I'm always glad to read your opinion and your ideas to my story so yes. Enjoy reading!
„I knew it!" Frankie shouted and hugged his sister, Jane Rizzoli. „I'm so glad you're finally coming out. I always wondered when are you going to tell us," he still had his sister in a bone breaking hug.
„I'm glad you're not upset or anything," Jane said and hugged her brother back. Jane Rizzoli finally decided to come out of the closet and tell her family and friends that she was gay. She thought about it for months now and came to the decision that today, Sunday family dinner, would be the best day to tell because the next three days they all would have holiday, so they would have enough time to think about it, if they needed to and she also would have time to think about it, if she has to, but she only has to think about it if her family and friends would have to think about it, she thought. Complicated. So today was the day, she didn't say anything until after dinner because she didn't want to ruin the day, if they don't support her. It was a wise decision, she thought afterwards, because Frankie was really the only one who seemed to support her, well and Vince Korsak. But her mother, Angela, didn't. She looked in disapproval at her daughter, so did her father and her youngest brother Tommy. Barry Frost just looked at her, no emotions, she thought he was just shocked and didn't saw that coming, but well to be honest he should because behind Jane's back, everyone in the precinct called her ‚dyke' or ‚lezzie'. Yes of course she had always been in a relationship with guys, but what all of them didn't know, she also had a few relationships with girls, not only in High School and Academy. Well someone knew, Frankie did and she also mentioned it once to her best friend, Maura Isles, who had dropped her glass of water as she told everyone, she wanted to help her clean up but Frankie immediately had his arms around his sister so she couldn't move. Now everyone, except the ones who supported her and Maura cause she went to the kitchen to clean up that mess, looked at her like she was an alien or something gross. Seconds later Tommy turned around, grabbed his jacket and walked to the door without a word, followed by her father. „Tommy, please! Pop?" she sighed as she watched them leave without looking at her one last time, without saying anything, they just left. She now looked back at her mother who was still starring at her like she just told them that she actually was Batman and sparkled in the sun like a fucking Vampire from the movie Twilight. „Ma! Please say something, anything." she said but Angela just shook her head and looked away from her daughter to walk into the kitchen where Maura was still wiping away the water which was on the floor.
„Well, I have to go now." Korsak said after what felt like hours of silence, he gave Jane a lovely hug and whispered „I support you, Jane, will be there for you no matter what."
Jane smiled and nodded „Thank you, Vince." He pulled away from the embrace „See you at the Dirty Robber or at work in some days," he looked at Jane, Frost and Frankie, then his view wandered to the kitchen „Goodbye, Doctor Isles, goodbye Mrs Rizzoli, thank you for the lovely dinner."
The whole group said ‚goodbye' and Vince Korsak left the house. „I have to go as well." Frost suddenly said, he looked at Jane and it seemed like he wanted to hug her but then decided otherwise. „See you guys around. And also thank you for the dinner. Bye." And also he headed out of the house, now there were just Frankie and Jane in the living room and Maura and Angela in the kitchen. Frankie placed a hand on Jane's shoulder, she immediately looked at him and smiled weakly, she was exhausted, she didn't even know why, she just felt exhausted. „I can talk to Ma, if you want me to." he suggested but Jane shook her head. „You don't need to, Frankie, but thank you." They smiled at each other, then Jane's view drifted to the watch on the wall, it was 8pm.
„Hey, don't you have a date at 8.30? You should go." she winked at him.
He looked at his own watch „Oh shit, you're right. Is it okay for you when I go?"
She smiled „Of course it is. I'm not a baby, brother, I can deal with this. Now go and amuse yourself." she forced him to go to the door, he laughed „Okay, okay. I'll go." he hugged his sister. „Don't let them beat you down, sister." he whispered and pulled back from the embrace, then he walked into the kitchen followed by Jane. „I gotta go now." he said and hugged his mother, „Goodbye Ma." Angela hugged him back „Goodbye Frankie, much fun on your date." She smiled weakly at him and he smiled back, turning to the doctor he also said goodbye to her and left the house with a last glance, wink and smile at Jane.
Now silence filled the room, the only sound was the ringing of the dishes, so Jane decided to say something „May I help?". Angela just shook her head and excused herself „ I'm sorry, Jane, I need some time to think." she walked out of the kitchen, „I'm sorry, goodnight." And with that she left. Jane sighed. „If you still want to help, I could use some." Maura suddenly said, her first sentence after she made that announcement, it was not exactly what she wanted to hear but at least it was something.
„Sure, where should I start?" Jane smiled at her best friend who now smiled back at her. „How about drying the dishes?" Maura said and pointed at the already clean but still wet dishes next to the sink. Jane nodded, grabbed a towel and started to dry the dishes while Maura cleaned up the rest of the kitchen, they worked in silence but it was a comfortable silence, neither of them had to say anything.
As they both finished cleaning up, Maura picked a beer out of the fridge and poured herself some wine into a glass, she handed the beer to Jane and the two of them walked to the couch and sat down.
„Do you wanna stay the night? We could watch a movie, you can pick." Maura asked, while looking at her best friend and smiling slightly.
Jane grinned at her friend and nodded „Yes, that would be great."
Maura felt Jane shifting on the couch, she wanted to say something about her announcement, Maura knew her best friend so she said before Jane was too uncomfortable „I don't care about it, Jane. Well I do, but not in a bad way, you know? You'll always be my best friend, I was just…I was surprised. I mean I knew that you're not straight, you told me once about your relationship with that girl from the Academy so I assumed that you're bisexual. I was just surprised that you came out now, today, without telling me a word. Well that sounds very selfish, I know but… I was surprised, Jane."
Jane nodded, she understood her, she knew what Maura had meant „I'm sorry for not telling you, Maura. Actually I wanted to, yesterday, but well, we weren't alone at the Dirty Robber so I couldn't. And Maura, I'm so glad that you don't run away or look at me like Tommy or my mother did." She sighed at the thought of her mother's, father's and brother's reaction. Suddenly she felt arms around her torso, which wrapped around her from the side, she turned so she could hug her best friend back. The blonde doctor then whispered „It's going to be better. They all just need to think, I guess you really surprised and shocked them. But they love you, honey, they just need time."
The detective nodded at Maura's words „Thank you," she then whispered into the blonde's neck „you're like the best friend in the whole world, do you even know that?"
Maura chuckled and pulled out of the embrace to look at Jane, they smiled at each other for a while. „So, how about that movie?" Jane suddenly said. „ You said I could chose which one. A rare chance!" she winked at the blonde, stood up from the couch and walked over to Maura's DVD's. She mostly owns documentations about science and stuff, but in a corner Jane once found some ‚normal' movies, so she picked one of those and held it up so Maura could see which movie she had chosen.
„National Treasure? Yes, that's a very good choice. I really like that movie, not only because of the great actors Nicholas Cage and Diane Kruger but also because of the story. It's ver interesting and it-"
„Yes, Maura, I like the movie as well." she grinned at her best friend and put the film into the DVD-Player and pressed ‚Play'.
As she returned to the couch she grabbed her beer and took a generous sip out of the bottle while sitting down next to Maura again. She placed the bottle back on the table in front of them, leaned back against the couch and looked at the TV.
After a few minutes, the doctor moved closer to Jane, laid her head on her shoulder and wrapped one arm around her waist, her view never leaving the TV. She felt the brunette move a bit, at first she thought that she might move away from her but then an arm wrapped around her shoulder. She smiled immediately and cuddled up more against Jane Rizzoli's side.
„Thank you for staying, Jane." Maura said looking up at her best friend and smiled as she saw her smiling.
„I'm glad I stayed."
