*Door Opens*


We walk in, there are no sings of Angel or Buffy. Cordelia looks for her first aid box everywhere, but she doesn't find it, so she calls the vampire. "ANGEL GET DOWN" but he doesn't appear until some long seconds. He walks with his head low. He looks just like a 15-year-old heartbroken kid. Who would guess he is a 200-year-old vampire now. There is dissapointment in his eyes, as well as sadness. Buffy walks down after him, with the same look in her eyes.



[Cahpter 4] 


[Buffy]


I get downstairs and see that Angel is pointing somewhere in the kitchen to Cordelia and to 'her'. They go away and before he turns around, I go to the door, I open it and go out. He called my name right before I went out, but I pretended I didn't hear him.

*Door Opens*

He stands in the doorstep, but still I don't turn around, I am hurt beyond words.. I really am. "Buffy" he calls yet again. I don't turn around, but I stand right where I am.

"what?" I say after a while

"We need to talk"

"We are talking"

I feel his hand on my shoulder and it makes me jump. "Look" he says but I cut him off and tell him "Are you nuts or what? you are gonna burn out"

"I don't care"

God!... I push them towards some trees that provide some shadow so he doesn't burn out "What the hell is going on with you Angel"

"I just can't take you being mad at me"

"Well guess what. I won't stop being mad at you just because you tried to burn yourself proving I don't know what"

"I just want you to listen to me"

"For God's sake Angel I'm a slayer I could hear you from a mile away"

"you can hear.. but I wan't you to listen"

"Huh?" I say frowning

"That I want to have a serious conversation with you"

"I'm sorry to dissapoint you Angel, but I don't see anyone's laughing"

"Buffy"

"Alright" I say rolling my eyes. "What is it that you want to tell me"

"You got it all wrong, perhaps yes I did give the wrong impression, but I am doing this for her as much as I am doing it for you"

"I'm sorry but I just have to frown at this. What are you saying?"

"That you think that I have chosen her over you and you are mad at me and that is why you are leaving"

"No, I'm leaving because I am tired already of being here, and yes Angel, you are indeed backing her up and chosing her over me"

"No I'm not Buffy. it's just that you started hitting her out of the blue"

"You see? there it is again"

"Buffy, you are behaving completely like a kid"

"I'm not" I whine. ok! maybe he might, but just might be a little right.

"But the point here is not who hit whom. Buffy you are hurting you with this just as much as your hurting her"

"I'm not hurting her, she is a fucked-up bitch"

"She is hurt, have you ever looked at her eyes?"

"No need to do that"

"Well you should Buffy. I mean she has changed, she turned herself to the police without no one harrasing her to do so, didn't her?"

"I guess she did, but.."

"You have to learn to forgive Buffy"

I shake my head. I know how to forgive. "I do know how to forgive. I forgave Willow, I forgave you, I forgav

He interrupts me and says "You really forgave us all?"

"Duh! what's your point?"

"What did we do to you?"

"Well, Willow, she started abusing of magic and then she turned real bad and then

Damn! He cuts me off again, I hate when he does that "In general, we sort of betrayed you and hurt you right?"

"Well yes, obviously"

"What did Faith do to you again?"

"Well she... she... she..." Damn "I don't see where you want to go with this"

"Buffy, she betrayed you and hurt you as well"

I snap at him "Yeah, but it was different"

"How?"

"cause" I say without really finding excuse

"Just think about it Buffy. Why can't you forgive Faith"

"I don't know Angel, I just can't and I won't. I... I gotta go home, take care. Bye"

"I..

"I'm just not in the mood for talking right now, maybe later"

"Take care"

"I will. Now go inside running so you don't burn out"

"Yeah" He answers with his sad look again. I guess he thought he was going to convince me to stay. It hurts me to see him like this, but I just can't stay right now.

"Byes"

"Bye" he says quietly.

[Faith]


Angel tells me and Cordelia where the first aid box was. It was in the kitchen, so Cordelia and I go there, besides I think Angel and B need a little talk.

After Buffy went out there were no sounds in the house, probably Angel went upstairs again or I dun... "SHIT"

"what Faith?"

"It hurt"

"But you're a slayer"

"I know.. but putting alcohol in a wound... that is just cruel"

"I'm sorry" She says trying to hide that she was laughing.

She broke my nose and gave me a huge wound in my head. Man, it's gonna take long to be pretty back again

"Done" she says with a smile and wakes me up from my thoughts making me jump a little.

"Aw"

"Hey, I have to get some groceries, Angel makes me do that" she says complaining

I pout "Aw poor little you, does he really make you do that? you see, if you lived in my place you wouldn't have to go through all this" I say smirking.

"God Faith, are you ever gonna change?"

"Nah" I say smiling

"Well, I really have to go, do you want me to bring you something?"

"Whipped cream to eat it on you"

"What?!?!" she says

"Just kidding, uhm, just bring lots of ice cram" I say smiling happily

"Ok" she says walking to the back door and going away.



*Door Closes*


I go to the former living room, because it is all a mess now. I turn the TV and start putting all the things back on their place, seizing the ocassion to take out all those 'love test' papers and throw them out just in case someone apart from Cordelia feels like reading Cosmopolitan one of these days. 

I'm still putting the stuff back and the papers inside my pocket when someone opens the door.


*Door Opens*


It's Angel that comes in running smoking a little on the edges. "Gees! you like the sun don't you"

"Yeah, want to get a tan"

I laugh, but I notice that he is not smiling with me "What is it dead boy? didn't convince B to stay?"

"Nah, I told her something else"

"Aw" I say trying to make him think that I believe him, which I don't

"Where's Cordy?"

"She went to get some groceries, why you forgot to ask her for some frozen meals?"

"Just wondering where she was"

"Aw, well yeah"

"Uh huh, I'll be upstairs alright?"

"Yeah... I'll go take a walk, I'll be back soon"

"Ok, here you have a key" he says throwing a key to me

"Thanks" I say going to the door and going away.
