A/N: Okay so before I begin this chapter, I just wanted to say that I am so very sorry for taking so long to update. I've been very busy with school and then some stuff has been going on at home and I just haven't had quite enough time to write. But this just all came to me at once last night so if it seems like a piece of $h!t then I am really sorry lol. But hopefully you all like and enjoy this chapter (kind of). The NEXT one... You may really hate me. I know I said that last chapter about this chapter but what I wanted to put in this chapter well... It wouldn't have been right because... Well for one... A lot of shit will happen in this chapter... Just saying... So, without further ado, here's chapter 14!

Ch. 14 - Chaos Lives in Everything

Later that evening, Jane grabbed Maura by the hand and led her up the tree near the roof. With an athletic jump, Jane landed on top of the roof gracefully and stretched out her hand for Maura to grab it.

"Come on, I won't let you fall Maur I swear." Jane promised, still reaching out for Maura's hand.

"Jane, you cannot be serious. It's been snowing lately and the roof is probably full of ice, or at the least very slippery." Maura said a cautious tone to her voice.

"Maura, I swear to you, I just climbed up her earlier when I was waiting for you to get back from the store with your mom. It's not slippery at all. The sun melted away what snow was up here, so now it's just like... wet but I did bring a blanket, remember?" Jane said, as she lifted the big, thick blue blanket that she held in her right hand. "Please? Just for a little bit." Jane coaxed, her hand still stretched out for Maura to take it.

With an audible sigh, Maura gave in and grabbed Jane's hand, which hoisted her up on top of the roof. With a light thud, she landed next to Jane. Maura smiled meekly at Jane and looked down at the ground. "Well... At least we up aren't too high. You do know I'm afraid of heights."

"Ha-ha, yeah I think I remember." Jane started, laying out to blanket for them to lie on. "It was, what, two years ago when we went to the fair and I somehow convinced you to ride the Ferris wheel with me?"

"You did so by betting me $20 that I wouldn't be able to ride it. I don't like being told what I can and cannot do, so I did it to prove to you that I could ride the Ferris wheel." Maura said, shaking her head at the memory.

"Yeah yeah, then when we got to the very top and we stopped, you started freaking out and yelling, 'Oh my God, we're stuck! We're going to die! We'll never be able to get down from here!'" Jane laughed as she recalled that hot August day. "Man, your face was priceless! I can remember the old wench in front of us looking back and shaking her head."

"Ha-ha, yeah and you said 'What's your problem you old hag? Haven't you ever heard of someone being afraid of heights?' Ha-ha-ha, she didn't look back anymore after that." Maura laughed, shaking her head once more.

"Well, she didn't need to look at you like you were an idiot. It was my fault anyhow. If I never would've asked you to ride that thing, you would've been alright."

"Yes, but then you wouldn't have known I was afraid of heights. I don't like sharing that information with too many people." Maura admitted as she sat on the blanket next to Jane. "It would just cause people to make fun of me more."

Jane gave Maura a sad smile and scooted closer to her, favoring the warmth radiating from Maura's small figure. "I'm glad I was never mean to you like that. You know, making fun of you and such."

"Well, you still did pick on me sometimes." Maura stated as she rested her head against Jane's shoulder.

Jane was taken aback by this. "Since when did I pick on you?" Jane asked, amused.

"Whenever I tripped over my own shoe when we were playing basketball, you called me clumsy. Then there was that time when you laughed at me whenever I first started my period-"

"Oh come on! I was just kidding both times! I wasn't serious! Plus, I would never like... Intentionally make fun of you or make you feel bad." Jane said searching Maura's face and seeing the sadness in her eyes. "Maur... I really am sorry about that. I never meant to make you feel bad or anything." Jane apologized opening her arms up to give Maura a warm hug.

Maura fell into her open arms and laid her head against Jane's shoulder. "I know. I guess I'm just overly sensitive."

"No... Well yeah but that's one of the many things I love about you." Jane said, rubbing Maura's back. As Jane pulled back, she gave Maura a soft smile before laying back on the roof. "Man, these stars sure are beautiful tonight." Jane said, awestruck of how the stars shone in the bright moonlight.

"I know, isn't it beautiful? I can even see Canis Major." Maura exclaimed with a bright smile.

Jane turned her head to look at her, clearly confused. "What's 'Canis Major?'"

"Oh! It's a constellation. 'The Great Dog' is also what it's known as. The brightest star that makes up the constellation is Sirius. Sirius is known as the 'Dog Star.' It's a double star. It's also about 20 times brighter than the sun. Fun fact, huh?" Maura concluded, the bright smile still on her face. Though Jane didn't quite appear to be listening to her. She was just staring at her. "Jane, what is it?"

"You're amazing, I just want you to know that." Jane said barely above a whisper. Maura blushed ever so slightly and looked away from Jane. Grabbing Maura's face, Jane made her look at her and placed a warm kiss upon her lips. Pulling away, Jane looked deep into Maura's hazel orbs. "This night couldn't be any more perfect." Jane smiled, her lips meeting Maura's once more.

... ... ... ... ... ... ... The Next Morning ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...

Jane nestled against the soft silk next to her and breathed in the fresh scent of wild strawberries. Squinting her eyes in confusion, her eyes slowly fluttered open and Jane realized where the smell was coming from. Her face was pretty much buried in Maura's hair, her right arm draped across Maura's midsection and her legs intertwined with Maura's. Jane laughed to herself and laid her head back against the pillow, allowing her fingers to run through Maura's silky strands. She could get used to this; waking up next to Maura in the morning, running her-

"What the hell?" Jane murmured to herself as her senses awoke and she heard the faint sound of yelling. She quickly could pick out Frankie's distinctive voice but couldn't quite distinguish the other voice. Carefully untangling herself from Maura's grasp, Jane tiptoed to the door and pressed her ear against it. At first all she heard was loud mumbling, then she heard the loud croaking of Tommy. Her brow furrowed and she threw the door open, but closed it back quietly, walking with authority out to the living room where the voices were coming from.

"I didn't do shit and you can't prove it Frankie!" Tommy yelled, pointing a finger at his older brother.

"So Maura's just lying then huh? Just like you think Jane was?" Frankie defended, not hearing Jane come in.

"They're both nothing but lying bitches anyhow." Tommy retorted, but he wanted to take those words back as Jane came into view. Instead of backing down like his gut told him to, he stood his ground and pushed his chest out.

"So I'm a bitch now Tommy?" Jane asked, hurt evident in her voice. "Is that really what you think of me?"

"It's what I know Jane. All you ever do is try to take away my friends!" Tommy yelled at her.

"I don't give two shits about who your friends are! And frankly, if you think that Craigis your friend, you're nothing but a dumbass!" Jane yelled back at him. Before she knew it, Tommy sprung towards her and tackled her to the ground. Just as he was about to punch her in the face, he was thrown backwards. Jane pushed herself up from the ground and took in the sight in front of her. Frankie was on top of Tommy, pummeling him and Tommy, like the bitch he is, screamed out like a baby.

Not seeing any other option, Tommy lifted his leg up and kicked Frankie in his balls, sending him to the other side of him. As he stood up, he felt rather dizzy, but he was still able to pick out Jane laying down on the floor. His anger flaring up again, he stormed over to her and picked her up by the hair. Once again, as he was about to lay a hand on her, he was grabbed from the back of his neck and flung onto the ground. Half expecting it to be Frankie, Tommy looked back, but became rather confused when he saw Frankie still lying on the ground, writhing in pain. His eyes lifted and he felt fear build up inside of him. "Dad?!"

"What in the hell is your problem Thomas?!" Frank yelled holding Jane in his arms. "You don't ever, ever put your hands on a woman, let alone your sister! There's not a damn reason in the world for you to be hitting her!" He continued, rubbing Jane's back.

Hearing all the commotion, Angela came running out from her bedroom and her eyes set on Frankie, who was still on the floor. "Frankie!" Angela yelled, running over to kneel next to her son. Her eyes were filled with anger as she glared up at Tommy. "What in the hell did you do and why, Thomas Anthony Rizzoli?!"

"Why do you automatically assume it was me?" Tommy yelled.

"Because your sister is over there, shaking with your father's arms wrapped around her and Frankie is lying here on the floor! You explain to me now what the hell happened!"

"I just got home and Frankie started on me! Then Jane came out flapping her jaws and yelling at me, then outta nowhere, Frankie attacks me!" Tommy lied through his teeth, and Frankie wasn't going to let it go unnoticed.

"Don't you dare lie Tommy! You knocked Jane off her damn feet and was about to hit her in the face! That's why I went after you, you dumb idiot!" Frankie yelled, still doubled over on the floor.

"Why were you trying to hit Jane, Tommy?" Frank demanded, still holding Jane in his arms.

This time, Tommy was at a loss for words. He didn't know what to say. So he did the only thing he knew to do in awkward situations. "Well she asked for it! She was all like 'Come at me, bro!' So I did and then Frankie came after me!"

"You are nothing but a Goddamn liar!" Jane finally yelled out, causing everyone to look at her. "You got mad at me because I called you a dumbass for thinking Craig was really a friend to you!"

"He is my friend!" Tommy countered.

"A real friend wouldn't attack your sister then convince you that if she ever tried telling you that, that she's lying!" Frankie retorted, earning surprised glances from Angela & Frank. Both parents looked at Jane for a further explanation.

"Janie? Is that true? Did... Did Craig attack you?" Angela asked, hoping that it really wasn't true. There was no way that it could've been true. She would've noticed it surely... Wouldn't a mother notice if their daughter was assaulted or attacked? When Jane refused to meet hers or Frank's eye, Angela was hit with the tragic truth. Jane didn't have to say anything, her actions said it all. Angela felt like she was hit by a bus. All these feelings and emotions began to rush through her. From hurt to anger to sadness to just feeling helpless. She was angry at herself for not noticing that something was off with her eldest child. Sure, Jane was a little bit more irritable and she was known to fly off the handle for the slightest reason. And then there was the fact that Jane hardly hung out with any male except for Shawn or Frankie. But Angela had put that off as Jane just being Jane and growing up, when all along it was much, much deeper than that.

A movement from the hallway caught Angela's & Frank's attention and both of their eyes diverted to the hallway, where they both saw Maura standing, well, leaning against the wall, tears streaming down her cheeks. Maura knew too. Angela thought to herself. It hurt Angela to know that Jane didn't feel comfortable enough to tell her about what happened, but in a way Angela also understood. Her eyes met Frank's, who looked as if he was about to break down as well. Why he was in the house at that moment didn't really matter to her. She just thanked God that he was here, because he was the one who walked in on all this mess. Who knows what would've happened if Frank hadn't shown up?

Pushing herself to her feet, Angela slowly walked over to Jane and pulled her into her arms. She half expected Jane to pull away, so she was shocked when Jane wrapped both arms around her mother and laid her head against her chest, shaking with tears. Angela let her own tears fall as she held her daughter.

Tommy stood at the far corner of the living room, shocked. He couldn't believe at what just unfolded in front of him. So many emotions and thoughts were running through him at that very moment. Anger, hurt, disappointment, and sorrow. Extreme sorrow. He hadn't believed his own sister. His own flesh and blood. Instead, he believed Craig, which he honestly shouldn't have. Now that he thought about it, the more he realized how odd it was that Craig would've even brought the subject of what happened up, but he quickly denied it and shot it down. At first, Tommy agreed with Craig. He thought Jane had done it because something had went down with her & Tanya and Craig had snitched on them for it. So Jane got back at him by saying he raped her. Tommy even believed that Craig's parents shunned their family from them for the lies that Jane was spreading about Craig. When the truth was, Jane just didn't want to be around them, and Angela & Frank weren't going to make her do anything she didn't want to do. Now all the pieces, all the truth, fell into place and made Tommy see that... It wasn't Jane who lied... But Craig. Feeling anger build up inside him once more, Tommy stormed out of the house, slamming the door shut.

Frank noticed Tommy leave and shook his head, thinking that Tommy was just angry about everyone going against him. That's all he hoped it was anyways. He couldn't bear to think anything else right now. Not with his wife and daughter falling apart right in front of him. Frank felt helpless as he stood there. Even Frankie was sitting in front of the television, tears streaming down his face. Frank looked over at Maura, who looked smaller than ever as she cried against the wall. He wanted to break down too. Just break down and cry, but he knew he had to wait. He had to be strong for his family. Swallowing thickly, Frank wrapped his arms around Angela & Jane. "I'm so sorry Janie." Frank whispered, his tears threatening to fall. But he quickly choked them back as he left the two of them and walked over to Frankie.

Frankie's eyes lifted to look at his father and he shook his head. "I know that... You said men don't cry but... It's just been... It's hard... It's really hard dad." Frankie cried, resting his head against his legs.

"Hey... Men do cry, alright? Everybody cries, it's all part of being human son." Frankie choked as he wrapped his arms around Frankie. "Come here Maura." He called out to the small figure not even 7 feet away from him. Maura slowly lurked over towards them and let her head fall onto Frank's shoulder. He swallowed thickly once more and wrapped his arms around them both.

The Rizzoli family was broken.

... Burbon Hotel - 15 miles northwest of Rizzoli Residence …

*Knock Knock Knock*

Craig sighed heavily as he withdrew his beer from his lips. At the tender age of 19, he was already a major alcoholic, drinking beer whenever his friend Austin had bought it for him. He even spoiled himself at times and drank whiskey or vodka. Today though, he just felt the need to drink a 6 pack. Tommy had left the hotel earlier that morning and he hoped that his youngest cousin didn't get himself into big trouble with his parents. He half expected it to be Tommy whenever he opened the hotel door, so he wasn't too surprised when it was indeed Tommy on the other side of the door.

"Tommy! What's up man? You ain't get into too much-"

Before Craig could continue, Tommy's fist connected with his jaw, sending him sprawled out on the floor. Craig jumped up and glared at Tommy, who was still standing at the door.

"The fuck was that for?" Craig yelled, only to be knocked back down by Tommy's fist.

Tommy was enraged. He was beyond pissed. And the person he was pissed off at was not only the man in front of him, but also the man in the mirror. He was pissed at himself for not believing his sister when she confided in him. He was also pissed at himself for going after his sister, his brother, and his sister's best friend/girlfriend. He had been a horrible brother on all accounts. He knew he needed his ass kicked, so who better to fight than the man who you were mad at? You beat his ass and he beats yours. Win-Win situation.

It didn't shock Tommy when Craig jumped right back up and slammed him into the wall, sending a punch to his gut. But Tommy hardly felt his rib crack from the impact, he just sent blow after blow to the side of Craig's head, pummeling him with much needed punches. It did surprise him though when he was thrown from behind and onto the floor. When he looked up, he noticed that not only was Craig there at the hotel, but so was his whole crew. That being about ten of his close friends; which included Tim, Austin, Reggie, Big Mike and Mickey. Tommy swallowed thickly as he stared at all of them, some of which he knew, the others he didn't. But he certainly wasn't going to back down. He knew it wasn't a smart decision to stand down, but he wasn't going to let all these guys beat on him without a fight of some sort.

Taking in a deep breath, Tommy lunged after Mickey, who was the closest to him and knocked him to the ground. He was picked up by a guy, who was four times the size of his dad, and headbutted him, sending him to the floor as well. Reggie, who was shorter than Tommy was, grabbed him by the throat, but Tommy made short work of him by kicked him in his ribs and throwing him to the side. Tim then grabbed him from behind and put his arms in a lock behind his back. That's when the real beatings proceeded. Austin gave 10 good hits to Tommy's midsection while Big Mike kneed him in the balls. Craig came up and laid hits everywhere; from his face to the back of his head, his back and neck, then his already damaged midsection. When they were finally done using him as their own personal punching bag, they threw a broken Tommy out the back door and into the dumpster.

Tommy spit up blood and tried to get up, though he was unable to. He was sure that at least five of his ribs where broken and his jaw had to be fractured. He couldn't move at all, because both Big Mike (who weighed about as much as a sumo wrestler) and Craig both stomped on his legs and chest. He was brutally beaten, but he knew he had deserved as much. Maybe not as much to be beaten to a bloody pulp but... That's what he had anticipated on happening. Rolling over the side of the dumpster, Tommy landed tail-first on the ground, sending a sharp pain through his back.

"Oh my God! Someone call an ambulance!" A woman called from maybe 20 feet away. Tommy heard her feet running toward him as he began to fall out of consciousness. Heard her frantic cries and screams as he started to fade to black. His eyes slowly fluttered open and he caught a glimpse of who the woman was. He opened his mouth and was barely able to say her name before he slipped into unconsciousness. "Tanya."
