Chapter 08
Casey woke alone and looked around. She sighed and fell back down to the bed. She already missed Jane.
Maura sat with her coffee in the cafe. She had her medical books opened and her computer with her. She didn't pay attention to anyone around her or anything that was going on...that is...until Jane stepped into the cafe.
Jane would have lied to herself if she had been surprised to see Maura. Of course Maura would know her working schedule and of course she was smart enough to sit down in the area where Jane had to serve. It seemed like that Maura always planed everything perfectly. She didn't doubt the fact that Maura was smart.
That fact that Maura read medical books made Jane feel uneasy. She wondered what she needed them for and of course she couldn't help but wondering if she was looking for methods to hurt her or poison her or something. Jane dropped her bag in the staff room, grabbed an apron and then got to work. As she passed by Maura seeing that her coffee was empty, she asked what every good waitress asked.
"Would you like another coffee?"
Maura smiled and looked up.
"Hello Jane," she said softly and shrugged. "I am good for now. Thanks for asking," she before she looked down at her books again and started writing. Jane saw Maura's papers and the formulas. Maura was a genius. She turned a paged in her book and continued with her work.
"You may go," she said without looking up again.
The curiosity got the better of Jane and she didn't move from her spot.
"Is that school related or a hobby of yours?" Jane asked and scanned the book page with her eyes.
Maura paused and looked up, half smiling.
"I am in medical school...second year, already," she said with a proud look to her eyes. Maura was smarter than Jane had realized. "Once I got better, I could actually think without the voices."
"You could skip a whole year in medical school and are in your second year already?" Jane asked, obviously impressed.
"Are you...trying to become a surgeon or something?" The brunette asked her.
"I don't know yet. I just needed something that felt right and learning about this, feels right," she said and shut her book.
"Are you going to spend all your shift talking to me? You should probably work," she said with a smirk and an arch of her brow.
"Uh yes." Jane said. She noticed that her supervisor was giving her looks already. Jane glanced down at the book again and then moved on to the next customer. Who would have thought that Maura would end up in Medical school?
Jane had heard from her shrink that Maura was insanely smart with a genius IQ, but she never really believed him, since Maura had seemed so crazy. Now that she had skipped a year in medical school and saw Maura's papers, she didnt doubt it anymore.
Maura watched Jane leave and smiled a little darker. She chewed on her lower lip before turning back to her paper.
She acted like she was working for hours until she saw Jane head into the restroom. She got up and followed her. Once inside, she locked the door and waited for Jane to get done and come out from the stall.
Soon enough Jane flushed the toilet and came out of the stall. She walked over to the sinks and washed her hands. In the corner of her eye she saw Maura and glanced at her. She grabbed a paper towel and dried her hands.
"Why are you still here? You are here since hours already." She pointed out.
Maura stood there and didn't move until Jane had spoke to. Jane was suddenly pinned against the stall door and Maura was flushed against her.
"Jane...don't you get it? I am here because of you. I want you...and I don't want anyone else to have you," she seemed to pur darkly.
Jane was shocked about Maura's action and stared into her wide-eyed into Maura's eyes.
"We've been through this already Maura." Jane said as calmly as she could.
"Please. You obviously started a new life in medical school...just get over me, please. Allow yourself to have feelings for another girl."
"There will never be another girl Jane," she said bitterly and looked into her eyes hard. Then she leaned forward and kissed her, deeply. Her kiss gave Jane chills even if she didn't want them. Maura could really kiss. Maura pulled back and looked at her again.
"Tell me you didn't feel anything."
Jane looked into her eyes and shook her head lightly.
"What does it matter? I don't have feelings for you...It means nothing to me." The brunette said with a sigh. "I have to get back to work."
Jane's words struck Maura differently this time and as Jane would step aside, Maura reached out and grabbed her hair, pulling her back.
"No feelings?! NO FEELINGS!" She growled and pulling Jane's head back so that her neck was exposed. "I don't believe you."
Jane gasped and grabbed behind her to Maura's hand in her hair. Her heart was beating fast in her chest again.
"Stop this craziness or I will scream, Maura." Jane said serious, her chest raising and falling in a quick manner.
Maura simply let her go. Her left eye twitched and Jane didn't miss that. She stepped back and stared at Jane.
"Fine...but when your life falls apart, don't come crawling to me because you think I can do something about it. I won't..."
Jane held eye contact with Maura for a moment. She had no idea what she meant and why she'd ever go to Maura for help. Jane left the stall and then unlocked the door of the bathroom and hurried outside. Jane looked a bit disheveled and upset.
Maura smiled once she was alone and would use the restroom and to her table once again. She ignored Jane for the rest of her shift...until Casey would enter. Casey walked up to the counter and smiled at Jane. Seeing Casey, Maura's cheeks instantly flushed.
Jane smiled at her girlfriend and pecked a kiss on her lips, before they had a quick chat. Casey glanced over to Maura, a sign that they obviously talked about her. Jane continued to work and Casey walked over to Maura, sitting down in the booth across from her.
"Listen to me blondie..." Casey started. "I don't know what your problem is but stop talking my girlfriend." She said and looked at her.
"Go and look for someone else because Jane and I won't break up. I know what you did to her...and I can't believe that you think she would be even remotely interested in you."
Maura didn't look at Casey as she talked to her. She just looked at her paper and wrote down a few things. She half smirked right before she did look up and into Casey's eyes.
"There really isn't anything that you could do, stop trying to do anything at all. She will realize that you aren't the one for her soon enough..."
Casey shook her head in disbelief.
"Why won't you understand? How sick are you? Why did they even release you from the mental institution? Jane and I love eachother. There is nothing you can do about it. You think she will fall for you just because you go wherever she goes? Move on finally."
"Stop acting like a child," she said and rolled her eyes before looking down at her paper once again.
"I just liked the program here. Jane just happened to be here as well. It was a plus, I might say," she said with a smirk.
"Yeah right." Casey snorted a laugh and got up from the booth. "Just stay away from her." With those words, Casey went to an empty table and sat down. She got out a book herself and started studying while she exchanged smiles and glances with Jane every now and then.
Maura just watched Casey go and she laughed silently at the girl. She then shrugged and looked back down to her paper. She was bugged by Casey more than anything she cared to admit about. Casey was the one thing standing in her way to get to Jane. If she wasn't there...Jane would undoubtably be hers.
It was about two weeks later when Jane had the night shift at the café. She was the last one and locked the café just after 10PM. Her feet hurt from running around all day and she was dying to get home. She zipped her jacket closed, put the keys in her purse and then made her way to campus.
A guy that Jane kinda knew was outside just getting to his car when Jane came out. He looked over at her and called out to her.
"Hey...it's Tim from class...can I give you a ride," she said.
Jane looked over to him and rushed across the street.
"Hey." Jane flashed him a dimpled smile. "That would be really nice. It's freezing out here. Thanks, Tim." Jane said and got inside his car and buckled up.
"Not a problem," he said and made sure that she was buckled up before he took off. He asked where she lived and when he got to her street, he simply didn't stop and kept on going.
Jane glanced over to him as he passed by her street.
"Hey wait, you just missed it." Jane said and looked outta the window and then at him. He looked like he missed it on purpose. Panic rose inside of her and she immediately grabbed the door handle and tried to open it but it was locked.
"Where are we going? What do you want?" Jane asked him.
"Hush...I am not going to hurt you..." he said and sped down the street and into the darkness of the side streets. He hit a more suburb part of campus and soon parked outside a large dorm.
"Get out..." he said and unlocked the doors.
Jane felt sick to her stomach as she opened the door and got outside the car. She looked around, trying to determine where she was but she had no idea. She hoped that Casey would call the police once she'd notice that Jane wasn't coming home but then again a person needed to be missed a certain amount of time before they'd even do anything.
"Why are you doing this? I've never done anything to you." Jane said to him, hurt in her voice.
"Shut the door," he said and then when Jane did that, he simply sped off.
Maura looked outside her window and then saw Jane. She smiled. It had worked out perfectly. She moved down the steps and to the front door.
"Jane?!"
Jane looked after Tim and then startled as she heard Maura's voice. She looked at her and her jaw tensed. Maura was behind all that. Of course!
"So you paid Tim to bring me here?" Jane asked her in disbelief.
"I didn't pay anyone," she said from the door and then beckoned Jane to come inside. She smiled at Jane, to show her that she wasn't going to hurt her. Maura, inwardly had stopped taking her medicine once the voices hadn't gone away. She was completely raw with her sanity.
"Yeah right," Jane said but staid outside. "I just wanna use your phone, okay? To call a cab. I left mine at home this morning." The brunette said matter of factly and wrapped her arms around herself. It was really freezing outside.
"Fine," she said and stepped aside to let Jane enter.
Once she would get her into the house, she wasn't going to let her leave. Maura shuddered at the thought of taking Jane again and again...hearing her moan and scream at the same time...and then finally killing her.
Jane stood close by the door and her whole body language showed how tensed she was.
"Where's your phone?" Jane asked her. She didn't trust Maura and that was easily seen.
Maura folded her arms over her chest and pointed with her head to the right.
"Over there," she said with a half shrug. She watched Jane carefully, her face was flat and without emotion. Her eyes were hungry as they looked over Jane.
She followed Jane toward the phone and pulled out a cloth from her pocket. As Jane would pick up the phone, Maura grabbed her and covered her mouth with the cloth. Jane would only struggle for a few moments before her world went black.

Crazy crazy Maura...
