"I wish you'd stayed at home and waited until I text you..." That was all Maura had heard before she ran out of Jane's apartment. She doesn't want me. I can't sit there and listen to that, not now. I'm not strong enough for that, not yet. In one day I've realised who I truly love and now in the same day I'm going to find out she doesn't want me? I need time to prepare, I'm not ready. I can't lose her as a friend as well by reacting badly. This is Jane, I'd rather have her a friend than not in my life at all...but I need time. She ran to her car desperately trying to stem the flow of tears falling from her face.

"Maur!?" Jane yelled at the medical examiner who was fleeing toward her car. The detective flew down the stairs and managed to clasp her hand around the ME's arm just before she opened the car door. There was so much momentum behind her body that as she spun Maur round to face her she accidently slammed her back into the car and pinned her there using her body.

Maura's breath left her body in a rush as Jane slammed into her. She gasped in shock and struggled to control her breath as they stood nose to nose. She couldn't look up into those warm chocolate eyes, it was too recent, too real and she'd do something stupid if she looked at her. "L-leave me alone Jane I can't do this now."

Jane raised her hand to caress Maura's upset face but froze when she heard those whispered words. She felt pain in her side akin to when she was shot. Of course it was all her in head, just like Maura explained to her when she was suffering with pain from the scar, it was psycho-something or other. She knew it but it still hurt and this hurt even more because it reverberated straight to her heart. She can't do this. It's over.

Maura felt Jane slump and step away slightly, it gave her the room to open her car door, climb in and lock the door. She took a steadying breath and wiped any tears away, she didn't want to be compromised when she drove. She heard the muffled sound of her name being called but she refused to look, simply started up the car and drove away.

Jane was left in the street, tears stinging her eyes and a hollow feeling deep in her stomach. She felt sick and yet numb at the same time. Her hands started to ache and she rubbed the scars to attempt to alleviate the pain. It didn't work and she knew why. She means everything to me. Even if she doesn't love me I need her. I can't lose her as my friend. I need to fix this. She ran to her car, leapt in and drove like a maniac using her siren and not caring about the morals behind it.

Maura was opening her front door when she heard the sirens approaching. She knew who it was and she hurried with the door as Jane's unmarked screeched to a stop outside and she jumped out yelling her name. Maura only just managed to shut and lock the door from the inside as Jane's body pounded against the door. There were several bangs on the door from the outside and Maura burst into tears and slid down the door to the floor. Jane's cries were breaking her heart all over again and she shut her eyes and clenched her fists to try and not give into her own feelings.

Jane wasn't going to give in, today had been the best day of her life and she wasn't going to just let it go. She made her way around the back to the back door yelling Maura's name. She stormed in through the back door still yelling for Maura until she came to the front door and saw the medical examiner.

Maura could hear Jane constantly yelling her name and only realised what she was doing when she heard the back door being flung open, she stood up in shock, she had hoped that Jane would leave for the night and they could have a adult conversation without letting their emotions get in the way. She went to move away from the door when Jane came charging at her furiously.

Before either of the women could get a word out to one another a voice shouted "Jane Clementine Rizzoli!"

Jane rolled her eyes and without turning to see her Ma in her pyjamas she replied "Ma get out! This doesn't concern you."

"The hell it doesn't! If my girls are fighting I wanna know why!"

"Ma please!" The anger had left Jane, her body sagged with the overwhelming emotion and she looked at Maura with glassy eyes.

Maura felt her heart break again as they made eye contact for the first time and she struggled to hold back her tears when she saw Jane upset. She wanted to reach out and hold her but Angela moved in between them with her hands on her hips.

"Alright you two. What's going on huh?" Maura and Jane both looked at their feet and then at each other, neither one really sure what to say. "So you two finally figured out that you both love the same person?" Jane did her best impression of a fish whilst Maura frowned at her incredulously.

When Jane gained control of her mouth she managed to squeak out "Ma how the hell can we be in love with the same person when I'm in love with her?" Jane pointed at Maura.
