Hey guys!
This has been floating in my head for a while now and I've finally been able to get it out. I'm sorry for the length. I'll work on writing more per chapter. I want to give a quick shout-out to CuriosityComplex for all their help. Don't know what I would do without you :). Also, just wanting to put this out there, I'm still looking for a person to co-write with me. If anyone is interested PM me! Enjoy the story!
Trigger warning for the next chapter and the whole story.
Lucy. The reason she was drinking. The reason she was miserable. Her girlfriend, well not anymore. They had been together for 2 years and today, today of all days, Jane comes home to find her in bed with a red head. The same red head who works at the precinct and who is Lucy's ex. 'Stupid, Detective McMahon' Jane thought. She had been mad, pissed even, her plans of proposing that weekend had flew right out the window. Ring in her car, romantic plans and a hotel room all gone to waste. She laughed bitterly as she heard Lucy's pathetic cries in her head.
"Baby, I'm home." Jane called out. No response. It was quiet too. Jane didn't like it. She started to walk further into their apartment. "Babe?" Jane yelled, still nothing. She took her coat off and put her keys down and walked into the kitchen. Nothing out of place so she went to her bedroom to change. Maybe Lucy was in the shower, 'hmm, hot and steamy shower sex', Jane chuckled at her though. Just as she reached the knob she heard her girlfriends voice, "Harder, baby. Fuck me harder!" 'What the fuck?!' Jane thought as she opened the door. There was Lucy alright, but Jane wasn't the one causing her pleasure. "Get out!" Jane yelled, "Get out! Get out!". "Jane!" Lucy said as she sat up and covered herself. 'This was not happening' she thought as she grabbed her robe and put it on. "Jane, please baby it's not what it looks like. Janie please, wait." Lucy cried, following Jane down the hall and into the living room. Jane wasn't listening. She was too busy grabbing her keys, her gun and her coat. She couldn't be here right now. She needed to leave before she did something she would regret. "No. I want you out by the time I get back." Jane said calmly. If you knew Jane, then you knew that when she was calm like this, you should stay clear of her and listen. When she was really mad she never screamed, she just became very calm. Lucy gulped. She did it now. She couldn't lose Jane, she just couldn't. "Jane…" Lucy whispered, trying to reach for her. But Jane stepped back and opened the door. "No. You have until tomorrow to pack your crap and leave." Jane said as she shut the door.
Jane had left the apartment and when back to work. She finished all of the paperwork that she saved for tomorrow and drove straight for the robber, where she was currently sitting in the corner at the bar, drowning her emotions with Blue Moon and Jack.
After her 3rd beer and 2nd shot she switched to water, didn't want to be too intoxicated to drive, and started watching the people around her. She watched a girl pour her beer over some guys head for checking out a different girl who was walking by. She watched the people staring aimlessly at the giant TV screen, Red Sox were up by two and it was the beginning of the 6th inning. She saw men and women come and go with potential "dates" for the night while others sat with friends, buying drinks and laughing over an inside joke. Nothing really caught her attention until a short, honey blonde, clad in jeans and a giant sweatshirt hanging off her small frame came in a sat a few seats away. She couldn't be older than 23, she was trembling and looking back and forth like she was running from something. The poor girl looked like she had been through the ringer with fear and lost. Even though Jane didn't get a clear look at her face, she knew that she was a domestic violence victim. She had that walk and space about her. Call it a gut feeling, but Jane knew she had to help this girl. Jane got up and was about to walk over when she saw the girl finally break down. Tears falling violently as she sobbed, body shaking with every breath she tried to take. Jane was by her side almost immediately. She placed a hand on the girls back and was about to say something when she felt the girl tense under her hand and whisper about not hurting her and some sort of apology.
A lump caught in Jane's throat. 'What happened to make her so afraid of someone' she thought. Jane rubbed the woman back and whispered, "Shhh… It's okay. I'm not gonna hurt you. I just want to make sure you're alright." This seemed to make the girl cry harder. Jane finally got the idea to sit down next to her and try to talk to her. She was about to introduce herself when she caught of the girls swollen eye and gasped. The girls head jerked towards Jane and her arms came up. The sleeve on one arm rolled down and bruise after bruise and black and blue hand print was staring at Jane. Jane reached out to grab the arm in front of her but panic spread across the girls face and she jerked her arm back and almost fell trying to get off of the stool to fast. Jane stood up to help steady her but the girl took off as fast as she could, nearly dodging people on her way out the door. 'I can't let her get away' Jane thought as she took off right behind the girl. Jane followed behind her for a good 3 blocks and thanked God when the girl turned right into an alley.
"Hey", Jane called out. The girl turned and had a deer caught in the headlights look. The girl tried to find an exit but was blocked in. Every step Jane took the girl took one backwards until her back hit a brick wall. Jane got closer and was able to catch the girl just in time as she passed out. "Oh shit, what am I gonna do?" Jane breathed out. This was turning into a very interesting night.
