Chapter 4
"Hey B, back to back visits. I wasn't expecting you until next month." Faith commented as she sat down.
"Considering how you ended our last conversation, you shouldn't be that surprised." Buffy replied back.
"I'll give you that, but if you hadn't shut me out when you did, you'd know what you want about me." Faith countered.
"I don't want to fight with you. I just want to know you please." Buffy pleaded.
"You want to know what's crazy? Even after everything that's happened, I still love you." Faith asked and answered for the older girl.
"Faith, I don't…" Buffy started, but Lehane stopped her.
"You don't have to say or respond to that. I just needed to put that out there." Faith explained.
"I'm just beginning to realize how badly I hurt you. I'm sorry." Buffy apologized.
"We hurt each other enough. I don't want that anymore." Faith told her counterpart.
"I don't want that either." Buffy replied..
"My earliest memories are that of being hungry and cold. My dad was never in the picture. I don't remember my mother taking care of me. I would clean up her messes. There was hardly any food in the kitchen. Plenty of booze. Always booze and drugs. Then she'd have her many boyfriends coming and going." Faith told Buffy.
"I had no idea." Buffy whispered.
"We're out of time, B. Come back next week Buffy. I have more to tell you. Jane will be here too, it'll be easier for me with her here." Faith said as she stood to leave. Buffy watched as she walked out of the room.
