Hi there! This is my first fic for The Mentalist. :) :)
I have no idea what lead me to write this, but for some reason the idea popped in my head, and I just had to write it. I've been reading alot of fics from ILovePlotBunnies and Holz9364. Their stuff is phenomenal, so if you haven't read any of there stuff, go do it. After this ;)
Disclaimer-I do not own The Mentalist or "Need You Now". If I did...well lets just say I wouldn't be writing fan fiction.
Picture perfect memories scattered all around the floor
Reachin' for the phone 'cause I can't fight it anymore
And I wonder if I ever cross your mind
For me it happens all the time
The bottle of tequila sits in her hands, and she can't help but feel ashamed. She knew that the feelings that Jane had for Kristina were deep. She also knew that he would be taking her condition hard. What she didn't expect was the way he treated her.
It's a quarter after one, I'm all alone and I need you now
Said I wouldn't call but I lost all control and I need you now
And I don't know how I can do without
I just need you now
The words still echo in her head. She had seen him angry plenty of times, especially when Red John was the topic of the subject, but never towards her.
She didn't mean for the words to slip out, but at the same time she felt relieved to have told him. She knew that he knew, but saying them aloud made it true. She didn't expect him to become so defensive.
Another shot of whiskey can't stop looking at the door
Wishing you'd come sweeping in the way you did before
And I wonder if I ever cross your mind
For me it happens all the time
He knows he should apologize. He knows what he said was uncalled for, but at the time, he couldn't control himself. He had known for awhile how she felt, but hearing her say the words out loud made it...official.
"I love you"
The words echo in his head like a broken record. He can still see her face, her eyes wet with tears. She loved him, but he was cursed. Bad things happen to people that care about him, and he couldn't live with himself if anything bad ever happened to her because of him.
"How could I ever love someone like you?"
It's a quarter after one, I'm a little drunk and I need you now
Said I wouldn't call but I lost all control and I need you now
And I don't know how I can do without
I just need you now
She stares at the phone in her hand, her anger growing with every passing second. She wants to hear his voice, even after everything. So she put Kristina is a psych ward. What else was she supposed to do? The woman had snapped while she was being taken out of holding and shot Cho with his own gun. Thankfully she wasn't a good shot, and it grazed him, but still.
Spirits my ass.
Sure Red John did something horrible to her, but she couldn't be trusted. What if it wasn't Cho that moved her...what if Jane had been the one. What if she had been a better shot..
"Damn the tequila...and damn you Patrick Jane!" She screams as she throws the bottle and the phone at the wall. As the glass shatters she hears her doorbell.
Guess I'd rather hurt than feel nothin' at all
She stares at the door in disbelief as someone begins to pound on her door.
The cop in her tells her to grab her gun.
The tequila tells her to take a risk and open the door.
It's a quarter after one I'm all alone and I need you now
The door opens and he sees what he's done to her. Her hairs a mess, and her eyes are red from crying. She looks so small and fragile, nothing like the kick-ass strong woman he grew to love. As he takes this in, he says the only thing he can say
"I love you too"
And I said I wouldn't call but I'm a little drunk and I need you now
The words hit her like a brick. What was she suppose to do, run to him like all is well. The logical part of her tells her to slam the door in his face.
Her heart says the opposite.
And I don't know how I can do without
I just need you now
