Buffy sat in front of Giles looking down at her heels and trying not to think about anything but her watcher in front of her. He had this strange look on him, something between anger and happiness. She had no idea how he managed to pull it off but he did it and it made her feel like a small girl again. She heard him sigh and she was almost certain that he had taken his glasses off again. He said "Buffy, I know you don't want to hear it but I think someone has to say it." Buffy bit her lip and looked up and around the room at the rest of the occupants who apart from Willow were looking on with interest, Willow however was staring at her bluntly trying to tell her to tell.
Instead she looked up at him and waited for him to continue and continue he did. He put his glasses back on and said " I believe the others would agree with that we need to know why you left and came back and then left again." Buffy bit her lip and said "Stuff happened and I had to go." Giles frowned and took a deep breath and said softly "you disappointed me greatly". Buffy felt her eyes water but she stopped and stood up and turned to all of them and said "Do you all feel that way?" Xander, Anya and Giles nodded their heads and Buffy looked up at the ceiling and let out a breath of air and said "Fine you want to know I will tell you. Angelus turned into Angel at the last second but I had to kill him anyway and mum told me to leave so I left. When I came back and saw you all I had trouble dealing so I left again. Every time I thought about coming back I couldn't ok, so does that satisfy you now?" Willow was making tutting sound at her and everyone else was staring at her.
She sighed again and said "Ok so can we ignore this awkward silence and tell me about what has been happening to you guys." Anya suddenly started talking "Well Xander here has been going out with me and we have great sex together, Giles he hasn't been having sex at all although I am sure Faith might, Faith though she has been having loads of sex." Xander finally put his hand over her mouth and said "Right that is enough isn't it. How about we let everyone tell what they have been doing shall we". Faith let out a laugh from where she was previously silent in the corner leaning against the kitchen bench. Buffy glared at her and she rolled her eyes before looking at her nails again obviously bored.
Buffy turned to Giles again and said "Look um never mind, I am just going to go home and you can think about stuff k". She ran out of the room before anyone could stop her.
She got about half a block before someone's hand stopped and she turned around and found her self face to face with Faith. She frowned and said "What do you want?" Faith rolled her eyes and said "Thought you could use the company, looked like you needed it." Buffy looked at her suspiciously and said "You feelingok there Faith?" She smirked and said "Five by Five, felt the need to patrol figured to you would have some energy to burn".
Buffy nodded and said "Yeah I could do with that." Faith nodded too and said "Come on then B, those vamps will never know what hit them." Buffy laughed finally feeling a little bit free for once and followed Faith to the cemetery.
