Masochist
Little semi-angsty oneshot.
Disclaimer: Nothing is mine
Teresa Lisbon was a masochist. And she knew it well.
It probably started when she was a kid.
She could've easily called social services. She was smart enough to do it, smart enough to end the misery.
But she wanted to keep the family together. So she didn't say anything to anyone, she just took her brother's beatings for them and kept the broken family together.
She continued with her masochistic habits after her father killed himself as well. Freshly eighteen, she continued to support her brothers, working her fingers to the bone. She could've asked for help, but she didn't. She somehow managed juggling it all, but barely making it out alive.
When she moved to San Francisco for the job at the SFPD, she fell in love with Sam Bosco, her mentor and a married man.
The CBI was supposed to be her fresh start. She was supposed to have a refreshed, new life here, clean of any drama. She was supposed to work. Her job was the only thing she's ever really been good at. Her job was the only that helped her survive her own masochistic ways.
And then he walked in the door… Patrick Jane.
She never meant to fall in love with him. She knew she shouldn't have, she knew it was stupid, stupid, stupid. He was a broken man, still hopelessly in love with his dead wife. And there was that little thing on how he was driven by revenge for a psychopathic serial killer.
But she couldn't help herself.
Their bantering, their teasing, the way his azure blue eyes sparkled when he pulled off something devious.
She was in love. Horribly, irrevocably, heart-wrenchingly in love.
Stupid, stupid girl…
It's not fair.
She thought he'd never love again. That's why she didn't allow herself to say anything to him. But that night when he arrived with Kristina Frye, that was unexpected.
The 'psychic' woman. She never liked her, the woman just made her uncomfortable. She annoyed her. She thought Jane was annoyed by her as well. Apparently not so much, because they were obviously coming back from a date together.
She probably should've seen it coming, the way those two kept looking at each other.
She watched them leave together again after they all watched the Red John video.
Her heart felt like it turned to lead and was lying in her stomach.
Yup, Teresa Lisbon was a masochist.
And Patrick Jane was her favourite method of torture.
Alright, what do you guys think? Please review?
