One Woman (Wo)man- chapter 3

Seeing you reminds me of

All the nights I used to beat it up

I would do it again, but I can't

'Cuz everything is different now

I finally have settled down

And became a one woman man

''You've seem to have found the one, my friend." Marina told her after Jane explained her situation with Maura." But it looks like you fucked it up."

It was almost 4 am, Merch would be closing soon. Jane was far pass buzzed.

"I don't blame Maura. I'd throw your sorry ass out too."

''You're not helping."

"No, I'm not.'' Marina reached for her purse, ''You're drunk. Get up. I'm taking you home, with me, seeing that you have nowhere to go."

"I don't need your help." Jane grumbled. She moved to stand but her apparent drunkenness lost the fight with gravity.

"Yes, you do. ''Marina grabbed Jane by the elbow and pulled her to her feet. She wrapped an arm around a small waist and carried herself and her companion to the door.

The cold of the fall night hit their faces hard. It sobered Jane up enough to be able to walk on her own, but she still needed help balancing herself.

There was a long line of women still trying to get into the club. They were dressed in their Saturday night best. But there was one woman that stood out from them all. Her hair was pulled in a messy ponytail and she wore simple house clothes: yoga pants and a t-shirt. Her eyes were visibly red from crying and her face was absent of make-up. Jane still held on to Marina when she Made eye contact with Maura. She took in the scene before her. It did not pay well in Jane's favor. Maura exited the line and ran down the block.

"No!" Jane yelled, trying to run toward' her lover. She found herself unable to move. Marina held onto her waist.

"Don't. Leave her. She doesn't deserve you." Marina Whispered in her ear. June pushed her away and looked at her with a look of pure disgust.

''This was your plan all along. You're the one that broke up with me. You don't get to do this to me!''

''Jane, wait!"

"Screw you, bitch.'' Jane left her, eyes from the crowd followed her down the street. She walked 2 blocks and spotted Maura's car on the corner, Maura leaning on the passenger side door. Fresh tears rolled down her Cheeks. Maura looked up as a dark figure approached her. She stood to her full height and tried to make herself presentable, as presentable us someone in house clothes could possibly be. Jane stepped in front of her.

"Maura, I-''Then, the medical examiner did the unexpected.
