Jane woke up to an intense ache all over her body. She blinked open her eyes, letting them adjust to the bright lights of the hospital room. Suddenly she opened her eyes completely and began to move her head to each side, where was Maura? She tried to sit up to get a better view but pain stabbed into every part of her body and she lay back down. Suddenly a nurse was at her side, "Don't move okay? I'm going to get the doctor." Jane watched as she walked out of the room. Soon the doctor came in, smiling, and he began to check her all over and asked her questions, even shining a bright light in her eyes. Jane hardly noticed, her thoughts were completely consumed with Maura, the way she had looked; the bruises, cuts and scrapes, her eyes and especially how her personality had seemed to change. How in the room she had acted small and afraid, tears stung her eyes.

After a while the doctor left her alone with her thoughts and the pain. A few minutes later though Jane could hear wheels squeaking in the hall, getting closer. The door to her room slid open, Jane turned her head and gasped, "Maura?" Maura was rolled in by Jane's mother. Angela pushed the chair straight up to the bed. Maura reached out a hand in the direction of the bed blindly looking for her friend. Jane gingerly reached out and gripped Maura's hand and almost instantly both girls and Angela began sobbing.

Maura grabbed Jane's hand with her other one as well, "I w-was so worried about you!" Maura sobbed out. Jane just tightened her grip on Maura's hand, to choked up to speak. "D-don't ever leave me, okay?" Maura said. It wasn't a request but a mutual need for the both o them. They would need eachother for the rest of their lives.

End.
