AN: yes it is hard to write this, but for some reason I still do it. I think I wanna know what happens to them, how will she get out. Or will she die… I haven't decided yet but it gets an happy ending, I promise.


The next morning Jane woke up with a throbbing headache and a blue eye. She was standing in front of the mirror in the bathroom, applying some cover up to her eye but I didn't help that much.

'Great, now I have to explain it to Maura.' She growled at her thought.

She packed her bag, Joe was walking around her with her tail wiggling happily. Jane couldn't help but smile at her dog. She closed her bag and stood up, she had heard him walking around already.

When she walked out the room she cursed softly, she had forgotten her sport clothing. Quickly she walked back and searched her whole room. She couldn't find it.

"Dad? Have you seen my sport clothes?" she yelled at him.

After a minute her door opened and her father came in, "Here, I washed them and added your favorite sense to it. Special for you." He handed her the shirt and shorts.

She faked a smile and thanked him politely.

She walked to the little kitchen and started to make breakfast. Her dad was watching over her shoulder, keeping an eye on what she ate. When she finished her sandwich she looked at her watch, her mother's watch.

"O shit! I'm late!" she grabbed her sandwich from the plate and walked to the door. She pulled her coat on and put her shoes on. As she picked up her back she stared right in his face.

"Before you leave a kiss?" He asked innocently.

'No you fucking asshole!'

"Sure" she had to retain the urge to punch his face.

He grabbed her neck and placed a kiss on her lips, she squeezed her eyes closed and just let him.

She pulled away and ran out the door, yelling "Bye dad!"

On her way to school she ate her sandwich, it was a bit difficult because when she opened her mouth the mussels in her cheek would tense which caused a sting of pain to go through her face. She managed to eat it completely before she entered school.

Today was Thursday, which meant that her dad had a long day at work. She did a little happy dance and made her way over to her locker. She opened her locker and placed some books in it. When she closed her bag again her locker door was pushed closed.

"Hey!" she said angrily, "Oh Maura, I'm sorry." She let out a little laugh. How could she made her smile in one second?

"Hey Jane, sorry to scare you." She said in a guilty tone.

"It's okay, I'm just not a morning person." She smiled but her face fell from the pain.

"Jane are you okay?"

Jane turned toward her, "Yes."

"Oh god Jane! What happened! Your eye is blue!"

"Calm down Maura!" She needed quickly a lie, "I, uh, was playing with Joe and stepped on one of her toys and fell."

Maura stared at her deeply, which made Jane getting sweaty hands. "Mmm" was the only thing Maura said.

"Come on, we have class." Jane said when the bell rang.

"I'm really excited about our little shopping today." Maura said happily.

Jane laid her head on her hand, "Oh no, I forgot my money. I was late today."

Maura chuckled, "I can lend you some."

"Thanks." Jane was wondering why Maura was so sure about lending her money.

"So what is our first lesson?"

"Art class, I will show you the way."

Jane lead Maura through the school to the class room. When they arrived at the door the teacher was already waiting for them.

"Good morning ladies." The teacher greeted.

Jane smiled and replied, "Good morning."

Maura smiled and together they walked in, picking out a spot to sit.

"You seem to like that teacher." Maura sat down.

"Yeah, she was the only friend- like person I had before you." Jane said with a blush, she was ashamed she didn't had friends.

Maura opened her mouth to reply but the teacher walked to them and held out a hand to Maura, "Hi, I am Miss Yzerman but you can call me Sophie." She introduced herself with a smile.

"Hi I'm Maura." Maura replied with a mirroring smile and they shook hands.

Sophie turned to Jane, "Good to see you have a new friend, Jane." She rested a hand on Jane's shoulder as she walked by.

Jane smiled and nodded, "I know."

After Miss Yzerman gave the instructions and everyone went to work, Jane gave Maura a little tour through the class room. After that they both sat down and started with their drawings. It was a bit hard for Maura, though for Jane it wasn't. They had to draw a picture that they had in their mind at that moment.

After 30 min of drawing Jane laid her pencil down on the table and stared at the drawing. Maura did the same and was amazed by the talent Jane had. But there was something with that drawing that gave Maura a weird feeling. Like she had to protect Jane from someone.

On the drawing there was a little girl who stood with her back to you. In her hand she had a stuffed animal, a rabbit. Under her other arm she had a dog. The girl was naked but her body was cut off by the edge of the paper. There was a man in the back, he was all dark. You could see that the girl was scared of him.

"Jane, that's beautiful." Maura gasped at the sight.

"Thanks." Jane mumbled back.


Their day continued slowly, they went to class and had breaks. They only had one hour of sports. They made their way over to the dressing room.

All the girls were already there, most were already dressed. Jane came always late, she couldn't risk the girls to see her bruises. But now Maura was there too, how was she able to switch shirts without Maura noticing?

Jane quickly started to pull off her pants and put on her shorts. She lifted her sweater and then tank top. She had her back slightly turned to Maura, hoping she wouldn't notice. Luckily she didn't and she pulled her shirt over her head.

They were playing football, one of Jane's most hated sports. They were in four groups, Jane and Maura together with three other boys. In one game there was the 'Football guy', he always shot the ball hard and scored.

Once again he shot, just when Jane stepped aside. The ball hit her on the ribs, right at the bruise. The air was slammed out her lungs of pain. She collapsed on the floor, holding her chest with her arms.

"Jane?!" she hear Maura yelling.

Jane had tears in her eyes while she was laying on the ground. She felt two hands on her arm and she looked up, biting her lip to keep herself from crying.

"Jane are you okay?" Maura asked worried.

"Yeah, I'm fine." She tried to stand up but she collapsed again from pain.

The teacher came and ordered Jane to put some ice on the area. Maura went with her to the little room where they kept the first aid kit.

"Pull your shirt up." Maura instructed.

"Gosh Maura I can take care of myself. Give me the ice."

"No." Maura said stubborn.

"Give me the ice!"

"No! Now pull up your shirt!" Maura reached for her but Jane was faster.

"I can do that myself." Jane growled while she pulled her shirt up.

Maura gasped, "Omg Jane! What happened?!"

"I told you, I was playing with Joe when I fell."

Maura didn't believe her, Jane could read the disbelieve from her face.

" Jane, don't tell me those lies. What's going on?" Maura's face had softened.

That moment Jane wanted to tell her anything, but she didn't.

"I told you, I was playing with Joe." Jane repeats now almost angry.

Maura placed the ice on the bruise and sat down next to Jane, "Jane, I don't know what is going on. But whatever it is, you have to fight it. Fight back, I know you can do that."

"It's nothing to worry about. But if it makes you feel better if I say; "Yes I will fight." Then I will say it. I will fight Maura Isles."

Maura nodded, but she had no idea how much that meant to Jane. Maura gave her hope and strength to start fighting back, even if that meant more pain.


After school the duo went to the store for vegetables and dog food. They walked together, closer than normal but both felt save enough to do so. Maura was really precise on finding the right vegetables for Bass, the one wasn't fresh enough, the other was a little too green.

After a little while of scanning food they finally had found it. They walked to the dog area and Jane grabbed her usual feed for Joe. They paid and Jane thanked Maura ones again for paying for her.

Jane had asked Maura to come to her home, Maura accepted the offer and now they were walking towards Jane's home.

The bag of food ripped open a bit while they were walking and some food fell out.

"Shit." Jane cursed.

Maura grabbed the bag and hold it up so that not more food would fall. Jane was busy picking up the fallen food, when she walked backwards she felt something behind her legs. When she turned there was a little dog.

Jane bent down and patted the dog, "Hey there, you hungry?" Jane asked and held some food in front of the dogs face. The dog sniffed and then gratefully ate it.

Jane laughed and they walked further, but the dog followed them.

"Maybe it doesn't has a home." Maura looked over her shoulder to see the dog walking there. It looked a bit lonely and sad.

When they arrived at the building Jane picked the dog up and carried it with her, "I will keep it until I find its owner."

They took the elevator up and Jane lead them to the apartment, "This is it." She said while opening the door.

It was small but cozy, only there was something about that apartment that made shivers running down Maura's spine.

Jane put the dog on the ground and another fur ball ran towards them, jumping up Jane's legs, "Hey Joe!"

Jane stroke the dog and Maura kneeled down too. They played a bit with the dogs but soon they were sitting on Jane's bed with a cup of tea in their hands.

"So do you like New York a bit?" Jane asked.

"It's okay, I prefer Boston but I lived there a long time. I just have to find my way here."

"Yeah I understand, well I am here to help you anytime." Jane smiled at her.

Maura settled against Jane, leaning against her shoulder. She let out a deep sight and sipped her tea. Jane laid an arm around Maura's shoulder without even thinking about it. She slowly made patterns with her finger on Maura's arm.

Maura looked up to Jane, Jane looked down at Maura. Both smiled at the same time. Jane had no idea what happened but they both leaned in and their lips softly brushed against each other.

Jane pulled back and saw hurt in Maura's eyes, "Omg Jane! I'm so sorry!"

Jane sat in shock for a few moments before a huge grin spread across her face. Maura had a deep read face of shame which made Jane laugh.

Jane cupped Maura's cheek and brought her face to hers again, now the kiss was way more passionate, neither was holding back.

"Jane?" a voice came through the love cloud she was now on. She pulled back directly and saw a figure standing in the door frame.

"Maura, I think you should go." Jane was scared, really scared. Not for herself but for Maura.

Maura understood and quickly stood up, taking her vegetables and bag to the door. Jane let her out with a little wave before closing the door. Maura waved back.

As soon as the door was closed Jane felt a fist against her stomach, Maura heard Jane groaning at the first hit. The second one was way harder, Jane screamed and started to cough.

Maura ran out of the building, fleeing. Tears in her eyes.

So that's going on in that house…
