sorry for the delay . a spacial thanks to justmets for the beautiful ideas

It feels like yesterday, being here, watching the kids interact with their parents, walking as slow as possible to avoid the investable. You allow your legs to guide you; they know their way through these all too familiar's streets. Most of the houses haven't changed, faces on the other hand seem a lot different, and perhaps it's due to their lacking the sharp angry glares.

You find yourself in front of the old play ground, all the kids are playing, and no one is left behind. You`re a little relived to know that no one will end up like you and yet you`re still angry for being the only one put in that situation. You decide to move on, you`re not a kid anymore, there is no need for you to be here.

Standing in front of the old building, your stomach clutches and turns when memories flow back into your head. You`ve blocked them out for so long, trying to forget, pretending that they never happened. The owner said that no one would rent it after an 'incident' that accrued a few years back. You already know what the incent is so you don't ask and nod polity.

You should head back know, your luggage must have arrived by know. The maid already cleaned the dust off the house so that won't be a problem. Curls of dark raven hair catches your sight as you walk past a small buddle, too small to call a lake. A figure is sitting in front of the buddle with its back turned to you. It's not her you convenes yourself, what you don't realize is that you have stopped walking and now staring at the figure. She must have sensed that she was being watched because her whole body tensed before she turned slowly to you. her angry glare makes you turn full on red for being caught staring , immediately breaking eye contact and pretending to look at the street as you continue walking . After a few seconds, you stop feeling the angry glare that burned a hole into your head. You turn your head slowly allowing yourself on last glance at girl.

She looks just like her, with longer curls, but it's not. She's not her, she can't be her. The one you know is full of life, smiling at anyone she`d meet not like this girl. After walking a few moments you start to think about that glare, at first you thought that it was just like the old days, but now you know it was different, it wasn't aimed specifically at you; it was aimed at anyone who would dare look her way.

The villa finally came to view, it's nothing like the building you stood in front not an hour ago, and it's surprising how one city could hold two things that couldn't be any more different.

"it`s nice to finally meet you miss isles" the maid said with a smile as you walk into the house. "I'm sorry that you had to wait for us while we cleaned the house. It's a bit dusty, you would have cleaned if you gave us a heads up" the maid said nervously as she fallowed Maura into the house. The maid opened the door to an over large bed room "I'm really sorry miss isles, we couldn't clean the master bed room with such short notice, I'm sure it will done by tomorrow" the maid excused herself leaving Maura alone in the room; her clothes are already arranged in the closet.

Maura lays on the bed facing the ceiling , it was on short notice that she came her , but it was what her mother decides , she said that it was better that Maura took some time away from her . What was ironic is that Maura never spent any time with her mother, the only time she got to see her is when her mother came for a little visit and she only came two times in five years time. Why did I say that?

" my daughter , I'm so proud of you" constant gave Maura a formal two kiss on the cheeks before pulling away and looking at Maura, Maura wasn't making eye contact, she was staring at the ground sadly . She sees the way all parents hug their daughters with such lounging when they see them

"In that case, why didn't you ever meet any of your friends?" Maura mumbled to herself but constant caught it

"You`re too adorable, I want to keep you all to myself" constant raised her hand wanting to place it on Maura's cheek but Maura toke step back

"You`re ashamed of me" Maura whispered with sadness

"What?! No, I love you. I would die for you, I love you so much" constant started blurring out stomping on her words

"Why is that all you ever say?" Maura asked with bitterness as a lump formed her throat, she`s been holding this question for many years now. Maura took a deep breath before raising her head to look constant in the eyes "You never accepted me; you accepted the thought of having a daughter not me. You were only saying the things you thought a mother is suppose to say" the anger was showing but her tone still quit.

Constant said that perhaps Maura's outburst was due to her raging teens hormones. A change of environment should help constant thought before taking Maura out of her school and bringing her back to Boston.

Out of all the places constant could have picked, why did it have to be here? Maybe she wanted you to see where you came from, what you were before the isles. It was a punishment as Maura gathered. Maura bit the inside of her cheek to stop the anger that started boiling inside her. She only said what had to be said, it was the truth that's why constant couldn't defend herself in front of Maura.

Still, Maura tried to find the advantages of being back at Boston, it's much more quitter than the dorm, she`s free go and come as she pleases, the library is big, she can spend most of the hours there. The image of the dark haired girl appeared in Maura's mind, ending her chain of thoughts. Maura sighed before finally allowing herself to relax in bed, tomorrow will be a long day.

The chuffer drove Maura to school the next day , Maura got out of the car and stood there for a few seconds taking in the look of the new school , it was nothing much . A typical building with teenagers walking in and out of it with some sitting on the steps chatting with their friends.

Maura was looking around when raven curls caught her attention once more , this time the girl was leaning on the concert wall with her fists shoved into her hoddie`s pockets , the girl`s eyes were a mixture of anger and sorrow till she noticed Maura's gaze and gave the same angry glare when their eyes met .

Maura broke eyes contact and continued her way inside the school. Finding the first class was easy, the teacher introduces her to the class before she took a seat and the teacher started checking the absent

"Mary James?"

"Here"

The names started to fade from Maura's ears, till a special name brought her back to reality, "Jane… absent as usual" the teacher answer himself before writing something in her notebook. Maura couldn't help but turn to the empty chair that lay at the end of class abandoned with a sigh of disappointment.

The class went smoothly; Maura already knew most of what the teacher was saying. She took the small paper from her large notebook; it had the numbers of all her classes. Maura started wondering around the school looking for the next class with no luck, Maura was still staring at the piece of paper tell she bumped into a hard body.

"Oh, I'm sorry I wasn't looking" Maura raised her head with and an apologetic smile but the smile quickly faded when she found the same dark haired girl in front of her with a blank expression. "Sorry, I uh. I'm new here, my name is Maura. I think I'm lost" Maura said and let out a nerves laugh but the other girl`s expression didn't change , Maura cleared her throat before speaking again " I'm looking for Mr. Rosita `s classroom ?" Maura offered the paper to the girl but she made no attempt to take it with her fists resting in her pockets.

"Maura, huh?" out came a raspy mumble, that was so low Maura even thought that she imagined it. The girl started walking past Maura, brushing her shoulder slightly in the process. Maura turned around to look at the girl who walked a few feet and stopped as if waiting for Maura to fallow her. Catching on, Maura quickly fallowed the girl.

Maura tried to make a small chat but the other girl just kept ignoring her so she gave up and settled for being walked to the classroom in silent. The girl stopped after a few moments in front of a door and turned to look at Maura. Maura froze for a few seconds but then understood that this was her classroom. "Oh, uh thank you …" Maura said waiting for the girl to at least give her a name, the girl said nothing. She simply turned and started walking away.

Settling in the already filled class, Maura heard a couple of boys talking behind her

"That her right?" at first Maura thought that the whispering was all about her, but no. she`s not Doyle anymore and that made a small smile curl into her lips

"Yeah, yeah that's her"

"she`s scary man. Did you see the way she looks at people?"

"I know its crazy right? No ever heard her talk after what happened either, but…" the whispering was ended with the teacher slapping the books on the table trying to get as much attention as possible.

As the day ended, Maura pushed the large door with one hand while the other held her books close to her chest. Maura stopped when she opened the car door and turned around to where she first saw the dark haired girl today. Just as Maura thought, the girl was right there leaning on the wall with her fists in her pockets, this time Maura waited for the girl to notice her gaze.

The girl turned to glare at Maura- who to the girl`s surprise- gave a warm smile before making a nod of acknowledgment toward her and getting in the car. The girl was taken off guard but quickly shakes off the surprise and goes back to staring at the ground angry at herself
