I seriously need to apologise for Chap2! Only for I updated today, I wouldn't have known that the ending Chap had been cut off for some odd reason! I reposted it so alls good! It may confuse you cause of how the beginning of the third Chap begins. The last bit that it had was "Jane being the smartass he is looked over at Lisbon, his 150 watt smile shining-"Then it cut off!
Well this is or might be the finale of the story, whatever you choose! It really doesn't matter to me if you want another chap after this!
Disclaimer: I feel sorry for those who have written over fifty stories and have to write one of these out every chapter!
Well I guess we all know we ain't ever gonna own Simon, Robin, Amanda, Owain, Tim, Bruno or the Mentalist, soooo that's my answer!
Woah that was a long Authors note!
Well shall we finish the journey we begun? Guess we should!
The Mentalist: Journeys end.
Patrick Jane slowly lifted himself from his couch and peacefully wandered to her office, feeling a slight chill run down his spine.
He pushed the door slightly ajar and looked at his Teresa, who sat at her desk and wiped a few tears away, which were still falling since about three hours ago when they had returned to the headquarters.
She leaned forward and bent her arms upward and entwined her fingers, laying her chin on top of them.
`Can I come in Teresa? ` He asked her watching as her eyes trailed up his body and met his eyes.
`Yes` she croaked, her voice breaking but she managed to get him sitting on the couch quietly before she could speak. `Jane. ` She spoke softly and he nodded for her to continue. `I'm so sorry about earlier and the last few weeks. I was a right bitch and you didn't deserve it. `
`Well I wouldn't say "Bitch" Teresa; Maybe a little distant, cold and unfriendly. Defiantly not a bitch though, that just stretching things to a completely different level`
Teresa took in what he said, but either way she knew she had been a bitch, Jane was just being modest.
`I need you to do two things for me though. Okay? But first I need to tell you that you were being a total pain in the ass too. `
`My sincere apologies, Teresa ` He grinned playfully.
`No need for sarcasm Jane .First thing I need you to do is stop being an ass and secondly...`
`If you're asking me to do the first thing, I'm not so sure I can do the second! `
`Anyways, I need you to come out to Lake Eita with me for a week`
Confusion crossed Jane's face at the name and he suddenly realised it.
`You're getting someone into the nursing home there? If it's me, Y'know I can change... a little`
`If I were to put you anywhere it would be a mental institute or your grave! `
`I'm really that bad? ` He asked, looking slightly hurt.
`No`
`Why then? ` He asked confused.
`Well both for your mental health and well being`
Grave? Patrick thought until it finally clicked.
`Yes Jane, you would be with them. `
`But I wouldn't get to see you everyday`
`I'm not the one you love` She stated, pushing her fringe from her eyes and looked saddened.
`Who said I didn't love you? `
`Jane, I don't need to be told. It`s common sense. You might love me as a boss or someone to annoy. But in a romantic way. No Jane, you don't. `
`Do you want me to love you? ` He asked, looking over at her as she looked down at her pen and looked back up.
`Can you come to Lake Eita with me, please? `
He didn't seem to like the way she changed the topic of their conversation, but he decided to play along. She seemed a tad upset.
`Okay Teresa`
`Thank you Jane` she smiled in relief, getting up from behind her desk and sat beside him on her black couch.
What came next shocked him.
Lisbon wrapped her arms around him and hugged him. His tensed muscles relaxed and he gave in, hugging her back.
Lisbon pulled away and looked at him awkwardly trying to think of something, anything to say.
`You're welcome Teresa` He smiled, looking up at her with his blue eyes and she smiled nervously at him.
`So what's all this stuff about Lake Eita? ` He questioned and Lisbon stood back up, pulling something out of the drawers of her desk.
`Ill tell you tomorrow`
`Why not now? ` He asked, sneaking up behind her.
` Because you don't need to know now. That's why`
She turned around and got the shock of her life with him standing behind her, clearly delighted with himself.
`You were just over there a moment ago! ` She exclaimed, looking over and back at Jane and the couch and pointing her finger at the couch.
`Yes my dear, I was`
Lisbon arched her brows and grabbed her bag.
`C'mon Jane, you're coming back to my place`
`Oh really? ` He mused.
This he was happy about!
`Get your coat and that thing you call a scarf`
Jane decided two years ago that he`d attempt to knit himself a scarf. A multi coloured scarf. Except this scarf had alot of gaps in it, so he patched them up with cloth from an old orange pillow.
The thing looked hideous, but he was happy with it.
Jane wandered back into the bullpen and got his scarf and Jacket he had left on the radiator behind his couch that morning to keep them nice and warm for that night when he going to stay with Cho and his girlfriend over Christmas and the new year.
Lisbon waited by the elevator, watching as the levels lowered. 6, 5, 4, 3. The doors binged open and Jane came running down the hall in his puffy Eskimo jacket. They walked into it and the door closed.
Jane looked over at Teresa and he smiled.
`Why are you looking at me? `
`You fascinate me Teresa` He grinned, stroking his chin when his arms crossed.
`Fascinate you? What could possibly fascinate you about me? `
`Everything my dear, everything ` He smiled, which made Teresa feel very uneasy about being in a very claustrophobic space with him there.
` Everything? `
`Y'know your smile, your height, your personality, your background, your make up and your hair. Did I ever mention how nice your hair suits you with that little side fringe? `He asked and she folded her arms.
`Are you trying to suck up to me? ` She asked when the elevator stopped at the lobby and it opened up.
`No just trying to be nice. It's nice to complement people once in a while. It's very flattering` He nodded and Teresa waved it off.
`By the way, what perfume are you wearing? ` He questioned and she stopped and turned to him.
`Celine Dion, sensational. What is this anyway? A questionnaire on me and what I like to buy in a pharmacy? `
`Mmm, I like that scent. I'm a curious person` He shrugged.
`Well anyway, Lake Eita is a holiday resort in a remote little town on the border of Sacramento`
Jane beamed at her and took out his keys and strutted to his car which, coincidentally was parked right next to Lisbon's. `You're bringing me on holiday? `
`Yep, only if you want for the weekend` she offered.
`A weekend away with you would be an honour, my dear` He grinned and she returned it.
His little Citroën DS 21 was coveredin a thick blanket of snow and he unlocked it and turned the heating in the car on.
`Where are you going? ` Asked Lisbon, just about to open up her own car when a snowball hit her on the back of her head.
She angrily looked around until another hit her arm.
`Jane, you're gonna pay for that! ` She exclaimed, gathering a ball of snow from the bonnet of her car and aiming it for his head.
He ducked behind the side of his car and she ran around both cars for him, which earned another snowball to her back.
Jane was lying on his back, blowing warm air at his numb hands and gathered up some snow from behind him.
They were now equal.
A snowball in each of their hands.
`C'mon Jane, get me why don't you? `She smirked, blinking for a moment until she got a snowball to her tummy.
`It'll be my pleasure`
Lisbon fumed. Jane chuckled, that cocky grin playing at his lips again.
She smacked the snowball as hard as she could to his chest, until she felt her feet go from beneath her and she landed on Jane.
They lay face to face and Lisbon still hadn't registered what had happened.
Jane searched her eyes for something, anything and she did the same to his. He wrapped his strong muscily arms around her small waist and locked his lips with hers. She began to run her long fingers through his blond hair and he pulled her closer. She broke the magical moment and stared down at him with a shocked yet happy smile.
`Wow` was all she said until he grinned. `Ya. I've always been told I was a great kisser `
They began to feel the snow swirl around there bodies and Lisbon grabbed some snow and threw it in his face.
Jane began to splutter the snow from his mouth and nose, wiping it away and still smiled at Lisbon's face, which were still only a few inches from his.
The click of someone's phone went off and someone ran off, trudging their way through the snow.
`Smartass` Teresa whispered under her breath.
`I totally agree who in the world would take a picture of us together? `He pondered.
`I was talking about you! `
For once in his life, Patrick Jane didn't know what to say, but he knew one thing he would always know.
That Teresa Lisbon would always be there some way or another for him and that he`d always love her.
Till death do them part.
"Honestly,
Can you believe we cross the world while it's asleep?
I'll never trade it in cause I've always wanted this
And it's not a dream anymore,
It's worth fighting for"
-Looking up by Paramore.
The Mentalist.
Well, that's Santa Jaws/Looking up completed unless you want another Chap to complete this fic!
I changed the title (If it actually changed for me) to Looking up. It is my new favourite song! Really good! Check it out if you haven't already!
I know I named the chapter after Doctor who's last season finale "The journeys end" but on New year's day David Tennant is gone from the show!:(
This may have been a short Fic but there is alot of people I would love to thank!
I would like to thank my sister for giving me the idea of Jane dressing as Santa and getting shot, just to add a bit of drama to the 1st Chapter and the beginning of the second. She loves the mentalist and Jane so she didn't mean it out of badness!
