Okay, this is my first Rizzoli and Isles fanfic. Please be nice. Any helpful reviews would be good to make this story better. All characters belong to Tess Gerrtisen (I met her a few years ago at a book signing, she was really awesome.) and TNT. Rating will be T.
It was senior banquet time and Jane Rizzoli was excited. She hated high school, but one thing good came from it. She had her best friend, Maura Isles. Maura was the class valedictorian and was the class president and Jane had a major crush on her. No, she was head over heels for Maura, but was too scared to tell her. Well that night had gone smoothly until Jane sat down from dancing and saw Maura and her boyfriend, Ian, dancing on the floor. Jane scowled at the duo and went up to the buffet. She felt a tap on her shoulder and knew that it was Maura.
"Jane, is everything alright?" Maura asked.
"Yes. Everything is perfectly fine." Jane said sarcastically.
"I wanted to know if you wanted to dance?" Jane turned around and saw tears in Maura's eyes. Jane sets her plate down and places her hands on Maura's shoulders.
"Maura, what's wrong?"
"Ian and I have ended our relationship."
"What? What happened?"
"We were growing apart and he told me that he had sexual intercourse with someone else while we were still together." Jane saw red but when she saw Maura, she pulled her into a hug.
"He doesn't need you. You deserve someone better." Maura pulled away and kissed Jane's cheek.
"Thank you. Now, lets dance." Maura pulled Jane onto the dance floor and it was a slow dance song. Jane placed her hands on Maura's waist while Maura placed her arms around Jane's neck and danced.
I can't fight this feeling any longer
And yet I'm still afraid to let it flow
What started out as friendship, has grown stronger
I only wish I had the strength to let it show
I tell myself that I can't hold out forever
I said there is no reason for my fear
Cause I feel so secure when we're together
You give my life direction
You make everything so clear
And even as I wander
I'm keeping you in sight
You're a candle in the window
On a cold, dark winter's night
And I'm getting closer than I ever thought I might
And I can't fight this feeling anymore
I've forgotten what I started fighting for
It's time to bring this ship into the shore
And throw away the oars, forever
Cause I can't fight this feeling anymore
I've forgotten what I started fighting for
And if I have to crawl upon the floor
Come crushing through your door
Baby, I can't fight this feeling anymore
Jane and Maura both knew that the song was meant for them. They looked at each other and Maura places her head on Jane's chest. Jane smiled and they kept on dancing.
My life has been such a whirlwind since I saw you
I've been running round in circles in my mind
And it always seems that I'm following you, girl
Cause you take me to the places that alone I'd never find
And even as I wander I'm keeping you in sight
You're a candle in the window on a cold, dark winter's night
And I'm getting closer than I ever thought I might
And I can't fight this feeling anymore
I've forgotten what I started fighting for
It's time to bring this ship into the shore
And throw away the oars, forever
Cause I can't fight this feeling anymore
I've forgotten what I started fighting for
And if I have to crawl upon the floor
Come crushing through your door
Baby, I can't fight this feeling anymore.
When the song ended, Jane pulled away.
"Jane? What is it?"
"I gotta go. I'll talk to you later." Jane walked away and Maura was left there confused.
Jane was leaning up against a building when she heard footsteps coming her way. She looked over and saw Maura. She tried to walk away but Maura pulled her back to her. Jane turned towards her and kissed her. After a few minutes of kissing, Jane pulled away.
"I'm sorry Maura." Jane ran to her car and drove off. When she arrived home, her mother was in the living room.
"Janie, you're home early. I thought you would still be at the banquet."
"Yeah, but I got tired. I'm going to bed. Night Ma."
"Night sweetie." Jane went upstairs and changed into her pajamas. Her phone went off, but she didn't answer it. She knew it was Maura calling her. She put her phone on 'alarm only' setting and stayed awake for the entire night.
After Maura tried calling for the third time she gave up and she was going to go see Jane in the morning. The following morning, she got into her car and drove over to Jane's house. She walked up to the door and rang the doorbell. Angela answered.
"Maura! What a lovely surprise. Come in."
"Thank you Mrs. Rizzoli. Is Jane home?"
"Yes, she's up in her room. She's been moody since last night when she came home from the banquet. Do you know what happened?"
"Not that I know of. I'll go speak to her." Maura walked up the stairs and knocked on Jane's door.
"Go away ma!" Jane said from inside her bedroom.
"I would but I'm not your mother." Maura answered. Jane rushed over to the door and opened it.
"What are you doing here?"
"We need to talk about last night."
Uh-oh. What's gonna happen to our favorite duo?
