Chapter 4
sorry i haven't updated for a while, i had testweek last week. basically a week with one or two exams everyday. next part is up, please let me know what you think.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Buffy walked into the now, very familiar room. “Hey Faith.” She opened up the window and wondering if any one had done that while she wasn’t here for the past week.
The sun was shining brightly, heating up the room immediately. She sat down in ‘her’ chair by Faith’s bed after looking at the status board to see if there had been any change at all. Nothing.
“I’m sorry I haven’t been here. I’ve been really busy with packing your things. The basement is already finished, we just have to place your stuff there.”
She looked around the room, still thinking it was quite bare. “tomorrow I don’t have to do anything so I’ll come by and put up some pictures or something. Make this place look a little better.
“I’ve talked to Willow already, she’s gonna try to remove your files from the police database. I don’t wanna pressure her but I just want it to be done as quickly as possible. After she’s done that I wanna take her here and show her how vulnerable you are. Just to show her why she did it.
“I’ve talked to Giles about having you living at home with mom. You should have seen his face when I told him. I think that I may have broken something inside him this time. don't think his glasses have ever been cleaner than yesterday, he polished them so much.
“I haven’t been able to talk to Xander yet, he’s still doing his ‘search for yourself’ thing. I think that he’ll be a lot harder to convince than the others, he’s good at holding grudges. But I guess you knew that, with Angel.”
She got out of her chair and moved towards the window. Just standing there silently looking outside, it was the summer holidays so most people were gone. It was quiet, but not eerily.
Buffy turned around again, to look at Faith. The girl had changed so much from the first time she saw her. Faith looked a lot older and at the same time a lot younger. Her true age could be seen now without the defences up. ‘How old was she now? 16 17? God, did we ever celebrate her birthday? When is her birthday? How long had we known her and still didn’t know her last name? Does she have a middle name?’
All these questions started to fill Buffy’s head as she continued to examine Faith’s face. She felt guiltier by the minute as she found out how little they actually knew about Faith. All they knew about Faith’s past were the things she accidentally let slip up.
She couldn’t stay here any longer, all this guilt was becoming way too much.
“I’m sorry Faith, I just have to go for a while. But I promise you, once you wake up, we’ll work all of this out. You won’t be treated like a third wheel.”
She removed herself from the window and gave Faith one last look. She then left the hospital room wondering how she could have let things go so far with Faith.

“Hey mom, I’m home.”
Buffy walked into the kitchen and found a note on the counter.
‘Buffy, got called away to LA. Something about needing an expert to examine some piece, Rupert is with me. I wanted to make sure it isn’t demonic. There’s some money on your bed. Please don’t spend it all on pizza’s. I’ll be back in a couple of days. MOM’
‘Got the whole house to myself for a few days, think about the possibilities.’
Buffy got a huge smile on her face but it vanished as soon as she realised that it wouldn’t exactly be any different than when her mom was home.
She wasn’t exactly hungry so decided to get those pizza’s later, she looked around the kitchen, looking for something she could do. Her eyes fell on the basement door which was slightly open. ‘What better way to get to know Faith than by looking through her things? It’s not as if I can ask her all the things I wanna know.’
She got her coat and keys and left the house. Silently wishing that they had taken Faith's things with them already.
(i know it isn't very long but it's all that i got for now)
