A/N: next chapter! Because people have actually reviewed:)
…..
After her break down in the morgue, Maura had excused herself for the rest of the day, saying it was 'personal business that needed to be attended to immediately'. No one had questioned her, why would they? She was the Chief Medical Examiner she was entitled to some personal days.
Pulling into her drive, Maura sat in her car and stared out of the windscreen, she didn't want to be alone at the moment but who else did she have apart Jane. Maura flinched as she thought about her. She'd really screwed up her friendship but as she sat in the car Maura knew she wouldn't give up. Jane was Maura's angel from her nightmares, and the unsuspecting victim.
Jane had trusted Maura. Maura had broken that trust and was now paying the price. Jane was hurting and that thought hurt Maura more than anything. But it also motivated her, the thought of Jane hurting, the image of Jane crying made Maura want to fix things between the two of them even more than she did already.
….
A week had passed and the two of them were yet to talk properly. They avoided one another as much as possible. Correction, Jane avoided Maura as much as possible. She hadn't come down to the morgue, she sent Frost to collect the results to the autopsy, they hadn't eaten lunch together nor had drinks after work. The whole precinct knew they'd fought. When Barry had come down to collect the results he'd asked what had happened. Maura looked at him with tears in her eyes and told him they'd argued. He'd looked sympathetically at her and told her they'd get through it, they needed each other too much, Maura hoped this was true, she wasn't sure how much longer she could stand without seeing Jane, without talking to her, without just being near her.
It was pathetic really, Maura thought, how much of an effect one single person could have on her. But Maura knew that Jane wasn't just a person, she was the woman she loved, the woman who had saved her, the woman who had brought her to life.
Maura needed air, so she put down the sample she was currently analysing and informed Susie that she was taken her lunch break now, she walked out of the precinct 5 minutes later and sat on a bench outside. She didn't eat, she hadn't felt like eating since the argument, she hadn't felt like doing anything. But she dragged herself into work each day in the hope of seeing Jane.
She felt someone sit down beside her, she breathed deeply, preparing herself for the conversation she was about to have. She turned to face the company she currently had. "Korsak." She said bluntly. "She's hurting Maura. More than she's letting on, she keeps blowing up at everyone, she nearly killed Frankie for sitting on her desk. That's not like the Janie I know." Korsak's fatherly concern for Jane warmed Maura's heart, and it thawed her annoyance at him, it wasn't his fault that she blabbed. "I screwed up Vince. I broke her trust and now she hates me." Maura sighed. He knew how she felt about Jane; he knew how much Jane meant to Maura. "She doesn't hate you Maura, she's pissed as hell, but she doesn't hate you." Korsak looked at her and gave her a reassuring smile, "I don't think she could."
"Of course she hates me" Maura whispered. "How could she not?"
"She loves you." Stated Korsak, "more than she would willing to admit"
"How do you know?" Maura asked hope shining in her eyes.
"It's my job to detect things Doctor." And with that Korsak got up and walked down the street, heading towards the donut shop.
Maura sat on the bench for the rest of her lunch break, thinking about what Korsak had meant. By the end of her break, she had reached two conclusions; one she needed to make it up to Jane and two she would do anything to do so.
As Maura got into the lift to go to the morgue, she started to formulate a plan to get Jane back, and hopefully make Jane hers.
A/N: rizzles in the next chapter? Maybe…
