Chapter 7 – Concrete Angel

"Through the wind and the rain
She stands hard as a stone
In her world that she can rise above
But her dreams give her wings
And she flies to a place where
She's loved
Concrete angel"

[Concrete Angel by Martina McBride]

"Maura was my best friend and the sister I never had, the greatest sister anyone could ask for. Maura carried her ability to make the best out of any situation from the first moment I met her until now, and everyone loved her. She was truly a caring person and I know a piece of me will always be missing now that she is gone. Maura never met a stranger and believed the best of all people until they proved her wrong. She had a great big heart, and enough love for everyone.

The best part of Maura was her sense of adventure. Maura would sometimes call me on a random Saturday with the most ridiculous proposition. "Hey, let's go fly a hot air balloon today. Hey, let's go dog sledding. Hey, let's go jump out of an airplane." Whatever it was, I was always up for the adventure, albeit I sometimes needed a little prodding.

There are so many things I could say about my sister, my best friend, my other half, but there are really not enough words to express what a wonderful person she was in these few short minutes. What I can say is she is loved, she will be missed, and we will keep her with us every day. Maura wouldn't want us to be sad. Let's remember her thirst for life, and how she touched everyone's heart she came across.

Thank you Maura, for bringing out the best of me, and touching my family in ways that only a true friend, and loving family member could, I will always cherish what you have given me, I appreciate your friendship more than these simple words can express. In the words of our Lord, 'A true friend sticks by you like family…'

We will miss you Maura. I will miss you."

Jane eyes were overflowing with tears as she hastily wiped them away with the sleeve of her blazer. It was so unfair that she had to die like that while her pathetic excuse of an ex boyfriend was just sitting in jail fighting for a fair trial, trying to get his freedom. If only Jane was a few minutes earlier then maybe Maura could've been saved or maybe if she persisted more into Maura's life instead of staying on the sidelines for the past few months then maybe, just maybe, Maura could be alive and well today.

Charlie was arrested as soon as Jane got on the scene, the ambulance took away Maura's body, just the image of her splayed hair and the blood made Jane cringe at the memory on the spot, no one should've gone through that, much less the innocent Maura. Since the arrest, Charlie has been suspected for the recent murders around town but before Jane could find out more about it, the FBI had taken over due to the close relations between the suspect and the police department.

A line of those who loved Maura stood alongside of her coffin, her co-workers and rest of the Rizzoli family were just some of the few that joined Jane in tears and were holding on to each other for dear life. Her freshly engraved grave made Jane fall to the ground, as if the reality of it all just hit her and the helplessness that she was originally feeling was nothing compared to what she was feeling now.

'Maura Dorthea Isles

Born August 7 1976

Died October 18 2015

Beloved daughter and friend'

"Sometimes you can't always save people, no matter how much they deserve to be saved" Jane heard someone whisper by the coffin and she swore she felt her heart crush under the heavy words.

A/N: Short but blunt chapter (there is 1 more chapter left)

My initial purpose for this story was purely for entertainment and a heartfelt storyline between Rizzoli and Isles but for my rewritten story I think that it was really important to address the issue the only way that I could, by my writing.

Domestic violence is a serious issue and unfortunately there are people who can't get out of their situation and are frightened for their lives. Sometime people can't reach out to help, as in this story, and by the time they do it can be too late.

Take action and spread the word, but most importantly, stay safe my little cupcakes.

**Remember there's one more chapter to go **
