Summary Of Chapter: Buffy is checking on everyone. She checks on Faith, forgetting to hate her, actually forgetting about everything but her.
I need you,
more than you'll ever know.
I still do,
and i'm willing to let it show.
The pieces are finally fitting together in such perfect harmony.
You're finally figuring out why.
She was turning your life completely upside down, you never thought you could hate someone so much.
Now you understand why.
You were confused, caught in the middle.
Anger was so much easier, especially when you had him to pillow your fall.
You were being selfish.
You forgot to walk in her shoes.
You didn't grasp the situation from her point of view. You didn't even try to reach for it.
She came back, but the timing was wrong, yet again.
You had another him to fall back on, although you felt something click.
You just didn't have time to study that click.
Now you're being selfish again.
You forgot to knock.
And he's gone, and you're finally noticing her.
She slammed you against the wall, just because you woke her up.
Her hands are tightening painfully again, but this time they're not around your neck.
But you're positive she saw that flash of passion in your eyes.
Just as you were about to scream, and use all your power possible to make sure she lands in the opposite wall, she wraps her hands around your collar and you forget to take your own easy way out, the anger way, as your impossibly close to her.
You're seeing her in a new light and you decide to finally study that click.
But right now your left without any studying time, but you know your passing the test when her tongue finds it's way into your mouth.
You realize it was all common knowledge.
