With a smile on her face Jane walked into her apartment carrying a bag of chinese takeout. She had finished her paperwork early and decided to head home and surprise Maura with dinner. The thought of Maura caused a smile to appear on Jane's face. Maura was the brunette's best friend and secret love. The honey blonde had been staying with Jane for the past four days, the longest time yet, after her and her boyfriend Ian had another row.
This was the norm for the detective. Maura would ring her crying because Ian had hurt her yet again and Jane would comfort the medical examiner, ending in them sleeping together and causing Jane's feelings for her best friend to grow. "Maur!?" The brunette called out to the seemingly empty apartment. Hearing someone in her bedroom the brunette slowly walked to the room, her brow wrinkling at the sight before her. The honey blonde was folding her clothes and placing them into the overnight bag she had come with. "What's going on?" The brunette asked, her gut twisting as she knew what the response would be.
Turning Maura turned to face her best friend, a small smile on her face. "Hi Jane. I'm packing. Ian rung me earlier and we've decided to try and work through things." She told the detective. The honey blonde loved her best friend more then she knew she should and she hated the way Jane's face fell at her words. Without a word Jane turned and headed into her kitchen, yanking her fridge door open and pulling out a beer. The brunette was aware that Maura had followed her as she heard the medical examiner place her bag on the hardwood floor. "Jane? Are you okay?" The honey blonde asked.
Sighing Jane slammed the fridge door shut and turned to look at Maura. A part of the brunette knew this would happen, it always did, but a part of her was also hoping the honey blonde would stay and they could be happy together. "Nothing." The brunette stated as she opened her beer and took a long drink.
"Something is clearly bothering you. What is it?" Maura asked her best friend. "Talk to me Jane." The honey blonde said to her best friend.
Hearing the pleading tone in Maura's voice Jane couldn't help but groan. She loved the honey blonde but she was also hurt by her leaving the way she was. Jane knew that if she hadn't come home early then it was likely the medical examiner would have left without saying goodbye. "You want me to talk, fine." Jane stated. The brunette knew this was going to hurt both herself and Maura but she needed to say it. She can't keep having her emotions played with like this anymore. "I can't do this with you anymore, Maur. If you want to stay with him, that's fine. I can't keep doing this. Every time he hurts you, you call me and we end up sleeping together. Then you leave and we don't talk for a week." She explained to the honey blonde.
Jane couldn't look at Maura for fear she wouldn't be able to get her words out. She knew she needed to say this even though she loved that the honey blonde wanted to be with her. "Next thing I know, you're back together with him. I love you but this is hurting me and if you loved me the way you say you do then you would choose. You don't have to choose me but you do have to choose. Because this for me is torture." Jane said, before she placed her beer on the counter and walked out of her apartment. She couldn't bare to see the look on Maura's face and she couldn't watched Maura leave her apartment. It was too much for her. She needed space and time to think so she got in her car and simply drove.
