Previously : “ Willow is something wrong? “ the tall blonde asked, worried.
“ Yeah something’s definitely wrong missy! “ Willow said to Tara, with her resolve face on. “ Oh, okay, talk to me, you’re scaring me now ..” the blond said again, feeling really nervous she did something wrong…
Willow was supposed to be mad at Tara, but she really couldn’t, the girl looked really lovely in her outfit she thought. Not now Willow, you were mad remember?? She said to herself, but when she hear the foot steps next to her she turned around.
It was Buffy, a really angry looking Buffy. She was nervous now, because Buffy’s worst nightmare was at the other side of her door, and Buffy was almost reaching to her side now.
“ Tara, I don’t think I can’t go with you on a date tonight. “ she finally said to the tall blond. She didn’t want to say that because she DID wanted to go out with Tara tonight, but she did it because she needed to know what Tara really was.
Was the girl cute, sweet and kind like she is now, or is she just used them and lose them chick.
“ What?? Why not?? “ Tara asked the redhead, feeling that something bad was up.
Before the redhead could answer to her, she heard a familiar voice saying : “ Why does she want to go with a pain like you to a date? “ the familiar voice said, with a dislike tone. Tara looked to Willow’s right and saw …. “ Buffy Summers??!! “ ….
------------------------------------------------
“ Buffy Summers?? “ Tara yelled to the girl that stood right in front of her.
“ Surprise .. “ Buffy said back dryly.
“ W..ww… what a…aar are you d..d..doing here? “ Tara stuttered back at the obviously mad blonde. she was almost doing it in her pants, she didn’t expect this. she was so happy when she was walking from her house to Willows and now she had to deal with this, all she wanted was to go to a date with the lovely redhead.
“ Wel I was helping MY best friend getting ready for her date with someone, but I didn’t know that that someone was a Jerk like you!!? “ Buffy answered the question Tara asked.
“ I .. i.ii .. s..sshe is y…y…your … best .. f..f..friend?? “ Tara turned and looked at Willow who was really uncomfortable between the two blondes.
“ Yeah well, I …I didn’t know that you where … and that Buffy was … “ the redhead said, not knowing how to feel right now. Willow just stood there as she watched her two most beloved women fighting together, she didn't know what to say or to do anymore.
What was all this? Why is it that Buffy hates Tara so much, what on earth did the blonde do to her that she was acting so upset and why did the blonde do that to her. Willow's mind was blown away with probably more then a million questions
Just when Buffy was starting to rage again at Tara. Willow came with an idea. "I think it's best for all of us to sit down and talk about this."
"NO WAY!" Buffy exclaimed "You are SO not gonna invite her in"
"I SO am gonna do that, you're gonna back off now!" Willow's anger against the Slayer started to increase. "I want to hear what this is all about and there is no way that you're unable to get wiggle out of it" Willow said with a firm voice.
Buffy looked at Tara with a I’m-so-gonna-kill-you-face. Tara on the other hand looked like she was going to die any minute.
“ Well, are you two coming in? “ Willow said again with a firm voice. She needed to know the truth and she needed to know it right now.
Tara walked in the house fallowed by a piss off Buffy, she was really in some deep trouble. She never mend to hurt Buffy like she did last year. It was just that she couldn’t handle the dead of her mother. she really wish that Faith was here, Faith would know what to do. But Faith wasn't there, for the first time in her life she needed to work things out on herself. So she followed Buffy and Willow inside.
Buffy and Willow sat down at the couch, so the only seat left for her was the chair right in front of Buffy. She hesitated, should she sit down? or she could just runaway now and forget all about Willow, but she couldn't she liked Willow to much, other then any girl before.
"Please sit down" Willow told Tara
"Why sit down!" Buffy shouted "Let her stand over ther and then I can kick some serious ass!"
"BUFFY!" Willow started to shout out loud against the Slayer again " Give her a chance allright? You don't know anything about her maybe she has a reason for all of this."
Tara sat down in the slightly uncomfortable chair, in front of Buffy. There was no way she could wiggle out of this. She needed to be honest. her face was turning even paler then it was before looking at the raging eyes of the Slayer in front of her
"So now talk!" Buffy said with a harsh voice "I think you have some explaining to do now" Tara looked at Buffy then at Willow and started to explain why she was such an ass to buffy last year. "I uh" Tara was feeling her burning tears behind her eyes. "I'm sorry" she bended her head looking at the ground.
"You're sorry!" Buffy exclaimed "Is that all you have to say! You are so easy"
Tara was feeling like the floor gave way beneath her, if she could sink right through it she wanted to do that now!
"So you gonna talk or what?" Buffy asked
Tara couldn't control herself anymore as she bursted out in tears.
"T...this w...w...wasn't s...such a great i...idea after a...all" Tara started to stutter very bad.
Willow felt so sorry for this girl. She wanted to hug her, pull her close.
" Tara it's okay, just tell us, I wont get mad, well maybe Buffy does but ... " Willow tried to comfort the blonde when she saw those tears leaking from Tara's beautiful eyes
Tara looked up at Willow and started to explain her story. " w..ww...wwell i..i..i... uhh... m..y.yy " she started but was so nervous that her stutter came into play.
“ i..ii… th…tt..the r…rrr..rreason… I pic….picked…o..o..on B…u..ffff..Buffy w..wwas .. i.. “ she stuttered to the girls in front of her. “ i..i..ii.. I have to go .. “ With that Tara stood up quickly and left the Rosenberg’s resident. Leaving a confused Willow and a mad Buffy on the couch. “ I told you! She is so easy!! “ Buffy finally said to Willow who was looking not so happy about that comment.
Willow wondered why the blonde had rushed off, why did she broke down in tears? Was she so extremely sorry for what happened between her and Buffy? Willow could sense there was more then Tara was telling her, something that was really upsetting her, but she just couldn't find out what it was.

Faith looked at her watch “ They should be here now, Tara have to perform soon, where the hell are they? “ she said to herself. It was busy tonight, everyone want to see Tara perform she thought. she looked around, again trying to find her best friend, but there was no clue of Tara. Faith decided to sit at the bar and order a drink.
“ Hey, Faith! What can I get for ya? “ the barkeeper asked the brunette while drying a beer class.
“ A coke will do today, hey Ed, have you seen Tara? “ Faith asked the barkeeper.
“ No I didn’t, she have to be here soon though, the show is starting about… “ looking at his watch. “ 20 minutes, so she’d better hurry! “ Ed said back, answering the brunette’s question. “ Am going to call her, see where she is .. “ Faith said with a concern voice.
She picked up her cell phone and dialled Tara’s number.
“ Come on, come on… pick up Tara … “ she said, while waiting for someone to pick up the phone, but in steed she got Tara’s voicemail on the line. Faith hung up feeling frustrated and worried. “ Where are you kid .. “ she said to herself.
Finally Faith decided to go out there and look for Tara. She walked to the exit and got bumped to a tall blonde. “ Sorry about that. “ she said. And when she looked up to see who is was bumped into, she saw Tara’s familiar face in front of her. Faith grabbed the blonde and pulled her in an embrace. “ Goddamn! I was so worried about you!! Why didn’t you picked up the phone?? “ Faith said to the blonde, still embracing her.
“ Faith! Take it easy!! Am not dead, well I almost was but am not okay?? Just let me breath for a sec! “ Tara said to Faith, almost turning purple because Faith was squeezing her to tight. “ Sorry about that, just worried you know! Where the hell where you and where have you been??!! “ Faith almost shouted at her friend.
“ W..w..ell I … I .. I .. saw Buffy Summers?! “ Tara said back while looking at the ground.
“ You saw WHO?? “ Faith asked her with big eyes, did she hear this right??
“ You know what I said, now let just forget it and let me do my show okay? “ Tara asked Faith, not wanting to talk about Buffy right now.
“ Okay, but that’s just for now missy! I want to hear all about it after the show, now go get ready. “ Faith said. With that Tara goes to the stage and started to get ready for the show, she talked with the guitarist for awhile and then the barkeeper announced her.
“ Hey folks, here’s the moment that you all have been waiting for. Give it up for Tara!! “ Ed said to the audience who was clapping waiting for Tara to do her thing.
When the audience stop clapping and whistling, the music started and Tara started to sing.
Hiding from the green in you eyes
I never told you that I don’t need a reason to be in
Love with the smile on you face
Guess I just want you around to get my feet on the ground
And I say
Why can’t you tell me
What is the reason?
Tell me what is on your mind?
I try not to be uptight
But I need to know now
Tell me what is on your mind
Willow walked into the Bronze, she was looking for Tara. When Tara walked out of her door she and Buffy talked a while and decided that Buffy was acting like a ass and that Buffy needed to say sorry. Tara must have a good reason to pick on Buffy last year it was obvious by the way she was acting tonight, with the crying and all.
She and Buffy decided that Buffy would go and look for Tara at the blonde’s house and Willow would look at the Bronze. And here she is, in the bronze, looking for Tara.
She looked around and saw most of the people stand by that stage, so she began to walk towards the stage. As the music began to play Willow instantly liked it. It was a nice guitar intro, almost acoustic without any distortion in it. She walked more closer to the stage but she couldn't see who was on stage. As the intro was over a voice began to sing, the voice sounded familiar to Willow, she knew that voice! It was so warm and tender. Allthough she already knew who was on stage know she needed to see.
Willow tried to walk past the crowd but had no luck, the spot was full of people so the little redhead couldn’t find her way trough it. Finally she had to push some of the people aside to see the beautiful blonde goddess. “ God, it’s so crowed here. “ she complained.
The next thing she knew she stood right in front of the girl that ran from her 20 minutes ago. “ She’s so beautiful. “ the redhead said to herself. Willow looked at Tara’s face when the blonde was singing the words from her song, she looked so sad, and it killed Willow to see her like that. It was almost like Tara had put all her previous emotions into the songs she was singin on stage. The shy little crying Tara from before was now singing on stage to probably hundreds of people.
Is it something we’ve got to mend?
Or should we do it over again?
Do you deed some more time to
Learn how to love in return?
If only you gave me a sign
Then I know I’d be fine
And I say
Why can’t you tell me
What is the reason?
Tell me what is on your mind?
I try not to be uptight
But I need to know now
Tell me what is on your mind?
Don’t be afraid, it never to late
But I don’t wanna see you hesitate
It’s a matter of time, before you’ll be mine
But until that day I won’t cross the line
Then life will be so much better for you and me
Just, let it be …
Tara sung the lyrics with her whole heart, she wrote the song yesterday. It was how she felt about Willow. “ Willow.. “ she thought, would she hate me now? Did I blew the only change I have with this girl? She kept on questioning herself, how could I walk away like that? Am such a jerk she blamed herself. She looked at the crowd and saw familiar face.
“ Wait isn’t that… no it can’t be “ she said to herself, feeling happy and sad to see the redhead. She looked at the redhead hoping for eye contact. “ You’ll never get one Maclay, you totally blew it with her .. “ she again said to herself, trying to get the redhead out of her head, but she really couldn’t. She looked at the redhead again and saw that the redhead was looking at her too, and the blonde and redhead had eye contact.
Tara’s heart just hammered in her chest when she saw the redhead smiled at her.
She never saw something beautiful like that before, it was breath taking.
She didn’t know what to do so she kept keeping the eye contact with Willow and continued to sing…
And I say
Why can’t you tell me
What is the reason?
Tell me what is on your mind?
I try not to be uptight
But I need to know now
Tell me what is on your mind?
Tara got so lost in the redheads eyes that she stood up, jumping of the stage, while still looking at the redheads green eyes. Willow couldn’t believe this, she couldn’t stop looking at the ocean blue in front of her. She was so lost in them and she get this strange feeling in her stomach again, it’s like the butterflies are getting butterflies or something like that. She saw the blonde stood up and jumped off the stage and walking towards her. She felt her heart jump a mile when Tara was just a couple of inches in front of her. She looked up again to see the ocean blue filled with love staring at her beautiful sea green. “ Tara I… “ she wanted to say to the blonde but Tara stopped her with laying a finger on her lips. Tara looked at her finger op the girls lips and then she looked at the girls eyes, like she was asking her permission. When she saw the redhead smiling she leaned in and pressed her lips against Willows, at that moment nothing matters anymore, she was free and she was loved. The only thing she heard now was the sound of the guitar and the audience clapping and whistling around her and the new woman in her life …
