Sorry I've been gone so long
Ch. 2
She stood looking at herself in the mirror, she was constantly hearing how no one recognized her anymore 'good' she thought to her self, she didn't want to be recognized she was no longer Buffy's little sister…. She was no longer little. She smirked at her self in the mirror, all the slayer training she had done with the potentials had done her body good, her chest had filled out to it full potential (an almost over flowing D cup), you could clearly make out her ribs and her hip bones protruded from her flesh. "Dinner!" a voice called down the hall towards her room "Be out in a minute" she called back. She threw on a pair of oversized track pants and a grey t-shirt that fit like a second skin. She shivered as her bare feet touched the cheap tiles in her apartment "What'cha cookin' Tar?" she asked resting her chin on the blonde woman's shoulder.
"Spaghetti" she smiled, a small blush playing on the older woman's cheeks "Good ol'Tara" she smiled to herself
"Hey, I need a new song! What one do you think I should dance to babe?" she asked flipping her insanely long hair over one shoulder looking at their cd collection
"What's wrong with the song you have now?" Tara asked setting the table
"I dance almost every night baby, you know how boring Nickleback's Animal gets after almost 2 months of playing it?"
"I guess it would get rather annoying" Tara agreed, she nodded "How about you dish while I look?" she nodded standing up, she handed the cds to Tara before heading to the kitchen "How about this one?" Tara yelled, she piled spaghetti on to their plates waiting for the song to start; she could hear it softly as it began not really registering what song it was until Tara turned it up as the lyrics began
Hey little sister what have you done
Hey little sister who's the only one
Hey little sister who's your superman
Hey little sister who's the one you want
Hey little sister shot gun!
The spoon in her hand fell to the floor
It's a nice day to start again
It's a nice day for a white wedding
It's a nice day to start again.
Hey little sister what have you done
Hey little sister who's the only one
I've been away for so long (so long)
I've been away for so long (so long)
I let you go for so long
Tears pricked at her eyes as she reached down to pick up the spoon
It's a nice day to start again (come on)
It's a nice day for a white wedding
It's a nice day to start again.
Take me back home
There is nothin' fair in this world
There is nothin' safe in this world
And there's nothin' sure in this world
And there's nothin' pure in this world
Look for something left in this world
Start again
Come on
His face flashed in her mind as all the memories she fought to suppress once again resurfaced
It's a nice day for a white wedding
It's a nice day to start again.
It's a nice day for a white wedding
It's a nice day to start again
Unnoticed tears fell form her eyes as she watched him turn away from her and walk down the street not once looking back as she screamed his name after him. "Dawn?" Tara's voice brought her out of her thoughts "Dawn what's wrong?"
"Nothing just haven't been able to listen to this song for a long time" she admitted
"Because of Sp-" Dawn stopped her from saying his name by pressing her finger to the blonde witches lips.
"How about we have dinner before I have to go to work" she smiled whipping the tearstains form her face. Tara nodded wondering why Spike leaving had such an effect on Dawn, sure they had gotten close when Buffy had died but when Buffy came back it was as if they hated each other, Dawn had even threatened to set him on fire in his sleep. Tara shook her head and sat down to her dinner.
