Disclaimer: So again I apologize for offending people, I feel like it's necessary I do that again, and I still stand by my rating. I also apologize for the delay, and for the incubate versus intubate. That was a typo, I do know the difference between the two, and I know we aren't suppose to have those either, but I have a Mac and I'm grammar check-less. It's probably a miracle that I haven't made more mistakes than I have considering how I'm only in high school, but alas I am human and I do make mistakes. So sorry about that. I'm also very sorry it has taken me so long to update!

JPOV:

It hadn't taken more then about two minutes in my apartment for Maura to beg for me to let her shower now. I obliged and spent the two hours she was in there making coffee and straightening up. trying to figure out what was the right thing to say to her. Not the right thing for the cop part of me to say, but for the woman who was an ass to her girlfriend part of me to say. I knew that Maura was extremely delicate and that this wouldn't help at all. I also knew that more likely than not that sympathy would only either anger her or make her feel worse then she already did. We were in that boat together though. I still couldn't help but wonder if any of this would've happened if we hadn't fought earlier. Wondered if they would've left her alone if I hadn't been such an ass and just turned around and apologized. But instead I walked away. I walked away from the most important thing in my life, and now I knew that the odds of her forgiving me were slim to nothing. Mostly nothing. I was snapped out of my thoughts at the sound of the bathroom door quietly opening.

I turned to face Maura, but my heart broke when I looked at her. Her normally straight posture was still nonexistent, and now that she had bathed she looked even more haggled then before. I could see some of the small cuts that were on her arms and legs that weren't hidden by my shorts and Boston PD shirt. I knew at that moment that nothing I could say would make her feel any better so I went with my gut. I kept my mouth shut and held my arms out.

A sobbed escaped her as she ran into my embrace. I hugged her gently as she sobbed and it was the second time she clung to me like her life and sanity depended on it. I stood there before scooping her up and walking to the couch. I sat down and settled her in my arms and on my lap, and I held her. I don't know how long we must have been there with her sobbing and me just holding her but eventually she calmed down enough that her tears were mostly just hiccups. She pulled away far enough to look up at me as the tears still ran down her cheeks. I could feel tears of my own building at the sight of her so broken, but I fought them and gently moved her hair out of her eyes before wiping away her tears.

"J-Jane... I... I.." she tried to start speaking but I shushed her.

"You don't have to talk about this right now. We can wait. It can wait." I said as I wiped away more tears.

"No." she said shaking her head. "It has to be now. If it isn't I'll talk myself out of it."

"O-ok. I'll call Korsak..." I started but she shook her head furiously.

"No. I can't I need... I need it to be you..." she said closing her eyes.

"I can... I can do that. We can do that. Just tell me what happened. I'll write it down, and you can sign it. And then I'll... I'll give it to Korsak so he can work the case... Ok?" I asked slowly. She nodded and I started to move away from her but her grew wide and her grip on me tightened.

"Hey, hey, I'm just going to get a notepad and a pen. I promise I'll be write back. It's on the counter from where I made a grocery list. Look it's right there, I'm not even leaving the room." I said hugging her. She slowly let go of me and as I walked to my kitchen her eyes never left me. I walked back slowly and sat next to her with the notepad and pen in my hands. "Ok... take all the time you need. I'm right here."

"I... I was home alone, wh..which you knew. I went inside, and... and showered. And put on my pajamas... I was eating a snack... and watching CSI: Miami. It was like.. t-twenty minutes into the sh-show and I thought I h-heard something. S-so I went into my kitchen to ch-check, and there was a man in it. I-I screamed and r-ran upstairs. I locked my bedroom door and moved, but he... he kicked it down... He grabbed me and I sc... I screamed. I fought... I t-tried but he was... he was strong... he just laughed and k-kept going... then when he was leaving he said... he said.." she started hyperventilating on the last part.

"Maura what did he say?" I asked slowly.

"He said he'd be back..." she said sobbing again.

"Shhh. You're safe now. I won't let him touch you. I promise." I said pulling her back into my lap. I don't know how long we sat like that before my phone started ringing. I silently cursed under my breath before answering.

"Rizzoli... Yeah I got it. I can't... yeah ten minutes is fine... alright bye." I sighed before turning to Maura. "Korsak is coming to get your statement..." said hesitantly.

"And?" she asked. "You're hiding something."

"He wants to check on you Maur... they're all worried about you.." I said slowly.

She sighed and reached for the notepad. I handed it to her and watched as she bit her lip and read through it. She signed it and tossed it on the coffee table. "I don't know what to do..." she whispered.

"What do you mean?" I ask confused.

"I want to stop. I want to apologize for our fight earlier, and I need this to stop. I don't want to be like this anymore. I want to be me again. I don't want to be frail and broken. I want it to stop. Now." she said as she gets up.

"Hey where are you going?" I ask.

"To get a cup of coffee. You want one?" she says walking off.

"Sure..." I reply as someone knocks on the door. I grab my gun and move behind the door looking through the peep hole. I sigh as I open the door for Korsak.

"Gah Vince. Scare the crap outta me why don't ya?" I say as he enters my apartment.

Maura chose to walk out of the kitchen then. She handed me my coffee and took a drink of hers.

"Hey Maura... how... how are you?" he asked slowly. She sighed and looked up.

"I'd be a lot better if people would stop asking me that. And if they would just catch the man who did this so I could go back to my house and check on Bass." Maura replied.

"You're worried about your turtle?" Korsak asked jokingly.

"Tortoise." me and Maura answered together.

"Wow you guys really are ok, you're already ganging up together to correct me." he said with a laugh. Me and Maura looked at each before we both joined him with our laughter. I don't really know what it was, maybe the stress of everything was finally getting to us, but once we started we couldn't stop. Everyone even Maura was laughing so hard they were crying. But before long Maura's tears of laughter turned into sobs...

A/N: So not the best cliff hanger in the world, but it is one. And sorry for the delay in my post but here you go folks! Now please review.
