Faith walked beside Buffy into the cemetery. Her and Buffy were sent out on patrol by Giles, while he spent some time with Raven getting her used to the area. The places to ask information, who to beat up for it, that kind of thing.
Faith had been thinking a lot lately. About a variety of things. Mainly about what Buffy was hiding from her. It had really been bugging her, and she'd been dying to ask. But she didn't want her sister to be mad at her so soon. After all, she did just return from the dead. And Buffy was the only one she could turn to to tell things, she had gone through the same thing.
Jeez Faith, just ask her you idiot, she thought. It's not like she's going to be mad. I mean, I'm the one who should be mad, right? She's the one hiding something from me. Ok, just go for it... Just ask... Since when have you had trouble being blunt and not beating around the bush?
"B?" Faith asked, turning to face her but still walking.
"Yeah?"
"Do you... You know... Have something you want to share? Cause I'm not afraid to beat it out of you if you leave me no other choice," Faith said. "Is it about Angel?"
"Um... I don't think I should be the one to..."
"So it is about Angel. Look, I don't know about you, but I'd rather hear it from someone then find out about it by seeing... Or something..."
Buffy nodded. "Ok. Well, you have to know that he loves you. And, and you were... Well you were dead. And, he- he didn't know that you'd come back... Faith, he had to move on... It was the only..."
"He has a girlfriend?" Faith asked, fighting away tears. "But he's going to leave her. Now that I'm back, he's leaving her..."
Buffy hesitated a minute, but put a reassuring smile on her face. "Yeah, of course he will. He loves you Faith, no other girl could ever come close to you."
"I am pretty hot," Faith said, smiling.
Faith walked into Giles apartment alone. Buffy had run off with Spike when they bumped into him in the cemetery. Faith didn't really mind though, she needed some time alone. Some time to think.
She'd changed since she'd come back. She found herself to be more secretive and hesitant. Thinking things over instead of just doing. Maybe it was an improvement, or maybe she was scared.
"Scared?" Faith said to herself, flopping down on the sofa. "Right."
"Faith?"
Faith looked up when she heard her name. She saw Angel coming into the room from the bedroom. She gave him a questioning look, but stayed in her spot.
"Angel, what are you doing here?"
"Well, Giles invited me over. He wanted some help on researching a demon," Angel said, sitting beside her. "What's wrong?"
"Nothing's wrong," she lied. "So, we have a baddy? May I ask why I wasn't informed of this?"
"Faith you just came back... I don't want to lose you again."
"That's why you have a girlfriend," Faith blurted out. She was shocked at herself for letting it slip, she wanted to hold back and wait till she could find out more about it. Guess I haven't changed THAT much.
"I... You... You know?" he asked. "Faith, you have to understand that..."
"You're leaving her right? I mean... You're going to tell her that you love me, and that you want to be with me... Right?"
"It's not that simple."
"Isn't it? Cause, I thought that it was."
"Others feelings are involved... It isn't just about me and you. It can't always be what we want. We have to think about others," he said, touching her shoulder.
Faith pulled away. "You weren't thinking of me when you screwed her, were you?"
"That isn't fair Faith."
"Yeah, well I don't need to be fair," she said, standing. "I'll save you the trouble of officially breaking it off. We're over."
"Faith," Angel said, standing. "You don't mean that."
"Oh, I don't, do I? Try me," she said before grabbing her jacket, leaving Angel to stare after her.
