A knock on the hospital door startled Tara until Buffy and the others entered.
"How is she?" Buffy asked quietly, giving Tara a small hug, shuffling to the other side of the hospital bed to let the others do the same.
"Really tired. They got her leg fixed up and tended to the burns and scratches, then put her on fluids and some antibiotics." Buffy nodded, grabbing Willows other hand gently.
"I.. I'm really glad shes okay." Tara frowned sympathetically,
"Buffy you dont have to explain yourself.." Buffy pulled a chair over on the other side, not letting go of her friends hand.
"I.. I really didnt.. Didnt want.."
"Buffy.."
"You know.. In a way… it was harder than with Angel." Tara decided to let her talk, nodding to the rest of the gang to leave. They did so quietly, not even Xander made any remarks about Angel. "Because.." Buffys voice cracked, "Because.. She was.. She was always there. No matter what.. She was always.. And then suddenly.. I had to fight her to protect this gang of nerds who had gone with the guy who killed you.." The slayer blinked a couple times and rolled her eyes, "..Because suddenly she was the bad guy. And I didn't have the person who had always stood by my side. I've always.. Since that.. Felt like I somehow.. Let her down." Tara grabbed Willows other hand, stroking it gently as she listened. "And then it happened again. I couldn't stop her from killing Kennedy.. Or from doing that dumb spell that sent her to a demons hell.. And thinking that it was happening yet again.. That she was killing innocent people.." Tara reached across the bed to place her free hand on Buffys,
"But she wasn't." Buffy nodded, sighing,
"She wasn't.. But we thought she was."
"Its understandable because of the past.. I thought it could be her too." Buffy gulped, shaking her head a bit,
"I know.. But when I decided that i had to.. Had to kill her.. To kill my best friend.." Buffy took a shaky breath, not looking away from Willows sleeping face, "It wasn't about the destiny.. It wasn't about saving people.. It wasn't even about me.. It was for her. You didn't see the way she was after she killed Warren. She was so guilty.. And so scared she would hurt someone again. Then she killed Kennedy.. And that wasn't as.. Because she was in that demon dimension after, we couldn't see any guilt or such.. But.. If it had been her.. If she /had/ been the one killing these girls.. If she were to be brought back by it.. She would have already destroyed herself. As horrible as it sounds.. I wanted to give her some sort of.. Peace." Tara was teary eyed when Buffy finally finished, but she wasn't able to say anything.
"..thank you.." Startled, Buffy yanked her hand away from Willows. Willow was looking at her best friend with a small smile, her eyes sleepy but open.
"Will.. I.."
"Its okay.. Thank you."
"For wha-" Willows smile grew a little,
"For thinking of how I would feel.. Even when you thought I was killing people. For.. For planning to kill me." Willow chuckled at that, then quickly stopped with a wince, "That sounds weird, but really.. Thank you." Tara watched this exchange with a small smile, giving Willows hand an approving squeeze. Willow turned her head to her, smiling weakly. “Morning..” Tara gave her hand another gentle squeeze.
“More like goodnight.. You’ve been out for a while.” Willow frowned,
“All day..?” Her question ended in a yawn, “And i still feel like I could go room with a bear this winter..” Tara stroked her hair gently,
“I think sleeping in here would be safer. And warmer.” Willow yawned again,
“But.. dont I need to help with the new big bad…? Those girls..” Tara tilted her head with a small frown, still petting Willows hair.
“I think we’ve got it sweetie..” She looked up at Buffy for confirmation, slightly shocked when she hesitated. Then the slayer forced a smile to her face,
“Of course we do Willow. As much as we would love your help, you need to rest up. We’ll redirect Xander from the donuts to the books.” Willow still seemed skeptical, but Taras gentle touch mixed with physical and mental exhaustion weighed down her eyelids.
“Just.. wake me up if you.. Need me..” Tara softly smiled as Willow drifted asleep, turning her gaze back up to Buffy. With some hesitation, Tara slipped her hand from Willows hand and from her hair, getting up from the chair, waving towards the door to the room. Buffy followed her out, shifting when she turned to face her.
“What is it?” Buffy winced slightly at her tone,
“When I had to fight Will.. when she was dark.. She almost beat me. Had Giles not been there to help… Tara.. If this guy can beat her.. How.. how am I going to, without her help?” Tara pursed her lips,
“Shes badly hurt, Buffy. She cant be out there fighting this guy again!” Buffy bit her lip,
“Not right away..”
“Not EVER! We almost lost her as it is - /I/ almost lost her! Because of some theory that you guys put in my mind! I didn’t.. I didn’t believe it could have been her killing those women until YOU GUYS said it! Even if I /had/, I wouldn’t have scared her off like that! Could you guys have been any louder?!” Tara didn’t notice the rest of the gang hanging off to the side, watching with silent shock. Still, her voice faltered as her legs shook weakly, “I.. I just don’t want to lose her Buffy.. Not again.. Not for good..” Buffys shock and hurt at the outburst faded, and she stepped forward, embracing Tara in a hug. Tara sniffled, feeling the others join the hug.

((For some reason with all my stories i like to emphasize how close of friends Willow and Buffy are.))
