Falling For You
[reviews]
Willow's eyes fluttered open, and she rubbed the sleep out of them. She glanced at the clock, reading the red flashing 2 a.m. The lights were still on, and she looked around the room, before she remembered what had happened. She started crying, and then suddenly stopped when she heard the door open.
Turning she saw Xander standing in the doorway. "Hey Wills, what's goin on?" He asked as he shut the door, and stepped into the room. He sat down on the bed, and looked at his best friend since kindergarden.
"I told her." Willow said with a sigh.
"You what?"
Outside:
Buffy had planned on going back to the dorm room, to talk to Willow. But she didnt make it very far before her thoughts overtook her again.
"Said there'd be no going back
Promised myself I'd never be that sad
Maybe that's why you've come along
To show me, it's not always bad
Coz I can feel it, baby
I feel like I'm falling for you
But I'm scared to, let go
I'm scared coz my heart has been hurt so"
She sighed as she walked through a cemetary, and was about to attack a rising vampire when Riley showed up. "Hey Buffy." He said as he leaned in to kiss her. She leaned back, avoiding his kiss by giving him the cheek.
"Listen Riley...I uhm- I don't think that we should see eachother any more." Buffy said, looking Riley in the eye.
"What?"
"It's just, I have some stuff I have to work out, and it'd be better not to drag you through it too." Buffy said.
"There's someone else isn't there?" He asked, the jealousy seeping through his voice.
"No, it's not like that. It's just, I need to think." She said. She stood on her tiptoes and gave him a kiss on the cheek. "Goodbye." She said, and leaving the cemetary started towards the dorms.
"It's true I've become a skeptic
How many couples really love
Just wish I had a crystal ball
To show me, if it's worth it all
Coz I can feel it, baby
I feel like I'm falling for you
But I'm scared to, let go
I'm scared coz my heart has been hurt so
Yeah I can feel it, baby
I feel like I'm falling for you
But I'm scared to, let go
I'm scared coz my heart has been hurt so"
She reached the dorm, and stood there in the lobby for a second before she sat down on the steps, and rested her head in her cupped hands.
'You're doing the right thing.' Her heart told her.
'No, you're not! She's going to get hurt.' Her logic argued.
'But this way, you're both hurt, go to her... she needs you, and you need her.'
Standing, she started up the stairs.
"And I've got to be sure
Coz it's been so long
And I cannot take the pain again
If it all goes wrong
Coz I can feel it, baby
I feel like I'm falling for you
But I'm scared to, let go
I'm scared coz my heart has been hurt so
Yeah I can feel it, baby
I feel like I'm falling for you
But I'm scared to, let go
I'm scared coz my heart has been hurt so"
She stopped again only once, right outside their door, and stood there, with her hand on the handle, getting up the nerve to turn it and go in to tell the woman that she loved she was wrong. She started turning, when she heard sobs from inside.
"She probably hates me!" Willow sobbed, and then Xander replied.
"She could never hate you, not even if she wanted to. Besides which, knowing Buffy she'll be back in the morning, and all will be forgiven."
"I just wanted her to love me the way I love her." Willow said, nearly breaking Buffy's heart as she heard the girl start crying again.
"I want you so much
I need you so much
I want you so much
I need you so much
[believe me my love
believe me my love] "
Buffy turned the door handle, and walked in.
A/N: What do you think? I know how I want the story to go, it's just hard to find the right songs. By the way, this one is "Falling For You" by Jem. - L.
