A few days had gone by since Spike and Willow brought Faith back to Sunnydale. Since Willow had school Spike kept Faith company. They began to get closer. Even though they had their differences, they still respected each other. He had been there for her when she started having the nightmares, about the horrible things she did in Sunnydale. Willow was becoming very worried about her friend...but before she could worry too long other trouble started to brew.

"Can't you guys be civil for just a few minutes while I get the door!" Willow knew that they were just having fun but they were acting as if they were two again. "Buffy?!?" A shocked Willow said as she opened the door to see her best friend standing there.

"Hey, Wills. What are you doing, and who were you just yelling at??" Buffy asked ignoring the surprise in her voice.

"Uh...I'm just hangin' with Spike and....uh...he was being mean to the television again." She said hoping that Buffy didn't notice that she was blushing.

"Red, who's at the..." Faith called as she walked down the hallway, then stopping dead in her tracks near the stairs. "B? Uh, what are you doing here?"

"Faith?!?!?" Buffy shrieked, looking from her best friend, to Faith and then back to Willow. "What's she doing here, Willow?" There was anger, hurt and surprise in her voice.

"Faith needed a place to stay, to get back on her feet...." Willow started but was rudely interrupted.

"So you thought that you would betray your friends and keep her a secret, while you tried to be Miss Perfect." Buffy was still hurt and angry about what had happened not too long ago, but there was some fear that she would lose her best friend to someone that had been in so much trouble. "And you?" Turning her attention to Faith. "What did you do? Brake out of jail and come here and threaten Willow."

Faith was starting to get angry but she realized that she didn't belong here, with Willow with anyone especially with what she did.

"She didn't brake out of jail Buffy, she served her time. And she didn't and hasn't threatened me. What kind of person do you think she is? Do you honestly think that someone could go to jail and come out the same person. Especially since she had Angel's help before she went to jail. What's wrong with you?" Willow was offended, and upset that Faith started to draw back into herself because of her so called 'best friend'. "And what's it to you what I do? You're never around anymore. Why do you think that I moved back home?"

"Gee, Wills. I never thought that you would turn you back on your friends to help an ugh....I don't know what's happened to you. You're not the same Willow that I know and love."

"Of course not. How can I be? With you always being with Riley. You're not the same Buffy that I knew and loved. How could we possibly still be friends when we don't even talk anymore." Willow was trying to hold down her anger but it wasn't working too well she'd been hurt that Buffy, her best friend, was spending so much time away from her and then throwing her own actions back into her face.

"I don't know what too say, Wills. I didn't know that you hated Riley so much, but yet you're hanging out with the one person that's hurt me the most. Actually, that's nothing compared to what you're doing right now to me." She turned hoping that Willow would say that she was sorry and that Faith would have to go...but it never came. She heard the door softly shut behind her as she walked away. I can't believe that she's chosen Faith over her best friend! Wait until the gang hears about this.

~Later~

Faith needed air especially after what Buffy had said. I know that I'm not supposed to let what B said to me affect me but I'm still hurting from the bad things that I did. But mark my words....if she thinks that I'm going to leave that easily she's got another thing coming to her. She walked out the door leaving a note incase Willow or Spike woke up before she got back.

Feeling a familiar presence leave the house, Spike woke up knowing that the Slayer that he'd become friends with had left. He got out of bed because he had sensed something was wrong with Faith after Buffy came to the house. He walked down the hall and saw a white sheet of paper lying on the hall table. He picked it up to read the words of Faith's note.

Willow and Spike,
I left because I needed some air. I need to think about what exactly I'm doing here and about what Buffy said. I know that she's not right in most of the things that she said to me but I feel I like need think about what I could do to....redeem myself. I guess that's the word I'm looking for. Please don't worry about me, one because (the obvious) I'm the slayer, and two I wont get into any trouble. No one will even know that I'm in town.

Love,
Faith

Spike put the paper down and thought for a moment.


Faith was walking around town and found herself walking by the old high school, the hospital and finally Giles' house. She stopped when she heard three familiar voices, one she recognized was Buffy's. She was talking about what had happened at Willow's house earlier.

"I'm telling you that Faith has done or is doing something to Willow to make her act this way." Buffy said to whom seemed to be Giles, Xander, and a girl she didn't recognize, but knew she was Anya.

"So what, uh, your saying is Faith is hiding out and threatening Willow." Giles said as he removed his glasses and massaged his nose, and then replacing them on his face.

"I can't believe Wills would do something like this." Xander said in total disbelief. He'd had some feelings for Faith but since she went 'evil' his feeling went into jeopardy.

"Well I guess when you start to hangin' out with the wrong crowd it'll change ya. Can you believe that Willow thought that Faith served her time in jail?" Buffy asked but before anyone could answer a familiar voice said something that no one expected.

"I can't believe that you are all listening to this garbage that B's spouting out." Faith smiled when all the attention turned to her. "To put the record straight I spent my time in jail. You could even call Angel." Heaven help me, and Red please forgive me. "As for Red. She befriended me. She came to me and if it wasn't for her and a lawyer named Lindsey I would still be in jail." With that there were four shocked people staring at her. Buffy snapped out of it first and couldn't believe what she'd heard. She walked up to the brunette slayer and punched her across the room.

"Buffy!" Xander called out as he jumped from his place by the couch and headed towards the two slayers.

"I can't believe that you hit me B. You know what that means, right?" She smiled at Buffy's confused look. "You're jealous of me. You're intimidated because I'm friends with Willow." Seeing the anger slowly crawl back onto Buffy's face, Faith got up and walked out of the house.
