1981-2005
GREAT FRIEND
HE SAW
Xander's tombstone. Willow, Buffy and Dawn were standing in front of it, all staring at the writing. Giles had already left, he had to go to England. Council business.
Dawn had cried so much this past three days. And she was so thankful that Faith was there. Every time Dawn started to cry Faith held her tight.
Faith looked at the three girls, then at the tombstone. She and Xander weren't that close. They sometimes talked, but she felt that they weren't friends. They just knew each other and they fucked once. That was all. Faith just needed to get some at that moment. And Xander happened to be near by.
"You and Faith wanna come over?" Buffy asked Dawn, looking at her little sister. If Faith meant a lot to her, she should at least try to get along with the other Slayer.
Dawn shook her head a little. She looked at Faith for a second before looking back at her sister. "We're gonna go home. But thanks anyway" she said.
Buffy couldn't belive it. Dawn thought that Faith,crappy, apartment is her. And not the house where she had lived these couple of years. "Ok" she finally managed to say.
"Bye" Dawn said before walking to Faith. She took Faith's hand.
Faith pulled Dawn close to herself and put her around Dawn. They slowly walked out of the graveyard.
"Thanks" Dawn whispered.
"For what?" Faith asked, she looked at Dawn.
"For being here" Dawn answered.
Two weeks later
Faith touched her forehead, it was burning hot. When she woke up this morning, she wasn't feeling too good. She knew that she was ill. "Shit" she muttered. She couldn't tell Dawn. At least not today. She'll be coughing blood by tomorrow.She can tell her then. But not today. Dawn was still a little upset because of Xander. And she didn't want to upset her more.
"Faith, you alright?" Dawn asked as she walked into the kitchen.
Faith looked at Dawn and smiled weakly. "Yeah, I'm good" she said.
"Good" Dawn said with a small smile. She walked over to Faith and wrapped her arms around her. "What we doing today?" she asked.
"We could get some movie. But please, no chick-flicks. Some mercy over Faith, okay?" Faith said, smirking a little. There was only so many chick-flicks she could sith through. And she had seen too many already. Every night they watched some with Dawn. And by now, Faith always knew what happened in the end; the so-called heroine finds her prince and they live happily-ever-after. But after all the shit Faith has been through, she knows there aren't happily-ever-after. And she knows that Dawn knows.
"Well, we could get the new version of The Grudge if you don't want any chick-flicks. Or, do you want some kind of action-packed movie?" Dawn said.
"The Grudge sounds good" Faith said with a small nod. "Or we could just watch TV. Six Feet Under is on tonight. And that English show...About those chicks in prison. You know, Bad Girls."
"TV sounds good" Dawn said with a smile. She softly kissed Faith onto the lips.
