LAST WORDS

-Dear loved ones

please listen

this might be the last chance I get

I'm sorry

I left you

I'm living in a world of regret

don't cry if

you can hear me

I didn't mean to hurt you, dearly

I'm so wrong

Sincerely

Don't stop take life seriously-

Tru burst into her apartment crying and looking like she was going to beat the shit out of anyone or anything who came in her way.

But Faith wasn't afraid.

"Tru? Hey, hey, what's the matter?" She wrapped her arms around her friend's shoulders and sat her down on the bed.

"Fuck... just FUCK IT ALL!" Tru screamed angrily, slamming her head into the palms of her hands.

"Babe, ya gotta tell me what's wrong, fuck what? What happened?"

Tru took several deep breaths to calm herself before continuing. "Jack." She said in one, angry word.

-these are the last words

I'm ever gonna get to say to you

When every falls away, from, you

Take these words and know this world is not worth leaving

There's so much, I've done wrong

Since I've left it hit me so strong

Take my hand

And let's walk through

All the time's I've lied and hurt you-

"Jack....Jack...doesn't ring a bell...OH! That Creepy guy from the morgue?" she snapped with her fingers for emphasis.

"Yes..."

"Well what did he do?"

"I'm getting to that," Tru hissed under her breath.

"Woah, sorry, continue." Faith slid away and held her hands up.

Tru sighed. "As you know... he... does what I do... relives days, I mean.... But it's not as good as I wanted it to be! It's so not for the same reasons ... he goes back to make sure that the people I'm supposed to save, DIE! And he almost got my brother today... but...he...he..." Tru began to sob and Faith took this as an opportunity to slide back in and comfort her.

She rubbed her shoulders and hushed her, repeating "it's alright...don't worry...it'll be okay... what'd he do?..."

Tru looked up at the slayer and frowned.

"Harrison didn't die... L-Luc did.... Jack made it so that the man who killed Harrison killed Luc instead..." she continued to sob on Faith's now damp shoulder.

-those people

please love them

don't hate them

we're not above them

you can have everything but I have nothing

Listen I've got to tell you something...-

"Who's Luc, Tru?"

Tru looked up again, with a fearful frown on her face.

"My ex... he... he was the photographer at the morgue I told you about ... he loved me... and I... cared for him..." she didn't want to continue after she felt Faith's breath hitch underneath her.

"Oh... the-the cute one, r-right? With the blue eyes..."

"Yeah... that was him..."

"Wait, why didn't he ask?"

Tru held back the new flood of tears that were threatening to escape from her eyes.

"I...don't know..."

- These are the last words

I'm ever gonna get to say to, you

When everything falls away from you

Take these words and know that this world is not worth leaving

These are the last words

I'll really ever get to say to, you

So listen very carefully to what I'm saying

Life is more than just the games you're playing-

Faith hugged her close and gently rocked back and forward.

She whispered in Tru's ear, "I know how it feels...to lose someone close to you... I lost another slayer once..."

"What was her name...?" Tru asked in a small voice.

"Buffy."

-if there was ever one thing I could ever get across to you

I'd tell you not to say these things you do

And tell my mother that I love her, too

No matter what life pulls you through

(No) You've got what it takes to make it through

And if I was you I'd get down on my knees and pray

Thank god in the morning for another day

Cause these are the...

These are the last words

I'm ever gonna get to say to, you

When everything falls away from you

Take these words and know that this world is not worth leaving

These are the last words

I'll really get to say to, you

So listen very carefully to what I'm saying

Life is more than just the games you're playing-

"Did you love her...?" Tru was curious.

Faith sighed.

"Yeah... we were never good friends though... now I wish so badly that we could have been...but I was... too evil I guess."

Tru sniffed and leaned into Faith more.

"Evil?...you'd never hurt a fly," she smiled slightly, oblivious to the frown that fell across Faith's face.
