I don't own the characters.
I know the chapters are really short, but I promise they'll get longer and also I will upload more than one chapter each day to make up for the shortness.
Finally home, Jane threw her jeans into the washer, where still only her pyjama shorts were lying.
Even though there were only these two items in it, she started the machine, hoping the stains would be removed on both.
She was nervous about her friend being there with her, knowing something was going on.
Realizing she wouldn't have too much time she decided to clean heself up.
She then redid her bandages, hoping they would be enough this time.
Time had gone by fast and she had just put on her baggy pants when the doorbell rang.
Maura was stunning as usual, dressed in a light blue dress, chinese take out in her hands.
They quietly sat down on the couch and turned on the tv while eating.
When they had finished Maura decided she would try one more time to get her friend to talk.
"Jane, whatever is bothering you, you know you can tell me, don't you?"
The brunette nodded in response.
"Whatever it is, it's safe with me. I can tell there's something going on with you."
As much as Jane wanted to tell Maura all her secrets in that moment, she knew she'd regret it. Who would want to be friends with someone who did what she did? "Listen Maur" she began. "I don't know what you see in me right now, but I guess whatever it is, it's just there because I, I... well, I have my period."
She herself noticed how ridiculous she sounded, and even Maura raised her eyebrows.
"You don't have to tell me" she said quite snappy, regretting it immediately.
To make up for her harsh tone, she put her hand on Jane's thigh.
Jane flinched at the contact. She tried to suppress the wince that was building up, but she failed.
That was it for Maura. If Jane wouldn't tell her, she would find out through other ways.
She got up and excused her to the bathroom.
While the blonde was away, Jane thought about ways to get out of this situation.
After an internal debate she called out "Maura, I think I need some time on my own. I hope you don't mind, but I would like you to leave now."
No answer was given.
Maura was busy in the bathroom, searching for a bin or something like that. When she finally found the tiny box in one of the cupboards, she breathed in deeply before opening it, and when she did, she felt her stomach drop.
Leaving the box open, she searched through every box there was, finding more and more evidence of what was obvious.
When she found the razor blades, she decided it was time to confront her friend.
