Willow walked into Buffy's bedroom. "Buffy? I brought you some dinner." Willow slowly opened the door to her best friends room.
Buffy was no where to be found. There was a note on her bed.
~ Willow, Xander and Giles
I had to leave. I can't stay any longer. I need to go and clear my mind. I need to reflect and decide on what I'm going to do now. I'll be back soon. I'll call you once I get a chance to. I don't know where I'm going yet, but I'll be fine.
I really want to thank you all for all your support and love over the years and how much you have all been there for me. I really appreciate it. I just need to do this on my own. I didn't do this in person because I knew if I did I wouldn't leave and I really need to. Sorry I had to do it this way but you know I'm a coward. Good bye and I love you all.
Love Always
Buffy
Willow put the note down and began sobbing. The door opened to reveal Xander and Giles.
"Will? Where's the Buffster?", Xander asked as he and Giles entered the room.
Willow looked up, eyes filled with tears. Xander and Giles moved closer to Willow. She held up the note and Giles read it then handed it to Xander. After Xander read the note he asked. "What do we do now?"
"We keep the hellmouth safe until she comes back." Giles said looking at the two young people that had been so close and helpful to his slayer.
