Right Kind Of Wrong
A/N: Okay, here is another chapter. My muse wouldn't let me be, so here we go (again).
The blaring alarm clock woke the slayers up out of a deep sleep, following a knock on the door. They gave each other looks of confusion, and decided to get dressed before they opened the door.
"Who is it?" Faith asked.
There was a pause before someone answered, "It's Cordelia." She replied.
Buffy hauled ass to the bathroom while Faith opened the door. She let the brunette in and closed the door.
"So C, what are you doing here?" She asked the other girl.
"I'm not for you slay girl, I wanted to talk to Buffy. Where is she?" She asked, the ice creeping up in her voice.
Buffy came out of the bathroom, dressed hair done and teeth brushed. She tried to hide the smile that she wanted to give Faith.
"What is it Cordelia? I have class in fifteen minutes. Faith, why are you still here?" She asked the other slayer.
"You don't have to tell me twice, your royal bitchiness." She mumbled.
Faith went into the bathroom, and Buffy waited for the shower to turn on. When she heard it she dropped the hostility.
"Buffy, what was yesterday about? And what the hell are you doing with Angel? I thought you were so over him. Did you screw him too?" She asked.
The blonde couldn't understand why the other girl was being so snotty. It wasn't like they had something going on.
Buffy feigned innocence, but knew damn well what the brunette was talking about. "Cordy, what are you talking about? I didn't do anything yesterday." Buffy insisted.
"Yeah you did, you almost let it slip to Xander that you and I were a you and I. Not in so many words, but it still had the same effect." She stated.
"I don't know what you're talking about. If you will excuse me I have class to get to." Buffy grabbed her books off of her desk and walked out the room. Faith chose that moment to walk out of the bathroom in nothing but a towel. She thought Buffy was still in the room, but was surprised when Cordelia was standing there.
"Where's B?" She asked, the brunette who was still staring out the door Buffy just exited.
"She had to go to class. I need to go too, tell Buffy I will talk to her later." Cordelia left the room without another word.
Faith stood there wondering what happened between the two girls. She needed to talk to Buffy and found out what happened. Pushing that aside, she got dressed and grabbed her books. There was ten minutes left before she had to get to class.
Buffy made it to psychology with moments to spare; she took her usual seat by Willow. Professor Walsh entered the classroom a little while later.
"Good morning Miss. Summers, I'm glad that you are back. Meet with Riley after class to get your assignments." She told her, no emotions in her voice.
Buffy looked at Riley and smiled. He was a nice guy, but he was not her type. Professor Walsh launched into her lecture, and Willow gave Buffy a note.
'How did it go last night?'
Buffy took out her pen and began to reply:
'Good we saw Xander and Cordelia heading our way, so we had to argue and I put a little bee in Xander's bonnet about Cordelia. Whether he chose to believe it was a different story." She wrote back.
"Cordy came in slightly pissed last night.' Willow replied.
"She'll get over it." Buffy responded.
Class was over and Buffy went down front to meet with Riley. He handed her some papers.
"This is the work that you missed. You have a report to do on Freud that is due next Wednesday. This is your study guide for the test that you missed." He explained the papers to her.
"Great, I get kidnapped and held against my will, and I get work. My day is never dull." She said sarcastically.
"If you need any help, let me know. I'll be glad to help you Buffy." He gave her a smile.
Buffy told him good-bye and walked out of the classroom, Cordelia was waiting for her. It surprised her because Willow is normally waiting for her.
"Cordy, what are you doing here? You usually don't wait for me after class; we always meet in the Grotto." Buffy mentioned casually.
"I needed to talk to you, and I couldn't do it with everyone around." The brunette told her.
They fell into step with each other, and Buffy found a bench underneath a shaded tree. She sat down and Cordelia sat next to her, the silence was unbearable. In a way Buffy felt really uncomfortable sitting with the girl, who single handedly blackmailed Angel to kidnap her.
"So, you wanted to talk, here we are talk." Buffy prompted the other girl.
"I need to tell you something's, it may piss you off, and ruin our friendship forever, but it has to be said." Cordelia started.
Buffy held up her hand to stop the girl, when she saw Willow and Xander exchanging smoochies. She just hoped that Cordelia didn't see it, if she did everything was going to go to hell.
"Cordy, you know what? Why don't we take this back to my room, it's much quieter." Buffy suggested.
"What is your deal? We were talking here, just fine." She looked at Buffy and then saw what she was looking at.
What she saw infuriated her, shocked her, and surprised her. She couldn't believe that Willow and Xander were screwing around behind her back.
"Tell me, I am not seeing this?" She asked.
Buffy tried to lie, "You are seeing it, I'm sorry." She felt bad for the girl.
Cordelia got up and dropped her books on the bench and made her way to the unsuspecting couple. Buffy followed behind her, hoping to prevent the blowout that was about to come.
"What the fresh hell is this?" She asked the two people.
Willow and Xander broke apart, when they heard Cordelia's voice. Willow looked at Buffy and frowned, she stood behind Cordelia and shook her head, and moved her hands, as if saying, 'I didn't say anything.'
"Cordy it's not what it looks like, we were just saying hello." Xander tried to explain.
"You were saying hello, and you tripped on her lips. Whatever, how long has this been going on." She yelled, by then they had a little crowd around them.
Xander didn't know what to say, he was too embarrassed and upset to have a reply. Willow just looked around and saw Oz, and Faith standing there, with looks of disapproval on their faces.
Xander finally found his voice, "You want to know how long this has been going on I'll tell you." He looked at Willow, "I'm sorry Willow, but the lying has to stop, it's been going on since senior year. You were acting all secretive with Buffy, and I was feeling neglected, so I found what I was missing in Willow." He told his girlfriend, well soon to be ex girlfriend.
Oz walked off unable to hear anymore, Willow tried to rush after him, but he brushed her off. The red head went back over to her friends, Buffy looked at her sympathetically.
"So you found what you were lacking in Willow? Were you thinking of her when you were fucking me?" She said, venom lacing her voice.
"Hold on Cordy it was much my fault than it was Xander's, so don't just blame him. I was a willing participant also." Willow defended her childhood friend.
"Like that makes it better, I knew that shy and innocent act was just an act. Did you enjoy sneaking behind my back?" She asked the two, Buffy was about to intervene, but Faith nodded her head no.
Buffy took a step back, the crowd that they had earlier were now gone, and left was the five of them. The blonde felt bad for her two friends, but it was going to come about anyways.
"I wasn't thinking about her when we made love. It made me wonder if you were thinking about Buffy, when I went down on you." Xander blurted out.
Everyone looked at him in shock, especially Buffy. He knew the whole entire time and didn't say anything.
"What the hell are you talking about Xander? Cordelia and I were never together like that." Buffy protested.
"You didn't know I knew did you. I'm not completely stupid as everyone thinks I am. I followed you two one night after patrol. I wondered why you two were so comfortable with each other. What did I find? You and Buffy going at it like two bitches in heat!" He blurted out the rest.
"Wait X-man I won't allow you to call my gir- I mean Buffy a bitch. If you were paying more attention to C then what was going on with Oz and Willow, none of this fucked up shit wouldn't have happened." Faith came to the defense of her girlfriend.
"I can't deal with this shit anymore, I'm out of here." Cordelia stormed off leaving Willow, Xander, Faith, and Buffy behind.
"I need to go find Oz, and try to explain things." Willow turned and walked away from the group.
"Xander, you didn't have to put our business out there like that." Buffy told her friend.
"I'm sorry Buff, but I can't be around you right now. You're supposed to be my best friend, and you were screwing my girlfriend." He turned to Faith, "I'm glad you finally saw her for what she was." Xander told Faith and walked away.
Faith went to go comfort Buffy, but she held up her hand, "Don't, just don't." She said, and walked away, leaving a very confused Faith behind. She looked at her watch and saw that she was going to be late for class.
Cordelia was sitting in the bathroom trying to dry the tears that were falling. She had never been so humiliated in her life. She didn't know what she saw in Xander Harris, now that he was out of the picture, trying to get Buffy back wouldn't be hard now. The brunette wiped her face, and smiled. Nothing was going to stop her now; she just needed to get rid of Angel. She walked out of the bathroom head held high, no one fucked with a Chase.
Willow looked everywhere trying to find Oz, but she ran into Tara instead. Willow explained everything that happened between Xander, Oz, Cordelia, and herself.
"W-Willow, you knew that this was going to happen sooner or later." Tara told her friend.
"I wished it was later rather than sooner you know. I felt bad about lying to everyone, I finally came clean with Buffy, but I didn't let her know about you, not yet anyway. You're the only thing right in my life right now." She sniffled a little bit.
"Y-You should talk to Oz, and get this all out in the open. It would make you feel better, as for the way you feel for me, I feel the same way too. I will wait for you until you figure out what it is that you want to do." She reassured the red head.
This made Willow feel better for a little while. Tara did have a point she needed to talk to both Xander and Oz.
"Thank you Tara, I don't know what I would do without you." She thanked her friend.
Buffy sat in her room, dried tears on her face. She couldn't believe how things just snowballed out of control. What got her the most was, Xander knew about her and Cordelia. She guessed that's why he did what he did, to alleviate his conscience for what he was doing. Thank The Powers that Faith knew about all of this. Buffy was in her room brooding when a knock sounded on her door. She got up from the bed and answered it.
"Angel." She stated.
"Buffy, I came here like I said I was." He told her softly, he was met with arms full of slayer. She began to cry out all of her frustrations of the day. He listened until she finished with everyone walking off.
"I'm sorry that everything happened, but it was going to fall apart. I learned from my many years roaming the earth." He told her.
"What's that?" She asked tiredly.
"Whatever is done in the dark always has a way of coming to light." He told her.
Buffy sighed, "If that's the case then I would rather stay in the dark." She said sadly.
The slayers cries and sobs tapered off and was replaced with even breathing. Angel knew that she was asleep. He continued to hold her, and that's how Faith found them when she entered the room.
"Dead Boy, what the fuck are you doing?" She questioned.
General Mac- No begging please. I will have another chapter up as soon as I can. It will only be for a few days. I'm pretty sure that you can hang on til then.
Naweoh- Cryptic is my style, there is no way around it. There is more to come, this story is far from over.
xMortyx- I'm a pretty twisted person, you will learn that once you get entangled in my stories. I'm wacky like that, thanks for reading and keep reviewing.
