Chapter 3 *Talking it out*
“Ya sure you’re alright being here?” Faith asked as she flopped down beside Tara on the bed , totally forgetting that the sudden movement would jar the blonde and cause her pain , both of them inhaled sharply , Tara gave a small smile and Faith cringed “I’m so sorry T” she shook her head scared to look at the blonde .
“its all good Faith!” Tara reached her good hand out to pat Faith on the shoulder .
“now back to what I was saying are you sure you’re alright to be here?” Faith asked again , this time moving ever so slowly to make sure she didn’t jar the bed and hurt her best friend once again .
“I’m better off here” Tara shook her head and sighed softly , her eye’s closed for a moment.
When she thought about how close they came today to losing everything she had a chill go straight through her body.
Faith knew exactly what Tara was thinking and she sighed also “close call today” she nodded and laid on the pillow beside Tara , rolling on her side so they were face to face .
“to close” Tara agreed , wrapping her self up tightly in a ball , the blankets pulled up to her chin.
“I agree” Faith smiled and pulled the blankets over herself as well , they had been friends for years , they had been through everything together , they met in grade three , some boy pushed Tara to the ground , stealing her lunch from her , and making her cry at the time .
Faith was right there , a little 8 year old Faith , popped the little boy right in the mouth and took the lunch back , then she grabbed Tara’s small hand and pulled her off the ground , and handed her the lunch ,then she whipped the tears from the blondes face and smiled at her , Tara smiled back and from that day on they hadn’t spent more then a few days apart .
Tara moved closer to her friend , Faith had rolled onto her back , and Tara rested her head on Faith’s shoulder “I hate days like today” She sighed again , it was long and drawn out , scary as hell , though they did kick ass and save two people’s lives it was still scary as hell , made you think about your life , made you take everything in and notice every little thing that was missing from it .
Faith ran her fingers through her friends clean wet hair , Tara had a shower when they got to the house , Faith helped her get dressed and put her in bed “me to T me too” the dark haired girl sighed .
“I really need to get laid!” Tara laughed , even though it was painful .
Faith chuckled as well but didn’t full out laugh at her friends remark “me too” she agreed “Why haven’t we just ever slept together?” she asked her tone soft and light , Tara knew she was only kidding , they always kidded like this .
“Because once you have me Tara ,you’ll never want another and you know me , I’m a heart breaker !” Faith winked and Tara chuckled yet again , her breath catching this time .
“I gotta stop laughing” Tara shook her head softly.
They laid there in silence for a few moments , Faith running her fingers through Tara’s soft hair , soothing her woes away.
Tara finally spoke up “thanks Faith” she whispered , and then yawned .
“Don’t thank me T, you’d do the same for me” Faith smiled and yawned as well “but I should be going to bed” she stated and went to get up but Tara wrapped her arm around her stomach holding her in place .
Faith looked at her a little quizzically, then Tara spoke up “stay here tonight , I’m not trying to get you to have sex with me , just don’t wanna be alone” Tara half smirked , and Faith understood , sometimes after a scary day , they just needed the comfort .
“Okay T” Faith smiled and kept her fingers running through the blonde hair .
Tara yawned once again and before Faith could say goodnight she was out like a light , sound asleep curled up against her best friend.

Chapter 4 *Healing Time*
Faith grinned as she finished making up Tara‘s plate, she had woken early the next morning and untangled herself from her best friend , quietly enough as not to wake the peaceful blonde , she went down stairs and made breakfast and coffee , she called their boss , Tara got sick time and so did Faith due to stress , Faith laughed when she hung up the phone , she didn’t time for stress but she knew she wanted to be around the next few weeks to help out Tara .
They both got six weeks off , which was perfect , a nice paid vacation, sucked for Tara due to the fact that she wouldn’t be able to enjoy most of it , because of her injuries .
But it was a nice break , neither girl had time off for at least 3 years now , it was much needed .
“Mornin” A very groggy Tara came wandering into the kitchen , limping majorly on her right leg , and holding her left side .
Faith turned and seen the condition of her best friend this morning , she looked like she was hit by a truck “You look a mess T” Faith shook her head and pulled out the chair for Tara to take a seat .
“thanks” Tara crooked , the smoke had finally made her throat stiff and scratchy .
“Sorry T , you just look like you were hit by a truck” Faith shook her head and smiled , she knew Tara didn’t mind the comment she was used to it , if Faith did one thing it sure as hell wasn’t dance around the truth .
“It’s all good” Tara shook her head softly , though tried not to shake it to much because of the extreme pounding in the back of it , where it had smashed into the ground the day before .
“Breakfast?” Faith asked as she set the plate filled with fresh fruit and meat and eggs in front of the blonde .
Tara smiled softly , her throat might have been sore but she was freaking hungry as all hell “Thanks” She smiled and started digging in slowly , making sure she chewed really well , so it wouldn’t hurt as much to swallow .
“so I got us 6 weeks off work” Faith grinned around a mouth full of food , she was never one for classiness .
“no shit” Tara laughed softly , then grabbed her side to stop the shooting hot pain that went right through it .
“yup both of us” Faith took a swig of her OJ, “So I’m gonna go over to your place later on , gonna grab some of your stuff , and your damn cat and bring them here , you’re staying with me for the next few weeks” She finished and Tara knew she had no chance in arguing so instead she nodded and smiled .
“Make sure you grab miss kitties toys” She wiggled her eyebrows , knowing just how much Faith hated cats , she was more a dog person then anything.
“fine fine fine , but if that cat bites me once I’m getting a great Dane!” She stuck her tongue out at the blonde , and grinned as she took another bite of her breakfast .
Tara once again held in a laugh , knowing full well how much it would hurt and they finished their breakfast in rather silence.
