She couldn't believe it. He was in front of her, right then. He was there. Buffy was too overwhelmed to talk, to move, to do anything really. She did the only thing she could, she fainted.

Buffy opened her eyes slowly. Her eyes focused after a minute and she was met with the concerned face of her sister and her ex-boyfriend. "She's awake" Faith stated. "William! Hurry up with that ice."

Will came rushing into the room with a pack of ice and gently placed it on Buffy's head. "Are you okay?" he demanded. His heart had been pounding since the moment he caught her just before she hit the ground. He'd done a number on his guitar he could say that much.

Buffy groaned as she sat up. her head was pounding and her heart was beating erratically. "William" she whispered. Her eyes traced the contours of the beautiful face looking at him. "Y-you're here."

Faith looked between the two blondes rolling her eyes. They needed to talk but there was no way she was leaving her sister alone…especially with someone who abandoned her, them, years ago.

"yeah love. I'm here. It's really me."

Buffy struggled to stand and did successfully with Faith's help. She looked at her ex, who was standing in front of her, for a long moment before her hand shot out and she smacked him. "What the hell are you doing here!" she yelled. Mentally she thanked Faith for moving her to one of the upstairs rooms where no one would notice the scene.

"Elizabeth…" he tried to interrupt with no success.

"You left Will! Without a word! You didn't even say goodbye. I thought I mean more to you than that."

"Liz…"

"And then you were gone and I went to your house and you were gone. You were gone Will!" Buffy tried to hold back the tears but couldn't. she instead turned to her sister who instantly hugged her, glaring at the man she'd once considered to be like a brother.

"Buffy, are you okay?" Willow came into her house a little later. Buffy had called it a day early claiming that she wasn't feeling well. Willow hadn't thought much of it until Faith told her what happened. She'd done something that she had never thought she would do, she left her kitchen under someone else's care. But this was her bff she was talking about.

"Yeah, I'm fine." Buffy looked at her friend with a weak smile. "It was just a shock…seeing him like that."

"Don't worry, Faith turned him down." Buffy looked confused. "For the band position."

"Wait, what? Why?"

Willow looked a little taken back. She was sure Buffy would be jumping for joy over that. Apparently she was wrong. "what do you mean?"

"He can't not get the job because it may hurt my feelings. He did that a long time ago. Besides…" Buffy took a deep breath. "I'm over him. He left me and I'm over him. I want to show him that."

"So you want me to tell Faith or…"

"I'll do it."

"How are you gonna explain Jenny though?"

Buffy's face softened at the sound of the name then hardened again. "I won't. They won't meet and Faith's leaving in a few weeks to go back on tour with the band. I can deal until then."

"Then he leaves."

"And hopefully never comes back."

"Never comes back" echoed Willow.

A/N: okay so that's it for now. This was short but as I said on my other fanfic, I'm on vacation and I had to type fast to even get this in. do you guys think I need a beta or am I doing well? I promise that the next chapter will be longer and hopefully better. REVIEW. Don't give up on me
