Prison gates won't open up for me
On these hands and knees I'm crawling
Oh, I reach for you

It's been so long since the day I betrayed my friends.

Since the day I turned myself in.

Since the day I broke out.

Since the day I watched my friends fall.

And since the day I watched Robin slowly die.

To me, it's as if I never escaped prison. And in truth I haven't.

Well I'm terrified of these four walls
These iron bars can't hold my soul in
All I need is you

I went to L.A after the last battle, but I never told him. I couldn't tell him.

He was still mourning her. Both of them and yet someone else. Who? I don't know. One dead, the other……dating the enemy, and last, I'll probably never know.

"Faith," he sighed walking up to my crying figure.

"Angel?" I asked softly.

"Faith,"

"Angel…..I…"

"Sh….Faith, I understand," he said cutting me off as he put his arms around me.

I crumpled in his arms, letting him take all my tears, as I finally broke down the internal prison that I had known for so long.

Come please I'm calling
And oh I scream for you
Hurry I'm falling
I'm falling

"How did you find me?" I ask him when we get to his apartment.

"I followed your scent. It's unique, it's like vanilla, musky arousal, and a side of tangy fear," He growled softly from deep within his throat.

"Was that you or Angelus?" I asked smirking.

"I think it was a little bit of both," He said blushing, as he burrowed into my neck.

"Angel," I heard myself moan.

No! He's Buffy's and Cordelia's. Bad Faith, and yet I don't want it to stop.

"Wait….Angel, don't," I sigh sadly.

"What's wrong Faith?" He asked worriedly.

"Us Angel, I can't hurt Buffy and Cordie like this,"

"Oh……..I see," He says sadly.

"And besides you don't love me, never have," And I smiled softly as I walked away.

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
And say it for me
Say it to me
And I'll leave this life behind me
Say it if it's worth savin' me

What has Buffy done to you Faith?

I ask myself as I take another drag from my cigarette.

Whatever she's done to me, I don't think I like it.

Badass Faith went soft for a girl.
What's next? Angel coming into to sweep me off my feet again?

And almost as if on cue, he did.

"Faith….I need to talk to you,"

"A lot of people do Angel-Cakes. But I don't need to talk to them,"

"Angel-Cakes? Only Lor……That's beside the point," He sighed shaking softly. "We need to talk."

"No Angel, we don't. And by the way, Lorne-yeah I know Lorne-he's doing well, and told me to call you that," I said as I started walking off.

"Wait, Faith……I love you," He called after me.

"What!" I asked whipping around.

"I love you Faith,"

"Angel….." I warned. He didn't care, he just kissed me.

And I was in heaven for just a moment.

Heaven's gates won't open up for me
With these broken wings I'm falling
And all I see is you

But that to was just another fragile dream, and you're still with her. You still love her, through and through.

And I still love you.

"Angel," I sobbed.

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 calling
And all I need from you
Hurry I'm falling
I'm falling

How much does it take for a slayer to die? We can't die from blood loss-we heal to fast. We have to die other ways. And I've decided to drown. You had hated the water since the time your son locked you in a metal box and left you there for months.

You wouldn't risk trying to save me. You don't love me.

"Faith!" I heard you scream as I almost threw myself off the cold railing.

"Go away Angel……You can't stop me. I've made my choice," And with that, I jumped.

"Faith!" You scram running to the edge of the bridge, and trying to catch me. I smiled softly as I hit the water.

"Faith!" I scram watching her teeter along the edge of the bridge.

"Go away Angel…….You can't stop me. I've made my choice" She sighed as she closed her eyes and jumped.

"Faith!" I scram running to the edge to catch you. I watched you smile as you hit the water.

"I love you," I whispered to myself, as I collapsed

And all I need is you
Come please I'm calling
And oh I scream for you
Hurry I'm falling
I'm falling
I'm falling

" I love you Faith……I always have. I'm sorry I didn't tell you soon enough," I said as I watched them lower you into the ground.

"I love you to Angel-Cakes" I could've sworn I heard you say as your famous smirk lit up your face.
