the hospital

thx for the reviews i've gotten so far. second part is up. i have no clue how long this story is gonna be but i guess as long as you enjoy it i'll update it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Buffy walked into the hospital and straight to Faith’s room, she had been there a couple of times the past week. Without the gang of course, they hated Faith even though they didn’t know her.

She walked past a gift shop and decided to get Faith a small teddy bear, the room looked so bare otherwise. She had brought in some flowers the other day but she needed to get some new ones soon. ‘Will do that tomorrow when mom helps me to get Faith’s stuff.’

Buffy stepped into Faith’s room, it hadn’t been changed since she was there last time. The flowers were still there but water had been added ‘probably by the nurse’. The window was closed a long with the curtains, Buffy had done this the first time she got there, she didn’t want any vamps snacking on Faith. There was only one chair in the room next to Faith’s bed. The walls ’t h’t have anything on them, they were just plain white.

Whenever Buffy got here she got extremely depressed. The room was dark, Faith was in a coma and the only things that were in here, a sign of that someone cared, were from Buffy. She couldn’t believe that her friends didn’t bother checking up on Faith.

Here there was a girl of 16, 17? ‘Fuck, we didn’t even know how old she was. Or her last name. Guess that shit’s gotta hurt.’ Anyway, here there was a girl, in a coma, was about to die, was hated by almost everyone she knew and then still helped out in the end. She should get some credit for that.

Buffy placed the teddy bear under Faith arm which was lying across her stomach. She then moved the chair closer to the bed to hold Faith’s other hand.

“Hey Faith, how ya doing? Stupid question I know, but I just keep on expecting to say ‘Hey B! Surprise, was just kidding! God you should get that stick removed from your ass.’ Or just tell me that your ‘five-by-five’ whatever that means.” She got up from the chair again, she couldn’t stay seated too long. “I just wyou you to know that I am so sorry for what we did to you. And that I’m very thankful for helping us out in the end. We beat the bad guy, but we wouldn’t have been able to do that without you.”

This is what every visit with Faith was like, Buffy apologizing and getting emotional. She sat down again, wanting to be able to hold Faith’s hand. Her voice softened again.

“Angel left right after the fight. I didn’t tell you that yet. He’s moved to LA, helping out people there. Wesley left the day after graduation, something about failing you. Apparently he got sacked.” Buffy laughed a little at this, “guess he wasn’t so right about everything like he thought he was.”

She was quiet for a minute, just looking at Faith’s breathing. It was slow and soft but it was there.

“Giles is looking for a job now since he can’t be a school librarian anymore. He seems a bit lost right now, it's weird seeing him like that. I think that blowing up the school wasn’t exactly the best idea then. He's been reorganizing his books again at home, it's all he ever does.”

Buffy looked around the room to find a clock, she didn’t find one though ‘an other thing I will have to get to put in the room.’

“I’ll be right back, just need to check the time, mom didn’t want me to stay out too late tonight.”

She left the room and after about 2 minutes she was back again. She picked up her coat which she had put on the chair and put it on.

“I’m running late already, I’ll come back tomorrow afternoon. Tell you about the rest of the gang, and maybe if we can, get you in one of those wheel chairs where your strapped onto to go outside. You should get some sun in your face, wanna keep you healthy.”

She kissed Faith on the forehead like she had done on graduation day and all the other visits here.

“I miss you Faith.”

She walked out the door, looked back one last time and left.
