Faith's Angel

Okay let's see here. Joss owns all this stuff, I'm only responsible for the story.

Pairing:Faith/Angel

Please I love reviews.

There was a knock on his front door. He opened his eyes and looked at the clock, 3:00am. While heading to the door, he grabbed his shirt and threw it on. He opened the door without caution, already knowing who it was. He was right, for when he opened the door a bruised and broken Faith stand there holding her arms across her chest. Without question, Angel ushered the girl inside. He directed Faith to the bed, without words. While Faith sat on the edge of the bed, Angel went to get his first aid kit, he always kept one because he knew it would get used often. He walked over to where Faith sat on the bed. He knew what to do, this had happened on many occasions before. They usually kept quiet while he tended to her wounds but this time he couldn't keep quiet. He couldn't just let some jerk hurt her like that. He decided to make her realize that 'He' wasn't good enough for her.

"He did this to you again, didn't he?" He wasn't really asking he already knew the answer.

Faith looked up at him in a very un-Faith-like manner; scared. She looked deep into his eyes and shook her head 'yes'. He could have completely snapped but, he didn't, not in front of her. He could beat 'Him' to a bloody pulp later.

"Faith," He started but she interrupted.

"Angel, please he….he didn't know what he was d-doing. Spike loves me, he just gets out of h-hand sometimes." She stuttered, which Angel never heard her do, unless it was a night like this. He had to show her that Spike was…is no good. 'She needs better.' He thought.

"Faith, if he hasn't changed by now, do you really think he's going to change?" He asked her. Faith hung her head down, knowing the answer. Angel could see he was getting through to her. "Spike won't ever change. I'm sorry. I really am but, you deserve so much more than him."

"No Angel, I don't." She blurted out. Angel looked at her surprised.

"What are you talking about?" He wanted to know.

"He's the only one that has ever loved me." She said sadly.

"That's not true. I…there are plenty of people that love you and care for you." He carefully said with his words, not to give anything away. Faith looked at him disbelievingly. "Faith, do you love him?"

"No." She said in a quiet voice. "I love somebody else but, he could never have the feelings for me that I have for him." She explained.

"Well, then he's a jerk. Faith, if you don't love Spike, you shouldn't lead him on. Anyway, you NEED to get away from him if he does this to you. Seriously Faith, how can somebody love you if they do this to you?" He asked.

"I'm sorry. I'm so sorry." She said while she started to fall apart. She leaned forward and rested her head on Angel's shoulder and started to sob.

"Shhh. It's okay. It's not your fault. It's not." He maneuvered her so they were looking into each others eyes. "You need to know you are a very special person. Faith he's not the only one that loves you." He said while he wiped away her tears, which had stopped falling. He didn't want her to go but, if that was what she wanted, he would support her on anything. "The point is; you go where you want to go. Wherever that is I'll support you all the way, even if you choose to stay with Spike. I'm just saying, I can't see you get hurt anymore. So, at night you can't come here anymore when Spike hits you." This was hurting him so much but, he couldn't watch it anymore. He'd always be there for her, just not as the 'doctor' she goes to when Spike hurts her. "Where do you want to go?" He asked her. She looked like she was trying to find the courage to say something.

"Angel…" She tried to start. "Angel, I am where I want to be." She finally said while she looked him in the eyes.

"Okay, if you want Spike go get him." Angel tried to cover up his hurt. Faith had a face of confusion which turned into realization.

"What? Oh no. That's not what I meant." Angel looked at her curiously. "I mean, I'm where I want to because…." She paused trying to find her courage once again, "Because I'm with you." She blurted out. Angel was now confused. Was he getting his wish?

"What?" He questioned.

"Angel, I'm in love with YOU. Only you. You're the other guy. I know you can never feel the same way but that's how I feel. She explained.

"You love me?" Why couldn't he stop asking questions? Faith had just told him she loved him and she THINKS he can never love her back.

Faith nodded looking scared and regretful. "I'm sorry. I…I should go." She said getting off of the bed, starting to move passed him. He jumped up from his resting spot on the ground and grabbed her wrist. She stopped and looked down at his hand and the she turned her gaze to his eyes. They locked eyes and he pulled her close. They closed the gap between them with a passionate kiss.

As the pulled away he said, "I love you. I've always loved you." She looked him in the eyes and could tell it was the truth. She laid her head on his chest. He wrapped his arms around her and led them to the bed. He laid her down and climbed under the covers as well. As she cuddled into him, he wrapped his arms around her protectively. That's how they stayed the whole night, just comforting each other with each other's presence. As the two fell asleep, a drunken Spike peered in from the window. Upon seeing the two, he stated, "I'll kill you both. If it's the last thing I do." With that he walked into the darkness.

I'm not all good with the sappy stuff. So, yeah. Let me know if I should continue this or not. Please review.
