Chapter 5
A/N: K… so you ever have those times where you COMPLETELY forget about something… and then you suddenly remember like two months later while making nachos? Yea… that was this. And lemme tell you I AM SO VERY VERY SORRY. And now to end the suspense of the last chapter… Also there may be Hellmouth stuff but it is still most definitely AU. So people can like each other, even love each other even if they didn't in the show.
Previously on These Four Walls:
"You're not the only one."
"This the last of it?" Buffy asked as Willow and Tara came out carrying a couple bags and boxes the gang had come equipped with.
"Yep! Let's get out of here before…" Willow shut down and that's when everyone else noticed the new comer.
Danny Maclay
"The hell is this?!" Danny asked "Tara who are these people, where do you think you're going?" Danny started forward to grab Tara and somebody else stepped out of the shadows and punched him in the face causing Tara to flinch uncomfortably.
"Not so fast" A Bostonian accent said
"Faith!" Buffy ran towards the owner of the accent before grabbing her in a hug. "I thought you weren't coming?"
"Miss me that much, B? I thought I'd stop by, lend a hand, make sure nobody tailed ya, also figured I'd take a chance and help a friend out."
"I always knew you were a big ol' softie, Faith" Willow remarked with a grin causing the gang to laugh and Faith to slay Willow with just her brown eyes.
"Okay laugh times over, we should really get goin' before meathead wakes up" Faith spoke gloomily and everyone went to their respective vehicles.
As everyone pulled up to the Rosenberg residence Tara suddenly felt like it maybe wasn't such a good idea but Willow just nudged and kissed her cheek making her feel a little bit better though worry still gnawed her gut. She saw the way everyone interacted and felt very out of place in such a tight knit group of friends, she didn't feel like one of the Gang yet. Buffy walked up to the side of the car Willow and Tara occupied and noticed Tara's face.
"What's up kiddo? You know I see this face you're making and it says 'uncomfortable' and 'out of place' but you definitely have place in this group and definitely should feel welcome, so calm, your part of our little family now." she spoke low enough so that only Tara heard and Willow didn't pry knowing Buffy wouldn't do anything to push Tara away from her. Willow walked to the front steps and unlocked the door and almost instantly everyone began moving boxes to Willows room.
"Jesus Christ, man, what's in this box, oxen?" Xander grunted as he passed "I do not remember this being so heavy"
"Man up, Xan-man" Xander glared at his red-headed best friend as he stumbled up the stairs, Willow walked over to Tara chuckling to herself.
"A-Are you sure your p-parents will be o-okay with this?"
"Yeah well, I didn't really ask but it's easier to ask forgiveness than permission, and, uh, they're never home anymore and when they are it's not like they pay attention to me its always 'Work work work'. Don't worry about it, Tare"
Somehow Tara was finding it hard not to worry.
A/N: This is really short I know I am sorry but I thought this chapter was written and I realized it was only sort of a little bit done (aka I only had violence from Faith to Junior) also I was eating nachos while writing this and I do NOT recommend doing that. Enjoy this really short shoddy chapter until I can write more. I'm kinda lacking in the inspiration department and I'm also school. Also kudos to anyone who notices the reference I made. Hugs and apologies to all. 3
