"J-Jane?" Maura whimpered slowly waking the next morning, not fully aware of her surroundings yet.
She was met by silence and sat up in bed, noticing the room was empty.
She looked around and saw her mothers case sitting at the foot of her bed. At least someone's here.
She lays back down in bed and the images of her nightmare flashes back into her head.
The lucid dreams of her being pinned down, raped.
She feels the tears rush down her face and she grabs the side of the bed.
"No! No. No. No.." She chants trying to forget. Forget the pain, forget the horrible actions that feel as though they are permanently etched on her brain.
She's crying harder as more images flash into her mind. She feels the hand on her shoulder and then the images come to a halt
"Maur. It's okay, I'm here" Jane whisperers and pulls her close "It's over. It's over baby"
Maura cries into the girl and she holds the redhead close.
"J-Jane, you weren't here. I-I d-dreamed that h-he was b-back on me-"
"-He isn't. Its just me Maur. Just me. I'm sorry I wasn't here. I swapped my time with your Mom and Dad. They needed to go home. They haven't left since you came in.."
"I know.. Jane I was so scared when I woke up. H-how will I get better?"
"You will. You will feel safe again baby. I'll help you with that. I will"
Maura nods "T-thank you"
"No problem Maur. I want you safe. ...Maura I'm so sorry this happened, I-I should've never let you walk home-"
"-I suggested walking Jane. You couldn't have known"
"Still... I want you to be happy and safe and this- this isn't safe and happy"
"No it isn't. But as you said, It'll get better.."
"It will. Now,relax Maur. Here, let me in behind you, I'll rub your shoulders... Is that okay?"
Maura nods "Yes, please"

"Jane... can I go home?"
Jane smiled "Are you sure you want to?"
"I am. I cant handle it here any more" Maura said then the doctor walked in
"Miss Isles, you can go home now if you'd like. We've done all the tests we need. Hope you feel better"
"Thank you" Maura nodded to the doctor and Jane took Maura's hand
"You okay?"
"Yeah.. I just miss my own bed"
"I understand. Okay, I'll call your Dad and We'll go then"
"Thank you Jane. I-I love you"
"Love you too Maura"
