Hi guys! I hope you're gonna enjoy this story as much as I enjoy writing it..
Still, I need ideas on how to make it better. Much better. And the only way to do that is if you leave reviews. Constructive criticism is welcomed! So with that said, I hope you enjoy this
"Some people don't understand the promises they're making when they make them," I said.
"Right, of course. But you keep the promise anyway. That's what love is. Love is keeping the promise anyway."
'What's your name?'
No reply.
'Excuse me?What is your name?'
Maura looked up at the slim dark haired girl standing in front of her, a puzzled look taking over her facial expression.
'I-I'm sorry!I was just daydreaming, my name is Maura, Maura Isles.' the dark blonde girl murmured shyly.
'Yeah I noticed.. Nice to meet you Maura' Jane smiled and shook the smaller girls' hand. 'I'm Jane Rizzoli and those idiots over there are Frost,my brother Frankie, Roger and some other guys from our school.' Jane said pointing at the boys occupying the field.
'I always enjoyed watching Softball, it looks like a lot of fun!' the smaller girl said now more cheerfully.
'Do you want to join us?' Jane asked excitedly.
'I, I don't think I can play.. I'm not very sporty, I'd probably miss every ball' now Maura's voice went quiet and shy once again.
Maura was an extremely bright 14 year old, much brighter than girls and boys her own age. She enjoyed reading more than anything and spent the majority of her time alone in libraries, parks or at home on her own while her parents were away on meetings, which was practically everyday. She never had many friends and has learned to do everything on her own, it didn't really ever seem to bother her.
'Oh come on! It will be fun! Besides, nobody will care if you're not a pro at it, please?' Jane gave Maura a questioning look hoping the girl agrees to play.
'Well, I suppose I could take part in one ga-'Yes!' Jane interrupted before the smaller girl had the chance to finish her sentence.
Jane whistled to get all the boys' attention. 'Right assholes, this is Maura she's new and she's gonna play with us today!' Jane spoke, giving Maura a reassuring smile.
'Here's a bat, all you have to do is stand over there and hit the ball when it comes, simple huh?' Maura simply nodded and got ready to start the match.
Soon after the match was over and it started to get dark, Jane offered to walk Maura home.
'Thank you. For letting me play, I don't have any friends in Boston and you made me feel very welcome, thank you.' Maura touched Jane's arm, quickly putting her hand back as she noticed the taller girl jumped at the contact.
Jane looked guilty and put her head down, quickly getting herself together and speaking up.
'You're very welcome, it was a cool to finally get a girl in our team. You should play with us more often.'
'I'd love to, Jane.' Their eyes locked for a short while, but not in an awkward way like before. The girls exchanged smiles, not noticing that they haven't moved from the spot for a while now.
'S-So are you going to be in Boston for good?' Jane murmured, her voice sounding a lot more nervous and unsure than usual.
'I would imply so, yes. My parents had to move back after my father's business got moved. We previously resided in London, I went to school there and it was truly wonderful, although quite lonely.' suddenly Maura's voice went much more quiet, the opposite of what she has been like earlier.
Jane touched Maura's hand and smiled warmly. 'I'd hate to get taken out of somewhere I was raised in, but you will get used to this place. Boston might not be as glamorous as London but I'll take you to some of my favourite places if you want. You will love it here.' Jane didn't realise she was still holding Maura's hand, and let go faster than she should have, making the short silence awkward between the two girls.
'That truly means a lot, Jane, thank you so much.' Maura smiled, and it wasn't just on her lips, it reached her eyes making her face glow, leaving Jane in awe at how beautiful the honey blonde standing in front of her was.
'So, is this where you live?' Jane asked sheepishly.
'Yes it is. Thank you again, for walking me home, and letting me play. Today was fantastic.'
'No problem, maybe you wanna do something tomorrow? If you want to that is..' Jane looked up at the smaller girl, a hoping the answer is yes.
'Definitely! Thank you.' Maura's eyes widening and a huge smile appearing on her face.
'No, thank you! I finally have a friend who's not a boy.' Jane smirked, both girls giggling at the comment.
'See you.' Jane smiled and walked off.
As Maura opened the thick oak door, she smiled to herself and a very pleasant thought filled her head.
I have a friend.
