Tara looked down at her watch as she smiled brightly.She thought to herself *Time to Meet Willow!!!!* She grabbed her coat and she walked out of her dorm room and out of the College as she made her way to Buffys house. Her dark blue eyes were sparkling like glitter.

**

Willow looked at herself, She knew she did not look the same. She looked more pale, Not to mention she looked pretty weak. She put her hands to her red hair and twirled strands of hair around her finger as she walked downstiars of Buffys house slowly clinging to the railing as she got to the bottom step, She smiled brightly that ol' Willow smile.

There was a knock at the summers door.

Knock. Knock Knock.

Willow smiled to herself as she knew it was Tara, She made her way to the door and opened it smiling to Tara.

"Hi B- Tara!"Willow said as she grabbed her jacket and put it around her making her way outside.

"R-ready to go get some..c-coffee?" Tara asked.

"Yeah!."

They both walked down to the coffee shop slowly, As Tara kept looking at Willow noticing something was wrong, Way wrong with Willow but she didn't know what. Oh was it real hard for Tara she wanted to pull Willow in her arms and walk with her. Her Dark blue eyes were filled with deep concern for her ex-lover.

Willow smiled a little at Tara as she knew she was stumbling so she leaned against a wall for a moment to take a breather.

"Hold on one moment, Just have to catch my breath." Willow said slowly.

Tara nodded as she looked at Willows pale face, Why hadn't she noticed this earlier? Hm. She must be sick, maybe it wasn't such a good idea to go for Coffee today.

"W-willow y-you should..are you sick? Do you want to go home? I-i mean you could..--"

"No Tara its f-fine..I'll b-be fine."

Willow walked a bit quickly past Tara, not wanting to slow Tara down, THough she knew it would just waste so much energy out of her she had to keep herself happy. She didn't want Tara to worry yet.

Willow made her way to the coffee table as she sat down, Looking at the cup to concentrate hard on how she was going to tell Tara she had leukemia of course she still was not feeling so well.

Tara sat down across from Willow ordering her Coffee.

"So how've you been Willow?"

"Good, And you?"

"same."

It wasn't much talk yet, As Tara looked at her hands a bit as she wanted to say something but she couldn't get it out yet so she played with her hair for a moment taking a sip of her coffee.

"Willow."

"Y-yeah?"

"N-nothing.."

"Oh..okay. "

"Just dont love me..." Willow whispered to herself so Tara could not hear her.

Tara could have said it right then and there as she looked at this heart thing and she smiled to herself on how she was going to tell Willow this, It was going to be quite intresting, She grinned to herself.

"I love you Willow."

Willows face fell when Tara said that, Why was she dissapointed when she said that was something beyond her belifs."

"Don't! you Can't! I told you not to love me!!!!!"Willow said as she broke down in sobs as she stared at Tara for a moment.

Tara looked a bit upset yet confused why Willow had said that to her as her Dark blue eyes filled with concern.

"I-i Have L-leukemia Tara!" Willow said.

Willow made her way quickly past Tara and she hurridlly walked back home, Still crying, Lookin back at the Coffee shop she saw Tara walking out trying to follow her as she stopped.

Tara still couldn't believe this, Of all the thigns in the world, Her Mother died..and now her ex/non-ex lover has leukemia, She slowly curled up outside, Wanting to wake up, She didn't want this to be real, She just kept saying to herself..

"Your going to wake up."
