BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER PG-13
THE SECOND WILLOW-TARA FILE
FINAL CHAPTER: TARA'S RECOVERY

The next two weeks were very hard and exhausting for Willow as helped Tara go through the hell of her withdrawal from her addiction.
There were many sleepless night and many bad days. Several times, Willow had to physical restrain Tara so she wouldn't hurt herself. Both Willow and Tara cried frequently during these times.
Sometime Tara would refuse to eat. When Willow would her to eat, Tara would throw the food across the room and scream at Willow, then she would cry because she had yelled at Willow. Willow then would hold her and tell her it was okay while they cried together.
Tara was very dependent on Willow and got upset whenever Willow was out of her sight for any length of time.
Tara cried on and off and was very depressed. At times she would search the apartment to see if Willow hid any of her stash. Whenever Willow caught her at this she would scold Tara, and then comfort her as she cried.
Finally things started to get better. Tara cried less and started to eat more without being told. She no longer had nightmares and started to smile more. She even laughed a couple times.
She stilled had some times when she slid back and had bad days, but she made progress. Little by little she got over her need for cocaine and she no longer to take it or any drug.
After four weeks Tara had completely recovered and she and Willow slept for three days with small breaks to eat and relieve them selves.
Then at the end of week they had a quiet dinner together.
"I'm sorry Willow for what I put you through." Said Tara.
"That's okay." Replied Willow. "But if you ever do something like this again I'll- -I'll- -I'll spank you so hard you'll have to stand up for a month."
Tara smiled and she kissed Willow long and passionately. "I love you Willow."
"I love you too Tara."
