Everyone seems to be regaining a sense of normalcy, it is comforting to know that there is no more stress on the girls now that Julie is free and happy, something she hasn't been in a long time...if ever. Now I just have to tend to the troubles of Buffy and Dawn, the two girls who have been like daughters to me for a good long while

I sat there figeting with my hands watching Giles. I just knew what was going to come and I really didn't want to hear it. Sure he had every right to be concerned. Buffy was off doing her own thing, running off.

What was new, she always did that when there was trouble, why face reality and be there for anyone when they needed it? No it was easier to run and claim you needed to get your head right.

Then I just snapped, I just sat there arms folded tightly, "I'm here.....for now."

[frisky_watcher]

I was awaiting Buffy's arrival so I sat next to Dawn.

"Dawn, why is it you are angry at me?"

[xxdawnsummersxx]

Of course Giles would think he knew it all. Yeah me mad AT him. It was Buffy I was all pissed off at, but he would try and fix us all up.

"It is basically an all around annoyance. Ya know not really directed at just anyone in particualr right now."

[frisky_watcher]

"Would you like to tell me what is bothering you?"

I asked, I could tell that she wasn't going to be kind with her anger, I just hoped she felt better when she was done.

"You know if you want my opinion, I am not thrilled with Buffy right now either, but I am more concerned than Angry."

[xxdawnsummersxx]

Perhaps this wasn't going to be as painful as I had thought, I carefully watched Giles. Was he an ally?

"She... she... "I made a circular gesture with my arm, "all over again, with her ... running off into the night to fend off evil or whatever."

I really was not doing well forming coherent words, but I think he was getting the gist of it.

[frisky_watcher]

"What do you mean dear"

I said as I looked at her

"Please just tell me what you mean without hand signals."

[xxdawnsummersxx]

Looking down I bit my lip thoughts in my head, coming to the front, "She is doing it again. The whole running off...leaving me behind."

There I said. It was out there in the open.

[frisky_watcher]

I reached up and placed my hand on her cheek feeling her pain, no need for special abilities to feel that.

"She didn't take to Julie's trial well, well no one did, but she has a way of dealing with matters in a not so healthy way. I believe both of us should talk to her."

I just hoped that it would help.

[xxdawnsummersxx]

A part of me wanted to believe that talking to her would help, but there was a part of me that was sure if I could find it in me to do this.

"Giles, I... I know we, you know, the whole talking thing," I could feel the tears wanting to come out but I wasn't going to let them come, I held on tight, "Please I just want Buffy back"

[she_was_bad]

I overheard them talking. I didn't know whether to jump in angry, or just sit back and keep listening. I didn't like the idea of my sister being hurt, but at the same time, it pissed me off to hear them talk this way.

"I see some things never change. You two talking about me this way."

[frisky_watcher]

I sighed

"Buffy, we are simply concerned."

I said softly as I stood up.

"We are concerned that you are pushing us away...and the reasons why you would be doing such a thing."

[she_was_bad]

"Is it just you two?? I mean, after all, this is my life you're talking about here and I do have a right to know who feels this way."

I walked towards the wall and stopped short.

"You guys could have come to me, you know. Instead of all this talking behind my back. I'm not that hard a person to talk to."

[frisky_watcher]

"In point of fact Buffy, lately you are in fact that hard to talk to. You disassociate yourself from everyone who loves you, you push us to the wayside and yet we still care."

I said firmly

"And I do believe I left you a message to meet me here, for the record."

[she_was_bad]

Buffy just rolled her eyes.

"You may have left the message, but last time I checked, I was Buffy. You have something to say, here I am."

I was so angry with them. Was I not allowed to have time to myself. I needed to just go with the motions.

[frisky_watcher]

I sighed

"Buffy, you have to actually show up for someone to talk to you."

I said softly as I looked at her worry pouring over me.

"You haven't been the same since Julie's trial, what is it that you are so frightened of?"

[xxdawnsummersxx]

I was growing more and more annoyed at Buffy as she whined about us "sneaking off", "I don't know all about this being frieghtened of, but... " I just stopped I could tell I was being bratty, but a part of me just did not really care, "like what HE was saying."

I crossed my arms frowning staring down.
