Hey guys. Here's a long one for you. I had a lot of time to fix this one but as usual, all mistakes are mine.

Trigger Warning

P.S. Flashbacks are in italics

As woman kept walking towards her, Maura took step after step in the opposite direction until her back hit the wall and she panicked. She couldn't breathe, her head kept jerking from side to side, silently praying to a god that she didn't believe in to take her away from here. Black dots started to cloud her vision and she finally collapsed.

Jane got closer and was able to catch the girls head just in time "Oh shit, what am I gonna do?" Jane breathed out.

"Come on baby, wake up..." Jane stroked the hair out of the girls face, "come on, sweetie." She was able to get a good, longer look at her. Her eye was basically swollen shut it and her lip had reopened and started to bleed.

Her clothes were way too big for her. If Jane were to guess she would have thought that this girl was homeless. The girl had no purse with her. She had yet to find a wallet to help her get an I.D. on who exactly she was helping. The only thing in her pocket was lint.

Jane didn't know what to do. She couldn't leave this girl in the alley. Didn't want anyone to come and hurt her or kidnap her. Her car wasn't too far, they did have a small 3 block chase but it was what she had to do. She moved her hand and pulled the girl fully into her arms and stood up. The girl was way lighter than she should be and it worried Jane. She started walking back towards the bar. Then, it hit her. Where was she gonna take the girl? Lucy was still at her apartment and she didn't want to deal with that right now. She had the hotel, but did she really want the first place this girl to see when she came to was a random hotel room?

'I guess it's more contained than this alley' Jane thought as she walked to her car. She still could have to go home a get a change of clothes because there was no way she was sleeping in her work suit.

The walk back to her car wasn't as bad as she thought. The girl was easier to carry than she suspected. And barely anyone was on the street so no one thought she was a random creep who carries unconscious people. 'If they ask, I could just flash my badge' she thought, hopefully that would make this a little less creepy. She thought about all she observed at the bar and walking toward this girl. She must have been through so much because even when passed out, her face still shows fear and the sadness of abuse.

Fishing her keys out of her pocket, Jane opened her car door. She put the girl in the passenger seat and buckled her in. She walked around to the driver side and got in. They traveled the 20 minutes from the Robber to her apartment. Taking one last look at the sleeping girl and quickly checking to make sure she was still breathing; Jane left the car and entered the building. Climbing the steps two at a time until she reached the third floor, Jane all but ran to her door. She slipped the key into the lock and opened the door. 'Okay,' she coached herself, 'in and out, grab only the necessities because the girl could wake any minute and the last thing you want to do Rizzoli is track that girl through the city.'

"Janie? Baby, is that you?" Lucy called out as she heard the door opening.

'Shit.' Jane thought, "Yeah, it's me. I am just getting a few things and then I'll leave you to pack your belongings."

"Jane, we need to talk things out. I love you. You know that. This is all a misunderstanding. Kara came over to talk. She was upset and I didn't want to lose my friend so I invited her in. I got us some wine and one thing led to another and… Jane, Jane where are you going?" Lucy tried to explain, but somewhere in the conversation, that was one sided, Jane got upset and stalked off to her bedroom. She needed to grab her things and didn't want to leave the girl waiting any longer. "Lucy, I really have to go. I need to help someone, now please get out of my way." Jane said as calmly as she could.

"What do you mean 'help someone'? What's going on here? Where is this someone anyway? What are you not telling me?" Lucy pleaded for answers. She was getting upset that she couldn't keep Jane's attention like she used to. She needed Jane; she was nothing without her. Most people didn't know, but Jane was quite wealthy, like didn't need to work for a living wealthy. Lucy couldn't live without the money that Jane had, she needed to get her back.

Walking into the bedroom, Jane stopped as the memory was still fresh in her mind. Lucy with that woman, Lucy moaning and begging that woman not to stop. Jane shook her head, 'It's not the time for that, Jane. Get in and get out, that's what you promised yourself. Don't make it harder than it has to be. Think of the girl. She needs you whether she what's your help or not. She walked over to the closet and reached into it for her blue duffle bag. She started going around the room, filling it with a few pairs of jeans, a few shirts, her pajamas, a sweatshirt, and her personal bathroom items. Grabbing the handles, she turned to leave but was blocked in by Lucy.

"Move" Jane all but growled but Lucy was stubborn and didn't listen. Instead she all but stalked over to Jane, grabbing the lapels on Jane's work jacket and pulling her closer to her slowly, getting ready to kiss her but Jane had other plans. She pinned Lucy's hands and pushed her back, stepping out of her grasp and walking through the door. Reaching the front door Jane turned to see Lucy right behind her. "I want you out of my house and my life by tomorrow. Goodbye, Lucy." Jane said calmly and finally stepped out the apartment, leaving a very upset Lucy in her wakes.

Running down the hall and stairs, all Jane could think about was the girl. 'Damn it, Jane. You need to stop calling her the girl and find out her name.' Jane shook her head, just hoping that the girl hasn't woken up yet and left. Reaching the car, Jane breathed out a sigh of relief when she saw the girl still peacefully asleep. Getting in the car, Jane threw her bag in the back seat and took off down the road, heading towards the Rizz.

The Rizz, the reason for the substantial wealth for the Rizzoli family. The Rizzoli's owned many hotel chains but this one was specifically Jane's baby. Of course, it belonged to her family but Angela trusted the idea to Jane and finally gave it to her when she was 23. It took off the next year. Jane had single handedly created the most exclusive hotel and bar. She owned the Penthouse on the top floor and only stayed there when she needed to escape. Tonight, it was exactly what she needed.

Jane brought the car to the front door, waiting for the valet to come. She took a deep breath, trying to understand what had happened in the past 12 hours. It felt as if she was in a car speeding down the highway following a specific route getting ready to turn right, then all of a sudden, the car takes a sharp left and changing everything. The girl in her front seat could be her saving grace. The person who is going to help her get through everything. But for right now, Jane realizes that this girl is going to be her distraction from Lucy and all that was associated with her.

Seeing Tony, the valet, Jane got out of the car to talk. "Tony! I didn't know you were working tonight. How's the family?" she asks sweetly.

"Hey Jane. I decided to try and get more hours. Everything is going good, Sarah just turned 1 yesterday. Biggest joy of my life." he laughed, "Want me to park the car in your usual spot?"

"Yeah that would be perfect, Tony..." she starts. Neither one of them noticing the girl in the front seat waking up.

R&I

Feeling a pounding in her head, Maura finally started to come to. Opening her eyes slowly she tried to take in her surroundings. The last thing she remembered was being chased and passing out in an alleyway. Realizing that she was now in a car she started to panic.

'Oh god, Bryce found me. Oh god, oh god.' Maura thought. Looking around she didn't understand why no one was in the car and why the doors weren't locked. Acting fast, Maura unbuckled herself and slowly reached for the handle, looking out the front window to make sure no one was paying attention to her and opened the door. Getting to her feet she started running.

Jane tossed her head back and laughed at something Tony said, the man was one of her favorite employees here. Turning her head to face the car she saw the door opening and the girl getting out of it. 'Shit!' Jane thought. "Tony, park the car in my spot and grab my black bag from the back seat and have it sent to my room. I'll talk to you later", Jane shouted as she took off after her. Right as Jane turned around the clouds opened up and instantly soaked her. "Oh come on" Jane yelled as she chased her down through parking lot and right into a fence surrounding the property. Reaching out and grabbing on to the girls waist, she froze.

Maura started screaming and begging, "Please, don't take me back! I can't go back! Don't make me! Stop touching me! Help, help me please!" She started to fight her way out of the embrace.

Jane didn't know what to do. She had the blonde in a bear hug so she couldn't run away or hurt her that much. The girl's energy to fight was wearing thin making Jane's job a little easier. Trying to calm the hysterical girl in her arms, Jane whispered soft words into her ear, "Shhhh... It's okay. Calm down, please. You're not going anywhere; I promise you won't be hurt anymore. Please honey, you need to calm down for me."

Finally giving in, Maura sagged against the strong woman holding her up, shaking in the embrace. She had no more strength left in her to fight or scream. Silent tears ran down her face mixing with the rain, her one eye hurt more than ever and she finally felt the sharp pain emanating from her ribs and the back of her head. "Please, help me. It hurts so bad. Please make it stop. Please." Maura murmured. Needing warmth, food, and relief from the pain.

Jane's heart broke at the pleas coming from the blonde. They needed to get inside soon, Jane needed to make sure that any bruises were taken care of for the girl. "Honey, we need to get you inside the hotel. Let me carry you. You're in no shape to walk." Jane said, waiting for the girl to give her some sort of response. When the girl nodded, Jane quickly moved her hands to a under the girl's knee and back, carrying her bridal style. Like earlier, Jane couldn't believe how light the girl was. She had to be at least 100 lbs. 'This is so not good' Jane thought, making her way back to the hotel.

Entering the hotel, Jane felt the girl fist her jacket tighter. Her eyes darted between the faces of the few people in the lobby and all of the dark corners. Ignoring all of the stares she was getting; Jane went straight to the elevator. Pushing "J" button, which was just for her, the doors closed and they started to ascend to the 12th floor where her penthouse was. The only sound in the elevator was the quite calming jazz music and the drops of water falling from both of the women. The doors opened after she pushed the 4-digit pin and had her fingerprint scanned. Jane was greeted by her own private oasis. She never brought anyone here. Well, except her mother and her brothers. But that was it. Lucy didn't get to come here. And now she never will.

There wasn't much to the place. Sure, it was top of the line everything but Jane just didn't keep any personal items here. That's what made a house a home. She had a few pieces of art hanging on the walls but that's it. Exiting the elevator, she walked through the kitchen. White counters and black appliances and a black quartz island greeted her. She thought about how much food she had in the fridge and huffed. She hoped it was at least cleaned out. It had been a hot minute since she had been here.

She headed straight for the bedroom. She placed the girl on the bed gently and sighed. She looked terrified, her eyes darted everywhere almost like planning an escape route, 'which she is probably doing', Jane thought.

"Hey, sweetie, hey can you tell me your name?" Jane said softly, trying not to startle the girl anymore. She had already curled herself into a ball. Protecting herself in the off chance that Jane might hit her for not answering her question. Jane saw the girl open her mouth to say something but then shakes her head and hides her face in her knees. 'The poor things afraid of her own shadow.' Jane thought, deciding to try a different approach.

"Are you hungry or thirsty? We can order food. I know that you didn't get to finish your water at the bar. Whatever you want, I can order." Jane said.

The girl seemed to think for a while before answering with a soft, "Okay", looking down at her knees She never made eye contact with Jane, but Jane could see the pain from years of abuse written all over her face. All of the pain that she was currently in was written clear as day. Her heart broke.

"Okay, I'll order us a pizza. Does that sound good?" Jane asked and received a nod from the girl. "What do you want to drink?" Jane continued.

"Water, please" responded the girl. Jane got up from the end of the bed and headed to the kitchen to call for room service. If she hadn't been paying attention, she would have the missed the girl mumble. Jane turned around, "What? I didn't hear you."

"Maura. That's my name" Maura said softly, looking up at Jane for the first time since they came into the hotel. She quickly went back to look at her knees that were in front of her chest. "It's nice to meet you Maura. I don't know if you remember but my name is Jane. We met very briefly at the bar earlier." Jane tried but Maura wasn't acknowledging her. "Maura, can you look at me please? I just have a quick question for you." Jane asked. Maura seemed to think about it for a second and slightly looked up at Jane. "Maura, who are you running from?"

"Um... um. Why...why do you need to know?"

"I just want to help you, Maura. I'm a cop-"

"I need to get out of here..." Maura cut her off and jumped from the bed but doubled over in pain once her feet hit the floor. Jane went to reach for her but Maura pulled away. "You can't call him. Please Jane, I didn't do anything wrong. Please believe me Jane." Maura cried and staggered to the wall. She slid to the floor and curled into the ball again.

"Maura, I promise no one is going to hurt you anymore. I just need to know who has hurt you so I can help you." Jane pleaded.

"He's...he's my fiance." Maura hiccupped.

"Can you tell me his name?" Jane tried.

Maura couldn't breathe. She felt a panic attack rising and her ribs weren't helping with the pain in her lungs and breathing in general. She just shook her head and started to cry harder.

"Okay. It's Okay Maura." Jane moved closer to her slowly. "Maura, please you need to breathe. Look at me." Maura looked up with tears still streaming down her face. "Okay Maura breathe with me. Breathe in 1..2..3..4...5.. hold it 1..2..3..4..5.. breathe out 1..2..3..4..5.. hold it 1..2..3..4..5.. and again..."

After a few minutes Maura's breathing was back to nearly normal and Maura curled into Jane's body. Jane kept rubbing her back as she calmed down. "Are you still hungry Maura?" Jane asked and felt Maura nodded against her chest. "I'm gonna go call for the pizza okay, Maura? I promise to be right back", Jane said and Maura nodded. "Alright, let's get you back on the bed. I have a fuzzy blanket you can use. How about I get you some clothes to change into since you are soaked to the bone sweetie?" How does that sound?" Again, Maura only nodded.

Jane helped Maura get up and seated on the bed. She walked to the closet and returned with a pair of sweatpants, a large t-shirt, a pair of panties and pair of fuzzy socks. "Here you go Maura. I'll leave the room so you can get dressed." Jane turned to leave but stopped when she heard the small voice.

"Jane, can you help me? I... uh... I can't bend down or lift my arms..." Maura asked.

"Um, yeah. Sure, Maura. Sit on the bed for a second, okay?" Jane nodded awkwardly. Trying to figure out the best way to do this and not trigger Maura at all. She bent down and started taking off Maura's shoes and socks. She helped Maura stand up. "Okay, um. Well, let's a- let's take off the pants first. Sound good, Maura?" Jane tried but Maura didn't respond. Her gaze was glazed over. Almost like she was trying to pretend this wasn't happening. "Maura, honey, I need to make sure you're okay. I just want you to get warm. Can you nod if you want me to continue?"

Maura nodded like she was in a trance and Jane sighed. The sweatshirt she was wearing was baggy and long enough so Jane wouldn't see anything on her lower half but she still could feel how uncomfortable Maura was. She peeled the wet, tight material down Maura's legs. They were so cold from it. The sweat pants she had picked out were going to be a little big and a little long on Maura's small frame. Jane rolled the waist band a few times to fix the length and pulled the fuzzy socks on Maura's feet. She was going to call Sasha once she went to get food. She needed help with this and there was no way she was going to take Maura to the hospital now that she gained her trust.

Taking a quick pause, Jane looked up at Maura from her position on the carpet still. She rubbed her thigh gently. "Maura, can I take off your sweatshirt?"

Maura nodded her head slightly. She was still shivering from the chill that entered her bones from her clothes. She asked Jane to help her but all she wanted was to be warm.

Jane gripped the small black zipper handle and pulled it down the track slowly. The zipper gave way and opened showing Jane a slightly dirty white ribbed tank top. She gently grasped the right cuff and helped Maura shrug out of it. Maura winced but didn't say anything. The tank top was soaked through, leaving nothing to the imagination. Jane tried not the stare. She didn't want to make Maura any more uncomfortable that she already was. She stood up, an idea suddenly popping into her head.

"Hey Maura, can you stand up for a second please?", she asked.

Maura stood up and stared up at Jane. Compared to Jane's 5'10", 6' with her work boots on, frame Maura looked like a child. Jane placed her hand out, silently asking Maura to take it. Maura hesitated, not sure what was going on or what was going to be asked of her.

When she put her hand in Janes, Jane smiled. Jane took a step back and tugged Maura with her. "Turn around for me, please?" Maura complied. Slowly turning. Putting her head and body in a submissive position as she did.

"Okay, I'm gonna lift your tank top up and help you put on the T-shirt. Then you can get under the warm blanket. Sounds good?" Maura nodded.

"Good. Okay I'm gonna touch your sides now. Please tell me to stop if you feel uncomfortable." Jane grabbed the hem of the top at Maura's sides. She felt Maura shaking. "Alright Maura, I'm gonna start on 3. 1...2...3..." Jane started lifting the top up. Maura tried to move her arms as much as her ribs would let her. Somehow Jane got the shirt over Maura's head and the other shirt on her with very little pain to Maura. Jane tried not to focus on the bruises that littered the girl's back as she pulled the T-shirt over her head.

'If there are this many on her back, I can't imagine what her front looks like' Jane thought.

"Here you go Maura." Jane wrapped the light blue, fuzzy blanket around Maura's shoulders. It swallowed Maura with how big it was. "There you go Maura. All warm. Let's get you relaxed on the bed, okay?" Maura didn't respond but moved like a mindless zombie to the bed. Jane helped her get situated back on her bed with the blanket wrapped around her. Maura rested her tired body against the soft pillows on the bed and breathed out, snuggling closer to get warm. Jane gathered all the wet clothes and left towards the door. She turned back to quickly check on Maura. Maura's eyes caught Janes and held the gaze for a few seconds before closing and breathing what seemed to be a small sigh of relief. Jane gave her a soft smile and left the room.
