Fall To Pieces

[tarawhipped]

I can't believe I missed that last chapter, but then to have two to read, well yay! I love the relationship dynamics you've set up here. And the flirting, and the angst...truly excellent! The 'package unwrapping' bit was wicked good fun.



I'm glad it looks like Ocean's realized her mistake. Now if Willow and Tara would just wake up and tell each other how they feel they could get to the kisses and gay love.



Soon right?

Awwww.. Ok, 1. I reallllly <3 this story, I have no idea if I have replied to this story yet, but I'm gonna now if I haven't.. again I love this story, I just love your stories period..

and 2. so sad about both of them being all, "bla Ocean we're gonna make YOU happy so we won't talk to each other".. wtf is that?! Screw Ocean, they need to make themselves happy before all 3 of them aren't happy... I doubt that will happen, though, but I kinda think Ocean may be getting the hint that they reeeaallly care for each other and love each other and she needs to back off, so hopefully that'll come soon!



Ok, enough from me.. can't wait for the next update.

"...A-and I'm gonna make it up to you. Starting right now."

(Starts to smile)"Right now?"

[Stroke of Luck]

Ouch, that hurt Ocean alot...well its her fault, how can she be so jealous? Sure u wont lose anyone, not Tara nor her sis. They might not do so much with her anymore, cuz they share their time together, but once a while they will go out all together



And that comment about dating Oz, oh come on! Why should Willow be jealous? Like she said, she just wants to see the other person happy, Ocean should start to see it like Willow. Sometimes i am wondering who the lil sis is. For me its now Ocean and not really Willow, cuz Willows behavior is so grown up but Oceans LOL she has to learn alot i guess

[Arwen276]

Ocean had it coming! and she deserved every bit of it!

Her reaction although common and understandable to those who face the same situation, shouldn't have taken that much proportion...



She's protective of both her sister and best friend, but she's also jealous, and now...being rejected by both, will help her, try to fix things up? maybe?



MORE!!!





~Arwen

Hear That Baby? You're My Always... Willow

[Mikaelah Braenna]

I have to agree with Arwen, Ocean got everything she deserved. Maybe the guilt she is experiencing will teach her a lesson. Anyone can see the emotions Willow and Tara feel are genuine. Ocean needs to come to terms with that and stop being the jealous "older" sister.

Willow is going to Tara's work to see her, right? Fix this soon, please?!

HEY... just found this fic... after not being in kitten board for awhile... and i just wanna say... AWSOME!!!... i like how this story is set up... it's very different in a good way .... well just wanna say... KEEP IT COMING!!!!

"How can i/ Beleive that my heart will find/ Someone like you/ You see the really me/ No in betweens/ I had nowhere to hide/ You took away the walls around me/ Make me feel safe to share my truth/ I see the heavens open/ A heart that once was broken/ It's holding nothing back/ Now that i found you

Ocean got what was coming...

i like the last couple of parts



Ocean definitely got what was coming to her for interfering in her sister's and best friend's life, she has got some major groveling to do. hopefully Willow and Tara can work things out and admit their feelings to each other

I'm not stealing, I'm just taking things without paying for them. In what twisted dictionary is that stealing?
I can't watch this because its creepy and wrong and sickening...however I will watch out of curiosity

[sam darls]

Aww, holly that was so great..I loved it . I hope Will and Tara can work things out on their own, without Ocean. Love sam xx

Chapter Six - Lesbian Drama



Tara wasn’t the normal happy waitress at work, she didn’t really care if she scowled at a few friendly regulars. Her world was dark so why should everyone else have a bright one?



“You should really smile,” a male voice said.



“Oz,” Tara turned around and greeted the young man with a small smile. “Want a coffee?”



Oz shook his head. “No, I just wanted to pass on the message from Willow... she misses you and I think she’s confused as to why you’re ignoring her all of a sudden.”



The blonde sighed and finished wiping off her tables. “Long story,” she threw the rag in the bucket.



Oz nodded silently. “Look, Tara, Willow is my best friend and if she hurt you in anyway...I’m sure she didn’t mean it, or even realize it because-”



“Willow could never hurt me,” Tara smiled sadly. “But then again, I thought the same with Ocean.”



“I’m guessing this has the has to do with the whole unspoken rule,” Oz continued at Tara’s off look, “you know, best friends shouldn’t date their best friends siblings.”



“Oh, right.”



“Willow really cares for you Tara, she really does,” the young man smiled. “You should at least give her a call, let her know you still care too...or else it could be too late.”



“Too late?”



“Life is strange and it works in mysterious ways, Willow is on edge waiting for her call back and if that doesn’t pull through, she’s thinking about heading to Seattle.”



“What?” Tara yelped, causing a few costumers to look her way. “She never told me that!”



“Of course not, she just decided this two nights ago.”



Tara was in shock. Willow couldn’t possibly be thinking of moving away. Not over something like this...no, she had enough of this, Ocean would not ruin her happiness. But there was a fine line between pleasing your best friend and the person you love was when the person you love is your best friend’s sister. “I gotta go,” she quickly said, throwing her apron behind the cash and taking off.



A few minutes after Tara had left the restaurant, Willow walked in and found Oz sitting in a booth, alone. “Oz,” she frowned, looking at the young before searching the restaurant for a gorgeous blonde.



“Will...what are you...she’s not here,” Oz smiled sadly, watching his best friend search for Tara.



“Ocean said she was working,” Willow frowned.



“She was...she just left,” he paused and then sighed, “I told her about your plans for Seattle...I think it threw her for a loop,” he winced.



“What? You told her? Why did you do that?”



“Will, she misses you just as much as you miss her...I don’t have a clue what’s going on between the three of you girls and it really isn’t any of my business. But I love you and you’re my best friend, and I think Tara knowing what she does now, she went off to find you.”



“She did?”



Oz nodded. “She left a few minutes ago, probably went straight to the library.”



“Thanks,” Willow turned around quickly, then turned around again kissing her best friend on the head.



“No prob.” Oz shrugged. “Lesbians and their drama,” he chuckled.

Yeah! Tara is going to find Willow, but she just missed her. I am hoping that this does not continue and they can sit down and talk. I am sure Ocean is not going to like it, however, I think she has finally realized she was wrong. I am sure things will not happen as smoothly as we all hope. Great update.

Thank goodness Oz is a good enough friend to go to Tara and fill her in.



Seems like it always takes one person making a move of some sort to wake the other person up! Glad it worked in this case.

I like this Oz! He's a very decent guy, to find Tara and tell her about Willow's plans.



But let's talk a bit about Willow's plans. What's UP with going to Seattle? That's it? one thing doesn't go her way and she ups and leaves? without a fight or a talk?

This fic is great! I can't wait to see Tara confronting Willow about her plans to go to Seattle. What is up with that anyway? It's not like Willow to just give up, is it?

Ya know, I was watching a Bee Gees DVD when I heard a song that totally reminded me of this fic. Check it out:



Oh, girl I've known you very well

I've seen you growing everyday

I never really looked before

but now you take my breath away.



Suddenly you're in my life

part of everything I do

you got me working day and night

just trying to keep a hold on you.



Here in your arms I found my paradise

my only chance for happiness

and if I lose you now I think I would die.



Oh say you'll always be my baby

we can make it shine, we can take forever

just a minute at a time.

Oh, oh, oh.



More than a woman, more than a woman to me

more than a woman, more than a woman to me

Oh, oh, oh.



There are stories old and true

of people so in love like you and me

and I can see myself

let history repeat itself.



Reflecting how I feel for you

thinking of those people then

I know that in a thousand years

I'd fall in love with you again.



This is the only way that we should fly

this is the only way to go

and if I lose you love I know I would die.



Oh say you'll always be my baby

we can make it shine, we can take forever

just a minute at a time.

Oh, oh, oh, oh.



More than a woman, more than a woman to me

more than a woman, more than a woman to me



It's silly, I know, but I sometimes think up song that would fit with certain fics, I'm kinda songfic-y

Chapter Seven - Fall To Pieces



Sighing, Tara sat down on the big marble steps outside of the University library...no sign of the redhead anywhere. Though the lady inside told her that Willow wouldn’t be starting until next week. Working at the library meant no loss of Willow, and no loss of Willow meant that maybe there was still a chance.



The blonde sighed even deeper knowing just how much she hurt the redhead with not calling or even explaining her reasons for not having contact with her. Maybe Willow hated her and didn’t want things to change - for the better anyway.



“Tara?” Willow stopped at the bottom of the steps and squinted at her friend. “Are you lost?”



“Kind of,” Tara whispered, standing up. “How are you?”



Willow just shrugged and both women felt a slight awkwardness pass through them. “How are you?”



Tara mirrored Willow’s actions before trailing her hand along the brass rail and stepping closer to the redhead that took her breath away. “I’m sorry about avoiding you,” she licked her lips.



“I was worried about you,” Willow confessed, “and I was worried that maybe I had done something wrong. I didn’t understand Tara, I mean I know I’m just that little redhead that ran around making yours and my sister’s life miserable...but I just wanted to be closer to you.”



“You’re not little to me anymore sweetie,” Tara whispered. “You’re Willow, an amazing young woman whom I adore.”



“I am?” Willow’s eyes shot open.



“You are,” Tara breathed, “can you forgive me?”



“There’s nothing to forgive,” the redhead met baby blues. “Tara, I just want things back to where they used to be...I want you to talk to me...I mean, I get that with Ocean not really liking...I mean, I don’t even know for sure if you like me the way I like you, but I know Ocean doesn’t agree.”



“I don’t just like you Will,” Tara brought a hand up to Willow’s cheek. “I’m falling, hard and fast and I don’t want the heavens above to catch me, if it means that you won’t catch me as I fall, then I just want to keep falling, I want so much to know that my heart is there for you...always.”



“Oh Tara,” Willow smiled and hugged the blonde close. “I’ve been in love with you for years!”



“I know,” Tara smiled and pulled back, wiping away the tears from the freckled face in front of her. “But I had to wait until you were of age,” she chuckled, placing a tender kiss on Willow’s forehead.



“Why?”



“How else can we express this unspoken love?” Tara smiled softly.



“Oh,” Willow blushed.



“About Ocean, sweetie, I don’t know what to do...all I know is what I want, and I want us to be happy.”



“I do too, but how can I not hurt my sister in the process of being in love with her best friend?” Willow said sadly.



Tara sighed and brushed a few red strands from Willow’s eyes and looked at her intently, “she knows,” she whispered, “she knows what I feel for you and she may not understand now, but she will. Ocean loves you, you’re her little sister and she’s very protective of you and she loves me because I’m her best friend and she knows that I’d do anything for her... but not being able to confess my feelings for you is not one of them,” the blonde held her voice low and quiet.



Willow had tears in her eyes. She was torn between following her heart and not destroying her sister in the process, but she felt Tara was right. Ocean loved them both and it may take time for her to get used to it, she will eventually. “So what now?”



“Well, I could go back to work and explain why I took off...which I should explain to you why I took off,” Tara sat down on the steps and pulled Willow beside her, taking the redhead’s hands into her own and holding them gently, “Oz told me about your plans if this University library things doesn’t work out...”



“I know, I went to the restaurant and he was there, I’m sorry I never told you...I couldn’t-” Willow was cutoff by two delicate fingers placed on her lips.



“You’re not moving to Seattle,” Tara spoke in a low firm tone.



Willow raised her eyebrows and allowed a half smirk grace her lips. “And why? Because you said so?” she teased, squeezing the blonde’s hand affectionately.



“Well...yes, but no,” Tara giggled and was happy to hear Willow joining her as well.



“Miss Rosenberg, I see you couldn’t wait until we phoned you,” An older male came walking down the marble steps with a briefcase in hand.



“Mr. Leslie,” Willow stood up and straightened out her long denim skirt, clearing her throat. “How are you, sir?”



“Good, and yourself?” he let out a soft chuckle.



“I’m good,” the redhead looked down at Tara, who was still sitting, “better...great...I’m great,” she smiled.



“Oh good...great to hear, I take it your blonde beautiful friend told you the news?”



“N-no sir, I didn’t,” Tara hopped up and bit her lip, waiting to see Willow’s reaction with the good news.



“News? What news?” Willow frowned and looked back and forth between Tara and the guy who was about to hire her for the job.



“Congratulations Willow Rosenberg, we’re happy to have you on our library board, with your amount of knowledge, I’m sure our University library will pick up!” Mr. Leslie shook a shocked redhead’s hand, giving her a friendly pat on the back before taking off down the steps and to his vehicle.



“I...wha...huh?” Willow turned around and looked at Tara with wide eyes. “Did he just...? Did I just...? I’m not going to Seattle!” She yelped and jumped up and down excitedly. “Tara! I got the job!”



Tara laughed and watched Willow as she fell more in love with her, bounce around like a little girl at her best birthday party.



Willow noticed Tara’s thousand watt smile and threw her arms around the blonde’s neck, nuzzling the soft skin lightly. “You knew?” she whispered, finally calming down.



Tara smiled and tucked red hair behind perfect ears. “I went in there to see if you were there and they told me you didn’t start yet...so yes, I knew... and I was about to tell you that was why you weren’t going to leave me for some job in Seattle.”



Willow swallowed and cupped the side of Tara’s face in her hand, stroking the smooth skin lightly with her thumb. “Amazing,” she whispered before leaning in and pressing her lips gently against the blonde’s softly.



Tara’s heart swelled and beat faster as she felt silky lips move against her own in a slow melody. Her hands buried themselves in red hair as Willow and Tara shared their first, romantic, kiss.
