Disclaimer: We own nothing but the idea of the story!
Glancing around at her alarm clock, Maura read that it was 7 in the morning. Slowing getting up and she stretches her muscles before moving the covers off her body and swinging her legs off the side of the bed. Getting up and grabbing her robe and putting it on, Maura walks to the bathroom and started to brush her teeth.
Setting down her toothbrush after she was done, she looks over herself in the mirror 'Today is going to be very interesting' she thought to herself as she reaches for her hair brush and running it through her hair a couple times. Finally feeling that she looks decent, she heads to her bedroom door and opens it before walking downstairs.
Jane, hearing Maura coming downstairs, gets out of bed and rushes to the guest bathroom. She hastily brushes her teeth and tries to maintain her mass of curls. Once she's done, she walks out of the bathroom and into the kitchen to grab a coffee.
"Morning Maur"
"Good morning Jane!" Maura says with a smile. "How did you sleep?"
"I slept okay. How about you?" She replies pouring herself a cup of coffee. "You mind?" she asked gesturing towards the cup.
"Not at all" Maura replies as she walks over to the fridge and grabs herself a cup of orange juice, "And I slept alright. Thanks for asking."
"So what's the plan for today? You have the day off too right?"
"Yes I have the day off as well. And I don't have any plans, we could go shopping for clothes for you? You know since all your clothes got burned in the fire." Maura said getting a little excited at the idea of going clothes shopping with Jane.
"Oh yeah. I forgot about that. Alright. I guess we can do that. I don't have much money on me through so we may have to go to thrift stores."
"Thrift stores? What are those?" Maura asks scrunching her face in confusion.
"I figured you wouldn't know" Jane says a little annoyed, "It's a place where people with no money go to buy clothes people gave away. They are used and old most the time"
Shaking her head, "You don't have to go shopping at the thrift store. I don't mind buying the clothes for you"
"Maura I already feel pathetic enough that I have to buy a whole new wardrobe. I'm not having you buy mu clothes too"
"Why do you feel pathetic? It's not your fault that your apartment building caught on fire."
"I have to restart my life. I'm very appreciative that you want to help but I need to buy my own clothes. It's a pride thing Maur."
"But Jane…"
Interrupting Maura before she could continue, "We go to the thrift store or you stay here."
Giving Jane an unhappy look," But Jane wearing other people's clothes is unsanitary and…"
"Thrift store or you stay" Jane interrupted again.
Sighing Maura "Fine. I'll go to the thrift store with you"
"Yes Maura I actually shop at a place like this." Jane said starting to get annoyed at her friends complaints. They had only been in the store for a total of ten minutes and Maura was already giving her a hard time.
"But it's so unorganized and unsanitary" Maura said as she looked around the place for the fifth time. "I mean look at this rack here." Pointing to a shirt display rack, "Their sizes are in all the wrong places, oh and look at this!" grabbing a hanger from the rack, "A pair of jeans are on here. Jeans aren't supposed to be on the same rack as shirts Jane" Maura concluded as she gave Jane a pointed look.
"It's all I can afford Maura. I don't have a choice."
"You do have a choice Jane"
"And what choice is that Maura?
"Honestly Jane, I offered to pay for your clothes." Maura said stopping in front of Jane and turning her body to face her more. "I honestly don't mind. If it is that big of a deal we can either say that it's another birthday gift from me or you can just pay me back when you get the chance."
"Maura just stop! I'm not letting you pay for my clothes!"
"I honestly don't understand why!" Maura practically yelled. Lowering her voice so that only her friend could hear, she continues, "We have been friends for years. It would be a big deal for me to help you buy a few outfits"
"How do you feel about lying?" Jane snapped. "Is that a big deal for you? Cause it is to me!"
Maura takes a slow step backwards, away from Jane as she looks down at the ground. Turning to the rack that she was previously talking about. Flipping through it before taking a plain blue shirt out, "You're a large in shirts right?"
"Really? You're gonna ignore me now?" Jane was started to get mad, "What the hell Maura"
Holding up the shirt towards Jane, Maura tilts her head a little to the left, "Hmm. Maybe a medium would be better? Large looks a little big for you."
"Why do you keep avoiding the question? What's the big secret here?"
Sighing Maura puts the shirt back on the rack, going back to flipping through it, "I thought you would be happy."
"Happy about what?" Jane asked with a confused look.
"The fact that I finally stopped asking to help pay for your clothes."
"I want to know why you are ignoring the question more than I don't want you to pay for my clothes" Jane stopped and rethought what she said. "Yeah that makes sense"
"I'm not ignoring the question" Maura said turning back to Jane holding up a plain pink shirt. "I heard it" shaking her head at how it looked as she places it back on the rack, "I am just choosing not to answer it"
"And why is that?" Jane said starting in on another rack of clothes.
"I'm trying to save our friendship." Maura said barely audible.
Being able to hear what Maura said, but wanting to be sure what she heard right, Jane asks, "Trying to save what?"
"Oh! Look over there!" Maura said quickly pointing just to her left, "Shoes!" Maura pushes herself away from the shirt rack, starting to head towards the shoes.
Quickly turning around and gently grabbing Maura's forearm, turning her around so that they were looking each other in the eyes, before gently asking "Trying to save what Maura?"
"Jane…" Maura said trying to tug her arm out of Janes grasps. "I…" Shaking her head before looking down at the floor.
"Maur… Look at me" Jane softly demanded. Waiting until Maura's eyes were locked on hers again. "Stop ignoring my questions. Please."
Maura softens at the 'please'. Sighing she closes her eyes for a few seconds, trying to clear her thoughts before giving into what Jane wants, opening her eyes she whispers, "I'm trying to save our friendship."
Giving her friend a confused look, Jane lets go of Maura's forearm, "Why are you trying to save our friendship?"
