Faith looked at the phone, thinking she was dreaming that the phone rang. But once again it rang with a red light flashing. Half of her was hoping it would be Buffy, but her other half didnt know what to say to her.

"Hello?"

"Hey Faith, hows it going?"

"Oh hey Kennedy, im good just arrived in LA, Angel set me up with a condo already, great view. How is everyone there?"

Buffy looked at the phone one more time and picked up the reciever she dialed Angels place but got a busy tone. She hung up and told herself this had to be a sign. Kennedy hung up the phone and Faith looked at the phone for another 5 minutes, she wanted Buffy to call. But the phone stood there silent. She gave up and went to her condo, she looked at the beautiful view of LA. The lights, the noises from people, the music from dance clubs, and there was the contract that Angel left on her table. With a tab telling her to make sure she read it and understood it before she sign it. He ended the note that to take my time. I took the contract and went into bed after i changed into my jogging pants and a tank top. I looked at the contract, everything was fine with it. My days of going to go out and patrol, and other stuff, but there it was the part that Angel referred to, think about. "If you sign this contract, you are bound to stay with Angel Investigation for 5 years unless you are terminated from Angel himself" I sat there reading that line over and over again, questioning whether I should sign it or not. What if Buffy came and wanted me to come back to Cleveland? What if she didnt? She put the contract on the side, she needed a break from all of this. It was a huge commitment.

Buffy went upto her bedroom, she hated that she couldnt just admit her feelings. Well, technically she was scared to trust again, Faith broke her trust. She took out her dart board and there in the center was a picture of Faith. She remembered placing her picture in the middle of her dart board when she saw Faith and Paige in the shower together. She put the dart board on the wall, she looked at the picture realizing not one hole on her picture. She got her darts and aimed at the small picture of Faith in the middle of the bullseye. She took the frst dart and threw it at the dart board but not her picture. She threw all six of the darts and realized she missed the picture completely, all the darts circled her picture, but not one dart touched her face. She was mad that her innerself knew she wanted Faith, but she wasnt going to allow it.

Kennedy sat on the couch a bit nervous.

"Whats wrong hun?" Willow asked.

"I know a lot has happened in this past week, but I really wanted to talk to you"

"Okay" Willow sat on the opposite couch. She had a feeling this wouldnt be good.

"Willow, no one is stupid to not know they are not under a spell when they see you do it. What made Nicole think that you guys had something? I know you told me not to talk about it, but its killing me Willow, i need to know the truth. Even if it hurts, Willow did you cheat on me?"

Willow got up and was about to leave, but kennedy grabbed her arm and turned her around in a force and made her face her face directly, both eyes staring at each other. Kennedy's eyes were fuming and Willow was now losing her patience.

"Do you know who your messing with?" Willow pushed Kennedy a bit back from her.

"Yeah i do Willow, thee most powerful wicca in the world, but i dont care I want to know the truth? Damn it Willow, why dont you just tell me the truth"

"You know what Kennedy? Your spending to much time with your good best friend Faith, that just the way she questioned Buffy in prison, your questioning me now"

"Dont ever bring Faith into this, she has nothing to do with this. This is between me and you, no one else. But your not that innocent either, your good best friend buffy has no clue when she has something good, she's being stupid and now i think shes got you influenced, you dont even know when you have something good either" Willow got up to Kennedys face, and slapped her across her face.

"Dont you ever compare me to Buffy again? She has the right to keep Faith out of her life, she fucking cheated on her"

"Oh i see how it goes! Faith and Buffy were over, so she could have slept with anyone she never cheated on Buffy!" Kennedy rubbed her red cheek. "Who knows your probably cheating on me?"

"Say it one more time Kennedy, and i swear i'll bruise that cheek"

"What the fuck is wrong with you, Willow? Its a simple question, why cant you answer it. And dont forget your messing with a slayer not an average person"

"Is that a challenge? Because history is on my side that im stronger then a slayer, ask Buffy?"

"I bet you are stronger then a slayer, when your a psycho bitch!" Willow came closer to Kennedy's face and was about to hit her again, until she realized that this was ridicilous.

"Im going to bed ALONE, your psycho Kennedy"

"Answer the question Willow, or I swear to God im never going to let you go!" Willow turned around

"What do you think Kennedy?"

"I dont know, thats why i am asking, and the only person that can say something besides you is six feet under ground, but maybe if you do your mojo you can bring her back to life and i'll ask her" Willow waved her hand which made Kennedy hit the wall behind her with force. Kennedy fell to the ground catching her breath, now she was getting mad. Willow was about to walk into her room, only to be tackled by Kennedy to the ground. She turned Willow around and sat on top of her. Her hair falling down her right cheek.

"Now your pissing me off, now answer the question." Willow laughed and pushed Kennedy off herself.

"You want to know the answer, well its about time you know the truth!"

Buffy finally fell asleep but kept her phone and cell next to her hoping Faith would call. Faith watched some television and then fell asleep.

Next Morning

Knock Knock

Faith answered the door to see Fred there, with a tray of breakfast. She let Fred in and told her to make herself comfortable whilst she goes into the bathroom and freshen up. She came out after an hour, she ended up taking a shower and was dressed in black jeans and a white sweater, it was a turtle neck sweater, with her hair tied back and loop earrings. Her lips were filled with clear gloss, which made her lips shine only to make her look even more sexier then she already is. Faith sat opposite of Fred on the couches and took a slice of bread and buttered it.

"Arent you hungry Fred?"

"Faith its 2 in the afternoon, i had breakfast 4 hours ago."

"Oh sorry, i had a rough night, you know a lot on my mind. So when did Angel get serious about his employees? getting them to sign a 5 year contract"

"Angel got tired of people coming and going whenever they wanted. Well, you aint got it that bad, i signed a contract to life, i guess they really needed a scientist. Me, Gunn, Wesley, all signed a life contract. Cordelia even signed a contract, but then she died"
"I see, so what is it like working with Angel?"

"Like heaven, hes soo nice, gave us a nice condo, any car that we wanted, Ohh which reminds me here is the catologue choose which ever car you want, and Angel will get it for you. But obviously thats if you sign the contract. I hope you sign it and join our team, we really need a pro for the slayers, and you can teach the other slayers how to be a lot better in slaying. But i know your still hoping Buffy will come and get you and tell you to come back home"

"How did you know?"

"Its written all over your face! Why dont you call her?" With that Fred took the tray and left Faith there. Faith picked up her phone and dialed the number she thought she never would dial.

"Hello?"

"Hey Dawnie, how are you?"

"Im well and you?"

"Im good can i speak to your sister?"

"BUFFY, Faiths on the phone" Dawn yelled. Buffy came slowly down the stairs and took the phone from Dawn and giving her the look to leave and give her some privacy. Well Dawn had to go anyways, she had school and Xander was going to pick her up.

"Hello Faith, can i help you?"

"Hi Buffy, i thought i would just call to see how you are"

"Well im fine Faith, you know 5 by 5, what did you think that i was going to go into a depressed state since your gone. Well newsflash Faith, i am better without you, especially after what you did."

"Buffy, Angel gave me a contract, that if i sign i will have to work with him for 5 years." Buffy gasped, she never knew that Angel got that serious about his employees.

"Well, you chose to go to Angel, so do whatever you want" She still hoped Faith wouldnt sign it.

"Buffy, stop doing this. Why dont you admit that you still love me?"

"Faith i did, i really did, but after what i saw in the shower, im sorry but i dont love you anymore. I dont care if you want to jump and kill yourself. Its your life, do whatever, find who ever. Anyways Faith have a good life!" Buffy hung up. She took the phone and threw it at the wall. "WHY CANT I TELL HER THAT I LOVE HER! EVERYTIME I HEAR HER VOICE SHE GETS ME SOOO MAD" Buffy fell to the ground in tears. Just then a white light appeared it was Joyce.

"Buffy, honey, what is going on with you? You love her sooo much that shes on your mind 24/7 and your treating her like your higher then her. Did i raise you like this? i swear i raised you to treat everyone equally and to forgive people. And Faith is truly sorry, what else do you want from her? Buffy please, stop doing this to yourself and more importantly to her. Dont make her sign that contract!" Joyce disappeared. Buffy grabbed the phone, and dialed Faiths phone number, but it was the busy tone. She didnt know Faith's cell number.

Kennedy packed her bags and left the apartment. As the door closed, Willow had tears falling down her cheeks as she stared at the water below. Faith closed the phone and looked at the contract and picked up the pen.
