A/N: Allright guys, this is the ending to She's The Man... Or Not. I hope you've had as much fun reading it as I had writing it. And I hope that the ending suits you. Next week Crashing In Or Out Of Love will take it's spot, so I'll be updating that story twice a week. If you hadn't had a chance to check it out, I would really like it if you did :) :). Anyway, on with the story!

Several painful minutes passed as Jane stood there waiting for Maura to say something. Anything. She swallowed nervously, playing with the wig in her hands. She kept turning it over, running her hands through the short spiky brown hair. Her eyes kept going from Maura to anything in the room and back to Maura. The honey blonde just stood there gaping at Jane.

"Maura? Please say something." Jane's voice betrayed the emotions she was feeling. She could feel her throat constrict as she tried to swallow, her eyes pleading Maura to say something.

The sound seemed to snap Maura out of her haze. She snapped her mouth shut, fixating a glare onto the girl in front of her.

"How dare you." She started, her jaw clenched. "How dare you let me believe you were a guy? How dare you let me care about you! Let me love you!"

Jane watched as Maura started pacing, her eyes never leaving Jane's. She stopped pacing, only to march right up to Jane and shove a finger in her face.

"How can you do this to me?! How could you lie to me like this?!" Jane swallowed. She kept quiet for a few seconds, until she found out that Maura was actually waiting for an answer.

"I-I'm sorry." Maura snorted, turning her back to Jane.

"Of course you're sorry. You think that that's what I want to hear. That it will make everything all right. Well it won't! You tricked me; you tricked me into liking you. Tricked me into telling you everything!"

Jane took a step forward. "I didn't think Maura. I just wanted you to notice me. And you didn't when it was me." Maura scoffed, turning back to face Jane.

"So you thought why not dress up as a guy and deceive her?" The young girl shook her head vigorously.

"That was never my intention; I need you to know that! But when you really took an interest in me-" Maura cut her off. "In Jake. Not in you!" Jane bit her lip. "In me. I'm Jake… Jane. The only difference is the wig and clothes. It's still me. You took an interest in me and I didn't want it to end. I really liked you and then you started telling me about your past and everything that happened to you and I just wanted to make you feel better. And I fell in love with you."

"You fell in love with me? Tried to make me feel better? By lying to me?! Great job… Jane." Maura stressed her real name, venom dripping of her words.

Jane took a breath, trying to get the words right. "I wanted to tell you sooner. But then you showed up at school and when I tried talking to you as myself… you barely even looked at me! And the way you looked at me when I was dressed as Jake… I never meant for this to happen. I just wanted you to be happy, wanted me to be happy."

"So you did this for yourself? To feel some sort of… of… something?" Maura glared at her, shaking her head in distaste. She was so angry with the other girl that she couldn't even find the right words. "You're pathetic. And to think I felt something for you."

There was a silence, before Jane heard a sob come from Maura. Her heart broke at the sound, knowing that it was her doing. She took a step forward, ready to comfort Maura, when she realized she would only make it worse.

"Thank you Jane. Thank you for showing me that I really can't trust anyone." Maura furiously wiped at her eyes, angry at herself for showing such vulnerability in front of Jane. She didn't want to give her the satisfaction of seeing what the raven haired girl was doing to her, but her emotions were overwhelming her and she needed to let it out somehow, or she would burst.

"I'm really sorry Maura. I can't tell you how sorry I am. But you need to know that I didn't fake anything." Maura laughed. A sharp short laugh that hurt Jane's ears.

"You didn't fake anything? Try everything!" Jane swallowed, feeling the tears behind her eyes.

"Not my emotions. I didn't fake any of that! I really do love you!" Jane waved her hands around, trying to convey what she was feeling through them.

"Don't." Maura warned her tone dangerously scary. "Don't even think about going there. You lost the right to love or even feel anything for me the moment you took of that wig. The moment you showed me that everything was just a lie. To be honest, I don't even think you had that right to begin with."

Again, painful seconds passed by as the two just stared at each other. There was so much Jane wanted to tell her, but she wasn't sure if Maura would want to hear it. No, she actually was sure she didn't want to hear it. Everything sounded lame. A pathetic excuse that would make only Jane feel better. All she really wanted to do was to hold Maura. To show her that she did care about her, that she did love her.

It was as if time slowed down from the moment the idea popped into Jane's head. She felt her legs carry her towards Maura; saw the honey blonde look at her with weary eyes. Saw her eyes widen when she saw Jane get dangerously close. She watched as Maura tried to step back. Saw her own arms reach up to grab Maura's shoulders as she pulled the older girl close to her and claimed her lips. She poured every emotion she was feeling into the kiss. She wanted Maura to know how sorry she was, how much she loved her and that she didn't want to cause her any pain.

When she pulled back, she found Maura's eyes shut tight, her lips slightly parted, her breath short and ragged. Jane swallowed, thinking that this was a good sign. She was still attracted to her right? But when Maura opened her eyes, the thought left Jane's head immediately. She wanted to step back, tell her that she was sorry, but the slap resounded loudly in the room, the sting on her cheek making her aware of the mistake she made.

"If you touch me one more time." Maura warned, her hands clenched into fists at her side. "I will make sure you don't touch anyone else… ever again." Jane raised a hand to her cheek, a shocked look on her face. She could feel a tear escape, not bothering to wipe it away.

She took several steps back. Partly to give Maura more room, but also because she was afraid Maura would slap her again if she didn't. She didn't know how much time passed. The shock of what just happened still fresh in her mind. She raised her eyes to meet Maura's and what she saw there scared her. She had never seen anyone this angry. Saw this much hate in anyone's eyes. This image would be burned into her mind for the rest of her life, reminding her day and day again of how stupid she had been. Of how much one simple lie could affect people.

When she opened her mouth to talk, her voice sounded raspy, like she hadn't used it in days. "I know you're angry. I know you hate me. I know you don't want anything to do with me. But I hope you will someday forgive me." Maura kept quiet, her eyes unblinking. Jane continued.

"And I hope that even though all of this wasn't what it seemed, I hope I did bring you some kind of happiness. Made you feel loved even if it was for a short moment. And I hope with all my heart, that you will find someone who will love you more than me. Who will give you what I can't. Who can make you happy without lying. With who you can be yourself. It's the least you deserve. You're an amazing person Maura. You don't deserve anything that has happened to you. And I hope that other people will finally realize that and will befriend you and love you. Again I'm sorry. I'm so sorry for having to put you through this. I really hope you will forgive me one day. And even if you don't I won't blame you. As long as you'll be happy again."

Tears fell from Jane's eyes as she said this, shocking herself with her words. She let her hand fall down, feeling the heat on her cheek from where Maura had slapped her. Maura had watched on indifferently, a look of disbelief in her eyes. Jane watched as the honey blonde opened her mouth and even if the situation looked terrible, she still had a flicker of hope that she could forgive her.

"Get out. Get out my room. Get out of my life. Get out and stay out. And if you don't I'll call the police and have you arrested." Jane nodded and turned to leave the room. There was nothing that she could say or do that would make Maura change her mind. Nothing that would make the honey blonde ask her to stay. It would be the best for the both of them if Jane would just leave.

"Oh and Jane?" Jane looked at Maura over her shoulder, her heart skipping a beat. "There is no way I will ever forgive you." Another tear escaped Jane's eye as she walked out the door, not looking back at the love of her life. She knew Maura well enough that the honey blonde was serious. She wouldn't even forgive herself, let alone someone who had gone through everything Maura has.

As she closed the door, she knew that it would be the last time she would ever see her. There weren't any signs of hives forming when Maura told her she would never forgive her. That alone crushed every shimmer of hope Jane had in her. But as she walked off, she did pray that everything she told Maura would happen. Jane couldn't be mad; she didn't have the energy in her to be. She would have reacted exactly the same if she was in her shoes.

Stepping out into the dark night, she looked up at the stars. Her eyes caught the flicker of a falling star and she closed them, making a wish. Who knows, maybe one day it would come true. Maybe one day Maura would truly forgive her.

A/N: So, it's not the happy ending that some of you hoped for, but I didn't plan on ending it happily to begin with. There's just been too much lies and betrayal to actually be able to turn it around. I hope you don't hate me for this! Can't exactly change it either! Let me know what you thought. I'm looking forward to hearing your thoughts. Thank you everyone who reviewed, favorited, followed! Also thank you to all the guests who took their time to review! Means a lot. Thank you for your time :)
