"I win!" Jane makes a small jump as she finally reaches her house and Maura fallowed behind her shortly. They`re both out of breath and lean forward placing their hands on their knees with exhaustion. After a couple of seconds they both raise their head and burst into laughter as each one saw how tired the other is.

"Janiee" Maura froze when the front door swung open and a small boy start running, the small boy collides into Jane with a smile

" Frankie get back here!" a voice called from inside the house and soon a young woman came to view, the woman sighed when she saw Frankie clinging to his sister " I swear you kids will give me gray hair" Jane rolled her eyes at her mother

"Hi ma" Jane said with a smile, Maura took a step closer to Jane. Adults were always giving her disgusted glares whenever they saw her. Maura was scared, the time she spends with Jane made her forget about all of this but now, standing her in front of Jane's mom it all came back.

" you must be Maura" Maura almost jumped out of her skin when she heard her name . she swallowed hard and nodded not trusting her voice "Jane wouldn't stop talking about her new friend but she forgot to tell me something" as the woman took a few steps closer to Maura, Maura squeezed her eyes shut here it comes she thought. Jane will probably get yelled at for playing with me, Maura was waiting for Jane's mom to shout at her but instead she felt two hands pulling at her cheeks " she didn't tell me how adorable you are" Maura opened her eyes to see Angela face in front of her " you`re so cute I can eat you up"

"Ma stop, your embarrassing me"Jane aid between greeting teeth , Angela let go of Maura cheeks after they had turned pink

"That's not embarrassing you. This is embarrassing you" Angela held Jane in a tight embrace as Jane tried to squirm out of it

" ok , ok I get it" Jane whined and Angela let out a laugh placing a kiss on her daughters head before letting go , Frankie was laughing at his sister . "Ma can Maura stay for dinner?" Jane raised her head to look at her mother with a puppy face

"I don't know honey, it's getting dark I'm sure her parents will get worried if she didn't go home" Angela looked at Maura waiting for a reply; Maura was still lost in her world. Seeing Angela hugging Jane made her think of the things she lounged for the most.

"Huh? I should probably go it's getting late. Nice to meet you MRS. Rizzoli, goodbye Jane"

"See you Maura" Jane shouted after her before going inside

Why did Jane squirm out of her mothers embrace like that? You would give anything to be hugged like that; you would give your whole life to have someone kiss you on the top of your head like that. You don't understand why you`re running, what? Did you miss your empty apartment so much? You finally slowdown and start walking as slow as possible. You don't want to go home, you want to be there having dinner with Jane. You start to wonder why you said no, but how you can explain that no one would care, no one would notice if you didn't go home early or at all for that matter.

You should be flying with happiness from your day with Jane but with each step bringing you closer to your prison to your loneliness, you slowly start to remember all the things that you blocked out when you were with Jane ,Your new friend . A small smile finds its way into your lips with that thought, your new friend! The smile grows bigger and bigger as you remember the day you had with her.

Before you know it you`re standing at your door turning the key in the lock. You turn on every light there is in the apartment, you know its empty but you still breathe out a disappointment "I'm home" you say into the emptiness. You remember the noise at Jane's house and sadness wash over you

Going into the kitchen you remember something "shoot" you forgot to go shopping today, oh well you think before closing the fridge door. You can see the single slice and you`re debating whether to eat it now or keep it for tomorrow. You`re stomach growls make the decision for you and you grab the slice with a lazy hand. Tomorrow, tomorrow for sure you`re going to the market.

"That's not embarrassing you. This is embarrassing you" her voice echoes in your head as you hug your pillow to sleep

Your day start as usual but with a smile, you can`t wait to see Jane again today. You walk with a smile to school until you see two kids leaving for school as well

' bye mom'

'hey wait up, you forgot your lunch bags' you watch as their mother comes to the door handing them two small lunch bags with a smile

' what is it?' they ask with excitement

' your favorite'

' really? Thanks mom you`re the best' you watch as she sends them kisses in the air and they waive her goodbye . you`re Jealous, you`re so Jealous of them right now but you force yourself to keep on walking, reminding yourself that you`ll see Jane today .

you walk up to your locker where you find the word 'Doyle' written in black marker. How can your own name be such an insult? You glance sideways to see some kids muffling laughter, sighing you start to enter your combination.

It's stuck, you keep pulling and pulling not noticing the boy that was walking behind you. You pull a final time and the locker opens with a thud, the sudden release cause you to stumble backwards and you feel your elbow making contact with something hard.

" aww, my nose" you turn around to see a boy on the ground holding his nose ,you gasp when you realize it's the same boy that made fun of you two days ago in the playground " you did that on purpose!" he shouted

"What? No I'm sorry I didn't see you. I didn't mean..." you kneel down trying to help him but he shoot you a glare

"Don't touch me" he shouted, you raise your head to see all the kids staring at you and whispering to each other

'Did you see that?'

'Oh my gad she broke his nose'

'She did that on purpose'

'That Doyle is scary'

Despite what you said, you still got a trip to the principal's office "did you even try to solve the problem before resorting to violent? All he did was make a comment" the kids already told the him about what happened in the play ground , they all said that you meant to hurt him . You stay quit as he talks with your sight on the ground and your hands in your lap playing with your sleeves. It doesn't matter what you say, no one ever believes you . you`re the daughter of a mobster, breaking a nose was just something expected from you so you remain silent. "Your father is on his way, although I'm forced to wonder how this father is raising you" Maura cling her jaw with anger boiling inside

"he`s not my dad" Maura said between greeted teeth but it was barely audible. Alex inter the room the room and the principal give you a few moments with him

"What happened Maura? what's this I hear about you breaking some kid`s nose huh?" he`s not shouting, he`s not yelling. he`s talking to you gently but you still can't get over what the principle said

" Alex you`re not my dad! you're not!" Maura shouts at him without raising her sight from the ground, her hands forming tight fists on her thighs. Alex sighs and stays silent until the principle comes back again and asks you to wait in outside.

You got a week in detention after school, Alex leaves after his talk with the principle without even looking back at you. you don't care, all you're thinking about is that you won't be able to see Jane for a week. At detention, you buried yourself in a book. It feels good; to forget the reality to lose yourself in a book and before you know it the detention is over. You pick up your back pack and start to walk slowly out of school. You pass the playground to find the kids playing but no Jane; you return your sight to your shoes and keep walking.

"Mauraaa" you hear her voice and turn around to see Jane running to you "I Looked everywhere for you, where did you go?" you`re about to answer when she talks again "never mind, listen we`re going see a movie wanna come?" Jane is still short breathed but has the widest grin

"I – uh I don't ..." Maura tried explaining why she couldn't go

"Oh come on Maura It will be fun, promise. And- and we won't take long" Jane said and waited patiently for Maura's reply

"I don't think your mother will be comfortable with me going with you" Maura said politely and let out a nerves chuckle and Jane started to laugh, they both jumped when they heard a cars horn Jane turned to see her mother`s car stopping next to them

"Oh good you found her. Come on you two hop in, the movie start in fifteen minutes" Jane turned to look at Maura with meaningful grin that Maura understood as see?

"I really can`t, I have to buy something from the supermarket" Maura said with a weak smile

"I`ll take you to the supermarket after the movie and you can call your parents and tell them where you are later come on"

"Come on" little Frankie said as he popped his head out of the window

" yeah Maura come on" Jane opened the door and got in the back seat taking Frankie in her lap, Maura looked at Jane for a few seconds weighing her options before fallowing her into the car and closing the door . "So how come you`re just getting back from school?" Jane said in a causal tone

"Huh?" Maura was taken off guard with the question, how Jane knew that she was just getting back from school

"You still have your backpack Maura" Jane pointed at the bag that Maura had in her lab now

"Oh, I-uh was in detention" Maura said embarrassed, Jane gave Maura a nod waiting for her to continue

"I… my locker was stuck and I sort of broke a boy`s nose trying to open it" Maura admitted with guilt, Jane muffled a laughter. Maura saw Angela looking at her from rearview and lowered her head with shame

"They shouldn't have put you in detention if it was an accident. it`s not your fault that the school`s too cheap to buy new lockers" Angela said seriously. Maura raised her head sharply, it felt strange. She believed what you said without questioning any word and even went as far as defending you.
