AN- So, I have no idea where this came from..
Or where it's going for that matter. But I was just sitting in school today, and I was sitting in one of my last few classes, listening to the same lecture I had heard all day, and I came up with this.. So, enjoy yourself and... Ideas on where it should go would be appreciated.

***Jane, Age 20***
I stepped out of the empty house into the torrents of swirling leaves. They looked like a painting, all the colors swirling about the yard. I stopped and stood there watching the scene before me. The oranges and yellows, and even some hints of green. They calmed my anger. I smiled grimly to myself and walked through the falling leaves. The crunch of the leaves under my feet soothed the fire inside me even more. What I was angry about, I wasn't sure.
As I calmed, it seemed that the leaves fell less thickly. I realized the wind had stopped blowing too. That must be why the leaves stopped.
Then I realized that I had no idea where I was going.
I figured eventually I would end up where I wanted to be.
I got into my car, and drove through the winding forest roads until I got out into the open country. I drove for a long time, not knowing where I was or where I was going.
After a while I stopped. I was in front of a large white house. I decided to get out and ask the inhabitant of the house where I was, and possibly how to get home. All I had done the whole time was drive, and turn a corner, and drive more. I sighed as I walked up the walkway, considering the amount of gas I had wasted.
I rang the doorbell. As I stood there I kept wondering to myself why I did something so stupid.
When the door opened a minute later, it took all I had to not let my jaw drop to the ground.
I must be looking at a goddess.
***Maura, Age 20***
I was listening to some relaxing music when the doorbell rang. I wasn't expecting anybody. That would be why I was in skinny jeans and a lacy tank top
"It must be some businessperson or something." I said to myself, "I don't need to answer it."
But I had this feeling, that I just needed to answer the door. I got up, and opened the door. Standing in front of me was the most beautiful girl I had ever seen. She had dark, wild hair, and the most beautiful brown eyes that I had ever seen. I looked at her, drinking in every detail of her.
Then I realized that I was staring, and she was looking at me.
"H-hi! I'm Maura, Maura Isles." I stammered, blushing when I realized how stupid I sounded. Her eyes caught the blush in a second, and she looked at her feet, in a way that seemed as if she were hiding a blush herself.
It seemed that she didn't know what to do, so I invited her to come inside. Once we were comfortably seated, I asked her why she was here.
"Well," She started, not looking me in the face. "I was angry. My mother is trying to get me to find a man that I can spend the rest of my life with.. She doesn't realize that I'm only 20, I want to live my life, you know? But anyway, the date last night didn't go so well. I sent him away, and she found out. She got kind of.. angry. She really liked him. We fought. I didn't know what to do after we got off the phone, so I left. I drove, and I ended up here... Wherever this is."
I looked at her. "Well, this would be my home." I said defensively.
"I didn't mean it like that! I'm sorry. I just don't know what to call it. As I said before, I don't really know where I am."
"It's not a problem. Sorry. I didn't mean to snap."
"I'm sorry too. I shouldn't have called your home that."
There was a silence for a while. Then she gasped. "It's almost 10:00! I should go!"
I gave her directions on how to get back to her house, and walked her out.
As I walked back in, I stopped with a gasp.
I ran outside, yelling her name as I watched her taillights disappear down the street. I knew I couldn't catch her, so I walked back inside. I sat down on the couch, pouring myself another glass of wine. When I finished the bottle, I thought it was time to go to bed. I walked up the stairs slowly. As I started to take my clothes off to change into my pajamas, I heard something rustle slightly, and looked at the floor. A piece of paper fluttered towards the ground.
I opened it, wondering what in the world it could be:
Dear Maura,
I know you might think this is strange, but I enjoy your company. I would really like to come visit you again sometime. So call me maybe?
(Sorry, bad joke, I know.)
From (Love?), Jane
I couldn't help but smile. Of course is was love, not from. Then I caught myself. I had only known this woman for a few hours!
I finished changing into my pajamas and went to sleep.
