A/N: I'm sorry for how short this chapter is but I didn't want to make you wait any longer so I decided to upload this part only. Thanks to you all for the patience, adds, faves and reviews! Hope you like this chapter!
Maura awkwardly entered to Alex's room and went straight to her usual place on the right side of the blonde's bed edge. Her gaze immediately traveled to her friend's blue eyes and remained tied to them. Maura wanted Alex to begin the talking; after all, she had been the one who had called.
Alex paced in front of Maura for a few moments. The taller teenager considered all the options she had and took her time to decide which one was the best to start her speech.
She could directly asked Maura what was going on with her and make her respond a question that had been on Alex's mind since the petite girl had brought the issue up: What was the reason of Maura's own suffering? On the other hand, Alex could began telling Maura about her own problems and everything that had happened after the shooting—of course that meant letting her friend know about Olivia and for the blonde that was an immediate reason to discard that option. — But then, another idea appeared on Alex's mind; an idea she considered the most appropriate one: apologizing. So after making Maura wait for endless minutes, Alex stop avoiding her eyes and looked at her sincerely.
"I'm sorry." She simply said. "I'm sorry I've been off. I have no real excuse for that. We all have our own problems and I hadn't realized it until today."
"I know." Maura told her. "I just wish you had thought about what was going on with me instead of only thinking about your issues."
Alex sighed and dropped her look to the carpeted floor. "Well, after all, my social skills do suck, you know that." Alex added a joke, trying to lighten up the mood a little bit. "I know I haven't been the greatest friend and I feel so bad for not being able to notice that I wasn't the center of the universe." The young blonde's eyes rose and looked to Maura's. "I feel like a real bitch for not being there for you." Alex saw her friend's comprehensive gaze and continued. "What happened?" She asked the question that had been running through her head for long hours.
Maura answered Alex's question quickly. "Oh, it's nothing bad actually. The worst part of it was the shock caused by the news and how dumb I feel for my initial reaction. But I'll be okay. I am okay." She said.
"Okay. I'm glad to hear that - but what happened?" Alex asked again, somehow relieved by her friend's response but still wondering what was going on in Maura's life.
"My parents are not my biological parents." The young girl said casually, with the same voice she would use to explain things like the anatomy of a Trypanosome Cruzi.
Maura's parents had spoken to her a week ago. She had cried and refused speaking to them for a couple of hours, but after doing some thinking on her own she quickly realized how wrong her actions were. Why should she be mad at her parents for trying to give her the things her biological parents had refused? It certainly wasn't their fault. The only thing they were responsible of was being good, loving and caring parents to her. Maura loved her parents; they were her real parents, without genetics mattering.
Alex stayed in silence for a moment, without knowing what to say to her friend. She was ashamed she had been so engrossed in her own life that she hadn't noticed any changes in Maura's behavior after her parents' confession. "I'm sorry I wasn't there for you when you received the news. I should have been there." Alex apologized again.
"It's okay, Al. I'm sure that even if everything had been alright between us I wouldn't have let you to notice any changes in me. Remember my social skills suck as much as yours do." Maura smiled to one of her dearest friends.
Alex smiled back to Maura, thrilled that their friendship hadn't been lost. "Do you know who your biological parents are?" She asked going back to the topic.
Maura shook her head. "No and I don't think I want to know it, at least not now. My parents are my real parents. I don't care about the people that gave me my hair color and then abandoned me." Alex slightly nodded.
"I'm glad to hear that. If someday you wake up and realize you wanna look for them, I want you to know that I'll support your decision and I'll help you finding them. You're my best friend Maura. I'm not planning on ruining that again."
Alex reached out and hugged Maura tightly. "Hum, Alex, I love you too but you're blocking the entrance of air to my lungs which is causing my asphyxiation." Maura told her after a few moments and Alex freed her laughing.
"Sorry." She said and both girls heard Alex's stomach growling. "Let's go eat. I think someone is asking for food." Alex joked and stood up.
"Actually, it's your intestines and not your stomach that make that noise when they quiver and it can be also that it's working to churn and digest." Maura explained Alex.
Alex started laughing. "Maura; I missed you, not your facts." She said as she dragged Maura out of her bedroom.
"You can't blame me for trying to expand your knowledge." Alex overheard Maura protesting but continued accomplishing her mission as they headed straight to the dining room.
Well, I used part of the actual Rizzoli & Isles storyline here but I don't think I'm gonna go farther than this with it.
