phone call @Buffy

Buffy: [is stunned as she takes it all in. But the answer seems to come easily for her.] Look Willow, its not who you are. It’s what you do. And if your magic is all wonky now, it doesn’t matter. [she wants nothing more than to be there with Willow now, so she can see just how much she means what she’s saying] You are so much more than the magic inside of you. Willow… You’re the smartest person I know. And you’re strong. You’re so much better at figuring out life than I am Willow. I believe in you. [She’s nodding her head even though Willow can’t see it]
Willow: [smiles so big and sloppy through her tears, you can hear it in her voice.] Buffy…oh god, Buffy. I…I-I’m not, I’m not ready to leave the house yet but…Buffy, can you come see me? Please? I um…I just..I can’t make it through this by myself. And I wanna be strong, I-I wanna be good like you even though I can’t be. I wanna keep trying. But it’s just…I’m sorry, but please? Please come…?
Buffy: [shakes her head and tears blur her vision] Nobody ever asked you to be like me, Willow. You are an amazing person and you’re you. Are you at home? I can come if you need me to. [she pauses for a moment remembering Faith.] Uh, and. Maybe Faith should… I don’t know. I’m not ready to see her, I don’t know what’d happen if I did. But I want to be there, for you.
