A cry needed. From thepowerplayers
Her comment hit me hard. I knew that Angel’s son wasn’t with Melissa, but it just brought back that Angel and Faith had decided to become a couple.
Her second comment hit me even harder. I thought that it was weird that she was here. She and Chola were supposed to be in Hong Kong, and then I find out that she’s here because Chola had been killed and now there were only four slayers left, when at the start of yesterday, there had been thirty-two.
The vampires trying to attack the teenagers on the Santa Monica pier were dead and I suddenly longed for more vampires to hit and almost welcomed the sight of Connor turning red because Melissa had called him her man. I almost welcomed the way that Melissa was joking around, because thinking about anything else was brutal.
Willow was dead. Twenty-eight slayers were dead. Most of them were dead because Giles had overreacted and I was irritated at him on an epic scale. Angel was sleeping with Faith, and since he had once told me that she wasn’t his type…what was he doing? Was he trying to add something to the list because my shoulders were broad enough to handle anything? Was Faith, who came this way with me, talking about how Spike and I were finally going to see each other again, was she…had she been doing that because she had plans for herself and Angel? Then there was Spike, looking out for me, following me out after I found out about Angel and Faith…all he had been doing was telling me that Dawn was at the hotel and that I shouldn’t be leaving her there and what do I do? I hit him, twice and he hits me back, which I totally deserved. So yeah, nice reunion with Spike, there. Carrie White was about to come out of me, only I just didn’t know where. Maybe at the hotel? Maybe not Carrie White…possibly Linda Blair? It was destined to be one or the other, because my rope was breaking.
And staring at me as I pretty much publicly go through a break down, were Connor and Melissa.
Tears started flowing down my cheeks and once they started, getting them to stop was an exercise in futility. I needed to let this out, but didn’t want to appear weak in front of these two, but it had to come out and come out it did.
I tried to get control of it and I found that Connor was giving me a hug, such a sweet kid…too bad his father had stabbed me in the heart with a wooden implement and I felt like I was turning to dust and that was another thing. I didn’t exactly want to explain to them why I was crying. They both knew about the slayers and Melissa knew about Willow and Connor probably did and those were blows that would be hard to recover from, but it was so far beyond that and those things, I didn’t want to discuss.
After Connor gave me a hug, Melissa gave me a hug and suddenly, I felt like a big baby and not the lead slayer, out…out of the four of us, as it now was.
“Did somebody mention finding more demons to kill and getting a cappuccino? Because, yes please, to both options.”
I managed to sniffle out those words and clear my face as Melissa looked at me concerned and Connor did the same.
