Buffy had been walking back and forth outside of Faith's motel room for the past thirty minutes, before she finally worked up the courage to knock. "Faith, I know you're ni there. I really need to talk to you." She heared the door unlock and watched it slowly open before her eyes.
It was dark, her heart was beating fast.
Buffy
had always known how to hold back her emotions. She knew better than
to share a secret. To let somebody in, to open up your heart, it's
too painful.
If you know you're going to end up hurt, which
always seemed to be happening to her.
She walked inside.
"Faith?" There was no answer. Buffy took a seat on the bed.
"You
looking for someone?" Buffy turned to face Faith. "Actually yes,
you." The brunette sat down beside the petite blonde.
"Hi."
They looked at each other for the longest time, truly explored each
others' eyes. "Hi." At that very moment Buffy had forgotten the
reason she had come to Faiths' in the first place. All she could
think about was her lips touching the rougue slayer's.
"What
do you want, B?" She knew. She could see right through her, but she
wanted Buffy to say it, otherwise it wouldn't be fun.
To her,
everything' a game.
"I came here because I need you to do
something for me."
Buffy could just imagine all the dirty things
that were flying around in Faith's head at the time.
"Okay,
I'm up for anything. What do you need me to do?" Buffy had never
been more scared in her entire life. Her secret was about to be
revealed.
"I need you, to be my release. No, I'm begging you
to be my escape from everything real."
Buffy saw in Faith's
eyes that she had't quite been expecting that. "Please Faith,
everybody in the whole world wants me to go where you are, where
you're at mentally."
Faith just shook her head. "I'm
sorry, B. I can't, it's just… no, I can't. You need to work
out your issues on your own."
buffy had been crushed. She was once and for all defeated and faith had defeated her. "okay, i will do that, thanks."
She got to her feet, ready to leave. "Wait, I didn't mean anything by it. It's just, it's your battle, you know. You need to overcome this shit that you're feeling right now and only you know how to do that, only you, B. Work it out, help yourself for once."
Tears were streaming down the blonde slayer's face. "I can't do it by myself, that's why I came to you. The real possibility of dying young, is like history repeating itself." She just smiled and walked towards the door. "You hurt me." Buffy turned the knob and stepped out, just in time to hear faith say "Back at you."
