~~~Chapter 4 is in pre-production~~~
A month had gone by for the girls without even a glance at each other. Jane, not wanting to force Maura into talking when she's not ready, kept her distance, and any talk of work was done under the supervision of Jane's partner, Frost. Jane found that the only thought she could have when she was around Maura was of that Friday Night, which made it hard not have think about Maura in the most explicit sexual positions. Deep down Jane knew how she really felt about Maura, but on the surface her face was emotionless. Her feelings for Maura came out on that Friday night, and even thought Jane didn't know they were there before she definitely felt them now.
Maura on the other hand kept her feelings close. She acted as the professional medical examiner that she is whenever Jane came around. Maura knew of the feelings that lead her to fingering her friend on the couch, but the feelings to her were taboo. Before that night Jane would creep into Maura's head, and the only thing Maura could think of was holding Jane. Holding Jane in her arms while their naked skin touched each other. Neither of them would talk because the silence was enough to keep them company. Neither of them would move because the beating of their hearts was enough to feel. They would just lie there, and that was what Maura wanted, but when the feelings of want came Maura would push them out as fast as she could. She knew she couldn't feel that way about her best friend, about her best friend who is a girl.
On a rainy July Monday Jane followed Frost into Maura's autopsy room with her only thought being "Awkward times are here again". When Jane walked through she did her usual ritual, keeping her head down to avoid accidentally making eye contact with Maura, which Maura did notice but never once mentioned. As Jane kept her head horizontal to the room she realized that Maura's feet were no where to be seen. Cautiously Jane lifted her head to find that Maura was doing an autopsy, which shocked Frost as he ran to the sink. Jane found that her voice box seemed to be completely void of words as she stood there watching Maura, so instead she let her eyes wonder. She first looked over at Frost to see that he was not looking and when she could confirm that his head was too deep in the sink to see anything other then the metal surrounding him she turned towards Maura. Maura had looked over at Frost to see if he was going to try and talk to her, but after seeing him she realized he would not be speaking for a few minutes, so without sparing a glance at Jane she went back to her work. Jane had a rare opportunity to take a good look at Maura without fear or being noticed by her. First Jane started on the most obvious spot, Maura's butt. Jane was always jealous of how Maura could make her ass look good in anything, even her scrubs, but it wasn't until after "that night" that Jane realized that she really just thought Maura had the cutest butt ever. As Jane just stood gazing at Maura's backside (with a slight smile on her face) she notice Maura move a bit towards Jane, which made Jane look at Maura's face. From standing 20 feet away from Maura she could only see the side of her face but what she saw made the smile on her face go away. She could see something in Maura's face that was much different then she had ever seen before. Her face was droopy and tired, and Jane could see her make-up was not nearly as neat as it use to be, but there was something else Jane could see on Maura's face but what that thing was, Jane could not tell.
After Frost got his stomach back into check he walked over to both of the beautiful ladies and continued work as normal. As Frost talked about the case of a man coming in through women's' windows, tying them up and then cutting out their uterus's, Jane thought only of Maura. She never said anything through the conversation, but would glance at Maura to see the face that was causing her confusion. Jane knew that she would never be able to ask Maura what was wrong. She knew the girl she loved, her best friend (Even if they hadn't talked in a month) was going through something but she could not even ask her what it was. Jane just kept glancing back at Maura, as the deep feeling in her stomach grew worse.
Over the next two months Maura and Jane's relationship only got more awkward. Since Jane had seen the deep misery in Maura's face she could not bring herself to even say a word to her, but she wanted to. She grew more worried about Maura everyday because Jane only knew all too well that Maura had no friends besides Jane.
As Jane sat at her desk with a file sitting before her eyes she said to herself "You gotta do some work Rizzoli, it will get Maura out of your head", which it actually did do. Jane successfully went fifteen minutes without thinking about Maura until Korsak looked towards Jane and said, "What's up between you and Maura?" Jane's head shot up in fear, and the only words her mind would let her speak we're "Nothing. I'm not gay". Korsak just kind of started at Jane with an enigma on his face while Frost looked over at Jane. Korsak finally got over the shock to say, "I mean your friendship. You guys haven't been talking very much" Frost beamed in with "Yeah I noticed that too. Did you guys get in a fight?" Like a teenager lying to their parents Jane could only think to say "Nothing. Sometimes people just grow apart". Frost looked at Korsak and said (as if he were speaking for both him and Frost) "But you two act like you ain't even there". That was all Jane could handle. What she had been going through with Maura was something she did not want to handle with anyone else, so without answering she turned in her chair, got up, and walked away.
Neither Frost nor Korsak questioned Jane and Maura's relationship after that. Jane had even thought of the awkward silenced between them as the usual. It seemed that their whole relationship was now bound to this one thing: awkward silences that never ended.
