AN: So here another chapter. It's a bit short and maybe not that good but my week is a mess and I don't sleep much. I still hope you enjoy it.

Kate,

It has been three weeks, two days, 6 hours and 48 minutes from the last time I saw Jane.

The paramedics had arrived a few minutes after I called, but for me it took them hours to come. They had taken her to the hospital, but I knew they were too late. Jane was weak, starved. I held her while she slipped away.

I didn't want to go there, I couldn't. My mother went to the hospital to ask, when she came back I had locked myself in my room. I didn't want to hear what she had to say, I knew it was only bad news.

Her birthday is in two weeks, she will become 17. Ow I miss her so much, My dear Jane.

Today my mom convinced me to visit her, we will leave in a few minutes from now. I have flowers in my hand, her favorite. The red roses where cliché, but her favorites.

She is in the hospital, that's all I know.

I have to go now, mom is calling.

Your Maura.

Maura send the mail and closed her laptop. She grabbed her flowers and slowly walked down the stairs.

She stepped in the car, the flowers in her lap. Her mother understood that Maura wanted to be alone with her thoughts, no words were spoken.

Maura stared out the window to the buildings which flashed by as they drove to the hospital.

It all went in slow motion, her mother asked for Jane's room. The nurse showed us the way. When we arrived at the right room she stopped and let us alone.

There she was, Jane.

She was pale, like a dead body. Her black hair was dirty, a big curly mess. There was a machine next to her bed, it showed her heartbeat which was steady. She looked so vulnerable, so alone.

Silent tears were streaming down Maura's face as she walked into the room. Her mother went back to the little restaurant to drink coffee.

Maura sat down in the chair next to the bed.

She's in a coma.

She took Jane's cold hand in her, "Hey Jane." she whispered through her tears.

"I brought your favorite flowers, red roses. Here smell." She held one rose close to Jane's face.

"I thought you were dead. I thought you left me." She cried harder, "That's why I didn't came, I couldn't believe you were gone too."

Maura laid her head on the bed, next to Jane's arm, "My mother convinced me to come, she knew you weren't dead. She visit you ones, remember? I'm so sorry I never came, so sorry."

She traced little circles over her arm, "They arrested your father, he is going to jail for a long time Jane. You're save."

She looked up at Jane's face, it was like she was sleeping. A peaceful look on her face, but she seemed so white, so pale. She touched Jane's cheek, then kissing it softly.

"I love you too." she whispered back, "Your birthday is almost here, I hope you will be awake to celebrate it with me, together."

The first days were terrifying, I heard them talking but couldn't see. I couldn't move or speak. The doctors didn't tell me anything, clearly they thought I couldn't hear them. Well I could!

Laying in this bed was horrible, my body was hurting. Which was good because it meant that I could feel everything. But I was so bored after a few days. No one had come to visit me, not even Maura.

After one week in the hospital there was a nurse, called Johanna, who became my personal nurse.

I liked her from the first moment she spoke.

"Hello there, I'm Johanna. I'm your personal nurse from now on. I bet that no one had told you what is going on huh?"

If I could laugh I would have.

"Well, I don't know if you remember you falling down the stairs? But when you fell you hit your head a few times. You were already hurt and weak so your body couldn't take much more."

I was absorbing the information, I only remember flashes of what had happened. But it was enough for me.

"You're in a coma Jane. And we don't know if you will ever wake up again. Your body has some bad injuries and you were weak because you didn't ate enough. We know that your father has done terrible things, there is an investigation running now." She checked me ones again.

"Well I will play some music for you okay? When I come back I will tell you what happened in the other weak." I heard music, it was calming my racing thoughts.

The other week? Had there been another week of which I have no memory?

The though only scared the hell out of me, but I had to hold on.

I fell asleep

The next day I hear a woman talking to Johanna, her voice was familiar but she was too far away for me to hear her clearly.

Her footsteps became clearer, so she was coming to me.

The door of my room opened and then I remembered, yesterday I fell asleep. I missed Johanna's explanation. I wanted to hit myself.

"Jane? The mother of Maura Isles is here. She wants to know what is going on. And because I am not sure you understood everything yesterday I will repeat it while Constance is here."

Maura's mother? But Maura, where is Maura?

"As you maybe remember Maura called 911, we came a few minutes later. We took you to the hospital, directly into surgery. You had a serious head trauma, we don't know if that caused any brain damage but we hope it didn't. You also have a broken leg and a few bruised ribs. They are healing well. I hope you can hear us, I will leave you alone now." I heard Johanna walk away.

"Hey Jane." Constance started, "I came to check on you. I can't believe what happened to you. I think you wanna know where Maura is. Well she is a mess, she thinks she lost you. Like she lost Kate. She won't listen to me."

I could hear the tears in her voice.

"Please wake up Jane."

That was all she said before she left.

That night I couldn't sleep. What I had heard today was too much, maybe I will be forever like this.

I should have done something before this could happen. I'm an idiot.

In my head I was telling Maura I loved her, that I wasn't gone. But my body didn't let me. I was caught.

After Maura told me everything, she just cried. Silent, probably hoping that I wouldn't hear, but I did.

I wanted to pull her to me, in a hug, kissing her. but I couldn't, it made me angry and frustrated.

Like she could read my mind she bent down, laying her head next to mine. Her arm laying across my stomach, the other held my hand. She still cried.

After quite some time her breathing evened, she was asleep.

I smiled on the inside, happy to have her close to me again.

Constance came back from the restaurant after an hour and a half. She had taken something to drink for Maura with her.

She walked by all the other rooms on the intensive care. She looked to some people, there were looking even worse than Jane.

She approached the room.

Maura was laying with her head on the bed, her lower body still on the chair. She was holding Jane close to her.

For the first time after the accident she saw her daughter sleep peacefully.

The next week was exhausting for Maura. She went to school, after school she went home and made her homework. Then she went to the hospital.

"Hey Jane." Maura walked into the hospital room.

She walked to Jane and kissed her cheek. Maura had noticed that Jane wasn't that pale anymore, which was a good sign.

"Your birthday is the day after tomorrow, will you be awake then?"

Jane could hear the pleading sound in her voice, she was trying so hard to wake up but she couldn't, she failed every time.

"Luckily your birthday is in the weekend, so I can stay here all day. Even sleep here."

Jane's heart melted.

"You know, they miss you. At school. Even though you thought no one liked you, they do miss you. They even prayed for you." Maura took Jane's hand in hers, stroking her palm with her fingers.

That moment the door opened, "Hey Maura!"

"Hey Johanna!" Maura said happily.

"How's she doing?" Johanna started to check the machines and her infusion.

"I think she is doing great! Her face isn't that pale anymore." Maura sounded so happy.

Johanna smiled, "That's excellent!"

When she was done with checking she said, "I will get you something to drink and a piece of cake."

Before Maura could response Johanna had already left, "Now I understand why mother insisted on hiring her."

Maura told Jane about her day and how good Jo was doing. How everything on school went and about the fact that the police had found family to take her in when she was recovered enough.

She didn't tell her that she had to move to Boston.

Johanna came back with a two cans of cola and two pieces of chocolate cake.

"You shouldn't have done that you know." Maura smiled at Johanna.

"Think of it as a little pay back for what you do for Jane." She gave Maura her can and cake, "Is it okay if I sit here with you?"

"Of course!" Maura was truly happy, now there was someone else to talk to. Who could talk back. Not that she didn't like talking to Jane, but sometimes having someone talking back is just what you need, especially when your mother is to Europe again.

Of course Constance had made sure Maura was fine with her leaving again. She had told her yes, but deep inside she had wanted to say no, to let her mother stay for ones.

They shared stories, Maura was fascinated with the stories Johanna had to tell.

Science geeks. Jane thought.

Though Jane could hear them talking, she couldn't understand after some time. she felt exhausted, maybe a nap would do her good.

She felt herself drift off to a dark place, which was not sleep.

Reviews are welcome, but I understand if this chapter doesn't deserve one.
