Cordy took a Deep breath and walked over to the bathroom. "Faith i'm sorry ok, just worried. But i understand you need to be alone. So when your ready you can come out."
she walked over to her desk with a sigh. "I'm going to My house, I'll see you all in the morning."

"Faith i'm sorry ok, just worried. But i understand you need to be alone. So when your ready you can come out."
Faith stopped trashing the bathroom and sat on the floor, feeling only slightly better. She couldn't help but feel a lot of the trouble they'd been having was her fault. If she had never been let out of prison in the first place, then Henry wouldn't have come to the hotel threatening Cordy and Fred. Wolfram and Hart wouldn't have captured her and thrown her into torment. Angel would still have his hand because she wouldn't have needed rescuing and she also wouldn't have stabbed him while they were training.
But on the other hand, she might never have realised her true feelings for Angel. Not that there was really anything to that, or was there? They'd shared a couple of kisses and he'd stayed by her side during the night. That was all. Nothing more, because how could there be? A Slayer and a vampire? He'd been down that road before, and it only led to heartbreak.
She brought her knees up, resting her elbows on them, her head in her hands. Things should have been easier when she had escaped the hell dimension. She should have been able to get back to normal. But, instead, she was spiralling out of control. Everytime she felt a new emotion, it was like it was too powerful for her to reign in and she just let it out, no matter who it hurt in the process. And she had just done it again to Cordelia. She had only been trying to help, but Faith had flown off the handle again and it was starting to get to her.

As her mood subsided, Faith began to pick up a few of the things she'd tossed across the room. When she came across the first aid kit, she suddenly remembered Angel was still bleeding out in the lobby. She opened the door to find him staring in her direction. For a second she didn't know what to say. He'd obviously heard her taking her anger out on the inanimate objects in the bathroom.
"I, er...had trouble finding this." She waved the first aid kit and gave him a weak smile. Sitting beside him, avoiding eye contact, she carefully untied the makeshift bandage. Her guilt returned and she grimaced when she saw the gash she had caused.

He sat there quietly, staring at the wall ahead of him, he was sick and tired of Wolfram & Hart using him as a punching bag everytim ethings didn't go their way. Okay, he deserved it most of the time but what just happened, it shook him right toi the core when he thought about it. The fact Carver did not show any emotion, invading his home, trying to kill him. He'd had enough, when the timewasright he was gioing to go to the offices of Wolfram & Hart and tell them to back off once and for all.

They sat in silence while Faith cleaned up Angel's cut. She was surprisingly gentle, her hands lingering on his skin possibly a little longer than they should have. She smoothed down the edges of the gauze she'd taped over it and began to pack up the rest of the kit.
When she was done, she watched Angel as he stared into the distance. He was deep in thought, a flicker of revenge and determination dancing in his eyes.
"Still pissed?" She asked, softly.

Looking at her, he tried to find the words to say to her, he wished he could be with her but he was realising more and more he and Faith where never meant to be, fate ad a real sick sense of humour sometimes "I'm okay now" he said lieing to himself.

He smiled half heartedly and stood up, he looked at Faith for a few moments, into her dark eyes, there was so much he wanted to say to her, so much he wanted to explore with her but he knew it could never happen. He looked away, disappointed in himself "It's just..." he paused for a few moments and sighed "It's just not fair"
He turned away from her and started walking to the stairs, back to his room where he could be alone.

She couldn't let him leave without saying something, but her mind was drawing a blank. He was right, it wasn't fair. It never was. There was always something to get in the way of their lives. Of their feelings.
"Then do something about it." She said standing up and following him up the stairs.

Walking up, he listened to her words. He was going to do something about alright, he just needed to do it when no one elsewould bother him, especially since he was badly injured. He turned the corner and reached the door of his room and looked at Faith "I'm just sorry we won't be able to find out we could have had"
