Chapter 18: Feel better?

Tara pulled Willow till they were standing outside a door. She looked around than opened the door and pulled the redhead in after her. When they were both in, Tara closed the door than pinned the redhead against it, taking her lips in a passionate kiss that Willow gladly returned.

Tara slide her hand slowly up Willow's stomach causing her to tremble. When Tara was almost at Willow's breasts, she scratched her way back down her stomach to the beginning of her pants causing Willow to moan.

Tara grabbed the bottom of Willow's shirt and pulled away from the kiss to pull the shirt over her head. When the shirt was off, Tara took Willow's lips again as she worked to unclasp her girlfriend's bra. When the bra was unhooked it joined the shirt on the floor and Tara pulled away from Willow's lips to trail kisses down her throat and to one breast. She kissed all over the breast, purposely avoiding the nipple.

"Tara," Willow almost whined. "Don't tease."

Tara smiled up at her girlfriend. "But it's so fun." Before Willow could remark, Tara took the nipple in her mouth and sucked hard. Willow moan and moved her hand up to the back of Tara's, holding the blond in place. Tara continued to suck and nip on one nipple as her hand came up to the other one, pinching it and rolling it about in two fingers.

After a couple minutes Tara left both nipples and trailed kisses down Willow's stomach, stopping at her pants. Tara unbuttoned the button and unzipped the zipper than slide the pants down her girlfriends legs till they were around her ankles, than she moved back up Willow's body till they were face to face.

"I love you," Tara said before taking Willow's lips again and sliding her hand into her panties.

Both moaned at the feeling of Tara's fingers coming into contact with Willow's wetness. Tara located Willow's clit and pressed firmly onto it. She started to move, causing Willow's to moan louder. Tara left Willow's lips and leaned into her ear. "Try to keep quiet," she whispered.

"Impossible," Willow moaned.

Tara smirked and applied more pressure.

"Epically if you do that," Willow said in between breaths.

Tara giggled, than started to kiss down Willow's neck, stopping at her pulse. Tara sucked it into her mouth at the same time that she slide two fingers into her girlfriend. A loud moan escaped Willow's lips as Tara slowly started to thrust in and out. Tara continued to suck ignoring the loud moan.

Willow tried to keep the moans low, but it was getting harder and harder as Tara's thrusts became harder and faster. "Tara," she moaned out. "Loud."

Tara stopped sucking and looked at her girlfriend. "What?"

"Me. Loud," Willow managed to get out.

"Oh," Tara captured Willow lips again and thrust harder as her thumb came into contact with Willow's clit. Tara could feel Willow tremble and knew she was about to find release so she pressed her lips more firmly against Willow's trying to drown out the moans that soon escaped her girlfriend.

After Willow's orgasm hit she fell into her girlfriend, panting hard.

"Feel better?" Tara asked.

Willow took some deep breaths than looked into her girlfriend's eyes. "Duh."

Tara giggled and kissed Willow's lips. "I love you," she smiled when she pulled away.

"I love you too," Willow buried her face into her girlfriend's neck and Tara held her tighter.

Ring

"Damn," Tara said. "Lunch is over."

"And we didn't get to eat," Willow smirked.

"Hm we still could," Tara went in for a kiss.

"Class," Willow giggled and pushed her away.

"Eating is more fun," Tara pouted.

"I know," Willow smiled. "But if we don't go to class someone might suspect something."

"I think people already suspect," Tara said. "But fine."

Willow pulled on her clothes and the two girls waited until they didn't hear anymore students in the hall, before Tara slowly opened the door and peaked. "Cost is clear," Tara said and she fully opened the door and stepped out. "Or not." she said.

"What?" Willow looked up and stopped dead in her tracks when she saw what Tara was looking at.

"Hello girls," their principle crossed his arms. "Care to tell me what you were doing in there."

Ash

[leonhart17]

Chapter 19: You told your mother?

"Hello girls," their principle crossed his arms. "Care to tell me what you were doing in there."

"Um well we were um," Tara stammered. She tried to think of something, but nothing was coming to mind.

"Looking for something," Willow said. Tara looked at her with a 'what?' look and Willow just shrugged.

"And what were you looking for?" the principle was giving them a glare that told them they were in so much trouble.

"For some erasers for me," all three heads turned at the new voice. Ms. Smith, Willow's math teacher, was standing behind them.

"We were?" Willow and Tara said at the same time staring at Ms. Smith in disbelief, realizing what they said they turned back to the principle and at the same time. "I mean yeah we were."

"Really?"

"Yes I just sent them in there," Ms. Smith took a step forward. "Tara walked Willow to class and I asked if Willow would go get the erasers and she said she was scared of spiders so Tara went with her. Gotta protect her girlfriend."

"Girlfriend?" the principle looked at the two girls. Than he sighed. "Fine. But I will be watching you two." he gave them one last glare and walked off.

Tara and Willow both let out huge breaths then turned to Ms. Smith. "Thank you."

"No problem," she looked at Willow. "I ran into your dad at the store and he told me about him and your mom. We are old friend, me and your dad, met at college. I never liked your mom, but he was fond of her. We couldn't understand why?"

"Me either," Tara said. Willow looked at her. "Heh sorry," she said than looked at the ground.

"I figured," Ms. Smith went on, smiling at Tara's comment. "That you didn't need anymore on your plate. Now get to class."

"Thank you," the girls said again and started to walk off.

"Oh and um girls."

"Yes," they turned back to the teacher.

"No more um stuff in the supply closet."

"Yes ma'am," they said and walked off.

"Okay this whole saying things at the same time," Willow said. "Kinda cute, but kinda weird. Does that mean we spend so to much time together?"

"Do you think we spend to much time together?"

"I could spend every second of my life with you and it still wouldn't be enough time," Willow smiled, stopping outside of her classroom.

"I feel the same way," Tara kissed her girlfriend. "See you after class. I love you."

"I love you too baby," they kissed again than went their separate ways.

***************************************************************

"Hey sweetie, how was school," Teagen asked as Tara came into the kitchen.

"Um," Tara paused. "Interesting."

"How so?" Teagen asked.

"Um well we found out Ms. Smith and Ira are friends." Tara opened the fridge and grabbed a soda.

"Ms. Smith?"

"Willow's math teacher."

"Ah okay," Teagen took a sip of her coffee. "Is that all?"

"Uh yeah?" Tara took a sip of her soda and looked everywhere, but at her mother.

"Have I ever told you, you suck at lying."

"Uh yeah."

"So than why do you try?"

"Cause there are somethings I don't want to discuss with my mother."

"And what would them somethings be. Sex?"

Tara choked on her soda. "Mom." Tara wiped off her chin. "Why did you say that?"

"Cause it's the only thing you haven't talked to me about. Well except that one time."

"When you got mad, that I was having sex?"

"I wasn't mad. I just...worry."

"About?"

"You getting hurt."

"Willow won't hurt me."

"I know she won't, but I will always worry. That's what mother's do. Wait. Sex? Something happened with sex? But you were at..."

"So," Tara chuckled. "Ready to be mad?"

"Tara Mcclay," Teagen said.

"Yup, your ready to be mad," Tara sat down at the table.

*******************************************************

"You told your mother?" Willow said into the phone. She got up and started to pace back and fourth.

"Yup," Tara was lying on her back on the sofa.

"But why?"

"Cause I suck at lying," Tara chuckled.

"Tara, this isn't funny."

"It kinda is."

"Tara. She grounded you for a week. A whole week."

"Calm down sweetie, stop pacing."

Willow stopped. "How did you...?"

"I know you very well Willow."

Willow giggled. "That sounded kinda creepy."

"No it would be creepy if I said I could see you doing it."

"You do see me do it," Willow giggled some more.

"That is not what I meant."

"I know," Willow sat on the end of her bed. "There no more pacing."

"Good," Tara smiled than yawned. "I'm sleepy."

"Than let's go sleepy baby," Willow said.

"Okay, goodnight love."

"Night night sweetie."

"I love you."

"I love you too."

Willow hung up and crawled up her bed and under the covers, she grabbed her teddy bear and fell into a peaceful sleep.

Tara walked into her room and put her phone on her nightstand. She laid on her bed and closed her eyes.

"Tara," she head her name being whispered.

"Yeah," she looked over at the bunk bed. Jordin's blue eyes were staring back. "You and Willow aren't gonna break up are you?"

"What?" Tara sat up.

"Willow's parent's broke up. Your dad and mom broke up. Our dad and mom broke up. Helen broke up with Uncle Ethan. Paige and Alex broke up..."

"Everyone breaks up on Degrassi sweetie."

"You are helping me make a point that I didn't wanna make."

"You think that because everyone has been breaking up that me and Willow will too?"

Jordin nodded. "That would suck. You guys are cute together. I wanna have a relationship with someone one day and be happy like you guys."

Tara smiled. "We aren't gonna break up."

"Promise?"

"Promise. Now go to sleep."

"Okay, I love you Tara."

"I love you too Jordin," Tara rolled over and closed her eyes.

Ash

[leonhart17]

haha I love that Tara got grounded for having sex at school... they're lucky they didn't get suspended...

funny chapter!

[taranwillow4ever]

Continuing to love this story. I like that Tara couldn't lie to her mother. I loved the math teacher coming to the aid of the girls. I think Tara's sibs are sweet

[Zampsa1975]

Yay for great update-y goodness... I hope that Tara's grounding doesn't mean that Willow isn't allowed to visit Tara, because that would suck big time... I really liked that Ms. Smith & Ira are friends from school, maybe they hook up now that Ira is going to be single again...

[Laragh]

That was freakin' awesome

Paige and Alex broke up..."

"Everyone breaks up on Degrassi sweetie."

That was hilarious. I was laughing for a solid ten minutes (and I swear it wasn't just the morphine!)

Damn straight they're never gonna break up. Glad Tara set Jordin straight (I'm saying straight way too much. gay gay gay gay gay gay gay. And now it's out of my system)

Can't wait for more!!

[ShesaGoddess]

Nu-uh! No breaking up! So... I guess they won't be 'getting erasers' anymore...

[ashcrash71590]

leonhart17: what fun would it have been if they got suspended? cause than Tara would have been in ever more trouble with Teagen and that just wouldn't be cool
taranwillow4ever: glad you love it
Zampsa1975: I was thinking of putting Ms. Smith in to put her with Ira, but i'm not sure. Do you think I should put them together?
Laragh: Haha glad you liked the Degrassi reference. I didn't think anyone would get that. I'm not gonna lie I'm a total Degrassi nerd. I watch it all the freaking time. And instead of straight you could say gayly forward. That is what me and my sister say. Cause when I say straight she makes fun of me cause I'm a lesbian so I do it to her cause she is bi. So it works haha
ShesaGoddess:Yeahh getting erasers...outta the question haha

Chapter 20:
"Well look what the cat dragged in," Tara said looking up from her book as she saw Faith walking up to her.

"Ha your funny," Faith said as she sat on the picnic table next to Tara in her backyard.

"Haven't seen ya except for when you pick me up from school," Tara said.

"I know, sorry."

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah."

"Liar," Tara stared at Faith who was looking at the picnic table. "Faith?"

"Tare?" Faith looked at her. "I'm in trouble."

***************************************************

"Hey Buff," Willow said as she opened the door. "What are you doing here?"

"Has Faith talked to you?" Buffy walked into the house.

"Why would Faith talk to me?" Willow shut the door and turned to her best friend who was now sitting on the sofa.

"I mean has Tara talked to you about Faith or something. Ugh I don't know what I mean," Buffy put her face in her hands.

"Um Buff," Willow sat next to her. "You okay?"

"smufingongifaf."

"What?"

Buffy sighed and pulled her hands away. "Something is wrong with Faith."

"What is?" Willow asked concerned. Her and Faith may not be the greatest friends, but she didn't want anything to be wrong with her.

"I don't know," Buffy said.

"She has been acting weird for a couple days and she has looked like she was about to cry all day today and yesterday. She hasn't been eating or sleeping. And she won't talk to me. Almost at all."

"Did you guys fight."

"No," Buffy almost shouted. "If we fought than I would be making it up to her not sitting here asking you if something is wrong."

"Okay, okay," Willow said. "Calm down."

"I can't calm down, something is wrong and she won't tell me," Buffy leaned back on the sofa.

"Buff?"

"Yeah?" Buffy was staring at her hands.

"Are you in love with her?"

"What?" Buffy's head shot up.

"Are you in love with Faith?"

"No."

"Have you kissed Faith."

"Duh, remember 20 times thing in her car? Remember us talking about that?"

"I mean since she has lived with you."

"No."

"Buff."

"Maybe."

"Buff."

"Once."

"Buff."

"Twice."

"Buff."

"Okay yes we have made out lots of times."

"Have you had sex with her?"

"No."

"Buff."

"Maybe

"Buff."

"Okay once."

"Buff."

"Okay twice."

"Buff."

"Okay fine maybe times. Me and Faith have had sex many times."

Willow's eyes widen and Buffy turned to see what she was looking at.

"I..." Ira stood in the doorway. "I was gonna. T.V. watch it. ya know what. I can wait. Gonna go back this way." he ran out of the room.

"Why?"

"Cause he doesn't want to hear about mine and Faith's sex life."

"No why did you have sex with her lots of times."

"Cause she is good at it?"

"Buffy," Willow shouted.

"Sorry," Buffy sat up. "Trying to joke. Failed."

"Why are you trying to joke?"

"To not think about it."

"So was she not good?"

"Oh no she is a-maz-ing."

"So why not think about it?"

Buffy shrugged. "I'm not sure."

"Are you in love with her."

Buffy shrugged again. "I'm not sure. Yes. No. I don't know."

"Buff?"

"Yeah?"

"You need to figure it out before you both get hurt."

"Do you think...I'm the reason...she is upset?"

"Honestly?"

Buffy nodded.

"Maybe," Willow sighed.

"I kinda thought that too."

"You wanna stay the night."

"Yes."

****************************************************

"Hey baby."

"Willow," Tara smiled.

"How are you?" Willow sat on her sofa.

"I'm okay, where have been? You said you would call like two hours ago," Tara sat at the kitchen table.

"I was trying to calm Buffy down."

"Buffy?"

"Yeah she is staying the night. Can you call Faith and tell her she won't be home?"

"Faith won't either. She is here."

"She is?"

"Yup, passed out on my bed."

"Is she okay?"

"I don't wanna sleep on the sofa."

"What?"

"Faith is passed out on my bed so that means I have to take the sofa."

"Is Faith okay?"

"Next time everyone decides to stay places, you and Buffy at your house and me and Faith at Buffy's cause that sofa is really uncomfy. Although Buffy doesn't seem to mind it..."

"Baby?!"

"Yeah?"

"Is Faith okay?"

"Maybe I can kick Jayden out of his bed. He does anything a girl tells him to do. Is that bad? Oh god my brother is gonna be one of them boys that is really sweet and has a bitch for a girlfriend that I am gonna wanna beat up, but I won't be able too cause I could go to jail, but Jordin can beat her up..."

"Are you avoiding the question?"

"Yup."

"Why?"

"Cause it's something that Faith discussed with me and I can't tell anyone. Not even you."

"I don't wanna know. I just wanna know if she is okay."

"Physically or emotionally?"

"Both."

"First yes, she is healthy. No hospital trips."

"Second?"

"No."

"Buffy?"

"Thought you didn't wanna know."

"She does."

"Faith knows."

"No. Buffy wants to know."

"I wanna be with you."

"What?"

Tara sighed. "I wanna be with you. In your arms. All this...relationship stuff. People getting hurt. I just wanna be in your arms."

"I want you to be in my arms baby, but are you okay?"

Tara sighed again. "A couple weeks ago, Jordin asked if we were gonna break up. She said everyone does and I don't know it kinda scared me. The thought of not having you. Okay that really scares me. I don't wanna be without you."

"You won't be baby. We aren't breaking up. I want to be with you for the rest of my life. Your my always baby."

"Really?"

"Duh doffus."

Tara giggled. "I am gonna get to sleep. See you tomorrow in school?"

"Duh," Willow giggled. "Goodnight baby, I love you."

"Night, I love you too."

"Always."

"Forever and for always," Tara smiled as she hung up the phone.

*****************************************************

"Hey guys," Xander smiled as Tara and Faith walked up to him and Anya the next morning.

"Hey," Tara said.

"You alright Faith?" Anya asked.

Faith nodded.

"Hey guys," Willow said as her and Buffy walked up.

"Bye Tare," Faith kissed Tara's cheek and walked off.

"What was that about?" Anya asked.

"Tara is she gonna talk to me?" Buffy asked.

"Yeah eventually," Tara paused. "I think."

"You think?" Buffy questioned. "Couldn't you find..."

"It's between you and her," Tara almost shouted. "Please don't put me in the middle. I have told you guys that before." Tara walked off.

"You guys really gotta stop putting her in the middle," Xander said. "Remember last time? You guys stressed her out."

"I get it Xander," Buffy said.

"Bye," Willow said and ran off after Tara. "Baby," she grabbed her arm. "Are you okay?"

"No," Tara was almost in tears. "I hate when they are like this. They put me in the middle. And last time it got bad. And they would both start fights with me about the other and it was annoying and I don't wanna do that again."

"You shouldn't have to," Willow put her arms around her girlfriend. "It's between them. You have nothing to do with it. You are there for them to talk to, but not put in the middle." Willow kissed her girlfriend's cheek. "Hey, you wanna get outta here?"

"Are you trying to pick me up," Tara teased.

"I'm trying to make you happy."

"You do make me happy."

"You aren't happy now, I want you to smile so me and you are getting outta here."

"We are cutting school?"

"Well I can't make you feel better in it."

"Cause we got caught?"

"What?" Willow looked at her girlfriend with confusion than got what she meant. "I didn't mean to have sex. That isn't what I had in mind."

"Than what did you have in mind?"

"Come with me," Willow smiled, took Tara's hand, and lead them out the school.

[Bewitchedyke]

That was an adorable update! I particularly enjoyed Willow and Buffy's conversation LOL. My best friend, My "twin", and I talk like that all the time. It's nice to see that we might not be the only ones.

I really hope Buffy and Faith talk soon so they quit stressin out the girls. Wonder how Willow's gonna cheer her up.... maybe chocolate and snuggles? Works for me! LOL

Thanks for writing such an awesome fic!!

[leonhart17]

aww poor Tara! It sucks when friends fight and drag other people into the middle of it... can't wait to see what Willow does to cheer her up!

[Zampsa1975]

Yay for great update-y goodness... I sure hope that Buffy & Faith talk soon and stop putting Tara in the middle... Can't wait for Willow's cheering up surprise...

I think Ira and Ms. Smith should become an item... But it could be weird for Willow to have her math teacher as a stepmom...

[Laragh]

That was fuckin' awesome. Yea, it was so good, i felt the need to swear.

The Buffy/Willow interaction was amazing, i'm like that with my best friend too.

Ooh and thanks for the gayly forward advice, I've officially added to my vocabulary.

Can't wait to see where Willow takes Tara, even if it doesn't involve fun naked times. Oh and Willow cutting class? I feel the need to swear again. Fuckin' awesome.

Eagerly awaiting more

[willowandtaraforever]

I love how willow and tara can't stop telling each other how much they love each other. where's willow taking tara to. hope they don't get caught again.

[ShesaGoddess]

[ashcrash71590]

Chapter 21: What's going on?

"Okay so where are we going?" Tara asked as her and Willow walked down the street. Holding hands.

"Well I was gonna wait until another day, but I can't wait. I wanna cheer you up and I know how," Willow said.

"And how would that be baby?"

"You will see," Willow smiled at Tara. Tara went to open her mouth. "No more talk until we get there."

"Wha?"

Willow stopped in front of Tara and kissed her hard on the mouth. "No more talk until we get there."

Tara nodded. Willow smiled in victory and kept walking.

They soon arrived at a train station. "Why are we," Tara stopped. "Sorry."

"It's okay," Willow smiled. "No talk. Stay here." Willow walked up to the booth leaving Tara standing there.

"Hey," a guy said. Tara looked at him. "What's your name?" he smiled. Tara just kept staring at him. "I'm Ryan." Tara still said nothing. "What? Can't talk?" Tara shook her head. "Why not?" Tara rolled her eyes and turned away. "Oh come on why won't you talk to me?"

"Cause she doesn't want too," Willow said walking up to them.

"And who are you?" the guy asked.

"I'm her girlfriend," Willow said holding her head up high. Tara giggled. "So now if you excuse us we have a date," Willow took Tara's hand. "That doesn't involve you," she glared at the guy one last time before heading towards the platform. "Why didn't you tell that guy to fuck off?" Willow looked at Tara. Tara just looked at her and smiled. "Is it cause I said not to talk until we got there?" Tara nodded her head and kept smiling. "Baby you could have stood up for yourself." Tara shook her head and kissed Willow. "You are crazy," Willow said. Tara nodded and giggled some more. "What am I gonna do with you," Willow said. Tara went to open her mouth. "Thought you weren't talking?" Tara shut her mouth. "Yeah so I guess I don't know what I should do with you." Tara pouted. Willow giggled. "The train is coming," Willow started jumping up and down like a little kid.

They boarded the train and found a seat. Tara sat by the window and Willow sat next to her and curled against her. The train ride was quite since Tara was determined to stay quite like her girlfriend told her too.

An hour later the train stopped at a stop and Willow said "This is us." she took Tara's hand and lead her off the train. They were in another small town. A very small town. Much smaller than Sunnydale. It had some houses and a dinner and that was about it from what Tara could see. "This way," Willow lead Tara down the street, passed the dinner, well behind the dinner and through some woods. "Okay now you may talk," Willow turned Tara's body around. Tara almost spoke, but words went from her when she saw what was in front of her. It was the ocean. With it's sparkly water and crashing waves.

"I remember you telling me once, you lived close to it, but has never seen it and you wanted to see it so here we are," Willow smiled. Tara stood there with her eyes wide open. "Baby?" Willow's smile dropped. "Are you okay?" Tara just stood there. "I'm sorry. Maybe this was a bad..." before Willow could finish the sentence she had Tara lips on her lips. Than they were gone. "Hey no short kisses allowed."

"This is really sweet," Tara said. "No one has ever taken me out of Sunnydale. Well my mom did once. To visit my grandparents. Well twice. Well I don't know how many times. I was young when they died. But my grandma always said when a guy took you someplace you wanted to go and didn't care about the cost and just wanted to make you happy he was a keeper. As long as he was nice too. I figure it works with girls too," she smiled.

"So I am a keeper?" Willow smiled.

"Well duh, but I already knew that."

"So you have always planned on keeping me?"

"Yeah," Tara stepped back. "You didn't know that already."

"Oh I did," Willow pulled Tara back. "I just love hearing you say it." she leaned in for another kiss. This kiss lasted longer and soon tongues were battling each other.

"Get a room," a girl said walking by.

"Oh I can talk now," Tara said when they pulled away. She turned to the girl. "We have done this in a room. We wanted something new. Something exciting. So next time you come around this way you may wanna watch out for some hot lesbian sex action going on." the girl just stared wide eyed at Tara than walked away. Tara and Willow giggled.

"Hot lesbian sex action?"

"Yeah," Tara giggled. "Actually I would prefer cute lesbian snuggle action right now."

"That sounds a-maz-ing," Willow smiled. She took Tara's hand and lead her further down the beach. Closer to the water, than sat. She opened her legs some and Tara sat in between them, with her back against Willow's front.

"This is wonderful," Tara sighed.

"Yes it is," Willow kissed Tara's head than buried her face into her neck.

"How did you find this place?"

"Remember when you got grounded for sex in supply closet a month or so ago?" Tara nodded. "Well I got bored sitting around cause Buffy was constantly about Faith and Xander and Anya about each other so my dad brought me here one day. Well to the diner than we walked on the beach and talked about you."

"What did you say about me?"

"That I didn't know how I got so lucky to get you."

"Cause you are amazing."

"You sound like my dad," Willow chuckled.

Tara smiled. "Your dad is smart."

"I love you," Willow kissed her head again.

"I love you too," Tara snuggled closer into her girlfriend and they sat in silence just watching the waves and enjoying the feeling of being with each other.

**********************************************************

Tara walked in the door of her house with a big smile on her face.

"Tara Elizabeth Mcclay," she head her mom's voice and she jumped.

"Hi mom."

"Don't hi mom me, your school called." Tara's face dropped. "Yeah care to tell me why you weren't there?"

"I well um you see."

"Was it Willow?"

"No. I mean yes, but not in a bad way,"

"What?"

"Okay what happened."

"I don't care what happened. Sit." Tara did as she was told. Teagen paced back and fourth across the floor. "You got in trouble for the sex in the closet thing. You knew the school was still watching you guys. So you skip?" Teagen stopped pacing and stared at her daughter. "Are you insane?"

Tara smiled. "Willow asked me that today." she looked at her mom and her smile dropped. "Um never uh nevermind."

"Tara I don't want you to get kicked outta school."

"I don't want to get kicked out mom. It was only once and it was cause I was upset and she wanted to make me feel better."

"Upset? About what?"

"Things with friends."

"What kind of things?"

"It's not my place to say."

"Excuse me?"

"Mom it doesn't have to do with me so I can't say. I'm just here to listen to people, but it seems to back fire."

"Okay I am lost. What are you talking about?"

"I can't talk about it," Tara snapped.

"Don't talk to me like that."

"I'm sorry," Tara shot up. "I'm sorry I skipped. I'm sorry about sex in the closet. I'm sorry the school is pissed at me. I'm sorry that I can't tell you what is going on. Okay?" Tara went to walk into her room.

"Tara what is going on? Why are you getting so angry?"

"Cause you were raising your voice at me," Tara stopped outside her door.

"Cause you did something wrong."

"I seem to be good at that lately."

"What?"

"Nothing," Tara opened her door.

"Tara will you talk to me?"

"I just told you I couldn't. Please drop it," Tara slammed her door shut and leaned up against it. Tears came to her eyes. She pulled out her cell and dialed a number.

"Hello?" the voice on the other end said.

"Hey can we talk? There is something I need to talk about and I don't know who else to go to," Tara said.

oh snap! cliffhanger! who's on the phone?!? and what's going on!?!?

great update! I loved their date!

[me+you=we]

*Le gasp* A cliffhanger!!!

PLEASE update soonish!!!

PAMS

[Zampsa1975]

Yay for great update-y goodness... I really liked their beach-date and that Tara wasn't allowed to talk before they got there... I truly hope that Tara is not in too much trouble... I hope she is calling Willow...

[Laragh]

Cliffhanger much? Harsh.

You better update soon

The beach was adorable and Tara shouting at that chick was

I hope this whole Faith thing gets resolved and Tara doesn't feel so stressed about it anymore. I don't like stressed Tara. It leads to unhappy Tara which leads to unhappy Willow, which, because of my irrational and almost scary over-emotional attachment to the characters leads to unhappy Laragh.

Really, really looking forrward to more

And more . Just 'cause.

[DaddyCatALSO]

2 very well put-together updates.

"Get a room" isn't really a say-it-out-loud thing, y'know'n'mean? Some people just have to learn from experience...she's lucky she wasn't a certain driver in Downtown LA.

As an egotist, I'm always tickled when soemthing reminds me of my own stories. And "The thought of not having you. Okay that really scares me. I don't wanna be without you" reminded me of a line in a wish-related fic I did, Willow's saying "But I don't want to be allright without you." (that fic had a sad ending but my overall world has a happy one!)

Hmm, I'm guessing whoever's on the phone will be soemone we'd never guess in a million years *g.

[ashcrash71590]

me+you=we: i hope this is soon enough hehe
Zampsa1975: i'm glad you liked the date and everything will be settled soon
Laragh: sorry but i love doing cliffhangers hehe. glad you enjoyed the shouting at the chick haha. don't worry you aren't the only one with an emotional attachment. i never want anything bad to happen to them either and like i said before nothing to bad will happen
DaddyCatALSO: thank you. i hate when people say get a room. people have said it to me and friends when we were just hugging. i'm not one for PDA but i get that people get caught up in the moment sometimes and i think that people should just leave them alone. so whenever someone says it i always say something cause it's annoying. I don't think I have ever read one of your stories and if I have, i don't remember, but now that you mentioned it I am gonna go find one to read it hehe. I love when people can relate their writings to mine cause that means that you understand what i am saying

Chapter 22: Secret revealed

"Hey," Tara said as she got into Faith's car.

"Don't hey me," Faith snapped.

"What is your problem?" Tara looked at her friend.

"I know you called my grandma last night," Faith said. "She called my cell last night to talk. Why would you do that?"

"Because I thought that maybe if she talked to you, you would feel better."

"How did you suppose that?" Faith asked.

"Because sitting around here. Ignoring Buffy and everyone. Flipping out. Putting me in the middle. Isn't helping. You need to go out there. You need too..."

"Stop telling me what I need to do. I don't need to do anything. And I would appreciate if you stayed out of it."

"Than stop putting me into it," Tara snapped.

"Whatever," Faith said. The rest of the car ride was silent. When they got to school, Tara jumped out of the car, slammed the door and walked away. "Tara," Faith shouted.

Willow, Buffy, Xander, and Anya were all sitting on the wall outside the school, they looked up when they heard Tara's name.

"What's going on with them too?" Xander asked.

"I don't know, but I'm thinking we should go talk to them," Buffy said looking at Will.

"Yeah come one," Will said as she jumped down, followed by Buffy.

"Tara come on wait," Faith said running up to Tara and grabbing her arm. "I'm sorry. Come on." Tara looked at her. "Look I'm scared. My brother was the only one who ever cared about me. When he left to take that job, I got so mad at him and I wouldn't talk to him. I was just so angry that he would leave me there alone with my parents. I never. I haven't. Talked to him since he left. He tried calling me when he found out what my dad did, but I wouldn't talk to him and now. He. I may never," tears came to Faith's eyes. "I can't go see him like that. In a coma. I can't," Faith started to cry.

Tara pulled her friend into her arms. "It's okay. I understand. Shh sweetie." Tara looked up and saw Buffy and Willow standing there, both with tears in their eyes. Tara knew they head everything, but she also knew Faith didn't want them to know. Tara mouthed 'go' to them. Willow nodded and grabbed Buffy's arm. Buffy stared at Faith as her friend pulled her away.

******************************************************

"I hate school," Xander said sitting at the lunch table with Anya and Willow.

"I hear ya," Willow said.

"Mr. Gravel came me a c on my paper," Xander said.

"Isn't that good for you," Willow smirked.

"Ha ha funny," Xander said. He looked at his girlfriend. "I tried so hard, you know I did. He hates me." he looked at Willow. "Teachers love you, how do you do it?"

"I do my work and don't slack," Willow replied.

"Hey guys," Tara said coming up and taking a seat next to her girlfriend.

"Baby," Willow hugged her and kissed her hard on the mouth.

"Damn Will," Xander said.

"I missed you," Willow said when she pulled back.

"I missed you too," Tara smiled. "Sorry I wasn't around much today. Faith and all."

"It's okay baby," Willow kissed Tara's cheek.

"Is Faith okay?" Xander asked. Tara shrugged.

"Hey," Buffy sat at the table.

"Hey Buff," Xander said.

Buffy looked at Tara. "Is she okay?" Tara shrugged again. "Do you hate me?"

"What?" Tara looked at Buffy.

"Do you hate me? I mean. Everything with Faith. I'm so sorry. I'm not fucking with her or anything. I love her. I really really do. And I feel like shit. With everything that was going on. If she knew how much I loved her and cared about her than maybe she would have talked to me and came to me and..."

"Hun," Tara put her hand on Buffy's shoulder. "I don't hate you. I know you aren't fucking with her. You and Faith treat each other the same way. So if you were fucking with her than she is fucking with you. I know you guys love each other. I know it's hard for you guys to be together. You make great friends."

"With benefits," Anya smiled.

"Anya," Xander and Willow snapped.

"What," Anya shrugged. "They are."

"But," Tara said. "You guys never work as a couple. I don't hate you. You are one of my best friends. Faith wouldn't have come to you or anyone. She came to me cause I am her friend. She will talk to you. When she is ready. She just has a lot going through her mind."

"I know," Buffy said. "I just wanna help."

"You will," Tara smiled. "But she has to let you help."

"Your right," Buffy sighed.

*************************************************

"Hey Faith where have you been?" Joyca asked when Faith came in the backdoor.

"I was at Tara's house. I'm sorry I didn't call," Faith sat in a chair.

"It's okay. You have seems kinda down lately so I figured you were with Tara. Just making sure," Joyce smiled. "I am baking cookies."

Faith smiled. "Your a good mom. Buffy and Dawn are lucky."

"Well thank you, I wish they knew that," Joyce chuckled. "I'm a lucky mom. My daughters are amazing and so," Joyce grabbed Faith's hand. "Are their friends and if you ever want to talk I am here."

Faith smiled. "Thank you."

"There is someone else who is here to talk to you. And she is sitting up on her bed, very upset."

Faith sighed and got up. She walked up the stairs and into the room she shared with Buffy. "Hey," Faith said.

"Hey," Buffy said from her bed.

Faith closed he door and went and sat next to her. "I'm sorry."

"For what?" Buffy put the magezine she was reading down.

"For ignoring you and being an ass," Faith sighed.

"Faith..."

"No let me talk."

"Okay."

Faith took a breath. "I got a call a couple days ago. My brother was in a really bad car accident and he is in a coma."

"Oh god," Buffy said. She had already known but hearing the way Faith said it made her heart break.

"I haven't talked to him in months. Ever since he left. And now I'm scared that I will never get to talk to him. Never get to tell him how much I love him and how he is one of my best friends. My grandma is the one who called me and told me and she also told me that... My brother is gonna be a dad. The girlfriend he has is pregnent. She was gonna tell him that night. When he was coming home from work," tears came to Faith's eyes again. "He doesn't know that he is gonna be a dad. He always talked about wanting kids and now he is gonna have one, but he may never met it. Everyone wants me to go down there, but I don't think I can. It never had anything to do with you. I told Tara to let you and Willow and everyone think it. Cause I didn't want to talk about it. It was stupid I know, but I knew Tara would do it cause she is a really nice person and would do anything for the people she loves. But than when her and her mom got into a fight, Tara couldn't take it anymore. She hates lying ya know and she hates even more when people are upset. Epically someone she loves. My grandma wants me to go down there, but I don't know if I can. I can't see him like and I hate myself for not talking to him." Faith looked down.

"Don't hate yourself babe and I will go with you."

"What," Faith looked at Buffy.

"I said I will go with you," Buffy took Faith's hand. "We will go and you can see him. Talk to him. Let him know you are there and that you love him. He will sense you there. People say people in comas can sense things around them. I will be there for you."

"You would do that?" Faith said.

"Duh," Buffy smiled. "You are my snuggle bunny."

"I told you not to call my that."

"I think you like it when I call you that," Buffy said.

Faith smiled. "You know what."

"What?"

"You can call me it one time, in front of Anya, and I will like that you call me it."

Buffy laughed. "Deal." she lunged across the bed, tackling Faith.

*******************************************************

"I'm so glad you are going," Tara said into the phone. "Okay I will see you guys tomorrow. I love you two too."

"I love you too," Willow shouted.

"They love us too," Tara smiled at her girlfriend. "Bye," she said into the phone and hung up.

"So when do they leave?" Willow asked.

"This weekend," Tara said jumping onto the bed, tackling Willow onto her back. "I love you," Tara leaned down and captured Willow's lips in a passinoate kiss.

When they pulled away, Willow was dizzy. "I love you too," she said breathlessly.

Tara giggled.

Willow flipped them over so Tara was under her. "So we have the house to ourselves," she smirked.

"When are Ira and uncle Ethan coming back?"

"Don't know," Willow kissed Tara's neck. "Don't care." she kissed her neck again.

"You know," Tara's voice was shaky. "My mom said I could come over when Faith left my house cause she thought you wanted my help," she gulped when Willow started to suck her pulse point. "On a project," she squeaked out.

"I do need help on a project," Willow smirked. Tara raised her eyebrow. "A Tara loving project."

"Tara loving?"

"Yes."

"For what class?" Tara teased.

"My own special class. I am the only one taking it."

"So does that make me the Teacher?" Tara teased.

Willow gulped.

Tara giggled. "I think you like that idea," Tara pulled Willow down for another passionate kiss.

[Laragh]

DIBS! Back in a sec


Aww. I feel bad for Faith. Which is not something I'd normally feel for her 'cause she's all bad ass and all.

"So does that make me the Teacher?" Tara teased.

Willow gulped.

Tara giggled. "I think you like that idea
