'Just give me five minutes in a room with this bastard'
'Jane you know we can't do that'
He went to storm into the room but Lisbon grabbed his arm to stop him.
'No Jane'
He pulled his arm forward and slammed it back again in an attempt to pull free but ended hitting Lisbon in the face and sending her flying backwards into a filing cabinet. Everyone looked their way. Jane went to her side.
'Teresa'
'Get away from me'
Tears were forming in her eyes. As Cho attempted to help her up but she waved him away and everyone but Lisbon glared at him. Lisbon was avoiding his gaze and everyone else's altogether. She walked away undetected and crept into the bathroom and locked the door. Her body was filled with tremors and she could no longer contain her sobs as she pressed herself against the sinks and looked into the mirror staring at the saddened face that was now bruised. She moved to the wall and pressed her back to it sliding to the floor crying. Her face was reddened. All of the trouble had started when she started dating. Jane had gotten more and more upset and angry. He was hurt. And it was all because of her. The thought that it was her fault caused her body to expel more tears from her body. There was a metal clinking from the doorway but she didn't look up. She knew who it was. The door opened and shut again before looking. She didn't try to cover up the tears as she knew there would be no use as he'd work out that she'd been crying and that she was upset.
'I'm sorry'
'It's me that should be sorry not you'
'Why?'
'Because it was my fault, you've been angry lately; because of me…'
'What makes you think that?'
'I started dating and I could tell…you were jealous…I see that now. If you weren't angry maybe you would've listened to me and that wouldn't have happened'
'That's a lot of maybe's Teresa'
'I know'
'I'm sorry'
He moved over to her and sat by her side and put an arm around her. She leant in to him and closed her eyes. He placed a soft kiss to her forehead.
THE NEXT DAY
Courtesy of Jane; Lisbon's face now sported a large bruise. They pulled up at office and they got out of the car. A shot rang out and the car went up in flames another few rang out and the two ran for cover.
'Are you ok Jane?'
'I'm fine…are you?'
'Yeah…I think so'
He looked her over to check and saw a patch of red at her stomach.
'Lisbon!'
With that she collapsed and fell into darkness in his arms.
