She really couldn't believe this thought had never crossed her mind sooner. She had told Dawn she was going to tell Xander, but wait until after he was settled with the reality change. Then things had got crazy, and the fact that Xander didn't know about Anya had slipped her mind. People coming from different times was really throwing her off. It wasn't until Sam had even asked about Anya that Buffy remembered that Xander had no idea, because he was from a time where Anya was still alive.
This was the last conversation she ever wanted to have, but she had to tell Xander. He deserved and needed to know. It was probably going to crush him, and she didn't want that. As she walked out of her room towards Xander's, she felt her stomach turning. Her last text told Xander she'd be knocking on the door in about thirty seconds. Thirty-five seconds later she was standing outside his door.
It felt like she just gazed at the door for ages, though it was only a few seconds. Finally, after taking a deep breath and sighing, she knocked on the door. This wasn't going to be a fun conversation, and this wasn't going to end well.
