Now nearing the end of the story. sniff I don't like ending stories. This isn't the last chapter though :-)

Chapter 7

Willow ran down the road, chasing her girlfriend who was walking pretty fast, indicating that she was very angry. Red caught up to Kennedy and grabbed her arm, "Kennedy please stop!" Kennedy pulled her arm away and continued to walk. "Kennedy baby, can we just talk about this?" Willow stopped, deciding it was no use, Kennedy wasn't going to stop and talk any time soon.

To Willow's surprise, her girlfriend did stop, a few meters away. She didn't turn though. she seemed to be looking at something. Willow tried to see what it was, but she couldn't, as it was dark. Just as Willow started walking towards her, Kennedy took off again, this time running. Willow knew what was going on now, "Kennedy don't!" She started running too.

Tara had a lovely evening with Willow. They had take-away and ate it in her motel room. Willow had left her jacket behind and she decided she'd better return it. Tara turned onto Willow's street, which was quite dark, one of the street lights wasn't working properly, it kept flickering, and another one wasn't working at all. She had only just turned onto that street when she heard a voice, that sounded like Willow's, yelling down the street. The next thing she knew, she was on the ground and her face was throbbing.

Kennedy was standing over the top of her, but not for long. Willow reached them and pushed Kenney out of the way. "Scott, are you ok?" Tara sat up and held her hand to her face, just below her left eye, "I-I think so y-yeah."

Willow turned to Kennedy, she was furious, she looked even angrier than Kennedy did. She tried to say something, but nothing would come out of her mouth. Instead, she burst into tears. Kennedy's face softened straight away and tried to put her arm around her girlfriend, but Willow brushed her arm off. Tara didn't know what to do, with Kennedy standing less than four feet away, she didn't think it woult be smart to do anything. Willow looked at both Tara and Kennedy and took off running towards home. Kennedy looked at Tara coldly before following Willow.

Willow reached the house and raced upstairs. She shut herself in the bedroom and sat on the bed bawling her eyes out. Kennedy knocked on the door before entering. She closed the door behind her and stood in front of Willow. "Willow, please tell me what's wrong. What is happening?"

"I don't know, I'm so confused!" Kennedy sat down on the bed beside Willow, but didn't try putting her arm around her. "I thought I was gay, but here I am falling in love with a guy," These words hurt her and anger flared back up in Kennedy, but she knew she couldn't act out again. She wanted what was best for Willow.

"So I suppose this is it then."

Tara had gone straight back home after that incident and grabbed some frozen peas from the freezer to put on her face. She sat down and thought about what was happening and she started to feel bad. She felt bad that she was trying to take Willow away from Kennedy when Kennedy obviously loved Willow. She was being selfish and decided to give up. She had her time on earth with Willow, it ended and now it was Kennedy's time. She would leave and everything would go back to normal. This wasn't what she wanted, but this was how it was supposed to be. Tara sighed and fought back the tears.

A knock on the door startled Tara, who was curled up on her bed, off with the fairies. She stood up and walked to the door, wondering who it could be that late at night. Standing in the doorway was Willow. Her eyes were puffy, her nose was red and her cheeks were tear-stained. "Willow...Hi. Umm...C-come it," Tara stood to the side and let Willow in, she closed the door behind her then turned to face her guest. "I was coming before t-to drop off your jacket, you l-left it here," She pointed to the back of the chair, which was by the bed, where the jacket was laying. Willow looked, then turned back to Tara.

"Kennedy and I broke up," Half of Tara was jumping for joy, they other was feeling guilty,

"I-I'm really sorry, I never meant for any of this to happen..." Willow took a step closer to Tara and Tara's sentence trailed off. The red head reached out and put her hand on Tara's face, she smiled and went in for the kiss.
