Chapter one :

Broken promise :

That morning Dr Maura Isles woke up in her suite at the Plaza in New-York still wearing the expensive Gucci dress she had wore the previous . Sitting up in bed looking at her left hand she immediately saw the gorgeous engagement ring Jane had gotten a few months back. Trying to open her eyes, feeling her head pounding she was trying to remember last night's events. She remembered checking in the previous morning for the annual Medical Examiner convention. She also remembered arguing with Jane just before leaving Boston. Jane had accused her of only going to New-York to meet an old flame she had hooked up with in medical school who was supposed to speak during the convention.

Trying to get out of bed, unable to stand on her felt Maura suddenly started to have flashbacks of last night's events . She could clearly see herself having dinner with her friend, Dr Hayes and then him escorting her back to her room and kissing her in front of the door of her suite but what she remembered most clearly was that she didn't even try to deny him that kiss.

"Oh my God what have I done?" Maura said to herself rubbing her mouth trying to get rid of the taste of that man on her lips.

Looking down Maura noticed she was still wearing her clothes meaning that obviously nothing had happened other than that kiss. After taking a 15 minutes cold shower Maura ordered breakfast including some black coffee, with no sugar. Sitting on the velvet chair in the middle of her suite her legs lifted up against her chest, her coffee in her hand Maura was trying to make sense of what had happened. As the effect of the alcohol was fading away Maura's memories of last night's event became clearer. She remembered spending the day being mad at Jane for not trusting her and accepting Dr Hayes' dinner invitation just to spite her. She remembered spending the entire dinner talking about Jane, about how hurt she was she didn't trust her even now that they were engaged.

After several years of being friends and after a year of dating Jane had finally decided to pop the question after cooking Maura's meal and making love to her for two straight hours as they were laying in bed naked, she finally asked her to marry her. Looking down at her beautiful ring Maura remembered crying more than she ever did when Jane popped the question and being overwhelmed by a feeling of accomplishment and pride. After years of waiting for Jane to finally admit her feeling and taking their time to determine what they wanted and how they wanted things to work Maura had finally what she always dreamed about : a ring on her finger, symbol of their unconditional love and trust.

At least that was in theory because Jane obviously didn't trust her to meet an old friend. Maura and Jane had been best friends for years before they started dating so obviously Maura had no secrets for her and she used to tell her everything about her dating life hoping that it would awake her jealousy and feeling of ownership over her and make her realize that she couldn't fight her feeling anymore . The only problem with Maura's honesty was that Jane sometimes perceived her as very promiscuous and even if she trusted her she was sometimes afraid of not being enough which lead her to be insecure and jealous beyond reason.

After arguing with her, tired of reaffirming her love and loyalty Maura had finally left for New-York unwilling to go through this again.

Sitting in that chair reliving last night events over and over in her head Maura started to ask herself if Jane wasn't right after all. She had allowed that man to kiss her and even if she strongly turned him down when he tried to get into her room she found herself tempted for one second to let him in.

Feelings the tears streaming down herself Maura was trying to understand why she even let that man kiss and why she had found herself tempted to take things further. The fact that Jane had seriously pissed her off crossing a line with her insecurities wasn't a good justification to explain her behavior.

Thinking about it Maura had everything she had always dreamed about. After years of secretly being in love with Jane she was finally going to marry her and start a family with her, so why would she compromise that?

Torturing herself over this Maura knew it wasn't about sex because Jane was satisfying her in more ways than any men ever did before, so she obviously didn't miss men, sexually or even emotionally.

A few hours later Maura decided to shorten her trip and fly back to Boston. Driving towards their house Maura was trying to find the most appropriate way to tell Jane about what happened. She knew that she couldn't lie to her and that lying would probably destroy their relationship anyway.

Taking a deep breath as she stepped into the house Maura was anxious to talk to Jane and was hoping to have a few more hours before confronting her.

"Maura, you're home already?" Jane said as Maura stepped into the living room her suitcase in her hand.

"Yes, this convention is always so boring so I decided to fly back early, but what are you doing here in the middle of the day?I didn't see your car?" Trying not to panic as she saw Jane walking towards her Maura felt so overwhelmed and incapable of holding it inside nay longer.

"I had a bit of an accident at work so it's at the garage, Frost drove me home." Jane explained stumbling towards her.

"Oh God you're stumbling are you alright?"

"Yes, how about you, still mad at me?"

"Of course not, I'm sorry too, I shouldn't have left before settling this once and for all. I love you." Maura said resting her head on Jane's chest her arms strong wrapped around her.

"Oh sweetheart don't be sad, you didn't do anything wrong, you were right to walk away, when I'm like this there is no way to talk some sense into me. You did the right thing."

"No I didn't Jane, oh I'm so sorry…I don't know why I did it, please forgive me." Maura begged bursting into tears.

"What are you talking about?"Jane frowned her hand on Maura's cheek trying to make her look up at her.

"I…something happened with Dr Hayes. I'm so sorry I don't why I did it, you have to believe me."Her hand on Jane chest crying looking at her with the most excruciating pain in her eyes Maura immediately saw the horror in her girlfriend's eyes.

"You slept with him?" Jane asked pushing Maura away, horror and disgust in her eyes.

"No. We had dinner last night and he escorted me to my room and he tried to kiss me…"Maura explained trying to reach out to Jane.

"And you let him?"

"I did yes, but I turned him down when he tried to get into my room. I promise nothing else happened, you have to believe me." Maura professed looking at her desperately trying to show her how sincere she was.

"Where you tempted to let him in?" Feeling her face turning red and the blood racing in her veins Jane had to fight hard not to just storm out their house.

"For a split second, but I didn't, you're the only one I want to be with, you know that right?"Reaching out to Jane once again, desperate to establish physical contact Maura, for the first time in her life started to regret not being able to lie.

"No I don't, not anymore, get your hands off me." Jane said pushing Maura away. Turning her back on Maura Jane closed her eyes, trying to keep herself from exploding both physically and vocally at her fiance but all she could think about was her future was kissing him and considering sleeping with that jerk. She felt betrayed more than ever felt before and ever thought she would especially by Maura.

"Can we please talk about this?"

"What is there to say Maura?You betrayed me, you betrayed my trust. God I can't even look at you right now." Walking towards the door Jane was determined to end things right here right now without looking back.

"Don't walk away for me!" Maura shouted desperately trying to keep Jane from leaving.

"Why?You did!You went to New-York and did exactly what I was scared you would do. I can' t believe you had the nerve to be mad at me for not trusting you!"

"How many time do I have to apologize?I made a mistake let me fix it."

"I'm the one who made a mistake when I asked you to marry me. We're done."Pulling her engagement off throwing it on the coffee table Jane walked towards the door and left leaving Maura standing in the middle of their living room.

Standing there Maura found herself unable to move, to follow Jane and beg her to forgive her. Looking down at the ring she had gotten Jane Maura suddenly bursted into tears and violently fell on the floor. A few days ago she had everything she had ever dreamed about and she now she had nothing. She had hurt the one person on her who loved and supported her unconditionally and who she knew could forgive her almost anything. Maura and Jane argued a lot, it was part of their dynamic, they argued about work, about their families, about Maura's spending habits or hobbies but they always made out. Jane was very impulsive and never hesitated to storm out off a room after an argument, mostly to avoid further anger to come out but she always came back. No matter how hard they argued how mad she was with Maura, Jane always came back acknowledging and apologizing when she was wrong and allowing Maura to do the same when she was right. This time it was different though, Maura had betrayed her. Not only she had kissed another man but she had also been tempted to sleep with him and she knew that was the kind of thing Jane would never forgive. She could forgive a lot of thing, God she had forgiven her for flirting with Tommy and for not telling him that the FBI was about to arresting him but this was different. By cheating on Jane Maura had broken Jane's heart and she didn't know if she would ever be able to to fix it, to fix them. Yes over the past years Maura and Jane had went through a lot but the thing they could always count on and who always saved them was the trust and unconditional loyalty they had for each other : it had saved them when Ian showed up or when Tommy had made a move on Maura and she had to make a choice, or when other men or criminals tried to break them up. Unfortunately for the first time since they met Maura felt they had lost the two things that always kept them together and didn't how to get them back or if it was even possible and it scared her to death.

So guys, I have had this story in mind for months but had other stories to take care off. At first I wanted Jane to cheat on Maura or almost cheat but I figured she's always the one screwing up so for a change Maura could screw up.
Infidelity is a subject I never wrote about so I'm sure you won't be bored by this story, lots of anger and resentment coming!

So guys do not worry i will try to get organizd better and not neglect my other stories, I promise I can do the 3 of them at the same time!Thanks for the loyalty.

As always this is a new story so it's up to you to decide if I should continue or now!
