Don't Go Away"
Buffy ran as fast as her legs would allow. She figured he couldn't have had that much of a head start on her, but she wanted to be sure. She didn't want to lose him.
She knew she was wrong. She knew she was hurting him, but she couldn't stop. That particular week she spent with Liam seemed like the longest week of her life. But she didn't intend to hurt Will; she just wanted him to see; to feel something. No, she was the one who wanted to feel. She was the one who wanted to feel. She was the one who felt dead inside, and she punished him for it. For his unnoticed pity, and his unconditional love. She felt she didn't deserve it.
*Deep for you That I don't want to Let go of you. I can' I can't let this love Slip away. And I can't turn it around, Baby. But don't leave me.*
She found him standing idly by their SUV, drawing invisible patterns on the driver side window.
"I was stupid, ya know. Forgot you had the keys." He said in a monotonous voice. He looked at her reflection in the window. He made a mental note of her tear stained cheeks, but refused to turn around and console her.
"I am so sorry. I'm so sorry baby. I still love you. I still need you." She said in a quivering voice. He felt the fury rise in him.
"Were you loving me while you fucked him? Were you needing me when he pounded his filthy cock into you?!" He finished yelling, all the while pounding his hand on the roof of the car. He took a deep breath in an attempt to compose himself. Buffy took a deep breath as well, attempting to muster up some courage, and walked closer to him. She gently placed her hands on his shoulders. He didn't flinch away, but his shoulders sagged considerably.
"Please don't leave me. I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me." She then slowly turned him around, placing his wedding band in his left hand. His gaze, though sad and weary, was unwavering. He lifted his hand slowly and gently caressed her cheek. She nuzzled her face into his open warm palm.
*Please don't go Away from me. When you call my Name, I reach out my Hand to you- With my heart. Please don't go Away from me. We can work it out. Whatever it may be.*
"We can't start over, and I can't forget what you- what happened." She started nodding her head vigorously in an attempt to quell her tears as his rejection sunk in.
"I know. I - I unders-" He cut her off as he placed his index finger on her lips with a gentleness he reserved only for her.
"Shh. But I'm willing to try to work on it, to work on forgiving and to work on us, if you are."
*I'll be there, I'll be right there..*
