Part Four

The days past, Jane called me a few times to make sure that I was doing okay. Some days she sounded more concerned, and other days she just called to let me know that they were still working hard on the case. I didn't except them to get any solid leads yet, but I was kinda hoping. I had been working a late night, spending extra time in the office. I had made it a habit a bit to often lately, and did feel bad that I was neglecting my kids. They didn't seem to mind the pay checks though, and the trips to foreign countries, so they didn't complain.

-Note: Rizzoli POV.-

Rizzoli sat in a booth at the bar she frequented. Maura sat across from her, sipping on her wine. "You know, you never did tell me everything that had happened," Maura started. Jane gave her a look. "I really don't want to talk about it. I'm still a bit concerned though." "Well Jane, you have every right to be. Her rapist is still out there. But honey, I'm more concerned with you right now. You seem to have distanced yourself from everyone, even me."

Rizzoli picked up the bottle of beer she was drinking and took a long swig. She looked out the window, an angry expression crossed her face. "Hey, what ever it is. I can help you get through it." Maura told her. "Not this Maura, not this." "Is it about Allison?" Maura asked. Jane nodded. "Well, did you at least have fun?" Jane looked to Maura and a smile played across her face. "Yeah, I had a great time. It was exhilarating. I have never felt this good in a while." Jane played with her hands, continuing on talking about Allison. Before it got to intense Maura did an ahem style cough and Jane looked up. Standing behind her was Korsak.

"Hey Korsak, what's up?" Jane asked. He looked serious, too serious, for Jane's liking. "It's Allison, she's been hit by a car. An Escalade to be exact." Jane looked worried. "I'm going." She grabbed her jacket and stood up. Maura followed suit.

A little while later they were there at the hospital. I was laying in a bed, an oxygen mask covering my face. I was unconscious. "What happened?" Jane asked, a little forcefully. "We don't quite know who is at fault," a doctor said. "What are her injuries?" Maura asked. "Well the only damage really done was to her left leg. She needs a few pins in her knee, and a metal support to help the shattered tibia. She also has a few broken ribs, but mainly she's going to bruised." Maura nodded. "Can we see her?" Jane asked. The doctor nodded. "She is unconscious, but I am not concerned. Her brain scans look good." Once again Maura nodded.

Jane stepped into my room. Machines were beeping, making sure my heart rate was monitored. Jane sat down in the chair next to my bed. She sighed. She quickly stood up and left to room. Maura, who had been looking on, watched as her friend struggled with her emotions. Jane walked down the hall to the bathroom, tears in her eyes.

Maura sat down in the waiting room, and picked up a magazine. "You know, you really have a lot of explaining to do Jane," she said quietly when Jane appeared from the bathroom. "I know... It's just really complicated for me. I..." she began. Her phone rang. "Rizzoli!" she barked into the phone, trying to hide the fact that she was upset. "Hey partner. We got a report that someone spotted our rapist at the local Walmart." Frost said. He then gave her the location of where the Walmart was.

I came back into consciousness, and began taking rapid breaths. The pain in my leg as excruciating. Tears filled my eyes. A run came to my side and calmed me down. She said she was giving me something for the pain. I slipped back unconscious as she gave me the pain killer. A few moments later my body was in spasms and my heart rate was erratic. Maura jumped up and turned around. "What's happening?" she asked. The doctor shook his head that he didn't know and wheeled me out of the room and into a critical care unit.

-Note: Jane POV.-

Jane was pacing back and forth at the entrance of Walmart. She wanted to catch this guy. The guy that had hurt her friend.. her girlfriend.. lover... no- her friend. She played with the words in her head. Still trying to make some sense of how she felt. When she saw him coming out she yelled at him. "Hey!" He took off running and she followed suit, tackling him to the ground. Korsak was right there and told Jane that he was going to arrest him. "I got it Jane." Jane let go and said that he could have him. "Get this monster out of here," she practically screamed. She was still furious at the man. Her cell phone rang and she answered it. It was Maura. "Jane, you really need to get down here." Jane turned and told Korsak that she was going back t the hospital, something had happened.

Jane was in the waiting room. Maura looked at her. Frost stood next to some vending machines. "Jane I think you need to sit down for this." Maura said. Jane looked to where my room had been. "Oh god Maura. No. No. NO. Come on." She had her hands on her head and she walked back and forth. "Jane, please. I need you sit down." "Please tell me it isn't what I think it is." "I will tell you when you what happened when you sit down." Jane sat down, head in her hands.

"Allison has been moved to a critical care unit. As far as they can tell she is doing okay. Something happened and she slipped into a coma. They don't know what yet, but they are working on it." Maura explained. "Now will you tell me what is going on?" Maura asked. Jane sat back and looked at Maura. "She kissed me." Maura nodded. "And I kissed her back." "Okay, so you kissed her back, that doesn't mean..." Jane interrupted her. "I kissed her back and I liked it. God Maura. I don't know what is going on with me." She stood back up.

"Jane, I think that..." Maura paused. She stood up and held Jane's hands. "I am here for you no matter what. Gay or not, if there is anything I can do for you, let me know." Maura pulled Jane into a hug. "You are my best friend, don't let anyone get in the way of that." Jane smiled and hugged Maura back.
