Far Away Chapter 1, a buffy: the vampire slayer fanfic

Dawn was slipping on her jeans and shoes on when Buffy walked into her room. "Dawn, where are you going?"

"I'm going to the Bronze. I heard a new band was playing and I hoped you would come and check them out with me. Please?" Dawn said as she grabbed her jacket.

"Fine. Lets go." Buffy said and they walked down to the living room and saw Willow and Xander. "Hey, Dawn and I are going to the Bronze, you guys wanna go?"

"Sure." Xander said as he grabbed his car keys and drove to the Bronze.

When they walked in, they noticed the band setting up and Buffy watched as Dawn slipped away from them and went to talk to one of the band members. When she came back, she looked at her sister. "What were you doing?"

"Seeing if I was right about there being a new band and yeah I was. There name is Chosen. Sounds cool, lets just see if they are good." Dawn said as Buffy went to get a drink and the she looked up and noticed the band getting ready to play and the lead singer walking to the mic.

When Buffy came back she noticed one of the members that looked like Faith, then she relized it was Faith. She went to go to her, but Dawn stopped her and the rest of the gang and made them sit down at a table by the stage. Dawn smiled at Faith and she smiled back. Buffy noticed Faith's appearence for the first time, and saw Faith had her lip and eyebrow pierced, so did the other guitarist. She noticed Faith got a few more tattoos also.

She watched as Faith walked up to the mic. "Hey, we're new in town and I'm not sure if this is a permanent home for us or what, so hope you enjoy the performance. Anyways, we are Chosen and I'm Faith, on lead guitarist thats Kennedy, on the drums thats Tj, and on bass thats Kacey. A few of these songs we wrote, well, I wrote, and the others they wrote. The first two are really important to me and I wanna dedicate these to someone spencial and they know who they are."

The band started playing as Faith sat on the stool by the mic with an accoustic guitar on her lap.

This time, This place
Misused, Mistakes
Too long, Too late
Who was I to make you wait
Just one chance
Just one breath
Just in case there's just one left
'Cause you know,
you know, you know

That I love you
I have loved you all along
And I miss you
Been far away for far too long
I keep dreaming you'll be with me
and you'll never go
Stop breathing if
I don't see you anymore

On my knees, I'll ask
Last chance for one last dance
'Cause with you, I'd withstand
All of hell to hold your hand
I'd give it all
I'd give for us
Give anything but I won't give up
'Cause you know,
you know, you know

That I love you
I have loved you all along
And I miss you
Been far away for far too long
I keep dreaming you'll be with me
and you'll never go
Stop breathing if
I don't see you anymore

So far away
Been far away for far too long
So far away
Been far away for far too long
But you know, you know, you know

I wanted
I wanted you to stay
'Cause I needed
I need to hear you say
That I love you
I have loved you all along
And I forgive you
For being away for far too long
So keep breathing
'Cause I'm not leaving
Hold on to me and
never let me go

The crowd started clapping and Buffy's looked Faith in the eyes and Buffy had tears in her eyes from listening to Faith's words. Faith gave Buffy a smile and then spoke in the mic again. "Okay this next song is called Savin' Me and this is for the same person."

Prison gates won't open up for me
On these hands and knees I'm crawlin'
Oh, I reach for you
Well I'm terrified of these four walls
These iron bars can't hold my soul in
All I need is you
Come please I'm callin'
And oh I scream for you
Hurry I'm fallin'

Show me what it's like
To be the last one standing
And teach me wrong from right
And I'll show you what I can be
Say it for me
Say it to me
And I'll leave this life behind me
Say it if it's worth saving me

Heaven's gates won't open up for me
With these broken wings I'm fallin'
And all I see is you
These city walls ain't got no love for me
I'm on the ledge of the eighteenth story
And oh I scream for you
Come please I'm callin'
And all I need from you
Hurry I'm fallin'

Hurry I'm fallin'

When Faith finished the song, she smiled and then handed the guitar to a man who was standing off stage who in return handed her her Dean electric guitar. She walked back to the mic. "Okay the next songs we play are some of our favorites that we wrote when we were bored off our asses."

Brothers and sisters put this record down
Take my advice ('cause we are bad news)
We will leave you high and dry
It's not worth the hearing you'll lose

It's just past 8 and I'm feeling young and reckless
The ribbon on my wrist says, "Do not open before Christmas."

We're only liars, but we're the best (we're the best)
We're only good for the latest trends
We're only good cause you can have almost famous friends
Besides, we've got such good fashion sense

Brothers and sisters, yeah, put these words down
Into your notebook (spit lines like these)
We're friends when you're on your knees
Make them dance like we were shooting their feet

It's just past 8 and I'm feeling young and reckless
The ribbon on my wrist says, "Do not open before Christmas."

We're only liars, but we're the best (we're the best)
We're only good for the latest trends
We're only good cause you can have almost famous friends
Besides, we've got such good fashion sense

We're only liars, but we're the best
We're only good for the latest trends

We're only liars, but we're the best
We're only good for the latest trends
We're only good cause you can have almost famous friends
Besides, we've got such good fashion sense

The crowd exploded with cheering and screaming for more. Faith smiled. "Okay. Calm down. I think we are gonna play two more songs and then we are out of here. So this is 7 Minutes in Heavan, and its pretty big on our record, so here it goes."

I'm sleeping my way out of this one
With anyone who will lie down
I'll be stuck fixated on one star
When the world is crashing down

I keep telling myself
I keep telling myself
I'm not the desperate type
But you've got me looking in through blinds
I'm sitting out dances on the wall
Trying to forget everything that isn't you
I'm not going home alone
Cause I don't do too well on my own

The only thing worse than not knowing
Is you thinking that I don't know
I'm having another episode
I just need a stronger dose

"Okay. Yea, that was 7 Minutes in Heavan. This is Fight For All The Wrong Reasons, and Kennedy wrote this."

Well I wanted you
I wanted no one else
I thought it through
I got you to myself
You got off
Every time you got on to me
I got caught up
In favorable slavery

Was it wrong? Was it wrong?

I guess it wasn't really right
I guess it wasn't meant to be
It didn't matter what they said
'Cause we were good in bed
I guess I stuck around so I could watch us fight
for all the wrong reasons
No, it didn't matter what I tried
It's just a little hard to leave
When you're going down on me
I guess I stuck around so I could watch us fight
for all the wrong reasons

Well you know my friends
Well they know your enemies
I'd pretend
Not to hear what they said to me
'Cause I got off
Every time you got on to me
Was it wrong
To go along with insanity?

Was it wrong? Was it wrong?

for all the wrong reasons

Faith smiled that sexy smile Buffy loved as she leaned into the mic. "Ha. I'm sure you all know this next song, since its the biggest hit on our record." The crowd burst into cheering and applauding, Faith laughed, and Buffy was thinking, 'Faith has a record.'

I, I'm driving black on black
Just got my license back
I got this feeling in my veins this train is coming off the track
I'll ask polite if the devil needs a ride
Because the angel on my right ain't hanging out with me tonight
I'm driving past your house while you were sneaking out
I got the car door opened up so you can jump in on the run
Your mom don't know that you were missing
She'd be pissed if she could see the parts of you that I've been kissing
Screamin'

No, we're never gonna quit
Ain't nothing wrong with it
Just acting like we're animals
No, no matter where we go
'Cause everybody knows
We're just a couple of animals

So come on baby, get in
Get in, just get in
Check out the trouble we're in

You're beside me on the seat
Got your hand between my knees
And you control how fast we go by just how hard you wanna squeeze
It's hard to steer when you're breathing in my ear
But I got both hands on the wheel while you got both hands on my gears
By now, no doubt that we were heading south
I guess nobody ever taught her not to speak with a full mouth
'Cause this was it, like flicking on a switch
It felt so good I almost drove into the ditch
I'm screamin'

No, we're never gonna quit
Ain't nothing wrong with it
Just acting like we're animals
No, no matter where we go
'Cause everybody knows
We're just a couple of animals

So come on baby, get in
Get in, just get in
Look at the trouble we're in

We were parked out by the tracks
We're sitting in the back
And we just started getting busy
When she whispered "what was that?"
The wind, I think 'cause no one else knows where we are
And that was when she started screamin'
"That's my dad outside the car!"
Oh please, the keys, they're not in the ignition
Must have wound up on the floor while
we were switching our positions
I guess they knew that she was missing
As I tried to tell her dad it was her mouth that I was kissing
Screamin'

No, we're never gonna quit
Ain't nothing wrong with it
Just acting like we're animals
No, no matter where we go
'Cause everybody knows
We're just a couple animals

So come on baby, get in
We're just a couple of animals
Get in, just get in
Ain't nothing wrong with it
Check out the trouble we're in
Get in, just get in

The crowd exploded into applauding and whistling, making as much noise as they could. "Okay, thats it for tonight. Have fun." Faith said as the other guitarist walked towards Faith and they left the stage and started packing and carrying everything to the van at the back.

Faith jumped when she felt someone hug her, turning around, and was face to face with a smiling Dawn. Faith enveloped Dawn into big hug leaving Dawn's feet not touching the ground. They started laughing when they broke apart. "I can't believe you are finally here. All I've been doing was listening to your cd that came out and waiting for you to get here."

"D, I know. I was so afraid to come here, and I kept reading your letters over and over again until Kennedy told me I was coming willingly or she was gonna chain me up, and throw me into the back of the van." Faith said and the other band members came to get in the front of the van. "Oh, guys wait. This is Dawn, one of my best friends. Dawn, these are my other friends, Kacey and Tj. They are our lesbian couple, while K and I are single. Oh. This is my sister Kennedy."

Kennedy smiled and shook Dawn's hand. "Nice meeting you." She then looked at Faith. "Tj and Kacey are leaving, so you wanna stay for a while and then ride our bikes to a hotel." They watched the van leave.

"Yeah, that is cool with me. Is Buffy still in there?" Faith asked and recieved a nod. "I'm scared."
