faith's road to redemption pt 2.
pt 2 for whedonland
I once told you that you didn't have to go out in that darkness. Remember? That it was your choice. Well, you chose.
You thought that you could just touch it. That you'd be okay. 5x5, right, Faith? But it swallowed you whole.
So tell me... how d'you like it?
Help me?
Now what if I can't say it? There's some things you can't just take back,
no matter how sorry you are, right?
God, it hurts! I hate that it hurts like this!
All my life there was only one person who tried to be my friend,
went out of their way when I had no right or reason to expect her to, and... I screwed her.
Not to mention her boyfriend, only him, literally.
No, not you. The new one.
Oh, my god! Angel, I'm so sorry!
No, there. You *can* say it. That's good.
You apologize to me and I will beat you to death.
Go ahead.
Angel said there was no way you were gonna give me a chance.
I gave you every chance! I tried *so* hard to help you, and you spat on me. My life was just something for you to play with.
Angel, Riley, anything that you could take from me, you took.
I've lost battles before... but nobody else has ever made me a victim.
And you can't stand that. You're all about control.
You have no idea what it's like on the other side! When nothing's in control, nothing makes sense!
There's just pain and hate and nothing you do means anything. You can't even...
Just tell me how to make it better.
I hope she's strong enough to make it. Peace is not an easy thing to find.
The road to redemption is a rocky path.
You think we might make it?
