Disclaimer: I own nothing. Believe me I have three boys, I own 
nothing.
Spoilers: This set in season two so anything before that and I change 
it if anything comes up.
Rating: Umm not sure this part is G but I will change it if it 
changes.
Pairing: Buffy/Willow
Notes: I have another part to coming home already done but this one 
kind of slipped into my brain. I don't think this one will be very 
long. Also Buffy's will know she is a slayer. Tell me if I'm wasting 
my time on this one. 

Buffy walked into the library and saw her best friend sitting at 
a table.
"Good morning Will, missed you this weekend. I tried to call but no 
one was home."
"Yeah sorry about that, I had so much homework to do that I kinda 
just turned off everything. Did I miss anything", I asked worriedly?
"Nah, just the normal hellmouth things but you did miss out on a fun 
night at the Bronze. How about we make up for it tonight?"
"I wish that I could but I really have something I need to do. Maybe 
tomorrow", I said. Buffy looked at her best friend and saw how tired 
she looked, and that she almost looked green, " You feeling ok, Hon. 
You look a little green around the gills." Buffy watched as she 
packed up her books.
"I got to go", I said and ran from the room. Xander came in just as 
she was running from the room.
"Hey Willow, were you..", he started but she was out of the room 
before he could finish, "headed". Buffy and Xander stared at the 
swinging door and then to each other.
"Have you noticed how quiet she has been lately", Xander asked Buffy.
"Yeah and pale and sick looking", Buffy said.
"Yeah she ran out of class the other day and when she came back in 
she looked so tiny and flushed."
"Has she said anything to you about it", Buffy asked.
"No but then again I haven't spent more then hour with her since I 
got back form vacation."
"Me either, was she okay before you left", Buffy asked him?
"Yeah I mean she was sad that you were at your Dad's but she was ok. 
We spent a lot of time together."
"Maybe she is still upset about how I was when I came back. I mean I 
was a real bitch to everyone and even got her kidnapped."
"But that doesn't explain why she is being so distant to me", Xander 
said and looked at the door that Willow had just flown out of.
"I don't know but she said that she would go out tomorrow maybe we 
can get her to talk to us then", Buffy said and joined her friend in 
staring at the door.



I flew into the closest bathroom and lost my breakfast in the 
nearest toilet. I stood at the sink and splashed some cold water on 
my face. I looked in the mirror and sighed at the reflection. I could 
see the black circle under my eyes. `Buffy's right I do look a little 
green', I thought. I sighed once more. I can do this. I got myself 
into this I have to be the one to deal with it. I grabbed my bag and 
headed out the door. I walked down the hallway lost in my own world. 
I thought back and wondered were things had spun so out of control. I 
made my way into my computer class and sat down. I switched it on and 
waited for it to open. All I wanted to do was find somewhere to curl 
up and sleep for days. I hated what my body was doing to me. I hated 
being tired all the time and lord knows having to spend more time in 
the bathroom them out of it in the morning. I hated not being able to 
tell my friends way I was never home or at least the home they 
thought I was supposed to be at. I was so afraid of telling them. I 
hated being afraid. I wiped the tears that had appeared out of my 
eyes before anyone had a reason to ask about them. Yeah all I wanted 
was to go back and be the same Willow that I had been two months ago 
before Xander had left to spend a week with his uncle. I knew that I 
would never be able to go back to that place, that Willow disappeared 
the minute I got bored, went to the Bronze, and got drunk. I can't 
even blame it on anything other then my own stupidity. I was lonely, 
he was there and here I am. 





I saw Buffy sitting at a table in the lunchroom and waved me 
over, "Hey Will, joining me today?"
"No I have to go meet Jenny in the computer lab, she says she needs 
to talk to me for a minute."
"Anything I ought to know about", Buffy asked me.
"I don't know really she didn't say a whole lot about it. I'll call 
you tonight if it's anything you need to know."
"Cool, well I guess I'll see you in class later then."
"Actually I'm leaving after lunch, can you copy down the assignment 
for me", I asked her knowing that I was going to skip out. 
"Is everything ok, Willow"
"Yeah I just wanted to grab a nap before I had to go to?", I said and 
caught myself before I told her where I had to be tonight, "We still 
on for tomorrow night right?"
"Yup, wouldn't want to be anywhere else. Are you ok", she asked me 
with such a look of concern I wanted to just crawl up in her arms and 
let her make it all better but she couldn't.
"Yeah, I better go. Thanks Buff. I love you."
"I love you too, Will" I left her sitting there with a confused look 
on her face and headed for the computer room.


"Willow thanks for coming", Jenny told me and waved me into a 
seat.
"No problem what's up"?
"I'm worried about you. I have spoken to most of your teachers and 
have heard the same things. Missed classes, work not turned in, 
running out in the middle of classes, what's going on, Willow? You're 
failing history and with all of the missed classes you are very close 
to failing math. This is not like you."
"Jenny, thank you for your concern. I will try to bring everything up 
but I have some stuff going on right now."
"You know that you can talk to me about anything if you need a 
friend."
"Yeah thanks, I'll remember that. I have to go. Thanks again, Jenny", 
I told her and left the room.



The gang was sitting around the table after school when Jenny 
stormed into the room.
"Rupert, I understand that the world sometimes depends on the things 
that these kids do on a daily basis but when one of the best students 
in this school is on the brink of failing most of her classes, less 
then a month into school, I have to put a stop to it", she told the 
older man.
"Um, excuse me", Giles asked.
"I know that I haven't been applying myself in your class but the 
best", Xander teased.
"Not you. Willow."
"Will failing", Buffy asked her.
"Yes, I had a meeting this morning with most of her teachers and it 
seems the only classes she is going to on a regular basis is the ones 
that she shares with the two of you. She misses her first two classes 
almost daily."
"Jenny I assure you that I would never come between her and her 
studies. Buffy maybe you shouldn't let her patrol with you for a 
while", Giles told them.
"Um Giles, she hasn't been on patrol since I got back from my dads", 
Buffy said.
"She hasn't", Jenny asked.
"No as a matter of fact she hasn't been around much at all. I tried 
to call her this weekend and she said that she had been studying all 
weekend."
"Not with the grades that I've seen."
"She lied to me. Xander Will lied to me", Buffy said in 
disbelief, "She has never lied to me."
"Giles what do we do", Xander asked him.
"Talk to her, maybe she will open up. If she doesn't then you wait 
and hopefully she will come to you when she is ready."


I walked into my new place and looked around. It was small but I 
guess it could be worse. I flopped down on the couch and opened the 
letter even though I knew what was in it. If I lived to be a hundred 
years old I don't think I would ever understand my parents reaction 
to all of it. I closed my eyes and thought back to the night that I 
had had to tell them. I guess my sub conscience was hoping that they 
would find it and that for once in theirs lives they would be there 
for me. Boy was I wrong and now here I sit the papers declaring me an 
adult in my hands, sitting on the couch of my tiny little apartment, 
alone.
