what to do?
[reviews]
I don't know what to do. As much as I want to take Willow in my arms and make all her pain go away, she doesn't feel the same way about me. Tara suggested that since we had a four day weekend that I should take Willow home to get away from school. I agreed, and I ended up guilting Tara into coming with us knowing that she was going to be by herself all weekend.
I called Faith up to see if she could take care of the slaying duties, and after explaining the situation, she agreed to do it, and I know that Mom and Dawn will be glad to see her again. We're on better terms now that we aren't living in the same town getting on each others nerves. Even though we broke up, Mom still considers Faith one of her adopted children. I have a feeling the family will grow by one more once Mom meets Tara.
Tara is meeting us in our room since Mom is picking us up after grabbing Dawn. I just hope once we get away from school Willow starts to feel better. I don't know whether it is from Oz leaving or if she is getting sick, but I have noticed that she has been throwing up.
Dawn came barreling into the room while we were discussing classes, and she went right over to Willow and gave her a hug. Mom came in yelling at Dawn for not knocking before she came in. I introduced them to Tara before we left, and without missing a beat, Dawn asked Tara if she was my girlfriend. After telling them no, Tara made everyone laugh by telling them that I was too much work.
Once we got home, I had Dawn show Willow and Tara where they were staying for the weekend since I wanted to give Mom a heads up about Willow. Mom and I walked to the kitchen as I told her that she might not want to make anything too heavy since Willow hasn't been feeling well. She gave me a hug and kiss before shooing me out to entertain my guests while she decides what to do for dinner.
I ended up finding Dawn giving Tara a tour of her room. When Tara saw me, she explained that Willow was tired and was taking a nap. I left them and went to look in on Willow. I opened my door and saw her curled up in a ball. I went over and took her shoes off before covering her up. Before I left, I put Mr. Gordo in her arms so she wouldn't wake up alone.
I quietly closed the door before heading downstairs and out the front door. I sat down on the front steps and put my face in my hands starting to cry. I don't know how to help her. I mean I can kill the forces of evil five ways to Sunday, but there isn't a damn thing I can do to take away my best friend's pain.
I don't know how long I was out there when I felt someone wrap their arms around me. I turned my head around not realizing what my face probably looks like and saw that it was Tara. She just kissed the side of my head whispering that we would help Willow through this. Even though I haven't known Tara all that long, I have come to see her as my big sister.
Tara helped me up as we headed back inside. She told me that she would run interference while I went upstairs and cleaned up. After fixing my makeup, I went to check on Willow. I opened the door slowly just to sneak a peek just in case she was still sleeping. Instead, I found her holding her knees to her chest crying. When she looked over to me, it broke my heart.
"Willow, is there anything I can do?" I asked sitting beside her on the bed.
"Buffy, what you're doing means everything to me, but there is something else that I am trying to work through," she said looking away.
"Will, whatever it is. You can tell me, and we'll do it together," I said cupping her cheek with my hand.
"I'm pregnant,"
