AN: Here is chapter 5 I hope you like it.
Chapter five - The path to self destruction.
Eventually Jane told Frost to go home and that she would be fine that was two days ago, It's now Monday and Jane was meant to be at school but she wasn't. Of course Frost knew she wasn't coming so he informed his teachers that she had Norovirus luckily none of the teachers questioned this and gave him Jane's work to take to her.
However when he got to Maura's class he knew there was no need to lie so at the end of the lesson when Maura called him over he didn't panic.
"Hows Jane?" Maura asked.
"She was fine when I left her Saturday and she text me at lunch telling me she's okay." Frost said.
"Do you really think she's okay?" Maura asked again.
"Honestly no she told me what happened and it was awful. I don't think it's something she'll easily get over." Frost replied with a saddened expression.
"Will you tell me what happened? You don't have to but I'd like to help anyway I can." Maura said.
"I can't tell you." Frost said.
"That's okay will she be in tomorrow because we have a test and she doesn't know what material we've covered." Maura said.
"I think she'll come in for the test but she'll probably need help studying. Anyway I have to go or else I'm gunna be late for my shift." Frost said as he left the classroom.
At 4:15 Maura decided to go to Jane's not only to check on her but to help her revise for her science exam she wouldn't let Jane fail her class. Pulling up at Jane's house Maura noticed Jane's car in the driveway and all the curtains were closed. Knocking on the door Maura patiently waited for Jane to answer, the door swung open to reveal a worse for wear looking Jane Rizzoli.
The sight before broke Maura's heart a little, Jane didn't say anything but moved to let Maura in. Walking towards the living room Maura saw the empty take out container and alcohol bottles all over the living room floor. Clearly Jane hadn't left the house yet and was obviously not in the mood to clean, Jane closed the door and locked it behind her. She made her way back to the couch and got back under her blanket and curled up into the foetus position.
Maura crouched down and looked into Jane's eyes and could see how much pain she was, she just hoped she could help break through.
"I can understand why you weren't at school today and understand If you don't want come in tomorrow but you have a science exam and you don't know the material. So I'll make you a deal if you let me help you study you can come take your test after school when everyone's gone home okay?" Maura said.
Jane thought about it for a minuet even if she never would have someone who would love her for her she should at least try to have good job prospects for the future. Sure she wanted to be a cop but with her condition she was unsure whether or not they would accept her.
"I'll come do it in the morning but after that I'm coming straight home." Jane said as she sat up.
"That's fine so would you like me to help you study?" Maura asks sweetly.
"Yes please." Jane replied.
Maura can hear the pain and uncertainty in Jane's voice and it breaks her heart knowing she can't help.
After 2 hours of studying Maura was confident that Jane would do well, as she was packing up her stuff Maura could tell Jane wanted to tell her something.
"That Friday at the club after I left I bumped into someone and we went back to her place." Jane paused and Maura put her hand over Jane's silently telling her to continue.
"I don't really remember much I know I slept with someone, it was my first time. When I woke up in the morning I apologised to her saying I didn't usually hook up but she looked at me with so much disgust. She then told me that she didn't make it a habit to sleep with freaks of nature, she told me to get out of her house so I did. I ran and then I called Frost, that's why I haven't been at school. I can't face anybody knowing if someone accidentally found out then the whole school would treat me like that. I couldn't bare it." Jane said sadly.
"Jane that girl had no idea what she was talking about you are not a freak and I promise you I will help at school as much I can okay?" Maura said.
"You don't think I'm a freak?" Jane asked weakly.
"No you're a very beautiful woman." Maura said and Jane blushed.
"Thank you for everything tonight, I'm gunna go to bed now because I don't wanna miss this test." Jane said as Maura packed her things up.
"I'm confident you'll do well." Maura said as she walked to the front door.
"Thank you Maura." Jane said as she opened the door.
"It was my pleasure." Maura said as she stepped out of the door and walked to her car.
Jane closed the door and leaned against it, letting out a breath she wasn't aware she was holding.
The next morning Jane woke up got ready and went to school, when she arrived she sat at her desk. Frost was away with is mom visiting his dad in Washington DC, he had a week break before he was deployed again. Jane completed her test and handed it she and Maura said a quick hello before Jane decided she was going home again.
Walking towards her car she heard someone call out to her but she ignored them not wanting to socialise. The person called out to her again and she recognised the voice of Joey Grant and she could not be arsed with him, so she continued walking.
"Hey freak I'm talking to you." Joey said as he grabbed Jane's shoulder but Jane spun around she shoved him away.
Joey not expecting the shove stumbled and fell flat on his ass, people who had gathered laughed at Grant this did no sit well with him. He got up and threw a punch at Jane splitting her lip not satisfied her threw another punch.
"C'mon Rizzoli fight back." Grant said realising Jane wasn't fighting back.
"I'm not gunna fight with you Grant cos it's a waste of my time and if that makes me a freak then so be it but if I'm a freak then that makes you a coward since you'd rather fight with me then any of the boys in school." Jane said.
People who had gathered round to watch the fight are moved by Jane's words leaving some people in tears and others in shock. Joey not liking the way things are going pushed Jane telling her to fight back but she just stands there and takes it. Grant tackles her to the ground and is about to punch her when two of Grants team mates grab him and pull him off her.
"Get off me." Grant shouts as he is pulled away.
"Lay of Grant she ain't done no wrong." One of the boys said.
"She has a point you never seem to start fights with any lads." The other piped in.
Grant pulled away from his team mates and walked off, one of the boys helped Jane up and asked.
"You okay?"
"I'm good." Jane says as she walks to her car.
When Maura hears what went on she went straight to Jane's house to check on her, when Jane answered the door she looked worse than she did yesterday. Jane let Maura in and they walked into the living room.
"I heard what happened today at school, I wanted to check that you're okay." Maura said as she sat down on the sofa next to Jane.
"I'm fine Grant's not got a strong punch." Jane said.
"Looks like it was strong enough to do some damage, will you let me have a look?" Maura questioned.
Jane just nodded and turned to face Maura, examining her face Maura couldn't believe how beautiful she really was. Knowing what that woman said to Jane infuriated her how could anybody think that Jane was anything other than beautiful.
"I heard you didn't fight back." Maura said as she started to clean Jane's face.
"There was no point in getting suspended for fighting when what Grant said was true." Jane said wincing as Maura cleaned her lip.
"Jane you should know you're very beautiful and you shouldn't let anyone tell you otherwise." Maura said as she looked into Jane's eyes and kept her hand on Jane's cheek.
Jane leaned in and kissed Maura gently not knowing what to do with her hand she decided to put them on Maura's waist. Maura didn't hesitate to kiss back after all kissing Jane was something she had thought about, getting lost in the kiss Maura leaned back on the sofa pulling Jane with her. Maura letting out a small moan jostled Jane back to reality, pulling away from Maura Jane stood up.
"Maura I'm so sorry, you probably don't want some freak kissing you." Jane said walking into the kitchen to get more booze.
"Your not a freak Jane and I do want to kiss you but we just can't I'm your teacher and your a minor I'm meant to protect you not take advantage of you." Maura explained following Jane.
"How would you be taking advantage of me if I initiated it and I'm not a minor." Jane said as she turned around to face Maura.
"Your not, how old are you?" Maura asked realising maybe there was still a chance for her and Jane.
"I'm 18 cos I was held back freshmen year and had to repeat, I'm legal if that's what your worried about?" Jane said as Maura smashed her lips into Jane's and moaned.
Jane shakily puts her hands on Maura's hips and back Maura up against the counter getting Maura's attention and pulling away. ' I'm still her teacher.' Maura thought as she realised she was about to break Jane's heart.
"I'm still you teacher I'm sorry Jane maybe in another life time we could have had more. I really am sorry because I think I can see you heartbreaking and i'm the cause, just know that had I not been your teacher I would have been really lucky if I had the chance to date you. You truly are amazing and beautiful don't let anyone tell you otherwise. I am truly am sorry." Maura said as she kissed Jane good bye on the cheek and left.
Jane stood there motionless in the kitchen Not knowing what she should do, she decided to grab a beer.
