Slayers Depart
Buffy: You don't care anymore is that it?
Faith: Of course I care. I love...
Buffy: Don't say it cause you don't mean it! You don't know what love is! Your so selfish! How could you do this to me after everything?
Faith: Buffy I,m not doing this to hurt you I just can't deal with us right now there's too much going on. Im sor...
Buffy: Shut up! I've heard enough excuses. I mean first you piss off to London then your in L.A. for months working with Angel then you come back here and expect to pick up were we left off and now your telling me its over. I mean what the hell is your problem?
Faith: B I love you. More then anything. I've never allowed myself to love anyone before...
Buffy: Save the sob story Faith I don't wanna hear it !
Faith: What do you want me do B? How can I make this better?
Faith cups Buffys face and leans in to kiss her. Buffy slaps her hard across the face. Tears stream down her face.
Buffy: I...you...I didn't mean to do that
Faith: You wanna play that game B? You wanna get violent? That's usually how we work things out! Come on baby.
Faith turns around and rubs herself against Buffy.
Faith: Kick my ass!
Buffy: Faith!
Faith: I mean we usually resolve our differences right I mean the last time we fought ended preety well right
Buffy: Your disgusting
Faith: Yeah but it made you scream didn't it
Buffy: Stop messing with my head Faith. You want me but you don't want a relationship is that it?
Faith: I don't know
Buffy: Well decide cause I've had enough I've done everything for you. I have given you all I can.
Faith: That's not exactly true is it ?
Buffy: What?
Faith: I mean you don't trust me you never have and you never will. While I was working with Angel you assumed I,d jumped into bed with him and as for me going to London I needed space a break from everything and when I came back here I wasn't exactly welcome with open arms. So B you wanted to know why we can't be together there is your answer!
Buffy: That's a load of bull !
Faith pushes Buffy against the kitchen worktop and leans in to her.
Faith: That's the truth B! I couldn't come straight back here when i left because things happened in L.A. Things you couldn't have handled.
Buffy: What things?
Faith: Its between me and Angel unlike you he helped me he didn't turn his back like you did.
Buffy: I had no choice Faith I couldn't deal with how you were acting and what you had done. What could have happened in L.A that you can't tell me? You want me to trust you more? Open up to me! Faith please. You owe me that much.
Faith: When I was in L.A with Angel some heavy shit went down and the only way around it was for me to become rogue again. I tried to control it but it got out of hand and there was an accident...
Faith began welling up and starting to walk away
Buffy: Faith? What did you do?
Faith: I killed...the...she...we...I.. Buffy she's dead because of me I killed her.
Faith fell to the floor and sobbed at Buffy,s knees. Buffy fought back her tears and looked down in shock at what Faith had just told her. She couldn't think what to say next or what to do. She sat on the floor and held the brunette slayer in her arms as she allowed herself to cry.
What seemed like hours had passed for the slayers until finally Buffy spoke.
Buffy: Faith. Look at me. I lost you once and im not allowing it to happen again. We can get through this baby.
Faith: B. I don't know who I am anymore. What I've become.
Buffy: What you were Faith. You said earlier it was an accident. We have been here before. We can get through this.
A sudden knock at the door startled both slayers. Buffy went to the door to find two cops waiting. They asked for Faith as they had come to question her. Buffy allowed them in and walked to the kitchen.
Buffy: Faith there's...
Faith had gone. Buffy looked at the now open back door and fell to her knees and sobbed. Faith had gone. Buffy knew she would never see her again... Or would she?
