Chapter 17

A couple months had passed now and Buffy couldn't help but feel like she was about to go crazy if Elijah didn't talk to her. She understood what she did was wrong but now she knew it meant nothing, the only person that meant anything to her was in the other room and wouldn't even look at her.

Willow was with the witches trying to get the rest of the moonlight rings to work properly, Faith had to go take care of the vampire problem in Virginia and Rebekah was who knows where. All Buffy knew was that Rebekah wasn't there so that just left her and Elijah alone in the house. So she took a deep breath and walked out of her room. She seen him sitting on the couch with a drink in his hand, as soon as he saw her he pretended like he was concentrating on something.

She walked around the couch and sat next to him, which was something she knew he wouldn't expect because she had done her best to give him his space. He still didn't look in her direction. She took the glass from his hand and sat it down on the table.

"Look at me Elijah" She pleaded with him.

When he finally did, the entire speech that Buffy had been practicing was gone, everything that she was wanting to say to him was on the tip of her tongue but she couldn't get it out. All she could do was stare into his beautiful hazel brown eyes.

When she was finally able to speak it wasn't anything that she had planned on saying it wasn't something she had even thought about until that moment, as soon as it left her lips she knew it was true "I love you Elijah"

He didn't move, he didn't say anything back to her.

She swallowed and then said "I'm sorry, that's not actually what I was planning on saying, I had this whole speech prepared and everything but as soon as I sat down I couldn't remember a word of it all I could feel what was in here" She put her hand over her heart "I hadn't realized until this moment but I do, I do love you but I know I messed up and I know it will take you time to forgive me and take all of it that you need but don't forget I'll always be here waiting."

She stood up and walked away from him, she half expected him to stop her but he didn't. By the time she was back in her room she was in a full blown sob. She laid on her bed and just let the tears come, there was no reason to stop them.

When she heard a knock on the door, she couldn't help but think maybe he was finally coming to her but when she opened the door it was just Rebekah.

As soon as she saw her she put her arms around her "Hey what's wrong?"

They sat down and she told her what had happened with Elijah. She told her how stupid she felt now, she poured her heart to him and he didn't say a word to her. Rebekah tried to comfort her but nothing seemed to work. So Rebekah decided the next best thing was throw a party and get drunk, really drunk. She thought of Faith right then wishing she was there to, she sure knows how to party. Buffy agreed to let her throw the party but she didn't want it to big. Rebekah said she would take care of everything all Buffy needed to do was get dressed and Rebekah had the perfect dress for that as well.

Buffy didn't hesitate to put the dress on, it was shorter than what she normally wore but it wasn't as bad as the one Faith had her wear to the club the first night they were in New Orleans. Buffy noticed immediately that Elijah wasn't home, she couldn't help but let it damper her mood a little. So she started drinking early. Her being a slayer she had a higher tolerance to alcohol than humans did but she can get drunk and she planned on doing just that that night.

By the time the guests started showing up Buffy had started feeling tipsy already. When Willow seen her she knew right away that something was wrong. But she didn't want to talk about it so she told Willow they'd talk about it later. Willow understood that she didn't want to talk but told her she needed to limit the amount of alcohol she consumed she didn't need to get that drunk.

At that time Rebekah came over "Just let her have this, she's had a rough day."

The way Willow looked at Rebekah was the same way she had looked at Elijah when they first met and before she even thought about what she was about to say she blurted out "Oh my, you like her don't you Will?"

She seen her best friend's cheeks turn bright red.

"Oh shoot, I'm sorry I didn't mean to say that out loud." Buffy told her "Don't be mad at me to"

By the way Rebekah was looking at Willow this was something that was new to her, she must not have realized that Willow seemed to have a thing for her until Buffy opened her big mouth.

"But what about Kennedy… I thought you loved her… You don't want to do something stupid like me and ruin any chance you have at happiness…" Buffy said to her best friend, holding her in a hug.

"Buff me and Kennedy broke up, a while ago actually, do you think I would have stayed here as long as I have if we were still together?" Willow told her trying to get out of Buffy's super hold hug.

"Aww I'm so sorry Will, I didn't know, how did I not know that, I'm a horrible friend" She finally let Willow go.

She grabbed Rebekah's hand and placed it in Willows, "please take good care of my friend ok, she needs someone like you that pays attention to her like she deserves."

She walked away from the two of them and then ended up on the balcony overlooking the party. She looked down at everyone having a good time. Willow and Rebekah still stood next to each other, no longer holding hands though.

She took a big gulp of her drink them said "excuse me everyone I have something to say."

The music turned off "I want to thank you all for coming here today, this was supposed to make me happy but I'm afraid it's just made me sadder"

"You know I live here with the most awesome people ever, I have my best friends Willow and Faith, which unfortunately couldn't be here tonight and then I have the Mikaelson's"

"Rebekah was a little rough around the edges at first, we butted heads a lot but now I don't know where my life would be without her, she has become one of my closest friends, she's helped me through so much, and I feel she really understands me"

"and Elijah is one of the greatest men I've ever met, we hit it off immediately and I've never felt a connection with anyone else like I do with him, but I made a horrible horrible mistake and lost his trust, I know I don't deserve his forgiveness but I really hope one day I will get it, these last few months being here I feel like I've finally made a home for myself but I don't think I will ever truly feel like I belong until he can forgive me, I've loved before but it never felt like this, this intense, and it never hurt this bad being separated from him" Buffy took a breath "I love you Elijah wherever you are" then turned around and walked into the house.
