Tree Hill Slayer

Chapter 7

Buffy tried so hard to fall back to sleep, but she just couldn't. The things that Whistler said to her wouldn't leave her thoughts.

She wanted to have at least a few months without worrying about pending Apocalypses and demons. Was it really too much to ask?

Angelus and Angel flooded her mind again, and she couldn't stop the tears. It hurt too much. Buffy felt like her whole world crumbled down on her and she just wasn't ready to see this new world destroyed too. Damn Whistler and his warning.

Couldn't stupid demons just leave her alone!?

After an hour or crying and thinking about the past, Buffy decided to stop feeling sorry for herself. It was a new day, in a new town, and she needed to get a grip and move on.

It was just six in the morning when she decided to have a cup of coffee, and hoped Peyton and Brooke would wake up soon. 'Brooke... Oh my god, how am I gonna face her?'-Buffy thought, she'd never been in a situation like that before.

She could handle the demons just fine, but when it was about her feelings and insecurities, she was just a scared little girl.

"Ugh...headacheee..."-Brooke mumbled while rubbing her eyes. She looked around, Peyton was dead to the world... Buffy wasn't there...

"Buffy... Holy shit!"-Brooke whispered to herself when she remembered the kisses. She wasn't gay, she never had feelings for another girl, but those kisses were good! It was just harmless fun, nothing wrong with it!

Brooke got up and decided to go downstairs to find a pill for headache... and see if Buffy was awake.

Buffy was watching cartoons when Brooke got downstairs. She'd changed into a white tank top, her black bra was visible through it, and jeans. They looked at each other, said "Good morning!" and even though they were both pretty good at babbling like mad, they had no idea what else to say. There was this weird tension between them, and even though they tried to act normal, it wasn't really working.

Brooke was busy going through the drawers, looking for pills, but she kept glancing at Buffy when she thought Buffy wasn't looking. Buffy was doing the same thing and the silence got really awkward.
Just to say something, Buffy asked: "What are you looking for?"

"Uh... pills. Got a killer headache!"

"Umm, Brooke... About last night... I don't want things to be awkward between us."-Buffy just had to say because it was bugging her. She just got to Tree Hill and didn't want to have weird relationships at the very start.

"You're reading my mind, blondie. I'm not gay or anything, but it was fun... I don't want things to be awkward either. So, we cool?"

"We're cool."-Buffy said, smiling. A stone fell from her heart.

"Bingo!"-said Brooke when she finally found a pill. She sat on the couch next to Buffy and asked:

"So, this abusive bastard you were with... he's not bothering you anymore?"-Brooke asked. Abusive guys made her sick, and Buffy seemed like a really nice girl.

"No... don't worry about it. It's ok... still a bit fresh, but... I'll be ok."

"I'm sorry about it. And I thought being in a love triangle with my best friend was bad. Well, trust me, if this guy comes to look for you here, we'll all gang up and kick his stupid ass!"-Brooke said and gently squeezed Buffy's thigh.

"Aww, thanks! I don't think he'll bother me anymore, though. Do you wanna go shopping with me later? I wanna try to find a job, too."

"I'd love to! Girl, I love shopping! I see we're gonna be best buddies!"-Brooke grinned, it was so easy to like Buffy, she couldn't believe how fast they started getting along.

"There's no heartbreak that can't be healed by a nice pair of shoes!"-Buffy joked and Brooke giggled, and high-fived her.

"Couldn't agree more! I could totally kiss you now!"

"Wouldn't be the first time!"-Buffy couldn't help shooting back and she was glad that Brooke just smiled and lifted her eyebrow, looking entertained and intrigued at the same time.

"You're a tease, Winters!"-Brooke said Buffy felt a pang of guilt because she lied about her last name.

"I see your headache is not as bad anymore... Shopping talk must have helped it."-Buffy couldn't help teasing and Brooke hit her over her head with a pillow.

"If your head starts hurting now, we'll be quite a pair!"

"You're totally flirting with me, Davis..."

"Am not. Pompous much?"

"Right, right..."

"Trust me, Buffy, you'd know if I was flirting..."

"Oh yeah? How's that?"

"Cause I'd do this..."-Brooke said and kissed Buffy slowly.

Buffy kissed her back and smiled. "Good one, Brooke...good one."

"I am always good. Remember that!"-Brooke said, winked and smiled again, and then she ran upstairs to wake up Peyton, she was dying to go shopping. It would help her stop thinking about Buffy's kisses. It was weird beyond words that she actually felt kind of attracted to the blonde girl.

Besides, having Buffy around would totally help her get over Lucas, another blonde thing that made her world spin.

'I must have a thing for blondes.'-Brooke thought as she picked up the pillow to hit Peyton with it.

Buffy was sitting on the couch, smiling to herself and waving her head in disbelief... Brooke kissed her again. What did that mean?

Screw thinking what it all means... Girls just wanna have fun.-Buffy concluded and finished her, already cold coffee, with a smile.
