Hello Friendship
Maura cries, clutching Korsak's shirt. I can't believe Jane doesn't remember me. Jane walks outside and walks over to Maura.
"Maur, you okay?" Jane makes sure to use her nickname. Maura looks up at Jane. "Yo, dumb genius, did we save you in time?" Maura nods, fresh tears entering her eyes.
"Jane!" Maura cries. Shoving off Korsak, Maura tackles Jane with a hug. Oh my gosh! Jane!"
"Jane, you did save me in time." Maura wipes away the tears that won't stop. "Take me home?"
"Of course." Jane nods. Jane grabs Maura and picks her up carrying her to the car.
"Jane!" Maura squeaks, "I know how to walk!"
"I know Maur, but your shaking like a leaf. I'm afraid if I let you walk on your own you'll fall over and get hurt, so I'm carrying you."
"Jane, I'm just shaken up. I'm not going to fall over and die." Jane opens the passenger door and sets Maura in the car. Jane then shuts the door then goes over to the driver side and slides in herself.
Jane pulls up to Maura's house. Maura notices multiple cars there.
"Who here?" Mau re a asks sleepily.
"Your parents, Hope, Ma, Frankie, Tommy, and... I don't remember the last person's name." Maura nods.
The two girls enter Maura's house. Maura immediately see the person Jane didn't know the name of.
Hannah.
A frown appears on Maura's face.
"Maura!" Angela yells, running over and giving Maura a big hug. One by one the rest of the people in her house do the same, till it's only Hannah left. Hannah walks up and does two air kisses on each side of Maura's face.
"Hannah, what are you doing here?" Maura asks in a polite voice, but through gritted teeth.
"I came to make sure my bfffl is okay. I heard you got kidnapped! That's so horrid! Are you okay Maurs?" Hannah asks sweetly.
"I'm very tired Hannah, so I'm going to ask for every to leave so I may get some much needed rest. How about I call yup tomorrow Hannah?" Maura puts her hand on Hannah's back as she walks her to the door.
"Okay! Talk to you tomorrow Maurs!" With that Hannah leaves. Maura turns around to see the rest of her guests getting ready to go.
"Please, all of you. Stay. Hannah was the school bully at the girls school I went to. She just wants publicity. I didn't feel it would be very kind of me to make a scene. Angela, I know you my guest right now, so if you don't want to it us okay, but-"
"Yes dear, I'll make some food for everyone. I'm happy to do so."
"Thank you so much Angela." Jane leads Maura over to the couch and pushes her down on it.
"Maura your exhausted. Just rest right now." Maura nods and let's her guests take care of her.
Soon Angela had food made and brought food over to Maura and the rest of her guests.
"Maur, let's get you up to bed," Jane says. Maura nods sleepily. Jane picks up Maura up, with some protest from Maura herself, but Jane ignores her friends protest and takes her to her room.
Jane gets Maura into her room. Maura makes Jane stand outside her room as she gets into her Pjs. Jane comes back into Maura's room when she's done changing and Jane finds Maura passed out on top of her bed.
Jane walks over and slides the covers over Maura. She slides some hair out of Maura's face and kisses her forehead. "Night Maur, sleep tight, Jane whispers to her friend before quietly leaving the room. Jane slips downstairs. "She's asleep. I'm going to stay here tonight. You all g get some sleep. I'll have her call you in the morning when she gets up. Night everyone." Jane walks everyone to the door, being the proper host like Maura would be.
Hours after everyone has left a scream is heard throughout the house. Jane races to Maura's room, the source of the scream, and bolts in.
Maura is sitting upright and stiff. "Maura, Maura, shhhhhhhhhhhhhh," Jane jumps next to Maura and starts rubbing her back slowly. "Maura, your safe, shhh," Jane tries to calm her.
"Jane, he tried to rape me," Maura sobs, "and Paddy was going to let him." Jane holds Maura until she's done shaking.
"Jane," Maura's red and puffy eyes meet Jane's, "thank you so much for being my friend."
"Maura, we've been best friends for years now and always will be." Jane helps Maura fall back asleep.
