed her my arm in the sling.

"Seriously you two. Maybe it was a bad idea to have you two living together."

"Come on, Kate. It was just a little hiccup. Everything's fine. She could have hurt herself plenty of times while skateboarding," he said.

"Yeah, I guess so. You sure you're okay, Em?" she asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine. But I got blood on my favorite shirt," I said.

She chuckled with a roll of her eyes and said, "Well, I guess your fine."

"See, nothing to worry about," Castle said.

"Yeah, I guess I just overreacted since I'm not there. As long as everything is okay and nothing serious is going on."

"Yeah, it's not like that small fire we had yesterday…" I said.

"Wait what!?"

"Bye Kate!" Castle said and promptly hung up, "Are you trying to throw me into the dog house?"

"It's all good," I said with a shrug.

He rolled his eyes at me and eventually the doctor came in and had Castle sign the discharged papers. Even though I got hurt and I'm going to have my arm in a sling for a few weeks, I still had the best time with Castle.
