AN: BTVS doesn't belong to me.
Lilith was in the back room of the Magic Box hitting away at the punching bag. She was waiting for Faith or Buffy to come in the small shop. Buffy was busy at school while Faith had her therapy session. The psychologist thought that the two brunettes might open up more if they didn't think the other could hear them through the door. After they returned from the hospital, Faith tried to convince Joyce that she should go somewhere else and double check her diagnoses and with a little help from the other Summers she agreed. Buffy had called in a favor with Angel to watch over her while she visited a hospital there in Los Angeles. Giles persuaded Joyce to let him help pay for some of the medical bills feeling like he owed it to his slayer's mother.
The brunette teenager was so focused on hitting the bag that she didn't noticed that someone entered the room until they put a hand on her shoulder. Lilith reacted automatically by grabbing the arm and forcing the intruder to the ground. Finally noticing that the person was Tara, she let go and backed away scared like the blonde might start beating her.
"I'm sorry, Lilith. I didn't mean to startle you." The blonde witch apologized, which was new for Lilith to hear. "What were you thinking about that had you zoning out so badly?"
"It's nothing just haven't been sleeping well." Lilith tried to dismiss.
"Are you sure you don't want to talk about it?" Tara tried to get the teenager to open.
"Yes, it's not a problem that I can tell." The cloned slayer said trying to divert the subject again.
"Look, I know that you still feel that you have to be what the Initiative wanted you to be but don't be afraid to let go of the apathy and start enjoying something in your life." Tara commented with sincerity
"You and Faith are both saying the same thing but I can't get any answers about what I should be if I can't be how I've always been. I don't get this world." Lilith stated shaking her head.
"Lilith, no one can answer you about what you should be. Your actions are what help you understand the path you will take in life." The blonde remarked sympathetically.
Across town, Faith was itching to get out of there. The whole time Faith was dismissing questions or just straight out ignoring them. While reading Faith's body language about her questions regarding why she tried to ruin Buffy, Amy thought that she had found a way to get Faith to start talking more about her problems.
"So while you were trying to make Buffy suffer, did you ever once stop being attracted to her?" the Scottish doctor questioned and Faith's eyes went wide.
"What, what are you talking about? I wasn't attracted to her and I was trying to ruin her life." Faith stammered looking everywhere but at the doctor.
"Faith, there is nothing wrong with liking Buffy. From what I've heard, she is quite a person to be around." Doctor Pond tried to calm the brunette's agitated state.
"Look, I don't like B that way." Faith sounded like she was trying to convince herself.
AN: It's another short one I know. I need to be able to function at work but I really wanted to get a chapter up. I'm sorry again it's not longer. But please review and tell me what you think.
