"I'm not mad at ya B. I just needed a few days to cool down ya know?" she gives me a look that says yeah right.

"well even if you're not I'm sorry. I should have been there and I wasn't." she's right.

"I'm sorry too. I shoulda tried to open up and let you in. I just shut down its all I know and I'm promise in the future to try harder to open up." I say truthfully cus its both our faults.

"ok baby I believe you. So do you want to talk about it?" I immediately tense up.

"I'm not ready yet. Soon though." she nods and lays her head on my chest. We've been layin' here in her bed talkin' for bout two hours. Aunt Paige is at school. UC sunnydale as she yells through the house. Aunt phoebe is at work. Doing what I don't really know. And aunt piper is well... she has Wyatt to take care of. Marques and Matt are in Nebraska Don't know why I chose there but its the first place I thought of when I sent them. Buffy's people are, who the hell knows and Cordy is somewhere. They don't really matter right now. Its just me and Buffy.

"our hearts are beating at the same time." she says while leanin' on her elbow smilin at me. Ya see its times like these I could get used too. It'd be better if my little boy was here but he doesn't need to be around all the slowly easin' tension. When its at a comfortable level he can come back. I smile at her and lean up to kiss her softly.

"wicked." is my reply. I sigh when I look at the time. I got a meetin' with Wesley to get too. Ya know sometimes I forget he exists I don't try to honest. Well sometimes I don't but he's really annoyin'.

"hey B I'll see ya later. Got an 'important meeting' with weasley."

"let me walk you?" ain't my girl the sweetest? Yeah I know.

"alright." we get up and make our way to the school. Time to see what the little ugly wants.

BPOV.

Something isn't right. She's been in the back room with Wesley too long for this to be a standard meeting. I have this feeling in the pit of my stomach. This is one of the times I pray my intuition is wrong because I feel like the shit is going to hit the fan. The whole gang is here. Plus Faith's aunts. Who I don't think like me very much. But then again I am dating their precious niece. Piper told me if I ever hurt her and she found out she'd blow me up. Phoebe and Paige said they'd be more than happy to help her. Yeah I know. I don't plan on hurting her.

"Faith it is the order of the council! You will do this!" we hear Wesley yell. "it is your duty!"

"fuck that!" Faith yells back. What are they discussing?

"you have a job to do! Do it right for once!"

"shut the fuck up before I really hurt you!"

"you will do no such thing!"

"you got life fucked up! I wont hurt you!? Yeah right!" she yells again before storming out of the office. She walks past me and I try to grab her arm. The look in her eyes scares me a little.

"Faith? Baby? What's wrong?"
"nothin' let me go." piper speaks up.

"no Faith you aren't going anywhere. Something is wrong and its not sa-"

"i said I'm fine. Now remove your hand from my arm Buffy. Or I will do it for you." what is her problem.

"but ba-"

"get the fuck offa me!" she yanks her arm away angrily.

"ok. But don't forget I'm here if you want to talk. I love you remember that." I say trying to hide my hurt she won't talk to me. That she wont open up. She scoffs.

"yeah if only I felt the same way." what?

"what are you talking about Faith? What are you talking about? What's wrong?"

"what's wrong is I don't want you to be there. I don't want you to love me because I sure as hell don't love you. What ever we had was fun but that's all." 'what ever we had.' she didn't just say those words. I know I'm crying. How can I not.

"you don't mean that faith. I know you love me and you're jus-"

"no I do mean it. I don't love you. I never did and I never will." she...she doesn't mean that.

"Camryn, why are you treating Buffy like that? Apologize!" Paige demands.

"just tellin' the truth Paige Can't apologize for that." I run out of the library.

CPOV.

Something is wrong. Like really not right. I can see Faith doesn't mean what she just said but why? Why say it? She is one hell of an actress though. I'll give her that. What is she up to? I mean you'd have to be stupid to think she'd mean these things.

"Faith what the hell?!" Xander yells. And cue the stupid.

"just thought I'd let her go before she was in too deep." she gives him a grin and walks out of the library.

"that bitch! How could she do that to Buffy?!" I thought willow was smart. Maybe she's just not insightful. I speak up.

"phoebe?"

"yeah I know." she says back to me. So she senses it too.

"so what do you think?.." I trail off.

"Wesley Only explanation. Why else?" so what did he say to make her act this way?

"Cordelia?" oz speaks for the first time.

"hmm?"

"do you think it has anything to do with her family?" good we're on the same page.

"no...but something serious." I say.

"what are you talking about?" willow asks angrily. She's not sensing it.

"something isn't right with Faith. Can't you tell? I know you don't really like her but come on. Even you know she loves Buffy more than her own life." she thinks it over for a few minutes before speaking. She lets out a loud sigh.

"i guess you're right. But why would she say those things?"

"to push Buffy far away." Paige says. Buffy walks back into the library the same time Wesley comes out of his office. She rushes at him with pure fury in her eyes.

"what did you do to my girlfriend?" she growls as she holds him by his neck. That's what I'd like to know.

Yeah I know its short. Um if ya haven't seen it my new story has been started. Its called Seasons change, People don't. Go ahead and take a peak at that one.
