[pm] How can you be certain? She’s like a time bomb, you don’t know what will make her truly happy. You cant know until it happens. And what’s worse is that you didn’t tell me. You didn’t care enough to give me the tools I needed to keep Dawn safe.

[pm] She remembers everything, Buffy. She remembers all of it and it…it just doesn’t go away. No matter where we are or what we’re doing, all that stuff that she can never make up for is there with us a-and…and we’re careful, I swear we’re so careful and we’ve kept our distance from Dawnie because we know we don’t have the right. We don’t have the right and we want to keep her safe. And there’s a plan. I made a promise. In case the good parts of her go away. And I’ll keep it, Buffy, I swear I’ll keep it, you don’t have to worry about Dawn, I’ll keep my promise I swear.

I didn’t tell you because I didn’t want you hate me. Because I’m selfish, and I’m bad.

[pm] I will never hate you Willow. You’ve been there for me for so long and you’re my best friend. I love you and I’ll never be able to stop. No matter how much it hurts me. You can drag me down from heaven and I won’t stop, I didn’t stop. But I cant trust you right now. Not after Anya being back and no one telling me. I get why you did it, for protection. It’s the same reason you hid this from me. I understand, but I cant go on living this way. I at allow the people I choose to keep close to me to be ones who treat me like a monster. Its not healthy, not mentally. And the lies put me and mine in danger. I will always worry about Dawn. She could be bubble wrapped from head to toe and living in a padded box and I’d worry. Ive already lost so much, I cant take any chances. I love you Willow and I see why you did what you did, but I can’t do this anymore. Goodbye for now Willow. I hope you will come to understand one day why I had to do this.
