Chapter 2:

We arrive at the hospital after what seems like forever. They rush her in and something must have gone wrong because the doctors face goes white as a ghost and all I see is them wheeling Jane away from me, and it could possibly be the last time I ever see Jane again

MAURA POV:

As I sit in the waiting room, I have so many questions. Who are they? Who sent them? Why would Jane give herself as hostage for me? Who is behind this? Why did they do all this damage?

My body has finally given out I start balling my eyes out. That is when I hear Angela Rizzoli, "WHERE THE HELL IS MY DAUGHTER?"

She comes in and sees me in the chair with tears streaming down my face. She sits down and asks me, "Have I come too late?"

"NO GOD NO, she is just in surgery. Angela I…"

"I know Maura. She knows that as well, that is why she did what she did. She loves you Maura. Now we just need her to fight so you can tell her and not me."

"I need her Angela, without her I am nothing. I never thought I would be this way about someone but when I met Jane that all changed. I feel like we belong together, every time I thought I loved someone I now realized I was just in love with being in love."

"Hopefully we will have answers soon because God knows we all need them."

A doctor comes out and asks for, "Relatives of Jane Rizzoli."

"I am her mother." Angela stands up and walks to the doctor. I can't help but to start to cry because I feel like this is the beginning of the end for Jane and I, and it hasn't even started. The hope I held for Jane to make it could shatter at this very moment. Luckily when I didn't see Angela break down in tears it means that she is fighting for her family, her coworkers, and hopefully for me.

"She is still in surgery. It hit her liver so they are trying to repair it. He said the 24 hours after she gets out of surgery will be the true telling of what to do because there is only so much they can do without observing her over a period of time."

"But she is still alive right now?" My small voice breaks the silence because I need reassurance about Jane.

"Yes Maura she is. She will fight for us."

"I sure hope so."

After what seems like eternity the same doctor comes out to tell us that Jane will be put in a room and for visitors it is only two at a time. When she gets into a room and a nurse comes to escort the two, Frankie asks me if I would like to go with Angela. I tell him that he should go, that I plan to be here when she wakes up so I will go last after everyone that plans to leave. After Frankie takes Angela home and everyone else leaves I sit by Jane side and I just talk to her.

"Jane I don't know if you can hear me right now but I want to say thank you for saving me but I wish it didn't put us in this position." As I hear the beeping and the monitors reassuring me that she is still alive I get comfortable in this chair and start to fall asleep.

JANE POV:

This is what she is dreaming:

I am laying in a messy bed. I wonder what I am doing here. There is nothing else in this room but this dirty bed. I have heard of people saying that when you dream of beds it is significant. If you dream of laying in a clean bed then it goes along with the saying, "Life is a bed of roses." but if you dream of a dirty bed then it goes with the saying, "You made your bed now lie in it." So I guess that I what I am doing now, lying in the bed that I have made for myself. I lay here and I feel this throbbing pain in my abdomen when I lift up my shirt I see that I have a GSW and I piece it all together. The bed I am lying in has to do with the guilt I will feel when I see all of them again….if I see anything of them again. It has to do with Maura and the fact that she is probably worried sick that I am going to die. I don't want her to suffer because of me. I see a bright light and it looks so appealing I don't know what to do.

MAURA POV:

The beeping went up and then doctors came rushing in. Something is happening. They tell me to leave the room and so many thoughts are running through my mind. When I hear the beeping slow down I realize that the doctors have it under control. I feel so relieved.

JANE POV:

One minute I saw the bright light but then it went away and all that was left was the image of Maura in my head telling me I have to fight, for her. I won't leave her alone in this big bad world without me.

MAURA POV:

When they finally allow me back in the room I sit in the same chair but no matter how tired I was getting I won't allow myself to go back to sleep. Not with her in this critical of condition.

Nothing seems right here. I look at the clock and it reads 2:43am and I just scoff. I walk over to the window sill and look out at Boston. My mind trickles down into a sea of negative thoughts. How many more are going to die? Why can't we all just get along?
