25. "All I need" (song by Matchbox Twenty) Faith, BTVS
She didn't need them, Faith told herself as she flipped the channels of her shitty motel TV that never seemed to show a picture without static. Buffy and her friends, the stupid Scoobies- what a freakin' dorky name- she didn't need any of them, or anything they could give her. Not that they were offering it… but even if they had been, Faith didn't need it.
She flipped through the channels without paying any attention to what they were showing as she thought about it, her eyes narrowed, forehead creased. She didn't need them. All that shit they were always going around preaching on, that wasn't exactly on Faith's priority list. Love, support, respect…honor and duty and discipline…why would Faith want any of that? She didn't need any of that from them, especially since it would be hand in hand with their patronizing and pity of her, no doubt.
All Faith needed was herself… that, and someone to help her scratch her itch when she couldn't get the job done on her own. Other than that, she had everything she needed on her own. She didn't need anything else.
She didn't.
