A/N: Well, I'll be honest, I really don't like this ending (mostly because I feel its crap), but I didn't feel it was fair to just leave it at a cliffhanger. I've actually had this written for months now and since people have been baggin' me about my lack of updateyness I'm mostly putting this here to shut them up...

�You
just don�t get it, do you? I can�t trust
you,� I bring her to a standing position, �I love you Faith, but I can�t be
with you.� I lean forward slowly to
brush my lips against hers, letting a single tear slide down my cheek, and then
I abruptly turn on my heels to leave.

�Please
B, we belong together,� she begs desolately, but I keep my back to her.

�No
Faith, I can�t do this anymore,� I keep my voice cold and distant, in order to
suppress a sob.

�Buffy,
please�� she croaks tiredly, �please don�t� don�t let it end like this.�

But
I ignore her and don�t turn around. I
know that if I turn around now, I�ll never be able to leave. I just keep walking. Once I�m safely inside the elevator, I stop
struggling to contain the tears that have been threatening to burst from me for
what feels like forever. Resting my
forehead against the cool elevator wall, I close my eyes and let the hot tears
stream down my face. Then the damn
elevator music comes through the speakers and it only makes my blubbering
worse.

[All
the magic's gone

There's
just a shadow of a memory

Something
just went wrong

We
can't go on make-believing]

Hitting
the button for the lobby repeatedly apparently doesn�t make the lift go any
faster. Goddamn it.

[I
don't wanna cry

Don't
wanna cry

Nothing
in the world

Could
take us back

To
where we used to be

Though
I've given you my heart and soul

I
must find a way of letting go

'Cause
baby, I don't wanna cry]

Sniffling,
I attempt to make myself as presentable as possible before stepping out of the
elevator. Stepping from the elevator, I
freeze as soon as my eyes come to rest on a certain brunette standing in my
way. She takes a step towards me and I
notice for the first time how drained she looks.

�I�m
not going to let you go like this B.�

�Fuck
off Faith,� I let my anger flare this time, why can�t she just leave me
alone? Can�t she take a damn hint? She grabs my arm, stopping me.

�No,
B, not like this, you have to know the truth.�

�I
don�t want to hear any version of your �truth� Faithy,
so you can just take your truth and shove it,� I shake my arm free and storm
past her. But of course she just can�t
take the hint and follows after me anyway.
I stomp through the lobby doors and spot the driver parked across the
street. Faith once again grabs me, this
time stopping me on the sidewalk.

�Buffy,�
she pleads jadedly. Alright, now I�m
just pissed off.

�Leave
me alone Faith, I don�t want to deal with you anymore, I�m tired and I just
want to go home.�

�Then
come home,� she takes my hand and holds it to her chest. I use the offending hand to push her away
from me.

�This
isn�t my home anymore, I gave you your chance and you blew it. Now deal.�
I turn away from her and start across the street towards the car.

�But
you don�t understand Buffy.�

�I
understand this Faith,� I stop to turn and face her, �I understand that in the
last three years that we�ve been together, you�ve been nothing, but a selfish,
conceited ass.� My voice seems to raise
an octave every other word and people have begun to stare at us, but I don�t
care anymore. �I�ve done nothing but
give and give, but when was the last time you did something selfless for me? When was the last time��

My
tirade is interrupted by Faith tackling me.
During my little outburst I failed to notice the oncoming taxi, but
luckily for me Faith didn�t.
Unfortunately for Faith, the taxi couldn�t stop in time.

I
can only sit on the ground in shock as I stare at her seemingly lifeless body
lying in the street. She turns her head
to cough and I�m finally snapped from my stupor. Running to her side, I take her hand and
begin apologizing frantically, but I�m weeping so hysterically that all you can
really make out are a few frenzied whimpers.

�B��
she says softly, her voice frail and rasping.

�Faith,
I�m so sorry.�

�I
should�ve just told you,� she chuckles weakly.

�I
love you Faith.�

�I
know, maybe now you�ll believe me,� she coughs and a little blood comes up,
which makes me weep even more; reaching up with her other hand she wipes a tear
away from my cheek, �I�ll always love you.�
She then reaches into her jacket and pulls out a small velvet box. �I want you to have this.�

Inside
the small box is a magnificent engagement style diamond ring, a beautiful Elara-cut diamond that has to be at least ten carats, set
in a beautiful platinum band. My breath
is completely taken away, but not because of the ring, because of the lettering
on the inside lid of the box: �Cellini.� That must�ve been� oh my God, I�m the idiot.

�Oh
Faith, I�m so sorry,� I manage between sobs.
�I didn�t� this is all my fault��

�Ssshh� it�s not your fault B�� Faith whispers as she slips
into unconsciousness.

Yeah, I know it sucks, but this is the only resolution you'll ever get to this fic no matter how crappy it is. Sorry, but after my relationship ended with the chick I wrote this for I really wasn't motivated to write anymore in this story. But this is better than no resolution at all... I think.
