Okay, I have been getting loads of positive feedback, and now have an amazing idea on how Jane can win Maura back. It won't happen this chapter, but I am leading up to it. Comments and reviews are always welcome.. JANE AND MAURA'S VIEW.

Maybe Emily was right. Maura has been so good to me, and just because I am the one freaking out a bit, doesn't mean she has to be punished for it. They were just words, and when I heard her say them, my heart stopped for two reasons. Panic…and something I hadn't felt before. But I can't seem to put my finger on it properly.

Urgh, how am I going to make this up to her? There has to be something. Okay Jane, think. What says romantic, but sorry at the same time. Re-enacting the first of something. That's what all the people in the movies do. What should it be of? Maybe not the first time we kissed because I had just told her about my dad.

The tree probably won't be much good either, that can easily go wrong. The car seems too cliché. What should I do, I'm running out of options. Wait, where am I? The gym? The gym. Of course how had I not thought of this before? The dance. Both of us had the same thought of what was going to happen, but I screwed that up as well.

But how will I get her here? She never comes near the gym unless she has to. This is going to take some serious planning.

A mistake. Why would she say that to me? To my face. Maybe she was right, I mean it all happened so fast. I barely even remember most of the night. Although that could be for other reasons. Oh, what am I saying? She stole my heart and then ripped it to shreds. I guess I should have known better, considering my history with love.

The final bell goes and I couldn't be happier. Normally I would stay around for a while and try and catch up on paper work. But I just had nothing left for myself today. It's a new day tomorrow, with a completely fresh start. I guess I could come in early tomorrow and get a head start on some of the work. But for now I am going home. I packed up all my books and sheets and went straight for my car. The less time I had to spend here today the easier my life was going to be.

Home at last. All I want to do is have a nice hot bubble bath with a glass of wine, then go directly to bed. And you know what, that was exactly what I was going to do. But just as I was taking my gown off to get into the bath, there was a knock at the door. If that is Jane, I am slamming the door in her face. As I swung the door open, I readied myself to scream at whoever was disturbing my relaxation time, only to find that there wasn't anyone at the door. There was just a small box sitting on the door step with a note attached to it by a lovely purple ribbon. I slowly undid the ribbon so that I could remove the letter and read what it had to say.

The tango, the most passionate and intimate of all the dances if you ask me. The close contact with the partners, and the seductive moves and touches.

A little surprise lies in store for tomorrow. Be sure to bring your dancing shoes.

Sincerely,

A regretful admirer

P.S. this isn't meant to seem stalker-ish.

A regretful admirer? Isn't normally a secret admirer? And what does it mean by 'bring my dancing shoes'? The only thing I can think of is the time when I danced with Jane in the gym, but this doesn't really seem like something Jane would do. I put the letter down and opened the box. It was the top of the tiger lily flower. These were my absolute favourite flower because of the meaning behind them. I dare you to love me. They were such and extraordinary flower. Who did this. I turned the note over to see if I missed anything, but nothing. I didn't recognise the hand writing of the person that wrote it.

I left the letter on the table and took the flower to the bathroom with me. I placed it down by the sink and stepped into the bath. Mmmmmmmm. I needed this. I deserved this. After the day I had had, I needed to treat myself and pray that tomorrow would be much better than the horrors I have had today.

5:30 am. Time to get up. I need to get in early today and try to catch up on what I left behind yesterday. I had never seen myself get ready so fast. The whole morning was a blur and then I finally realised it was only 6:32. I would be at the school by 7, and I don't need to be there until 8. Now I'm hoping I have as much work as I think I do or this whole thing will be completely pointless.

As I stepped out of my car, I took in a breath of the fresh air. Something about this moment told me that today was going to be a good day.

I set up the whole thing the night before, after everyone else had gone home, but I had a feeling Maura would be coming in early. And I was right too. So I slept in my car and when Maura drove away I followed fair enough behind that she couldn't really see me but just enough that I could see her. I waited for her to enter the building before pulling into the car park, and then running as fast as I could to the gym to get myself ready. God I really hope this works. I want Maura to know that I truly do care about her, and what I did yesterday…was a massive mistake. Wow the irony behind those words.

I barely took two steps into my room before I was completely swept off my feet. There were rose petals all over the room. On my desk, over the seats. I saw a note on my desk. This person seems to have a really like letters. I opened the note and upon it was a poem of sorts.

Follow the red petal road
and fill your heart's desire.
Music is a romantic thing
but my music will set you on fire.

Okay, simple enough, follow the petals. They appeared as though they were leading me to the music room. On the front of the music room door was yet another note.

Roots are an important thing to have
and as the tree grows, the branches reach high.
Climb all the branches until you have to stop
the only limit is the sky.

Okay, music room, tree this had to be Jane so I went to the tree where I found her after we first kissed. And what a surprise another note.

Almost at the end I swear
the journey has taken you long and far.
Dance is such a passionate sport
so how about we set the bar.

Dance? If this really is Jane, the only place she could be leading me would be the gym, when we danced the tango. Well let's give it a go. I'll never know unless I try. Once I got to the gym, I proved my suspicions true. What threw me though was the fact that there was one more note.

Love is blind
and you should also be so.
Put on the blind fold
and be sure you enter slow.

Blind fold? I looked down at the door handle and low and behold, a blind fold. I took it off the door handle and carefully placed it over my eyes. I opened the door with little struggle and as I entered the gym I felt my nerves go completely crazy. Then I heard music start and I could relax. I was right, this was going to be a good day.
