All recognizable characters and story lines belong to Joss Whedon, Mutant Enemy, and the WB. The story however belongs to me. Enjoy!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Willow Rosenberg sat as if in a trance on the end of her bed. How could she have let this happen? Oz was out of her life for good and it was all her fault. She had let her feelings for Xander get way too out of control and now they had ruined their former relationships and really any chance for one of their own. Could she ever find comfort in Xander's embrace knowing the pain that she had caused Oz. She didn't know. A knock on the door brought her out of her reverie. Touching her face with her hand she hastily brushed away the tears she had spilled.
"Ummm...come in" she said.
Xander opened the door slowly and shut it softly behind him. A defeated expression adorned his face.
"Hi Wil" he offered feebly.
"Xander, you shouldn't..."
"...be here. Yeah, I know but i am anyway."
"Well what's on your mind" Willow asked trying to assume her old role as the caring best friend.
"I went to visit Cordy in the hospital today"
"What happened?" Willow asked with a touch of fear in her voice. she thought.
"She didn't do anything. She just smiled a sad smile and told me as much as she had loved me she couldn't take me back. I told her how sorry I was but she just wants to be friends"
" Was she mad?"
"No she wasn't mad at all. She was surprisingly very calm and even friendly. It kind of worries me."
"Well at least you and Cordelia are still friends. Oz won't even speak to me. He says he needs time but I know he hates me"
The tears were welling up again but she couldn't keep them at bay. Xander quickly rushed over to comfort his best friend. He put his arms around her, feeling the sobs that racked her body.
"Shhh...Willow. Oz loves you, I know he does. He won't let you go that easily"
" It's not just that. You know that this is the end for us. I have to put all my strength into getting Oz back.You understand, don't you?"
"Of course I do and I'd rather have you as my best friend then not at all. So, here's to the end."
Xander brushed his lips against Willow's one final time and silently exited the room leaving her to ponder her thoughts alone. She ran to the window and discreetly peered out the curtain watching Xander leave. She smiled thinking of all the great times they had had being best friends and wondered if it would be so bad to go back. But what if it was too late...
"No," Willow said to herself. "It's not too late." and as Xander rounded the corner onto the next street she uttered under her breath "Goodbye Xander"
She left her post at the window and as soon as she eased herself back onto her bed the phone rang.
"Hello" she said clumsily after she had taken the phone off the receiver.
"Willow, this is Oz"
"Oz" she yelped as her heart pounded.
"Do you want to go to the Bronze with me tonight and talk"
"ummm...Yes!"
"Ok, see you then. bye."
Willow placed the phone back down and closed her eyes for a nap her mouth curved into a small smile.
