Faith
Faith sat up as she heard a knock on her door. She grabbed her knife but then realised that if someone wanted to kill her, they most likely wouldn't knock. Thanks for the tip, Mrs Post.
"Yo?"
"Faith? Me."
"Come in."
Faith dropped her weapon just as Angel walked in and closed the door behind him. He moved to her couch and sat down.
"Please, sit down." Faith rolled her eyes.
"Thanks." Angel turned to face her and looked into her eyes, matching her stare with one of his own. "Do you wanna talk about it?"
"Not really... but you're gonna make me, aren't you?"
"I can't make you do anything..."
Faith told him everything that happened with Kenny and Angel sat in silence for a few seconds.
"So is this why you're not back in Tulsa now?"
"I guess. I know Zac didn't do that to me, it's just... I don't know. I love him, I really do."
Angel stared at her for a minute. "Did our Faith just say love?"
"I guess... shut up, yeah I did." Faith blushed and looked away while Angel's face broke into a big smile.
"So what are you scared of?"
"Just... being in Tulsa again. So much happened there and I'm not quite ready to deal with it."
"Faith, you know my stance on running away."
"You mean 'don't do it'?"
"Well yes. But if you need a few days off, take them. You deserve it. Just don't leave him hanging."
"Thanks."
Angel leaned back in his chair and Faith lay back on the bed. They spent the rest of the day like that, the silence only broken by Faith's breathing. Coz well... Angel doesn't.
