Far Away

Chapter 6

JANE'S POV

My eyes fluttered open. I was somewhere I didn't know. I looked around. I was in hospital. Maura curled up next to me on the bed asleep. I remembered what had happened. All I remembered was the relief. Maura must have been scared. I hope my family doesn't know I'm here. My leg hurt, I moved to try and ease my discomfort. Maura stirred and sat up.

"Oh my gosh Jane I was so scared, I can't believe you did that. I love you so much please don't leave me. I can't handle life without you."

She blurted it out so fast. I wasn't expecting that to happen.

"You love me?"

I repeated

"Of course, I love you. You have supported me for so long."

"Oh, so you're not in love with me"

Her face showed a blank expression, I think she was just shocked by what I said. I had no idea what she was thinking.

"So, uh does Ma know I'm here?"

"No, I told everyone we are going away for the weekend and you left your cell at home."

"Thank you Maur"

"Jane, can I ask you something"

"Of course, you can Maura"

Then at that moment the Doctor walked in to the room.

"Detective, good to see you're awake. Now I understand what happened might be traumatic for you. But I will tell you this, you are not alone. We will give you a referral for a psychiatrist. Hopefully you'll stay with us for a long time to come."

"I'm good thanks Doc I don't need to see a shrink"

"Detective you came here because you hurt yourself, you need to see someone so this doesn't happen again."

"Jane Rizzoli, I cannot lose you. It just can't happen. I will make sure you see the shrink"

"Detective your girlfriend is right. Now I am happy to discharge you knowing that she will take care of you. You have stitches in some of your wounds. Please be careful, no running or physical activity for the next two weeks. You will need to stay in a wheelchair for a week, just so you don't tear your stitches. I will provide a medical certificate with your discharge papers. Usually I would e-mail it off your employer, but I understand you would like this dealt with discreetly. If you have any concerns come back in to the ER but with you Maura you should be fine. Take care of yourself detective, we need you back out on the streets looking after us."

As he walked out of the room he said one more thing

"Invite me to the wedding ladies"

I am in absolute shock. I pretend like he didn't just say that because I don't want to make things weirder than they probably already are.

"Alright Maur let's go"

"Jane be careful, you have stitches in your leg"

"Yes, I know"

"We have to go to my place"

"Why, I like my home. Plus, I need to be alone"

"Janie, you have blood all through your apartment and you can't be alone now you will be coming home with me. Anyway you have to stay in this wheelchair for the week. You can't take care of yourself in it. End of story, don't even try to argue. Now let's head back to my place."

"Ok"

I said quietly. I don't know if I'm going to be able to do it. Stay at her place. She won't let me leave until I'm better. But I can't bear to sleep next to her. All I want is to kiss her, how can I do this. I guess like always I will bite my tongue and try to act like I am totally fine. I cannot begin to describe how difficult this is for me.
