Chapter 9

She could feel the blade near her throat ,his body was now pressed against hers a single tear escaped her eyes Maura is gone she should have just let it go . The next thing she knew was the knife being stabbed in the table behind her and he was gone. She wouldn't dare to open her eyes with her breath hitched in her throat, she heard the door slam .her body flinched and she opened her eyes slowly. The first thing she saw was Maura still leaning on the sofa and staring at Jane with cold eyes. Jane was shaking and didn't feel her hand flying to her mouth to muff the sobs or the fact that she was now on the floor shaking. Maura is gone, this isn't her. You idiot, what did you expect to find here? She wished she had listened to Korsak and didn't come here. Maura had a mocking smirk on her face and as she made her way to sit on the sofa she said "leave Jane". Maura`s heart was breaking in the site of Jane, she wanted to run and hold Jane it`s for the best Maura. Don't be selfish, let her hate you.

Fifteen minutes later, Jane had composed herself and drowned in her thoughts once again as she looked at Maura`s head above the sofa as she was watching TV. Ok, what do I know? Nothing! Focus, those men could have easily killed me. They didn`t kill, why? The Maura that I knew is far long gone. This Maura is cold, so cold. When I woke up the first time I could have sworn that she didn't change at all, she held me. She soothed me; she took care of my wounds. And her voice was warm again. I can`t tell anymore, what did she mean when she said' I'll take care of it` well at least I know now that she didn`t mean killing me . Wait! She keeps insisting that I leave why? Maybe she is in some sort of trouble. This is just hopeful thinking Jane accept the facts already! Her mind fought with itself. Jane bit her lip and decided to go with her gut. She got up and went to the sofa. "The door isn't this way" Maura didn't take her eyes off the screen.

"I know" Jane took a seat at the end of the sofa.

Jane hoped that sitting there quietly would make Maura open up a little, but Maura just kept avoiding Jane's gaze. after a while, Jane thought that it would be a good idea to break the silent by talking about her family and see what Maura`s reaction would be."So, um….ma has been taking good care of bass"

"I know" Maura said quietly without realizing what she just said, so Jane decided to carry on. Jane kept talking and talking about everything and anything came to her mind about them until finally and she can see the aggregation building in Maura`s face. Maura huffed and said "I know Jane! just because I can`t come back does not mean I couldn't keep track of everyone" Maura took sharp inhale realizing what she just said, Jane's eyes widened .

Maura pretended to watch TV again to avoid Jane's questioning eyes. What have I done? You couldn't keep that information to your self could you? "Maura" Maura was ignoring Jane "Maura!" Jane had enough of this she jumped to Maura`s side and screamed "MAURA!" She grabbed Maura from her upper arms and started shaking her furiously. "LOOK AT ME; I HAVE HAD ENOUGH OF THIS ACT! STOP ACTING So Cold!" Jane shouted ,Maura looked everywhere but Jane's eyes.

"If you had enough then maybe you should leave" Maura`s voice was just above a whisper. That just made Jane angrier

"NO I`M NOT LEAVING DO YOU HEAR ME? I`M NOT LEAVING! DEAL WITH IT!" Maura winced as Jane tithed her grab on Maura. Realizing what she was doing, she let go of Maura. "I'm not leaving." she said quietly looking at her hands in her lap. Maura sat there in shock when her phone rang. She didn't pick it up she just let it ring as she observed Jane. One of the men burst the door gasping for air and said "we have a problem"
