Title: "She Will Be Loved"

Author: Lori

Prologue

She stared blankly onto the desk. Her eyes went wide as her thoughts flowed through her mind. 'They don't know who I am', she thought. Her life seemed so perfect, she made it seem as if there was not a dark side to her. 'They just don't know me,'

"Buffy?"

Buffy broke out of her thoughts as her eyes went up slowly as she looked at the brunette secretary.

She gave a questionably raised eyebrow. "Eh?"

The secretary gave a smirk. "Dr. Mitchell is ready to see you,"

Buffy grabbed her purse as she walked slowly towards the door. She turned her head to the side a little as she took a glimpse at the secretary. She smiled. "Thanks," She walked into the door as the secretary narrowed her eyebrows

Buffy began to play with her fingers as Dr. Mitchell cocked her head to the side and watched her.

"Now Buffy," Dr. Mitchell leaned forward onto her desk as she parted her lips. . Buffy lifted her head in attention and straightens herself up.

"I want to know why did you check yourself into here," Dr. Mitchell got out from her chair and walked towards to the front of her desk and sat on the desk facing Buffy. "There seems to be nothing wrong with you,"

Buffy lowered her head and spoke smoothly and quietly. "But there are some things you don't know about me Dr. Mitchell," She rose her head looking deep into Dr. Mitchell's eyes. "I'm not as perfect as you think,"

Dr. Mitchell titled her head to the side and caught Buffy's eyes well up near to tears. Dr. Mitchell closed her eyes and took a deep breath and opened her eyes again. "Buffy, what are you looking for in life?"

Buffy leaned back in her chair and looked up into the ceiling. "Depends on what you mean by that," Buffy said as she took a deep sigh as she tapped her foot rapidly.

"What I mean by that is," She lowered her head down and she looked at Buffy. "What in this world do you want the most,"

Buffy stopped tapping her foot. She blinked as she pursed her lips. "What do I want the most in this world?" She looked at the ceiling and narrowed her eyebrows. Buffy had never been asked that question before. She held onto her hands and took a deep sigh as she closed her eyes. Then she said, "Just..." She opened her eyes. "To be loved,"
