This chapter contains a lively discussion, better call it a fight, between
Giles and Alyssa. Finally the so called former relationship becomes clear
to everyone.
***Chapter 7 ***
Summers Residence
Not long after Alyssa arrived back home after a night of patrol out with the girls, she had sensed Giles. She knew she didn't want to talk to him, but she also knew that she could not keep avoiding him like she had been doing lately. A few minutes he walked into the kitchen, followed by Dawn and Willow, who were having a lively conversation about the latest fashion. Giles looked tired. He probably had been doing research all night or something. When he entered he looked at her and she could feel his eyes burn in her back. She wasn't up to fight with him, let alone have a polite conversation with him. When he had greeted the girls, she tried to get out a stable 'hi', but the words were stuck in her throat. Their eyes met and she could feel the hurt in his eyes.
'Something the matter, Alyssa', Giles politely asks.
'Nothing big, just tired', she tried.
'Nothing big, right, got nothing to share?'
'Like I said, nothing big', she started to get annoyed. He was getting at her nerves and she knew it wouldn't take long before she would snap. She knew herself, she would blow the roof of, say the wrong things, hurt him more than humanly possible. She just wasn't up for it right now. So she stood up and walked out of the room, but before she reached the stairs to walk up to her room, he had followed her.
'We really should talk'
'About what?'
'Us, what we used to be'
'Right, you said it, used to be. Past tense. Like in it is over'
'It is over. I know that, but you just stopped caring? Stopped loving me? Just like that?'
'Not just like that'. Now she was pissed. 'I have stopped loving a long time ago. I only care about you because I have to'.
'Only because you have to. Well, at least it is honest. Can you at least tell me why?'
'Full story? Fine. But I warned yeah, might hurt. Let's start with the reason I came the England. You said we had a chance. So when I came to visit Willow, I thought, hey, let's see what happens. See if we do have a chance. I thought we did, for a little while. But then you crashed my dream like you poke a bubble. Gone it was.'
She took a breath and continued. 'Then I found out what you were doing while you were.. um.. away. You cheated on me with that coven girl. I mean, if you were that desperate, why not come to me. But no, you decided to cheat and then later on lie about it. I mean come on, I'm not that stupid.'
'I know you're not, but I did not exactly cheat.'
'Then what exactly were you doing?, cause sleeping with someone else while you're involved is still cheating'.
'I was kinda.. saving the world'
She burst into laughter. 'Saving the world? That's hilarious. From what were you saving the world?'
'From Willow'.
All of sudden she was serious again. 'You were sleeping with a girl and that meant to save the world. Besides, Willow's never been a threat to the world. The world never knew her.' She now was losing it. So if I would be sleeping with a guy, I could just say I was saving the world. No explaining necessary. Your logics definitely do not resemble mine.'
'You wouldn't understand, I knew'
'You're wrong'. The anger could be heart in her voice. 'I do. More than you know.' She paused for a split second. 'So next I be sleeping with Spike, I'd be saving the world. Won't have to feel sorry about that'. With that she left him and ran upstairs to her room.
Suddenly everyone who had been close to place where the arguing happened, started talking again. They all had heart. All knew. All shocked.

Kinda short, I know, just wish this cleares it up a little. Right now I'm writing the next chapter. So hold on, update will arrive soon.
