Chapter 1

Jane went into surgery very worried about Maura and praying that Wilma would make it. She didn't see Maura before she was taken into surgery and Jane didn't know if that was a good thing or a bad thing.

Jane surgery went well. It took about 4 hours for her to have the repairs to her ankle and knee be done and for her to wake up. She thought when she woke up, Maura would be there. But she wasn't.

The nurse gave Jane back her phone and Jane thought there would be a text or something from Maura. Nothing. She was beginning to panic. She needed to see Maura, to know what was going on.

To Maura: I'm out of surgery. What's going on? I'm really worried about you. I need to see you. I'm on the Ortho. Floor room 215. Come up here as soon as you can... I love you, and don't you ever forget that. -xoxo

Jane fell back to sleep shortly after sending the text and didn't get a respond from Maura. She slept for another hour but couldn't sleep anymore because she was having bad dreams. She woke up again to nothing again from Maura. She was really starting to panic. She sent another text to her.

To Maura: Seriously starting to panic... Idk if not hearing from u is a good or bad thing... -xoxo

Jane was in a lot of pain from the surgery, but she was pushing it aside because was more worried about Maura. She didn't know if Maura was ok, if Wilma was ok. Nothing. And not knowing nothing was bothering her.

The nurse came in to check on Jane and could tell just by looking at Jane that something was bothering her.

"You ok?" The nurse, Christina said.

"The pain sucks, but that's not what's bothering me... someone really super close to my best friend was brought it earlier... before I was brought in, and I guess she needed heart surgery. I haven't heard anything and I'm really starting to panic because Maura, my best friend, isn't answering my texts."

"How about I go up to the OR floor waiting room and see if she's there... can you think of anywhere else she could be?"

Jane thought for a minute. There was one place she thought she would be, especially at a time like this. "The Chapel... she only ever prays when things are really bad... you could try there."

"Ok... If I find her do you want me to bring her down here to see you?"

"If she wants. I don't know what's going through her mind right now and if she needs the space then I'll give it to her."

"Ok. I'll be back in a little bit then either way."

"Thanks."

Dr. Hunt came in to do a post-op assessment on Jane with his residents. They were all really nice to her. Dr. Hunt had the IV bag of antibiotics and fluids changed. He wanted to make sure that an infection wouldn't happen because he could tell how hardcore Jane was into softball and knew she would want to get back on the field as soon as she could.

Jane figured she should text her coach to tell her what happened and to find out if she had called her parents.

To Coach: Hey coach, so had surgery an hour ago... broke my ankle, tore ligaments and tendons in my ankle and my ACL... seriously spazz move! Figured I'd let you know & find out if u called my parents... let me know.. -Thanks

The coach's response was almost instant.

To Jane: As much as that sucks, I'm glad there's only a wk & a half left of the season. I did call your parents... I understand the situation with u & them now w ur coming out... ur mother is one pain in the ass. I mean no disrespect. But she did say some not nice things... I'm sorry. I will be by sometime tmw to see u... rest up.

Jane was furious with her mother now. She didn't know what she said to her coach but she can only imagine. She still couldn't believe her mother was still acting the way she was, even after all these months. Jane was also getting worried that the nurse hadn't come back yet to tell her if she found Maura.

Jane laid back and just stared at the ceiling, silently praying and thinking about how much she was in love with Maura. Jane heard the door slid open but didn't look to see who came in because she just figured it was a nurse to check the levels of her IV's.

She felt someone take her hand she looked over. There was Maura, red puffy eyes and all. She looked like a mess. Like she's been crying for hours.

"Hey." That was all Jane could say before Maura buried her head in Jane's chest and started crying.
