Chapter 7:
The next days were the hardest; Faith's meeting with the scoopy was not that good and end up with her leaving to patrol before killing them. Joyce gave her the rest room with a permission to change anything she doesn't like. She started her study and found a job in a small restaurant.
In the other hand, as far as Faith living with her idea was scaring Joyce to death, it didn't take a few days for her to change her opinion. Faith was doing her best to show her how she changed. She was helping in the house and even some times she was helping her in the gallery. She wasn't afraid of Faith any more but she was afraid for her, she wanted her to talk about the past, about her feelings but she didn't want to push her.
Buffy was settling in the dorm and her visits to her mom were not constant, at first she was there almost every day to make sure that Faith didn't hurt her mom but after that she get bored of watching after Faith and accept the idea of Faith being back to there life. Also with her dating Riley, patrolling and studying there was no time for any games.
Willow was busy with her new girlfriend and Xander was busy with his jobs searching. They avoided meeting Faith as long as they can, although they could sense that she changed, especially from Giles attitude, they couldn't forgive her or trust her that much.
Giles was the most person who saw the change in Faith, she wasn't the same kid any more, she didn't came late for once, she report her patrol events for him and train with him, the only thing that didn't change is her avoiding the research, she makes all the lame excuses to run out of his house when he says the word research. But with his life experience he could sense that something was wrong with her, her eyes weren't shining like the first time he saw her, there was sadness and hurt, of course she tried hard to not show them but every time he looked at her when she isn't looking he see the sadness. He tried to make her open up to him but he couldn't, he knew that part of Faith doesn't trust him yet, he knew that she can feel that deep inside him she will always be his second choice after Buffy and he couldn't blame her.
