Without any hesitation she drank it, all of it at once. "Ew, so gross, oh god, Faith!" Faith poured her another drink. "Oh you know what else we should do, tomorrow? Go to the beach. When was the last time you went to the beach? Come on, be honest." Faith simply shrugged and poured herself another drink, her fifth glass.
"Wow, deja vú, well not so much actually. It was beer and it's not a great story. You don't know what went down on graduation day, do you, except the whole 'me-killing-your-boss-thing.' I've got to tell you, people really don't like snakes. But hey, guess what. I got my diploma. I can look back and say that there's one thing I did finish, I graduated high school. I survived. Oh and hey." Buffy paused to drink up what she had left. "Did I tell you about Glory? The God from hell who thought she'd live forever, crushed by a wrecking ball, huh. Even I thought she was immortal. Anyway, so I jumped off this tower, to close the portal, because guess what? It needs the blood of a Slayer, so, I jumped and I died and, I was happy.
My friends, they pulled me out, sucked me back into this world, into this fucking life I'm so tired of living. Then I boinked the undead, again. Just to feel, to feel something. But it wasn't enough, it's never enough. Do you know what I'm talking about?" Faith nodded,; 'What a lightweight' she thought and handed her the bottle.
"And I know, I know that this shit isn't going to help me feel. All it does is ease the pain, for a while." Faith walked over to her fellow Slayer and stroked her hair as Buffy drank right out of the bottle for a solid minute, before Faith took it away. "Sorry, it makes it easier to breathe, to stay alive a little longer."
Faith wanted to cry, she never knew Buffy felt like this, she never knew she felt exactly like her.
"B, you know you can talk to me. I know it's hard and that you don't want to be here…" Buffy just stared into space. "We should paint this place blue, like the ocean, tomorrow."
Their smiles were gone. "B, you keep talking about tomorrow. Try to understand that this is tonight."
