Hey guys! Don't forget to leave a review on the comments. Sometimes I like to take some of your advice and put them in my stories.

Frankie's POV
It's been such a long day. Horribly long day. I can't believe I did that. It probably wasn't going to work out anyway. She would never be into a guy like me. I should've just let her go first.. Maybe she would've said something to me that would convince me to- no. She wouldn't have. I would've been embarrassed and I probably would've been distracted. Well, more distracted than I was today. It was the right thing to do. Going first was the right thing.
But why does the right thing always feel wrong? And- I mean.. See? She's rubbing off on me! Why do I feel like it was selfish and and wrong..
I take a seat on my couch and let out a sigh. Like I said, a very long day. It's been so long that I forgot to check my messages. Let's do this now I guess.
I pull out my phone and start flipping through everything.

Missed Calls
Jane (6)
Ma (2)
Jesus Jane how many time are you going to text me? It's not like I fell off the phase of the earth. Plus I was sitting right across from her.. Oh no wait.. She was out on a case with Maura. Why does it seem that Maura always comes into play? What is this?
If it was important, she'd call more than ten times. I swipe the cold and untouched screen of my phone and click on Jane's messages. Oh.. Wasn't I supposed to come over tonight?
Eh. Not really in the mood to go anywhere.
I press on the little phone icon and dial her number. I really just want to sit here and just pack up.
"Frankie!" Jane screams through the phone. Goodness.. She's becoming more like Ma each day. "Yeah?" I say back. Not really in the mood for a nasty comeback. "You're coming over tonight right?" She asks anxiously.
Oh.. Shit! I totally forgot.
"Oh.. Oh that's right. I promised you that tonight I'd come over." I say to her. I really don't want to. I just want to sit here and do nothing. Or at least pack all this crap up. "You better not bail on me. I have beer! And it's not lite this time. I'm talking about the hard stuff that Daddy used to drink after a hard days work." She tells me.
I wouldn't bail on her. She knows that. "Okay. I'll be there. 7?" She gives me a little laugh because she knows she just won this little fight we just had. "Good. Oh and uh.. What's this I hear about you moving? To New York.."
My heart starts beating faster. She knows?"
"Uh.. Yeah! I umm.. How'd you know?" I say back- Ma. The only other person I know is Maura and she wouldn't tell Jane even if Jane forced her to. She promised.
"That doesn't matter at the moment. But hey. Congrats little brother." She says through the phone. I can feel her smile.
"Thanks. I'll see you at 7." I say right before I hang up.
Maura's POV
Wine is my best friend. Wine. Wine. Wine. I lift the glass up to have another sip after this horrible horrible day. Frankie is moving and he said the kiss was a mistake. Angela caught me crying this morning. Why does she always walk in during my worst moments. What the hell? So now, I'm sitting here. Alone. Well no. I have my wine.
I didn't even get the chance to tell him how I feel about the whole situation that occurred. I don't even know what I would've said to him. I was just hoping that he was going to say the right thing instead of the wrong.. I should've just let myself go first.. No. That wouldn't have been polite.
As the glass is two inches away from my mouth, the phone rings. I pick up the phone and look at the caller ID. Jane Rizzoli. Not really in the mood. But, I pick it up anyway.
"Yes, Jane?" I say into the phone. I really just want to chuck it at the wall. "Hey. Maura. Are you feeling up for drinks? At my house though. Not really feeling the whole going out!" But I'm not really "feeling" going anywhere at all. Except for my bed that is.
"I don't know Jane. I'm not in the mood to do much. It's been one of those days." I reply to her. "C'mon! If you're going to tell me what's happening I might as well just make you feel better by having you drink! It doesn't even have to be alcoholic drinks. It could be that gourmet coffee crap that you always drink." She says back. I laugh a little bit as I roll my eyes. She always makes me feel a little better.
"No no. I need some hard and strong wine." I respond. She laughs hysterically into the phone and that sets me back a little. "Don't you mean hard liquor?" She says with a little laugh.
"I'm not a liquor type of person Jane. It took me a very long time to drink that beer that you wanted me to try." She sighs and says, "I have red. Is that okay with you?"
She knows it's more than okay. One mention of red wine and I'm already there. "Jane. I don't know. I'm not really willing to leave the comforts of my couch. Or my bed. Or anywhere outside of my house really. Plus I have some wine in my hand. I don't want to be driving home drunk. Tipsy Maura is not a good Maura" I say to her. I just want to stay home and be alone.
"I'll give you a ride home. Or Ma can just pick you up. So I'll see you at 6:30? Great! Yay!" She says to me and hangs up. She knows me well enough to say that because I would've just convinced her that I was staying in the comforts of my own home. Sobbing to myself about the horrible events that went on today.
Technically not sobbing.. I'm Doctor Isles. I don't sob.
Well, good thing I haven't changed out of my clothes and into my pajamas yet.
Jane's POV
"Okay. They're both coming tonight. Now what?" I say into the phone. "Who's coming at what time?" She says to me.
"Maura at 6:30, Frankie at 7!" I reply. I just want this to go over well. "That seems like a good enough time span. Maybe prepare Maura before he gets there?" She tries giving me advice.
Prepare? Prepare.. What the heck does she mean by prepare? "What?" I ask her very confused. "You know! Just tell her that he's going to be there. Prepare her for that! It's least you can do after budding into their love lives."
'It's the least I can do' uh. No. She butts into my life all the time and she never tries to make it up to me! Like that time she walked in on me and Casey.
Is she crazy? Maura doesn't even know that I know that she likes Frankie. She doesn't even know that I know about the kissing! She doesn't know that I know that she kissed him! Or he kissed her.. I don't know. I just know that lips were met and feelings were displayed between my brother and best friend.. Ew..
But I honestly just want the best for them! They'd make a beautiful and funny couple. It's just that I don't want to picture my baby brother and best friend in bed and.. Making babies.. Ew..
"Ma! Are you crazy?" I whisper.. Why am I whispering? It's not like Maura's here. She'll be here soon though.
"Look Janie sweetie, just play it along. Maybe tell them that you need to go out and get something from the store. Maybe dog food for the dog. Or! I could stop over and say that I need your help with something? Just so you can get them alone together." She says giving me options to pick from.
I love my mother. She's so sweet.
"I don't know. I just went shopping with Maura last week and bought a big bag of dog food while we were there. I mean I could say that I gave some to Melanie upstairs but.." I say into the phone hoping she gets the hint that I want her here. "You know what? I'll just come over and make something up!" Ma says to me.
"Great. I'll see you at 7:45? I want them to have a little time hanging out. But if everything goes wrong then I'll need you to come earlier." Is that too late? 7:45? Maybe 7:30?
"Okay, perfect." She agrees before she hung up the phone.
Perfect. Hopefully everything will be perfect.
