A week had passed since receiving the text from Maura. Jane was in hell. Everything in her was screaming, threatening to spill out. She managed to keep calm in the presence of others; after all, she was the strong one. Behind closed doors, she was a wreck. She couldn't remember the last time she had eaten, the thought of food made her want to vomit. She was a shell of her former self, going through the motions. Her family tried helping, they told her everything would be all right, that she'd find someone better.

This angered her. This was Maura Isles. The most beautiful woman she had ever laid eyes on, she was breathtaking. Maura Isles was the love of her life. Jane would have given her life if it meant saving Maura's. Hell she still would. Before Maura came along life meant nothing to Jane, she was careless. She never waited for backup. She followed her own rules. She never gave much thought to her own life, part of her job was risking her life and she was okay with that. Then Maura came into her life and she never looked back.

"Everyone I'd like to introduce you to Dr. Maura Isles, she's the new Chief Medical Examiner." Cavanaugh explained. Jane took in her beauty.

"Wow, Um I mean hi I am Jane Rizzoli. Well Detective Rizzoli." Jane stammered. Who was this woman and why was Jane nervous.

"Nice to meet you Detective Rizzoli, I'm Dr. Maura Isles."

"I know you just got introduced to the entire room." Jane said sarcastically.

"Right, I did. Didn't I?" Maura blushed. Jane couldn't help but smile, this woman was adorable.

"Well I should be going. Nice meeting you Detective!" Jane watched her walk away.

In the coming weeks, Jane didn't see much of Maura. She was assigned to another medical examiner, but every time she did, she got butterflies. Jane Rizzoli never got butterflies. Jane tried to play it cool, when she saw Maura approaching her at the elevator.

"So I heard about the party the Homicide department threw to welcome Detective Cooper. Did you attend?" Maura asked.

"No I didn't, I was pretty tired last night went straight home." Jane replied. Wow way to sound cool Rizzoli. Why was Maura trying to make small talk, they had barely said more than two words to each other, since their meeting two weeks ago. Jane had come to believe that Maura disliked her. This didn't change that she was crushing hard.

"I was invited, but chose to stay in with a glass of wine." Maura said looking up at Jane. "I'm more of a beer person myself." Jane smiled.

"DING"

"It was nice running into you Detective."

"Please, call me Jane." She said walking into the elevator. "Maura is going to be a part of my life, I just know it." Jane thought to herself. She didn't know how hard she would fall in love, but she did know that they would at least be friends.

Jane wished she knew then what she knew now, that Maura would break her heart. Would she have run? On the other hand, was the pain she was going through worth all the good times she had shared with Maura? Jane was too tired to answer that question. She began to drift off to sleep, when her phone chimed.

Jane I need to pick a few things up. Do you think you will be home tomorrow? –M.

This was too much. Did she have it in her to see Maura?

Do you want me to be here? –J.

She wanted to see Maura. Would Maura look happy? Did she want to see Jane?

Yes, I would like you to be there. –M.

This made Jane's head spin, she hadn't been ready for this answer. Maura wanted to see her. Jane had trouble sleeping that night.

"I don't care who she thinks she is!" Jane yelled.

"Come on Jane it's not a big deal. I doubt she was trying to make you feel stupid." Frost said trying to calm her down. It wasn't working.

"I don't care what she was going for; she embarrassed me in front of the whole department." Jane was angry. Maura had made a fool of her in front of everyone.

"If I never see that woman again it will be too soon; she can take her fancy degree and shove it." Jane huffed out on her way to the elevator.

Jane sat at her desk and thought how angry she had been that day. She stared at the clock her class didn't start for another hour. She had gotten to work early, her mind a wreck. She was trying to keep occupied, but all she could think was how she was going to see Maura this afternoon.

"Come on Ma, I'm not in the mood. I just want to go home." Jane whined.

"It's alright Jane go on without me, I'll ask Frankie for a ride." Angela said wiping down the counters.

"You sure Ma?"

"Yes, Jane go ahead, I'll be awhile longer. Be safe I love you."

"Love you Ma." Jane walked to her car when she heard a voice calling out her name.

"Detective Rizzoli" Jane stopped in her tracks and turned around. "Detective I just wanted to apologize for the other day. I meant no harm. I was only…"

"No worries I'm over it." Jane cut her off.

"Well I'm glad; I did not like the idea of you disliking me." Maura responded with a smile.

"So Detective, do you have a number I could reach you at? You know for work purposes of course." Maura practically whispered.

"I told you call me Jane, Are you hitting on me Dr. Isles?" Jane said eyebrows raised. She was still a bit mad at this woman, but how could she say no to those eyes. They were beautiful; she could stare at them for the rest of her life and be happy.

"You seem like a very interesting person and I'd like to get to know you Jane." Jane melted and put her number in Maura's phone.

"I have to get going, I'm pretty beat." Jane said walking the remaining distance to her car. As she clicked her seatbelt on, she heard the chime of her phone.

Hey -M.

Jane felt like a schoolgirl reading the text. Maura had wasted no time, it was so simple yet it meant so much.

Hi – J.

Smooth Rizzoli, so smooth. She put the car in drive and drove towards home, her phone chimed. The whole way home she cursed the traffic she couldn't wait to see what Maura had responded. As soon as she parked, she reached for her phone.

Tell me about yourself Jane – M.

Jane blushed. Where should she start? That night Jane and Maura texted like teenagers. Jane had butterflies, she barely knew this woman, but she felt like she could tell her anything. She forgot how exhausted she was; she wanted to talk to Maura forever.

It is getting late I should get some sleep. I hope to see you tomorrow. Goodnight – M.

This made Jane sad, she didn't want to say bye just yet.

Goodnight Maura – J.

As Jane drifted off to sleep, she realized something, she Jane Rizzoli was in love with Dr. Maura Isles. She smiled and said to herself, "She will be mine."

Jane barely made it through the day. She couldn't concentrate, her mind kept wandering to Maura. How they met, when she knew she was in love. She caught herself on the verge of crying plenty of times, but she kept strong. She hated that even after Maura had walked out on her, she could still be so crazy about her. This made her angry. Who did Maura think she was? She couldn't just snap her fingers and expect Jane to be there. If she wanted her things, she would have to do it according to Jane's schedule.

Busy tonight. Have to reschedule. I'll let you know when it's okay to come by. –J.

She had to be strong she had to let Maura know that she couldn't just walk all over her. Her phone buzzed, it was Maura calling. Jane started hyperventilating. Texting Maura was hard; she couldn't handle hearing her voice right now. She hit ignore.

Please Jane do not shut me out, today is the only day I can come by. Can we work something out? –M.

Jane almost gave in she hated hurting Maura.

No –J.

She felt empowered, it was a start, and she hadn't given in. For the first time in a long time, Jane smiled.
