Outside by Green River Ordinance

-R-I-

To say Maura Isles had cried a river in the 1 hour, she had been home would be an understament, she had cried a freaking ocean. She couldn't ever remember crying this much over a person who had rejected her in her life even when her first boyfriend had broken up with her when she was 15. And she had been though a lot of break up's in her life every guy so far had always found something wrong with her or not being able to handle her uniqueness. It was one of the reasons she liked working with the dead so much, they couldn't reject her.

Maura reach for yet another tissue to blow her nose (again), when she noticed Bass staring at her. "What are you looking at?"

The tortoise slowly turned away from his owner not use to her using that kind of voice, "Oh I'm sorry Bass, don't turn your back on me too, I've had enough of that tonight,"

Ding Dong.

The medical examiner quickly dried her eyes before making her way to her front door to see what person could be at her house this time of night.

Seeing the brunette though the peep hole she tried her best to compose herself not wanting the other woman to see her weakness. "What do you want Jane," the detective looked taken back but shook it off, knowing she had hurt the woman in front of her deeply, for walking away the way she did.

"I need to talk to you,"

"You didn't want to talk to me earlier, what makes you think I wanna talk to you now," the Medical Examiner challenged.

"Maura," the brunette's word's coming out like a plea. "Please,"

The doctor finally nodded and moved aside to let the other woman in.

"Let me just start by saying I am so sorry, for just walking away the way I did," Jane started once both of the women were situated on the couch in Maura's living room.

"I should have never done that, But Maura you have to understand I was scared shitless,"

"You know that's technically not possible right because,"

"Maura," the brunette stopped the Medical Examiner from going any further, she couldn't help but smile, even though she would never admit it to the other womans face, the Doctors rants were one of the things she liked and hated most about the woman beside her. She liked them because it was one of the things in her life that no matter what was always constant. And then again she also hated it because well sometimes it just annoyed the hell out of her.

"I was very scarred, when you kissed me what I felt, I've never felt before with anyone, I've never been attracted to a woman before, and then you kissed me and these feelings, I had been trying to lock away and hide about you, were finally out in the open, I was exposed." Jane closed her eyes, "and I couldn't face them, so I did the next best thing I ran," the brunette took a deep breath and opened her eyes and examined the face of the woman beside her.

"You have feelings for me," Maura questioned.

"Yes,"
