A/N: Goddamn it lols… I wanted to finish all my other W.I.P’s before I started anything else. Then… hello Nelly! 5 mins of listening to this and I had a WHOLE goddamn fic that’s demanded to be written. One part… that’s it. I have enough unfinished projects lols.

"Over And Over"
(feat.
Tim McGraw)

Cause its all in my head
I think about it over and over again
And I can’t keep picturing you with him
And it hurts so bad, yeah
Cause it’s all in my head
I think about it over and over again
I replay it over and over again
And I can’t take it yeah I can’t shake it
Nooo

I can’t wait to see you
Want to see if you still got that look in your eyes
That one you had for me before we said our goodbyes
And it’s a shame that we got to spend our time
Being mad about the same things
Over and over again
About the same things
Over and over again
Ohh
But I think she’s leaving
Ooh man she’s leaving
I don’t know what else to do
(I Can’t go on not loving you)

Cause its all in my head
I think about it over and over again
And I can’t keep picturing you with him
And it hurts so bad, yeah
Cause its all in my head
I think about it over and over again
I replay it over and over again yeah
And I can’t take it yeah I can’t shake it
Nooo

I remember the day you left
I remember the last breath you took right in front of me
When you said that u would leave
I was too damn stubborn to try to stop you or say anything
But I see clearly now
And this choice I made keeps playing in my head
Over and over again
Playing my head
Over and over again
Ohh
I think she’s leaving
Ooh man she’s leaving
I don’t know what else to do
(I Can’t go on not loving you)

Cause its all in my head
I think about it over and over again
And I can’t keep picturing you with him
And it hurts so bad, yeah
Cause its all in my head
I think about it over and over again
I replay it over and over again
And I can’t take it I can’t shake it
Nooo

(Now that I’ve realized that I’m going down
From all this pain you’ve put me through
Every time I close my eyes I lock it down oh
I can’t go on not loving you)

Cause its all in my head
I think about it over and over again
And I can’t keep picturing you with him
And it hurts so bad, yeah
Cause its all in my head
I think about it over and over again
I replay it over and over again
And I can’t take it I can’t shake it
Nooo

Cause its all in my head
I think about it over and over again
And I can’t keep picturing you with him
And it hurts so bad, yeah
Cause its all in my head
I think about it over and over again
I replay it over and over again
And I can’t take it I can’t shake it
Nooo

Over and Over again
Over and Over again
Cause it’s all in my head

 

 

 

 

 

‘What have I done?’

 

Faith was perched on the roof, her muscles tensed to take flight if need be. Her eyes fastened on the sleeping body on the other side of the window. She sighed as she pressed her hand against the glass, careful not to make any noise. She was aware of EXACTLY how good slayer hearing was.

 

As she watched her angel sleep she sighed softly. As always, she’d managed to fuck things up. She’d betrayed the one person who’d ever meant anything to her. And now it was literally killing her from the inside. Her choices were tearing at her. But she still thought she had no choice. She was a killer. What else was there but for her to be evil? And fight the one thing that terrified her.

 

Her feelings. Fighting against the blonde it made it easier to fight the feelings. Jam them down where they belonged. She had no right to feel this way. Except for these moments not long before dawn.

 

The moments she allowed herself to dream. And regret. And hate herself more. These moments before dawn. After Angel had given up his vigil to retreat from the approaching day. The moment before the world begins to wake and reality kicks in again.

 

She’d try to forget the lingering smell of death that clung to this spot from the many times he’d done this very same thing. Push it away.

 

And I can’t keep picturing you with him
And it hurts so bad, yeah
Cause its all in my head
I think about it over and over again
I replay it over and over again


Pretend for the few moments that all was okay and she could still reach out and touch the beauty before her eyes. Pretend that there would be no backlash if she even attempted.

 

Flashbacks ran before her eyes as she watched the soft breathing with the rise and fall of the blonde’s chest she let her eyes wander over the prone form. Luxuriating in it.

 

She saw herself and Buffy. Face to face. Neither daring to move. She could feel the soft press of metal against her throat. She couldn’t do it! She was ordered to eliminate the threat. Or at least turn it’s head and distract. The moment here and she couldn’t do it. In the moments following Faith noted everything. Though only a few moments they seemed to go on forever.

 

Buffy’s chest rising and falling from the exertion. Her breaths coming in soft pants almost in sync with Faith’s own breath. Even fighting against each other they were in tune. A perfect match against the other. It was a battle neither of them would fully win.

 

Faith’s eyes raising. Following the soft lines of the throat. Blocking from her mind’s eyes the sight of the metal she was all too aware of holding there. She saw Buffy swallow. Her eyes raised further over the blonde’s chin to the mouth that was so cute when it  pouted. Further up… to her eye’s.

 

And she almost gasped at the pain ripping through those emerald eyes. The hurt, the betrayal. And it all came flooding down their slayer connection. For the first time Faith could feel clearly each and every emotion Buffy was feeling. Could feel the blonde’s battle between wanting to helpand caring for Faith,  and wanting to ‘take down the bad guy’. And she couldn’t breathe. Couldn’t think. So she reacted. Faith dropped the knife long enough to wrap her hand around the back of B’s neck and pulled her forward. The brunette squeezed her eye’s shut as she kissed Buffy’s forehead. Two seconds. Skin against skin. And then she ran.

 

But I see clearly now
And this choice I made keeps playing in my head
Over and over again

 

Faith saw the last of this play through her head and sighed again. She’d fucked up, royally. She’d ran from everything. The Scoobies, Angel, Giles… and Buffy. Most of all her. The blonde took away Faith’s ability to think clearly. Made her feel things she couldn’t handle.

 

Yet, even with the running she came here every morning. Her few moments of time to make-believe.

 

I don’t know what else to do
(I Can’t go on not loving you)

 

As she felt the rising sun warming her back a sadness washed through her and she knew it was time to go. Again.

 

Time to go back to the real world. Where she was evil. And where she was never gonna get the woman she wanted.

 

 

 

She pressed her nose and her hands to the window once more almost as if she was trying to get as close as possible to the blonde within. Her emotions bubbled up momentarily and she fought back a sob as the pain ripped through her as she fought to push them down again.

 

She turned away, climbing down the tree and disappearing into the quickly fading darkness. Much like the creatures of the night she hunted. Only to return again the following morning and put herself through this sweet torture once more.

 

 

*****

 

 

Inside the room Buffy stirred in her sleep a softly moaned “Faith.” escaping her lips as she felt, deep within her slumber, the brunette leaving… again. And she began crying softly in her sleep.

 

 

(I Can’t go on not loving you)
