Title - The Letter.
Rating - PG
Summery - Buffy's letter to Willow. Set while Willow is in England.
A/N - Someone 'sigh' wanted more after Hurt. So I figured I would write more, but I don't know how many, so each one is going to be
the end, if that makes sense.

Buffy stared at the piece of paper before her, knowing what she wanted to say, but not knowing how.

Closing her eyes, she took a deep breath and started writing.

Hey Wills,

I wanted to call you, but Giles insisted that we weren't allowed to talk to you just yet. When I threatened to go to England, he let me write you this letter.

There is so much I want to tell you, so much I need to tell you, and I promise, that as soon as yet get home, I will. I've waited long enough, I suppose I can wait a few months. You know me, I've never really been an 'express yourself emotionally' kind of person.

I know that right now you are hurting I know how it feels to have someone you love taken away from you, and I'm not talking about my misspent youth here.

Giles told us that we shouldn't mention the whole killing Warren thing, but I figure since he isn't going to be reading this, I can slip one thing in.

I want you to know, that if I had been in you're shoes, I would have done exactly the same thing, only without the magic, 'cause hey, Slayer here.

Being the Slayer doesn't make me Judge, Jury and Executioner, but I would have made the exception.

I just didn't want to lose you Will, and you have no idea right now how scared I am that I will.

Everyone misses you, even Anya. Giles thinks that you should be back in three months tops, and if you aren't I'm going to be wondering why, and maybe hopping a plane back to the mother country to drag your ass home.

I'm looking after her grave for you, making sure no nasties mess with it, I figured it was the least I could do.

I'm sorry Willow, you have no idea how much. I know how much you loved Tara.

I don't think I got the chance to thank you for saving me did I? I am you know, grateful that is, and I know Dawn is waiting to give you a big hug for it.

I miss you Will, come soon.

All my love,
Buffy

Buffy set down her pen, and sighed re-reading what she had wrote. Wiping a tear away, she grabbed an envelope and sealed the letter shut, writing Willow's name on the back of it.

Standing, she made her way into the kitchen, where Giles was having a last minute cup of tea before he had to teleport back to England.

Anya had popped over to see him and insisted he come back to see how the new Magic Box looked.

Thank god for Anya being a demon again, which is not something Buffy ever thought she would think.

"Here Giles."

Giles took the letter and put it into his pocket.

"Tell her I miss her too Giles." Dawn spoke up before going back to her cereal.

He smiled, and jumped when Anya appeared beside him.

"Ready? Good," She didn't give him a chance to say anything and off they were, Buffy's tea cup still in Giles hand.

Buffy smiled and sat down to eat her own breakfast, happy that Giles would give Willow her letter.
