Devastation and Recovery
Chapter 2
"Jane, Oh Jane!" Maura yelled out from the door as she sat down her luggage and then looked around the house before Jane came running out of the bathroom.
"Maura? I thought you weren't supposed to be back till tomorrow" Jane said as she wiped her hands on the towel before setting down the towel on the counter
"Well, I seen your text and it seemed a little not like you" Maura said looking at Jane "Usually you call me, so I figured something was wrong"
Jane looked down and sighed "Well there is Maura, Bass is…."she stopped afraid of the next words to leave her mouth, looking up at Maura she could tell she already knew what was coming.
Maura had a glisten in her eyes as if she was about to let loose a river of tears, "Did you not feed him Jane? What did you do?" Maura said in a angry voice
Jane looked at her, "He wasn't eating, I tried and I tried to get him to eat but he wouldn't but he died last night" Jane said softly before reaching for Maura's hand but soon felt her rip away
"No Jane, You know how much Bass meant to me and now I have no one to spend my nights with. You just don't understand" Maura said looking at Jane "I want you to leave"
Jane looked at her in awe "You're kidding right?"
"No Jane, I'm not kidding. I don't kid, I'm not Frankie" Maura retorted shaking her head and gave her a straight look
"What the hell is that supposed to mean? Why does Frankie's name have to be in this?" Jane said back giving a firm stance
"Because you guys think everything is a joke, so when I say LEAVE I MEAN LEAVE!" Maura said back
"Well I'm sorry we've don't got stick up our asses all the time" Jane said a little irritated as she grabbed her phone and headed for the door. She went out and slammed the door before leaving Maura's house.
Maura slid down the kitchen counter and down to the floor as she cried, she was so upset. It wasn't that she was mad at Jane but she was there at the moment that she wanted to break down. Bass was everything to her, and she knew Bass was getting old so it wasn't as shocking but she didn't expect to not say goodbye. "Bass, why couldn't you wait until I was back" she cried as she touched where he used to sit. She kept looking at the spot reminiscing of all the good times.
