[iloveamber]

Hey guys, enjoy this one and leave me lots of feedback. I’m sick so please make me feel better. Also, this is my very first time writing smut. I wasn't going to but I thought it would do this fic justice. So please let me know if it's good or if I should never do that again because it sucked horribly. Thanks and now you can read.








“Here’s an ice pack.” Buffy said, handing it to Willow.

“Thanks, my head feels so big from hitting that wall.” Willow smiled, touching her forehead.

“Oh, I’ll get you some water and an aspirin. Be right back.” Buffy said then walked out of her room.

“So, you’re going to stay here now huh?” Tara asked.

“Yeah, Buffy’s house is a better environment for me. No drunks live here.” Willow joked. She sighed and said “I’m sorry for what happened.”

“You didn’t know.” Tara said. “I was surprised that you could even stop him.”

“He wasn’t always like that you know.” Willow said, looking down. “We used to get along so well. We had a nice house, with a big backyard when I was seven. He even made me a swing set and he would push me on it everyday.” She smiled. “He’d even read to me every night until I fell asleep.”

Tara smiled at her sympathetically.

“But ever since the bank took our house, he’s always felt useless. He started drinking as you could tell. He has very little money and lives off the lotto. And he’s violent.” Willow said quietly.

“I’m sorry Willow.” Tara said, touching her hand.

Willow stared off into space a moment longer then shook her head.

“But who cares. He’s a dick and I hate him.” Willow said.

Tara frowned at how drastically Willow’s attitude changed.

“Oh so, what did you come by to talk about?” Willow asked, remembering the reason for Tara’s late visit.

Not wanting to upset Willow even more, Tara said “Nothing, I just… wanted to know if you wanted to go to the movies this weekend.”

“Oh… sure, I guess.” Willow said.

After hearing everything around the corner, Buffy felt that this was the right time to make herself known.

“Okay, I’m back!” Buffy said, walking in. She handed Willow the glass of water and said “Alright Will, We’re going to be roomies!”

She hugged Willow tightly and Willow just scrunched up her face at the close contact. Tara smiled at their playful banter and they all had a sleepover.





Faith was at the Bronze, sitting at a table. She was patiently waiting, drinking her beer every now and then. Suddenly, a guy came over and sat across from her.

“Okay, why did you call me?” he asked.

“Nice to see you too Tom.” Faith said.

“Look, you’re lucky I even came so tell me why you wanted to see me.” He said.

“I need your help.” Faith smiled evilly.




“Come in!” Buffy yelled to her bedroom door.

“Wow Buffy, you look great.” Willow commented.

“Thanks, whoever said an orange dress doesn’t work can kiss my ass!” Buffy smiled.

“So what time does this thing start?” Willow asked.

“At seven.” Buffy said. “Are you sure you don’t want to go? I mean, this is the Homecoming Dance. You have to go.”

“No, I’m fine.” Willow smiled.

“Tara’s going to be there.” Buffy teased.

“I know. Sounds tempting but I’m just not ready.” Willow said. “Being there would just remind me of Jamie and I couldn’t handle it.”

“Will, it’s been four years.” Buffy said, while fixing her hair.

“I’m not ready.” Willow said more firmly.

“Fine, then Tara’s night won’t be that great either. Unless someone else asks her to dance.” Buffy said.

“No one’s going to do that.” Willow rolled her eyes.

“How do you know?” You won’t be there to claim her as your own so you don’t have any control of the situation.” Buffy said.

Willow looked down, her face distraught at the fact that Tara would have fun with someone else.

Buffy noticed this and said “Look, this night is important to Tara and she wanted to spend it with you.”

Willow still looked depressed so Buffy said “I’ll keep an eye on her for you.”

Willow smiled a little then Buffy said “Alright, I should be going. Don’t wait up, I won’t be coming home.”

“God Buffy, you’re such a whore!” Willow teased.

“At least I’m going to get some tonight! Oh!” Buffy yelled, flipping Willow off.

“Yeah, that’s probably what you’re parents are doing in Miami right now!” Willow yelled back.

A disgustful look appeared on Buffy’s face and she said “Okay, thanks for ruining my evening before it even started!” then she closed the door.




The dance room looked amazing. Lights were flying everywhere and loud music was banging out of the big speakers. Everyone looked so good in their dresses and tuxedos.

“How lame, they couldn’t afford a live band.” Buffy said, shaking her head with her hands on her hip.

“I know, speakers don’t really set the mood.” Tara agreed.

“Hey guys.” Xander smiled, hiding his flask in his inside pocket of his tux. “Look at those Juniors drink up that punch now.”

“God, you are so bad.” Buffy smiled.

“Where’s Will?” Xander asked.

“She’s at home, watching music videos and eating a large bowl of popcorn.” Buffy said. “I tried to make her come but she resisted.”

“Come on, let’s go dance.” Buffy’s date said.

“God, don’t you want to do anything else? We just got back from the dance floor!” Buffy said, waving her hand in the air.

“No come on, I want to get my groove thang on with you.” He said.

She rolled her eyes and said “Fine, I’ll be back later guys. Hopefully.”

Tara watched as they danced, wishing that she too could go out and have fun.

“Aw, don’t worry Tare, dancing is the most stupidest thing ever. You’re not missing much.” Xander commented.

“Hey, are you Xander?” a girl asked him.

“Yeah…” he breathed. He was too stunned by her beauty.

“I like the thing you did with the punch.” She smiled which just made him giggle in return.

Tara just looked at him like he had two heads. She never heard him giggle like that before.

“Do you maybe want to dance?” she asked him.

“Hell yeah!” he responded. “Catch you later Tare!” then he got up from the table and left.

Tara watched as Buffy and Xander were having a good time while she just sat there, silently wishing she could have a good time too.

Just then, “Angel” by Sarah McLachlan came on. Tara just sat there and played with her napkin.

“Spend all your time waiting”
“For that second chance”
“For a break that would make it okay”

“Care to dance?” a voice asked.

Tara looked up and smiled at who she saw. She took her hand and was led to the dance floor, where she put her arms around her partner’s neck while hands were at her waists.

“I need some distraction”
“Oh beautiful release”
“Memory seeps from my veins”
“Let me be empty”

“I thought you were watching music videos.” Tara smirked.

“I was but I thought it was just wrong that you were somewhere else and I wasn’t with you.” Willow smiled. “As you can see though, I’m not properly dressed.”

Tara noticed the black jeans and the short black top she had on.

“You look great.” Tara smiled. “But you didn’t come here just because you felt guilty right? I didn’t want to pressure you-

“I’m here because I would do anything for you Tara Maclay.” Willow said. “And… I love you.”

Tara was taken aback. Had she heard correctly? Did Willow just say she loved her?

Tears formed in Tara’s eyes and she said “I love you too Willow.”

She put her head on Willow’s shoulder and they swayed to the soft music, oblivious to everyone else.

“You are pulled from the wreckage.”
“Of your silent reverie”
“You’re in the arms of the angel”
“May you find some comfort there”

They held each other close, not wanting the moment to end.




They stumbled into Buffy’s room, in the dark night, kissing each other fiercely. The moon’s light lit the room dimly. While kissing her blonde beauty, Willow closed the door behind her. Once it was shut, Willow kicked off her shoes while Tara took off her heels. Even thought they were apart for that second, it still felt like a lifetime. Willow walked over to Tara, pulling her into another kiss. After minutes of kissing, Willow’s tongue touched Tara’s lips, silently seeking for entry. Tara complied and opened her mouth. Willow plunged her tongue into Tara’s mouth, making Tara moan. Tara’s hands found their way into Willow’s red hair and pulled her closer, not leaving one inch of space between them. Tara’s hands moved down Willow’s neck until they reached for her shirt. She gently tugged at the cloth. Understanding her gesture, Willow lifted her arms while Tara pulled it up and over her head. Tara couldn’t wait any longer. She needed Willow. Right now. She had been waiting too long and she felt like she was going to burst.

Feeling the need herself, Willow went for the zipper on Tara’s back and gently pulled it down, making the garment fall off. Willow kissed Tara’s neck while reaching for her bra clasp. Tara moaned and held Willow’s head closer to her neck.

“Oh Willow.” Tara moaned, her eyes closed from the passion.

Willow moved the straps off of Tara’s shoulders, revealing her in the moonlight. All of a sudden, Tara felt shy. She tried to cover herself with her arms but Willow stopped her.

“Hey, don’t hide from me. You’re so beautiful.” Willow said.

Seeing the sincerity in Willow’s eyes, Tara let her hands fall to her side and pulled Willow in for a hot kiss.

Before they knew it, all clothing was discarded and they fell onto the bed with Willow on top of Tara. Tara moaned at the feeling of Willow’s bare skin against hers. Willow kissed down her neck until she reached her destination. Willow was getting anxious. She had wanted to taste Tara’s breasts from the moment she saw them. She finally descended onto them, making Tara shiver. Tara pulled her head closer to them while Willow swirled her tongue around the nub. Willow was in heaven. She wanted to make Tara’s first time memorable.

After she a few minutes feasting on Tara, she went up her body and kissed her.

“Are you sure you want to do this?” Willow asked. “There’s no coming back from this.”

Tara kissed her to silence her and dragged Willow’s hand down her body. Willow’s eyes grew heavy at Tara being in charge.

“I want you to make love to me Will.” Tara breathed heavily.

Willow nodded and kissed her. Tara’s legs opened wider when she felt Willow’s fingers getting closer. Willow’s index finger played with Tara’s opening while she kissed her neck and sucked, leaving a mark there. Willow looked into Tara’s eyes and thought ‘This is it. Now or never’. Willow plunged her index finger into Tara.

“Ugh!” Tara winced and shut her eyes tight.

“Are you okay?” Willow asked, afraid that she hurt Tara really badly.

Tara nodded and whimpered. “It just hurts.” Tara said.

“I know. I’m sorry.” Willow said. “But I’ll take care of you. You’re safe.”

A few seconds later, Tara lifted her hips up and started a slow rocking motion. She gasped at the feeling of Willow being inside of her. Loving her. She didn’t know it could be this intense. Once Willow felt that Tara was okay, she added her middle finger, making Tara moan. Tara whimpered when Willow’s fingers started pumping faster in her, rubbing her clit simultaneously. Tara’s legs opened wider and clung onto Willow’s hips fiercely. Willow pressed her forehead against Tara’s, looking into her eyes. Seeing the pleasure form on Tara’s face was a sight that almost made Willow come. Sweat glistened everywhere on them, making their rocking much easier. Willow didn’t want to tease Tara any longer so she doubled her efforts and curled her fingers upwards. Tara moaned loudly and kissed Willow hard. Willow knew she hit her g-spot right then and there. Tara started rocking faster, matching Willow’s pumping. Her nails raked across Willow’s back, leaving dark marks all over.

Willow leaned closer to Tara’s ear and whispered “I love you so much baby. Please… come for me.”

Hearing those words, Tara inhaled sharply and clung to Willow. She moaned Willow’s name loudly and held her tight. Willow thought that was the sexiest thing she’s ever heard. Willow rode out Tara’s orgasm, making the blonde shiver. They stayed like that for minutes, maybe even hours. They just didn’t want to move, afraid they would ruin the moment. Hearing Tara’s breathing return to normal, Willow rolled off Tara and laid on her side.

“Hey, are you okay?” Willow asked her, rubbing her cheek with her thumb.

“Better than okay.” Tara sighed and moved closer to Willow.

She rested her head on Willow’s shoulder, falling asleep soon afterwards. They slept peacefully that night, dreaming about the other.



Unknown to them, outside was Faith and Tom, sitting on a tree trunk, high enough to see into Buffy’s window.

Faith forced her eyes to look away from the window. She saw everything that happened between Willow and Tara and she felt like she was going to explode. But she would have her revenge soon enough.

“Did you get it?” Faith asked.

Tom put the camera he was holding down onto his lap and turned it off.

“Oh yeah, I got it all.” Tom said.

“Good because it’s going to be one hell of a show tomorrow.” Faith smiled evilly.

[iloveamber]

Hey everyone. Okay, here’s the uh oh part of the story. Enjoy it and also the get the song that comes on later because it just makes everything even more sad. Please lots of feedback people, I feel better thanks to your previous feedback. Oh well, read on!








The sun shone through the window, waking Willow up. She stirred and groaned while she opened her eyes slowly. It took her a moment to realize where she was but then memories from last night came flooding back to her. She smiled at the thought. She looked down and saw Tara sleeping peacefully on the pillow next to hers. She turned towards her and watched her sleep.

A few minutes later, Tara stirred. She opened her eyes to find green eyes fixed on her.

“Hey.” Tara yawned.

“Hey.” Willow smiled.

“How long have you been watching me?” Tara smirked.

“Sorry, I just couldn’t help it. You looked so stunning.” Willow smiled.

Tara touched her messy hair and said “I beg to differ.”

“No, you do.” Willow said seriously.

“Smooth talker.” Tara teased and they both laughed. “I guess last night wasn’t a dream.” She said, looking around.

“Far from it.” Willow kissed her lips, getting a moan out of Tara.

“I love it when you do that.” Willow said.

“What?” Tara asked, with her eyes still closed.

“Moan.” Willow put simply. “Especially last night when you moaned my name repeatedly.” She smirked.

“Mmm, like this? Oh Willow.” Tara faked a moan.

“Ooh, do it again, I like.” Willow smiled.

“What will you give me if I do?” Tara asked.

Willow’s eyebrow quirked and she said “You want to see?” She rolled on top of Tara, kissing her and losing themselves to passion once more.




Willow walked Tara to her class and gave her a lingering kiss before they parted. Willow walked to her class when Buffy caught up with her.

“So?” Buffy asked her.

“Hi to you too Buff.” Willow said.

“How was it?” Buffy asked excitedly.

“None of your business.” Willow smiled.

“Oh come on, give me details.” Buffy pleaded. “You owe me for giving you the house all to yourself last night.”

Willow sighed and said “All I can say is that there are no regrets. You were right Buff. Only good can come from this.”



Willow sat I history class, listening to the lecture. She actually found it quite interesting. Herself being Jewish could relate to the Holocaust and the pain. It was funny. About a month ago, she would have cared less about class but now she was really applying herself. She started getting good grades like she used to and her personality dramatically changed. It was like she was a whole new person. Like her old self again and she had her blonde goddess to thank.

A voice on the intercom came on, breaking her out of her concentration.

“Will everyone please report to the gym for this morning’s drug awareness assembly?” Snyder said. “Teachers, please excuse your students for this important event.”

Willow went with her class and walked out, sighing for her future boredom. ‘Snyder and his damn drug assembly. He should think about taking some. He could really use them.’ She snickered at the thought.



Snyder was on his way out of his office when he stopped.

“Oh, my keys. Duh, I need to lock up my office.” He said.

When he grabbed his keys, a hand came over his mouth and someone grabbed him from behind.

“Don’t make a sound.” Tom whispered.

Faith put the blind fold onto Snyder’s eyes and they tied him up to his office chair.


Willow was close to the gym when she felt someone push her into the janitor’s closet right next to her.

“What the hell?” Willow asked in darkness.

The light came on and she saw Tara smirking.

“Tara, what are you doing?” Willow asked.

“I thought we could be a little late.” Tara smiled.

“God, you’re such a vixen.” Willow smiled.

“You’re vixen.” Tara said, walking sensually to Willow.

They met in a passionate kiss and started making out, occasionally knocking over some brooms and cleaning sprays.



After twenty minutes of fun in the closet, Willow and Tara were walking to the gym hand in hand. They opened the door slightly, trying to sneak in without bringing attention to themselves.

“Well, look who it is!” Faith said in the mic.

Willow and Tara stopped dead in their tracks when a spotlight came on them. Willow’s eyes widened when she saw everyone’s eyes on them. What confused her was why Faith was standing in the middle of the gym with a microphone in her hand.

“Faith?” Willow asked.

“Nice of you to finally join us.” Faith said. “We couldn’t start without the main stars.”

Willow and Tara walked over to Faith and Willow asked “What the hell are you doing?”

Willow looked over to the door and saw Tom’s brother, Jeff, blocking the door so no teachers could come in and ruin Faith’s plan.

“I’m just having a little fun.” Faith smirked. “You already had yours last night.”

“How did you-

Faith turned her attention to the audience and said “All of you know Willow Rosenberg right? I mean, the ladies especially.”

Willow’s eyes widened at what Faith said.

“You see, we all believed that Red here has fucked every girl in the school.” Faith said. “But then little miss Tara Maclay comes along and ruins that reputation. But last night, that reputation came back.”

“Faith, stop it!” Willow growled.

Faith ignored her and said “Yes, it’s true! Tara isn’t so pure anymore!”

The crowd started mumbling and whispering “Oh my gods!”

‘Oh no.’ Tara thought. ‘Thank god dad’s not here.’ She felt so embarrassed she just wanted to hide.

“Yup and I have proof.” Faith said. “Roll the tape Tom!”

A screen came rolling down behind Faith and caught everyone’s attention. What was being shown on it horrified Willow. There, on the screen, was a video of her and Tara making love the night before. Willow cringed at the sight. All she could hear was Tara’s moans on the screen and people laughing in the stands.

“Damn, that’s hot!” a guy from the stands yelled out.

Willow looked to Tara who was about to cry.

“Well Red, even though you fucked her by the right date, I still don’t have to pay you since you called off the bet.” Faith said in the mic.

Willow’s eyes widened. ‘Oh shit!’ she thought. She looked to Tara who had a confused but yet hurtful expression on her face. Willow was deeply scared of what would happen next.

“Willow, what’s she talking about?” Tara asked, terrified of the answer. Tears were already forming in her eyes.

Willow couldn’t say anything. She couldn’t believe this was happening.

“Yeah, tell her what I’m talking about Red.” Faith smiled.

Willow felt like her world was literally falling apart. She stayed silent until Faith spoke up.

“No? Okay, then I’ll tell her.” Faith said. “You see Tara, Red and I had a little deal going on when school started. I bet her that she couldn’t have sex with you by today and she won. I seriously thought you wouldn’t give her the time of day but look at that, you ended up giving yourself to her.” Faith smirked and looked up at the screen. “Wow, you look pretty good for a virgin.”

“No, this can’t be true.” Tara whispered, tears rolling down her cheeks.

“Afraid so princess.” Faith said. “Why else would you think Red here wanted to be your friend.” Faith said.

‘Cordelia was right.’ Tara thought.

“Tara please, let me explain.” Willow pleaded. “You don’t understand-

“Willow, I want you to answer my question honestly.” Tara cried. “Did you or did you not…(sob) seduce me because of some deal you had with Faith?”

“No you see, it wasn’t exactly like that-

“Just answer yes or no please!” Tara cried. “Be honest with me for the first time.”

Willow closed her eyes to hold back her tears and said “Yes.”

Tara put her hand over her mouth and said “Oh my god.”

Everyone in the crowd gasped and started whispering.

“Red here is a machine.” Faith said, putting her arm around Willow’s shoulders.

Tara started backing away from Willow and Faith. “You’re so not who I thought you were.” She said to Willow.

“Tara, wait!” Willow reached out to touch her.

“Don’t touch me!” Tara whispered harshly, smacking Willow’s hand away.

“Tara, please!” Willow cried, reaching for Tara’s hand again.

“Don’t fucking touch me Willow!” Tara yelled, slapping Willow across her cheek.

Willow winced from the pain and kept her eyes closed.

“You don’t have that right.” Tara said then ran out the door.

Willow watched her leave, too stunned to even move. She couldn’t move. She had just lost the love of her life.

“It’s All Over but the Crying” by Garbage comes on.

Willow starts walking towards the door.

“Aw, leaving so soon Red?” Faith yelled out to her.

Willow stopped and looked at Faith with the most evil eyes she had ever given anybody. She turned back to the door and walked out. Faith just watched her go, feeling some regret for making her best friend feel this distraught. Or ex-best friend now.

“Show’s over.” Faith whispered.

“Everything you think you know baby
Is wrong
And everything you think you had baby
Is gone”

A door opens and Tara is standing there with an overnight sleeping bag. Kathy says “Come here” and she pulls Tara into a hug. Tara just cries on her shoulder.

“Everything you think you know baby
Is wrong

It's all over but the crying
Fade to black I'm sick of trying”

Willow sits on Buffy’s bed, staring off into space, She couldn’t believe that she had caused Tara so much pain.

“It's all over but the crying”

Music: Buffy brings Willow some food but she just ignores her. Willow gets up and stares out the window. Buffy just leaves the food and walks out.

“Do you really think I'm made of stone baby?
C'mon!
That we only love the things we own?
Baby you're wrong”

Kathy and Tara are sitting on the couch watching a movie. Kathy is laughing but Tara just sits there, looking depressed.

“And love can really tear you up and it can break you down
Everything you think you know baby
Is wrong

It's all over but the crying”

At school: Tara’s in math class. Instead of paying attention to her dad’s teachings, she’s staring at Willow’s seat in front of her, which was empty.

Took too much and now I'm done
It's all over but the crying

Solo: Willow is in the music room, holding the guitar. She’s too distraught to play it so she just sits there.

Tara is eating alone and studying like she used to. Willow sees her and stares at her. Willow leaves at the painful sight.

If I could I would
I'd change everything

At home, Tara’s head is in her mom’s lap. Tear streaks on her cheek give the idea that she’s been crying for awhile. Linda just comforts her daughter by stroking her hair and saying loving words.

Willow just lies in Buffy’s bed and wallows in her self pity.

Everything you think you know baby
Is wrong
And everything you think you had baby
Is gone

Willow turns the corner and walks down the halls of the school. She stops when she sees Tara.

Baby we're done

Tara quickly looks away from her eyes and keeps walking until she’s almost going to pass her. When she does, Willow looks back at her but then decides to keep walking. Tara looks back at Willow with tears forming in her eyes and then walks away. Both going their separate ways.

[Soluna89]

Dibs... but sad dibs...

ugh! *shoots Faith repeatedly* Please say it gets better...!

[ShyTemptress]

-whimpers- fix it!

[willowbaby05]

Oh. My. God. That had to be the most depressing update yet. **ok, I'm offically in the Kill.Kaith Club. With a shotgun** I pray it get's better. Oh yeah can you have Willow do a serous ass kicking on Faith!? Hope you update soon.

[iloveamber]

Hey guys, I’m so sorry I took so long with this update. Work and laziness had overtaken me. Sorry this one’s short but I’ll make it up to you in the next one. Please leave me lots of feedback!







Buffy and Willow were in Buffy’s room, sitting on her bed.

“I really fucked things up.” Willow sighed.

“It’s not your fault, its Faith’s.” Buffy said, trying to comfort her friend.

“Yeah, but I took the bet.” Willow said, looking down.

“And you ended it.” Buffy finished. “Quite trying to put yourself down.”

“I’ve got to talk to Tara.” Willow said. “I haven’t seen her all weekend.”

“I don’t think she wants to see you right now.” Buffy said. “Have you tried calling her?”

“She hasn’t returned any of my calls.” Willow said. “Wait, you’ve become close friends with her. Convince her to eat with us tomorrow at lunch.”

“I don’t think that’s going to work.” Buffy said.

“Sure it will. Just don’t mention that I’ll be there.” Willow said. “It’ll be like accidentally running into me.”

“I don’t know.” Buffy said.

“Please Buff. I need to see her.” Willow pleaded.

Buffy just sighed.





Tara was walking out of math class and headed towards her locker.

“Hey.” Buffy said, grabbing her shoulder.

Tara turned and frowned at who she saw. “Leave me alone.” She told Buffy.

“Whoa, wait a minute, why are you mad at me?” Buffy asked her.

“Don’t tell me you didn’t know about the bet.” Tara said, putting her books away.

Buffy stayed silent for a moment then said “Okay, I did know.”

Tara was about to walk away when Buffy stopped her.

“Hey, it wasn’t any of my business. I couldn’t get involved.” Buffy told her.

“You could have stopped her!” Tara said loudly.

“Look, you’re mad at Will, not me!” Buffy defended. “Don’t try and make me out to the bad guy.”

Tara stayed silent for a moment then said “I know.” She sighed. “You’re right. I just wish none of this happened.”

“I know but everything will eventually be okay. I know it will.” Buffy smiled, making Tara smile a little for the first time in days.






After going to her locker, Willow was walking towards the front door. She passed the principal’s office and heard voices talking loudly. She stopped to listen, her curiosity getting the better of her.

“How could this happen again? Is someone just playing a dirty trick on me?” Donald Maclay yelled.

“I don’t know but we’ll find the person Donald!” Snyder said.

Willow furrowed her brow and leaned closer to the door, trying to understand what they were talking about.

“I mean, how many times is my check going to be stolen?” Donald yelled.

“We’ll catch him or her.” Snyder told him.

Willow’s eyes widened. ‘What, it’s stolen again?’ she thought. ‘How could that be? No one else knew where it was except me and…

Willow started to grow angry as she thought of the one person who could have taken it.





Willow stormed outside and saw Xander and Faith at their usual table. Xander was sitting on the bench as Faith was sitting on top of the table as usual.

Willow walked over and said “New boots?” as she noticed her brand new shoes.

“Huh, oh yeah.” Faith said, showing them to Willow. “Look Red, I’m sorry for what happened in the gym but you’re better off.”

“How did you pay for those?” Willow asked, ignoring her attempt to apologize.

“Why are you suddenly interested in how I get my shit?” Faith asked her.

“Oh I don’t know, maybe because you stole Mr. Maclay’s check to pay for them!” Willow yelled.

“That’s bullshit!” Faith yelled back.

“You were the only one beside me who knew where the check was!” Willow yelled.

“So, you admit you stole the check before then?” Faith asked.

“Of course, you fucking know that! I told you my plan!” Willow said.

Faith smiled evilly and motioned with her eyes for Willow to turn around. There she saw Snyder, Mr. Maclay, Tara and Buffy standing there, looking shocked.

“I knew it!” Snyder yelled. “I told you Donald! This girl is just bad news!”

Donald just shook his head and headed inside the school building.

Snyder walked up to Willow and said “You’re in deep trouble. You’re lucky I’m not calling the cops for this.”

Willow sighed and looked relieved.

“Oh no, I’m going to do something that will really hurt you.” Snyder said. “Willow Rosenberg, you are hereby expelled from this high school.”

“No Snyder, you can’t do this to me! I’ve been getting good grades and-

“Save it Rosenberg! You’re out, now get your stuff and leave the premises at once!” Snyder said harshly. He leaned closer and whispered in her ear “I told you I’d finally get you.” And he smiled evilly and left.

Willow looked to Tara who was shocked. “How could you?” she asked, her voice cracking. “You knew Yale was important to me, you knew it! Is there anything horrible you haven’t done?” she asked, her eyes filling with tears.

Willow just looked down to the floor and stayed quiet.

“Man, your life is just a shithole, isn’t Red?” Faith laughed.

Willow slowly turned her eyes around and saw Faith laughing and trying to get Xander to join in. Willow walked towards her and pushed her off the table. Faith flew backwards, not knowing what hit her. People nearby stopped eating and started crowding around.

Faith got up quickly and asked “You sure you want to do that Red?”

Willow just stood there and tried to look tough. Faith ran over to Willow and pushed her hard. They kept pushing each other until Faith got Willow into a headlock. Willow tried to struggle out of Faith’s hold but couldn’t get out. People nearby started cheering.

“Fight, fight, fight!” they yelled.

Willow’s face was becoming red from lack of air. She couldn’t believe Faith was actually choking her to death.

“Faith, stop it!” Tara yelled.

Willow was gasping for air and trying to get out so she could breathe.

“What, I thought you could take me on!” Faith yelled. “You actually thought you could beat me up? I taught you these fucking moves!”

She pushed Willow into the table and slammed her face onto it hard, holding her there while Willow got a breath or two.

“You give?” Faith asked.

Willow just clenched her teeth and pushed away from the bench, knocking into Faith. They both fell on the floor but Willow recovered quickly. She rolled on top of Faith and started punching her profusely, making her nose bleed. Faith blocked Willow’s next punch and punched her back, making Willow fall on her back. Faith got up and stood in front of Willow, wiping the blood off with her hand. Willow quickly got up and pushed Faith, who stumbled back.

“Willow, stop it!” Tara yelled, angry that Willow wanted to continue this foolish charade.

“Tara, get out of here!” Willow yelled to Tara then looked back at Faith.

They started pushing each other again, over and over. Willow’s blood was boiling. All she wanted to do was make Faith feel the pain she’s been feeling over the past couple of days. Tara on the other hand, had enough. This was pointless and somebody was just going to get hurt. She tried to walk over to Willow and Faith but a hand stopped her by grabbing her arm.

“Tara, no. You should stay back.” Buffy warned her. She knew how fights were and there was a chance Tara could get hurt too.

But Tara ignored her and walked over to them.

“Come on Red, show me what you got!” Faith challenged.

Tara touched Willow’s shoulder and tried to make her face her.

“Willow, stop this!” Tara tried to reason.

“Tara, just get out of here! Go!” Willow quickly turned around and pushed Tara, who fell backwards on the floor.

Willow’s eyes widened when it dawned on her what she just did. Tara couldn’t believe what just happened. Willow actually hit her!

She slowly got up, never taking her shocked eyes off of Willow.

“Tara.” Willow said, reaching her hand out to her. “I’m so sorry.”

Tara flinched when Willow walked closer and she backed away.

“Tara, please.” Willow pleaded. “I’m s- I’m sorry.” She choked.

Tara just walked back in the building with Buffy following her. Willow sighed in frustration at the way her life was going at the moment. She had lost her true love. She lost her reason for living.

Okay, now I know what your are trying to do: Kill us because of a broken heart. Like poor W/T.

Just read the hole story all at once. It's really amazing and I like it even with this "treating the girls really bad"-touch. My only hope is that your not going to make them suffer that much longer.

Willow kinda bears the blame for herself. That's what you get if your not honest with the person you love: misunderstandings and problems. How should Tara be able to know about her true feelings? If all she get's is lies, lies, lies. And that's what it is looking like from Tara's point of view. But please bring them back together soon. Let them talk. Otherwise they would die of not eating properly.

Ok yes, Faith. I'm kinda struck you don't like her. You really made her the bad person in this story. And therefore I'm joing the "I hate Faith"-Club. She needs some serious punishment. She should be forced to make it up to Willow by explaining the right things to Tara. And why did she behave like that anyway? I think she secretly is in love with Willow. And not able to admit it even to herself. Such a shame. Go Faith bring things in order.

[will]

HO.MY.GOD how can you do this?
please update soon i really can't wait to know what will happen next.
I hope that willow and tara will talk soon and i am joing the "I hate Faith"-Club too.

[willowbaby05]

THAT. WAS. SO. MISSED. UP. Okay, now your just being cruel!! That was really sad, but Willow beat Faith's ass so I'm really not complaining.. But still, this just cant get any more depressing. I really in enjoyed reading it though.. Update soon
Willow Kicked Faith's Ass!!!

[AlysonGoddess]

[Orpheus18]

WOW!!! I just found this story and I am so glad I did. It is awesome. I really hope Tara lets Willow explian. I mean I think it wouldn't be as bad if Tara knew that Willow stopped the bet because she really fell in love with her. Man, I hope that you write soonish or I'm gonna go insane with wait. Love it.

And for a great story I will give you a group of dancers.






Keep it up.

[caz]

I really like this story! We need our girls to be together sooner rather than later.

Oh, and Faith needs her arse kicked around the school yard - preferable by Willow with Tara cheering her on!

More soon please.

Hey guys, sorry for the short update on the last one. I made this one extra long so enjoy! Please leave lots of feedback.






Willow was in her old room in her trailer. She was lying in bed, staring up at the ceiling. She was lucky her father wasn’t there at the moment. She decided to spend the rest of her life in bed, feeling sorry for herself. Meanwhile, “It’s Been Awhile” by Staind was playing on her radio, which wasn’t making her feel better. She kept replaying the day’s earlier events in her head. The way that Tara looked at her after she pushed her. How terrified she was. How disappointed she was.

“It’s been awhile, since I could hold my head up high”
“And it’s been awhile since I first saw you.”
“And it’s been awhile since I couldn’t stand on my own two feet again.”
“And it’s been awhile since I couldn’t call you.”

“What else is new?” Willow sighed. “I always fuck things up. I should have guessed I would ruin this great thing I had.”

Willow frowned and said “God, I’m so depressed. Damn this music.”

“Is this how you’re going to spend the rest of your life?” a voice asked her.

Willow shot up from her bed and saw who was at the door.

“What the fuck are you doing here?” she asked.

There, stood Tom at the door.

“I came by to see if your life was rotting away yet.” Tom said. He looked around the room and noticed it was a mess. “And it looks like it too. Did a hurricane hit your room?”

“Get the fuck out! You have no right to be here!” Willow yelled. “You helped Faith make my life a living hell!”

“Look about that, I just did it for the money.” Tom said.

“Yeah, don’t we all?” Willow said spitefully, referencing her bet with Faith.

“I didn’t know she was going to do when I took the job, okay?” Tom defended.

“Oh and that’s supposed to make everything all better?” Willow said coldly.

“Look, I’m sorry.” Tom said.

Willow just turned her back to him and lay back down on the bed. Tom walked in, noticing that Willow was just going to ignore him. He took a seat in a nearby chair.

“Maybe you should do something to Faith. I’ll help you.” Tom offered.

“Just leave me alone.” Willow rolled her eyes.

“Why did you do it?” Tom asked.

“What?” Willow asked, annoyed by his presence.

“End the bet. Why did you do it?” He asked her.

Willow turned towards him and said “I don’t really want to discuss it with you!”

“Fine.” Tom said, looking around the room.

They stayed silent for a few minutes, just looking around the room. Knowing that he didn’t have any intention of leaving, Willow sighed.

“Because she was worth it.” Willow told him.

“What?” Tom asked.

“You asked me why I ended the bet. It’s because she was worth it.” Willow said. “She made me feel like I was important, like she needed me.” Willow looked down and said “No one’s ever needed me before. She made me believe I could be a better person than I was.”

“Did you love her?” Tom asked.

“Yeah, I DO love her.” Willow said. “And I always will, even if she doesn’t forgive me for everything I’ve done.”

She just closed her eyes and let the music wash over her.

Tom sighed and said “Okay, come on.”

She opened her eyes and looked at him quizzically.

“What?” she asked him.

“You’re coming with me.” Tom said, turning off the music. “You’re leaving this depressing mess you call a room and we’re going to go out and have fun.”

“Thanks but I don’t think so.” Willow said, laying back down on the bed.

Tom rolled his eyes and went to the side of her bed. He lifted the mattress, causing Willow to fall on the floor.

“Ow!” She said, rubbing her head.

“Come on, get dressed!” Tom told her.

“Where are we going?” Willow groaned.

“You’ll see.” He said, tossing her her ratty jean jacket.








A knock on the door brought Tara out of her thoughts.

“Come in.” she said softly, wiping the tears from her cheeks.

“Hey sweetie.” Donald said. “How are you feeling?”

“Fine.” She mumbled.

He walked over and sat on her bed.

“You hardly ate anything at dinner.” He said.

“Wasn’t hungry.” She told him.

“Honey, you have to eat something.” He said. “This isn’t healthy. You’re cooped up in your room all day, you hardly eat anything-

Tara sighed and turned to lay on her other side.

“Look, I know I can’t understand what you’re feeling but if you ever want to talk about it, just know I’m always here to listen.” He said.

He knelt down and kissed her on her head. She just closed her eyes, letting more tears fall while her dad got up. When he was about to walk out, Tara spoke up.

“You were right about her.” Tara choked.

“What?” he asked.

She turned towards him and said “Before, when you didn’t like her. You said that she was a troublemaker and she would ruin my whole future. You were right.”

“No I wasn’t.” Donald said, walking back. “Willow’s a nice girl.”

“How could you say that!” Tara said loudly. “She hurt me! She humiliated me!”

“Exactly! You’re hurt! That’s why you can’t see it!” Donald said.

“See what?” she asked him.

“Her love for you.” Donald told her. “I saw it everyday in her eyes when she looked at you. Just like I still see it in your eyes.”

“How do you know that if you don’t know anything?” Tara asked him.

He frowned in confusion.

“You don’t know what happened that day Dad. You weren’t in the gym.” Tara said. “You don’t know what she did to me.”

Tara again turned her back to him and lay on her side. Donald just sighed and quietly left the room.

‘Why can’t the pain just go away?’ Tara thought to herself.









“Chug, chug, chug!” Tom yelled.

Willow closed her eyes tight as she felt the gross drink slide down her throat.

“Whoo, twenty shots, that’s impressive!” Tom smiled.

“I live for the drink.” Willow said with a slur in her speech.

“Hey, since you’re sitting on that table, why don’t you give us a lap dance?” Jeff asked.

“Hey, shut up man!” Tom shoved his brother.

“What, I was just kidding.” Jeff laughed.

“Hey, thank you guys for this. It’s been awhile since I’ve had this much fun and who knew it was going to be with you guys.” Willow said sleepily.

“Anything to help you get over heartache.” Tom said. “It can really be a bitch!”

“Yeah, no shit!” Jeff said, taking another sip of his beer. “Tom here, said you really fucked things up and that you needed a night like this.”

“Hell yeah!” Willow agreed, clinking her shot glass against Jeff’s beer bottle.

“What’d you do anyway?” Jeff asked.

“I fucked a girl and Faith got it on tape and showed it to the entire school.” Willow smiled, with her eyes half-closed.

“Oh damn.” Jeff said.

“Oh, I almost forgot! I hit her too!” Willow told him.

“Who, Faith?” Jeff asked excitedly.

“No, well yeah but, I hit my girl too you fucking idiot!” Willow said angrily, feeling the alcohol flow in her veins.

“I pushed her hard and she fell backwards!” Willow said, leaning backwards. She almost fell off the table but Tom caught her.

“Whoa, easy there.” He said, while she just laughed.

“Willow, what are you doing?” a voice asked her.

Still lying in Tom’s arms, she looked up and saw an upside down Buffy looking angry at her.

“Whoa Buffy, did you know that you could walk on ceilings?” Willow asked, laughing while Tom and Jeff joined her.

Tom set her down and she fixed her hair.

“What’s going on? What are you doing?” Buffy asked.

“What does it look like Sherlock?” Willow asked, grabbing another shot.

Buffy tried to grab it from her but during the struggle, it landed on the floor.

“Oh shit! That was my last one!” Willow whined.

“What the hell are you doing?” Buffy asked her again, getting more angry.

“Oh relax mom! I’m just enjoying life.” Willow said.

“I’ve been looking for you all night, come on!” Buffy said, but Willow pulled her hand from Buffy’s.

“No, I don’t want to!” Willow said.

“Well, I’m not giving you a choice!” Buffy said, dragging her to the door.

“Let go!” Willow said, pushing Buffy hard into the door, making Buffy gasp from the pain.

Buffy stood there, too shocked that just like Tara, she pushed her too.

“You’re going to start hitting all of your friends now?” Buffy asked.

Willow just stood there, angrily looking at her.

“Fine, if this is the life you want then go ahead and live it!” Buffy said. “Be a drunk bum for the rest of your life, just like your father!” then she left.

Tom and Jeff came up from behind Willow.

“Hey, you don’t need her Will.” Tom said. “All you need is this.”

He held out some kind of pill in front of her but in her drunken state, she couldn’t tell what it was.

“Just stick out your tongue and all of your problems will disappear.” Tom told her.

She smiled and did just that. In seconds, the pill was down her throat, ready to make her night one she would never forget.








Knock! Knock!

“Come in!” Linda said, lying in bed with her book and glasses.

Tara sheepishly walked in.

“Hey Tara.” Linda said, setting her book down.

“Hey, where’s dad?” Tara asked, looking around the room.

“He’s downstairs doing the dishes.” Linda said. “How are you feeling honey?”

“Same.” Tara sighed.

“Oh come here.” Linda said, holding her arms out.

Tara walked over and laid on her mom’s chest while Linda stroked her hair.

“I just feel like some drama queen still crying over this.” Tara sniffed.

“It’s perfectly normal, you’re in pain. And she was your first love.” Linda explained. “You had something special with Willow and you can’t just get over it in minutes.”

“Especially with what happened.” Tara said. She pushed herself up and looked into her mother’s eyes.

“Why did she do it mom?” Tara asked in a child’s voice. “I mean, how could she? Did I not mean anything to her?”

“What happened?” Linda asked her.

“I already told you.” Tara said, her brow furrowing in confusion.

“Yes you told me about the bet she made. But it seems like you’re angry about something else.” Linda said.

Tara sighed and said “She um, showed a video of me and her in front of the whole school.” Tara said nervously.

“Well, what’s so bad about that? Were secrets revealed on the tape?” Linda asked.

“No, um… on the tape, we were… making love.” Tara said quietly.

“Oh.” Linda said. That’s all she could say. She didn’t know that their relationship went that far.

“Yeah.” Tara said, looking down.

“Well the good thing is, I don’t have to talk to you about birth control.” Linda giggled.

“You’re not mad?” Tara asked her.

“No but was worth it?” Linda asked.

“What do you mean?” Tara said.

“I mean, if you knew all of this was going to happen, would you have not befriended Willow?” Linda asked.

Tara thought about it for a second. She instantly knew she wouldn’t have traded any of her time with Willow. Every moment was precious. Thoughts of Willow were running through her mind.

Willow talking to her the first day of school.

Willow giving her the rose.

Going to the Garbage concert together.

Kissing each other in the rain.

Dancing at the Homecoming Dance.

Making love that night.


“No.” Tara said. “I would have still hung out with her.”

“Because?” Linda asked.

“Because… I still love her.” Tara said. “Oh god help me, I still love her.” She laughed, putting her hands over her eyes.

“Yeah, you do.” Linda smiled. “And I think you should talk to her about this, get all of it sorted out.”

“Thanks mom.” Tara smiled, hugging her.








The music blared out of the speakers, making the floor vibrate tremendously. The colored lights were flying all over the dance floor while the people danced crazily. Willow was dancing with Tom and Jeff just loosing herself to the music. Dragula by Rob Zombie started to come on.

Willow blinked a few times and her vision started to blur. She started to breathe heavily.

“Hey Will, are you okay…okay…okay?” Tom’s voice echoed through Willow’s head.

“I think I need to use the bathroom!” Willow yelled over the music.

She stumbled over to the restroom, occasionally knocking into tables and spilling drinks.

“Do we do it now?” Jeff asked his brother.

“Not yet. We need to wait until she starts to freak out.” Tom smiled evilly.



Buffy was still storming home when she ran into someone.

“Ow, watch it!” Faith yelled. “Oh, it’s you Blondie.”

“Not now Faith.” Buffy said, rolling her eyes and walking past her.

“Hey wait, do you know where Red is?” Faith asked.

“Why, want to make her life more miserable?” Buffy asked her harshly.

“None of your business but no.” Faith said. “I just wanted to tell her I was sorry. For everything.”

“It’s a little late for that. Besides, she’s too drunk to remember it tomorrow morning.” Buffy said. “Bronze shouldn’t be selling beer to minors.”

“What?” Faith asked, looking at her confused. “She never gets drunk, I thought it was impossible?”

“Yeah, well she’s pretty out of it.” Buffy said. “And she’s with Tom and Jeff of all people.”

“Please tell me that’s a joke!” Faith said, getting hysterical.

“Why?” Buffy asked.

“Buffy, she’s not safe with them!” Faith said. “Tom never forgave her for what she did to him!” then she ran off to find them.







Willow barged in the bathroom, making the door swing all the way back. She stared at herself in the mirror in front of her. She never felt like this before. It felt like her head was so noisy and voices were appearing, telling her things. She blinked a few times, trying to get the visions out. Visions of Buffy’s angry face looking at her. A vision of Tara looking disappointed at her. Visions of people in the gym laughing.

“Stop it! Stop it!” Willow yelled loudly.

“Hey are you okay?” a girl asked.

Feeling someone touch her, Willow screamed and stepped back, cornering herself in a wall.

“Should I get someone?” she asked, walking towards her.

But all Willow saw was Tara’s face saying “How could you?”

“Leave me alone!” Willow yelled, running out of the bathroom. She ran into a crowd of people and grabbed her head, thinking that would help make the voices go away.

“There she is. Let’s do it.” Tom said to Jeff.

They followed Willow as she ran out of the Bronze. Willow didn’t know what to do. She just ran and ran. Her head felt like it was going to explode. She ran out in the nearby park but someone knocked her down.

“Get off me!” Willow yelled without looking. “Get the fuck off me!”

“Shut up!” Jeff yelled, as he picked her up and put her in his truck.

Willow calmed down after awhile and looked at the guys.

“Oh thank god it’s you guys.” Willow sighed. She looked up ahead and noticed there was nothing but a dirt road. “Guys, what’s going on?”

Jeff stopped the truck when they reached their deserted spot.

“Get out!” Tom yelled, grabbing her shirt collar. He pulled her, making her fall hard on the dirt floor.

“Ow, where are we?” Willow asked, a slight slur still in her speech.

Tom walked up to her and punched her in the face. Willow fell back, groaning from the unexpected blow.

“What’s the matter Rosenberg? I thought you were tough?” Tom yelled.

Willow made a move to get up but Jeff kicked her.

“Stay down! My bro isn’t finished yet!” Jeff yelled.

Willow coughed, feeling blood flow down her nose and lip.

Tom grabbed her and made her look at him. Her eyes were barely open but what she saw frightened her. Tom took out his pocket knife and opened it.

“You think you could fuck my girlfriend and get away with it?” Tom said spitefully.

“What the hell are you talking about?” Willow asked him.

“You remember. Karen Miller, four years ago!” Tom said. “She was a short blonde girl, always wore those mini skirts.”

Then it dawned on her. She remembered that girl perfectly but she didn’t know that she was dating Tom at the time.







Faith barged in and ran into the bar.

“Billy!” Faith yelled, trying to get his attention.

“Hey Faith, your usual?” Billy asked her, throwing his towel over his shoulder.

“No, where’s Tom and Jeff?” she asked him.

“Oh I thought you didn’t like them? They’re just trouble, you should stay away from them.” He said, pouring someone a beer.

“Did you see Red with them?” Faith asked.

“Yeah, she was having a grand ol’ time too.” He told her. “But they left.”

“Shit, where did they go?” Faith asked.

“Faith, just don’t worry about it. I’m sure they’ll just pass out in the gutter or something.” He said.

She grabbed him by the shirt collar and pulled him over the counter. “No, I need to know right now!”







Screams pierced the dark night where no one could hear. Willow was lying on the floor, blood smeared all over clothes and face. Cuts were made all over her body, bruises appearing on her face and a mean open cut just above her left eye on her brow, blood easily flowing from the wound.

“Come on, I think she’s had enough.” Tom said, grabbing Jeff.

Jeff stared at Willow who was unconscious from lost of blood and he smiled. Then they drove off, leaving her dirty and battered.






Faith spent an hour looking everywhere and she ended up quite far from the town. She was almost to the borderline to leave Sunnydale when she noticed a dark figure lying on the side of the road. She ran over and her eyes widened.

“Oh shit.” She muttered. “Red?” she asked, choking back a sob. “Dude, you’re tough! Get up! You’re okay, you have to be okay.”

She shook Willow’s shoulder and rolled her over closer to her.

“Oh my god.” Faith said, as she saw more of Willow’s cuts, revealed under her ripped clothes.

“It’s okay. I’ve got you.” Faith said, picking her up. “You’ll be okay.” She whispered, walking back to town with Willow in her arms.







An hour later…

“Good night mom.” Tara said.

“Night sweetheart.” Linda smiled, giving her daughter a hug.

“Mom, thanks for talking to me tonight.” Tara said.

“You’re welcome but I think you should thank your father too.” Linda said.

“Okay, you’re right.” Tara said then walked downstairs and met her dad in the kitchen.

She walked up to him and gave him a hug.

“Whoa, what was that for?” he asked.

“Everything.” She simply stated.

“You’re smiling.” He noticed.


“Because I love you and mom.” Tara said.

“Well, I love you too.” He said, hugging her back tightly.

“I just wanted to thank you for trying to make me feel better.” Tara said.

“Anything for my little girl.” Donald said. “Why don’t you go brush your teeth and get ready for bed?”

“Okay.” She said then walked over to the stairs.

Just then the doorbell rang. ‘Who could that be at this hour?’ Tara thought.

“Tara, will you get the door?” Donald asked.

“Okay dad!” Tara yelled out to him.

She opened the door and her eyes widened.

“Faith, what are you-

She looked at the person lying in Faith’s arms and she literally stopped breathing.

“Oh my god Willow!” Tara said, covering her mouth.

Faith let herself in and put Willow on Tara’s couch.

“Oh my god, what did you do to her?” Tara said, feeling her anger rise.

“I didn’t do anything!” Faith defended. “Look, just call an ambulance! Then she walked to the door.

“Wait, where are you going?” Tara asked her.

Faith ignored her and kept walking out. She couldn’t stand to see Willow looking so…weak.

Tara looked over Willow and gasped at the deep cuts made all over her body. The blood pouring from the wound on her head and her bruised face.

“Tara, who was it?” Donald asked then his eyes fell upon the unmoving figure lying on his couch.

“Oh my god, Tara call 911!” Donald yelled while he ran over to Willow. He checked for a pulse and found one, even though it was weak.

“Dad, will she be okay?” Tara sobbed.

“I don’t know, Tara go grab the phone!” Donald yelled.

“What’s with all the commotion?” Linda asked, coming down the stairs. “Oh god, is that Willow?” she asked, her hand covering her mouth.

“Linda, grab the phone and call 911 please!” Donald told her.

Linda nodded and dialed, telling the other line their address.

“Dammit Willow, give me some sign you’re awake!” Donald said, shaking Willow’s face. “Can you hear me?” he asked her but got no response.

Tara sat on the floor, her knees too weak to hold her weight. She cried, wondering who could do this to Willow. Her Willow.
