The reason behind it is you

Jane showing Jane who's boss

"Petra has been crying for days now and I don't know how to comfort her anymore, because JR's point of view is understandable and so is Petra's and she sees it that way too. She was going to propose to her, JR has no idea what good kind of relationship she just let down. JR should know what she missed out on and what the result of her breaking up with Petra is." Jane rants to her mom.

"So call her and tell her. They had baggage, but which relationship doesn't. She had no reason to just give up on Petra right after starting to put in work, nevermind the effort Petra was putting in. She needs to have her mind cleansed and that will only work with some honesty butt kicking, show her who is boss Jane." Xo advices Jane.

"You are right mom. Petra is like my sister, I will stand up to her. I mean it's not like I have anything to lose JR doesn't like me that much anyway." Jane says confident before leaving.

Jane drives home to check on Petra and to make sure she will be semi okay with Jane talking to JR.

"Hey Petra how are you doing?" Jane walks in.

"Oh I'm great, thanks!" Petra says through her sobs.

"Oh Petra stop looking at pictures of her. Have you been texting her?!" Jane notices Petra's screen.

"I wanted to but I don't think I'm ready for the silence or cold response." Petra closes her phone.

"Whilst we are at it. I need to talk to JR I hope you are okay with it and even if you would say no I would probably do it anyway because I can't see you this heartbroken anymore. I need some clarity and I think you need it too and that's what I want to get out of talking to her." Jane tries to read Petra's face.

"Okay." Petra dries her tears.

"Okay? Just like that?" Jane looks surprised.

"I have nothing to lose Jane. Do whatever you want, but you will have to tell me afterwards what the conversation was about and how it went! ...maybe. I don't know if I want to know, yet." Petra tries to smile at Jane.

"Thank you and yes of course." Jane squeezes Petra's hand and then heads outside into her only private place, her car and dials JR's number.

JR: Hello who is this?

Jane: Hi this is Jane Villanueva, I need to talk to you don't hang up.

JR: Is everything okay?

Jane: Well I don't think you could call all this okay but yes I guess. I need to talk to you about the break up. 

JR: I made my decision, it wasn't easy. I really don't want to talk about it.

Jane: Fine don't talk then, hear me out instead.

JR: *sighs* Go ahead.

Jane: Every relationship has baggage my parent's, my grandparent's, Raphael and mine and so did yours. Some baggage is heavier than others but that is never a reason for a relationship to fail unless one of the parties gives up, which you did with Petra. Petra busted her ass for you since you two got back together and put in more work than you ever did and that is the reward for what she did for you?? You just bonded with the girls why leave now? I don't get it JR I really don't. I know you are a very confident, strong and proud woman but this makes no sense coming from you. Petra made a big mistake yes but you weren't that innocent either and your carreer failing is mostly on you let's be real. The evening you broke up with her she came home to me and cried and hasn't stopped since. She doesn't eat, she doesn't dress up like her fancy self and can't even watch her own kids for an hour without breaking out crying, just because you gave up on her, on you two. You have no idea what you could have had that night... I know you love her and I get your reasoning, but not at this point and progress stage of your relationship. She was ready to show you how much she loves you and you just destroyed her. I would love to say get her back and make her and yourself happy again, but I don't know if I can trust you that you won't break her heart again.

JR: *Sniffles* Look... I just had to start over... I have to.... Okay, you know what you are right and this is isn't easy for me admit since it's you. Yes, I gave up and trust me I have been doing nothing but crying since then either. I regret my decision deeply but I know I can't go back from that. I was stupid I shouldn't have given up like that but at that moment it just felt so easy and good to get up and leave and become a new person in another state, but I was wrong. Everyone here has done their research and knows what happend in Florida and when people ask me to tell them why I moved here I can't help but want to pack my stuff back up, come back and go back to how it used to be with all the struggles, just turn back in time. Now it's too late I did what I did and as you said, I don't think she will trust me either... also what did you mean by she was ready to show me how much she loves me?

Jane: JR you have to make up your mind you can't play with her like that, you are a grown woman either you are sure about loving Petra and being with her or you move on and get over yourself. I am not watching you break Petra's heart again that's all I'm gonna say about it, if you get her back or never see her again is not my business, but if you hurt her again like this I will hunt you down. And I don't think you want to know what I meant with that, maybe ask Petra herself.

JR: I'm sorry, really. I will figure it out. I can't imagine Petra crying like that or maybe I don't want to imagine it because I'm the reason she is hurt... Just tell me don't play games with me, she is not going to talk to me you know her.

Jane: She was going to propose that night and I wouldn't be so sure about the talking part. I really need to get going now and check up on her.

JR: WAIT...what..What?... she was going to propose, really? 

Jane: Yes, you have no idea how hard it was watching her bring that ring back to the store. I really gotta go now though she is not in a good place and you should give yourself a break too, take care of yourself I can hear you have been and are crying a lot as well.

JR: *sobs silently* I'm so sorry, please tell her that and that I miss her, so much. Please take good care of her until I am able to again.

Jane: I am taking good care of her and you should tell her that yourself that's not my place.

Jane hangs up and takes a few deep breaths, that was a lot even for Jane with a mother like Xo. Jane goes back inside to find Petra peacefully sleeping after having cried way too much again with her chat open on JR's contact.

"Oh Petra..." Jane puts a blanket over Petra and strokes her cheek.

Well I have never been this heartbroken and frustated by an on screen break up like this one, felt like JR cut a piece out of my heart as well. Hope you enjoy this little something.
