AN: Hope you liked the first chapter…I really like this story idea and I hope I can get it to turn out how I want it to…please continue to R&R.
IMPORTANT: Okay 1, if you don't like this story DO NOT REVIEW IT! And 2, okay Angel has done so much worse things than Faith has done and he is on the path of redemption. He knows how Faith feels and if you watch "Angel" then you'd know that Angel was more than willing to give Faith the chance and help her. So unless you know what you are talking about, don't leave me bitchy reviews that make no sense!!!!!!!!!!!
Wake me
up inside
(I can't wake up)
Wake me up inside
(Save
me)
Call my name and save me from the dark
(Wake me up)
Bid
my blood to run
(I can't wake up)
before I come undone
(Save
me)
save me from the nothing I've become.
Faith woke up startled at first. She didn't realize where she was at first. Then she caught sight of Angel standing in the kitchen. She suddenly remembered why she was sleeping in an unknown place. She then remembered that she felt awful that Angel was sleeping on his sofa so that she could be in a real bed. Angel turned towards the bed and smiled at her.
"Hey you, I made eggs. I hope you like eggs?" Angel questioned.
"Yeah I do, but you didn't have to." Faith said standing up and attempting to smooth the wrinkles out of Angel's shirt she was wearing with his boxers. She reached up and realized her hair must be sticking up all over the place. She grinned up at Angel and turned towards the bathroom.
"They'll be done in ten minutes or so." Angel said, "But you're welcome to take a shower after breakfast."
"Sure thing!" Faith said smiling and closing the bathroom door.
Angel quickly put plates and coffee for Faith on the table. He then heated up blood for himself and sat down to wait for Faith. He was so glad that she was going to stay with him and get help. It's what she needed, he understood perfectly. And he didn't care that Buffy was furious with him for having Faith there. He smiled as Faith walked in with her brown hair pulled back into a pony-tail. She sat down across from him and took a sip of her coffee.
"Thanks for this Angel." Faith said looking serious for a second, then she quickly grinned and averted her eyes from his.
"No problem." Angel said, "But I was thinking maybe we should get you some clothes today?"
"Yeah that'd be a good idea, but um well, I have no money. I mean ordinarily I wouldn't actually pay for the clothes, but…" She trailed.
"Yeah well don't even worry about it. Um, but I talked to Cordy and she said she could take you. Yah know me and the sunlight are not the best of friends." Angel said.
"Cordelia? She wants to take me shopping?" Faith asked looking surprised.
"Well, she um needed a little um…" Angel trailed off.
"You bribed her didn't you?" Faith said grinning, "Well I guess I'll survive. It'll be interesting then I guess."
"Yeah that's what I thought, but who better than Cordy for the job eh?" Angel said grinning and draining the last of his blood from the mug.
"Five by five," Faith said grinning back at him and finishing her eggs and coffee.
"So are you okay with shopping with me?" Faith asked Cordy.
"Well not really, but I guess I don't have choice thanks to Angel." Cordy said coldly, but not too seriously.
"Well I know that I have done…awful things, and that I have hurt people you care about. But Angel is going to help me, and I want to be helped. I want to get better and have a chance at redeeming myself as Angel had. I couldn't be sorrier for the things I've done Cordelia, and I only ask for a chance." Faith explained.
"Oh," Cordy said looking fairly blown away, "I get it, I really do. And I am willing to give you a chance. To be fair, I am not taking your word for it, but I absolutely and completely trust Angel so I trust his judgment in you. So yes, I will give you the chance you deserve, but as of now that doesn't necessarily make us friends okay?"
"Five by five Cor, got it!" Faith said grinning, "So lets hit the shops then."
