A/N: So...I figured since it's a new year I could actually try and write something? :) I've had this story sitting around (although not finished...) and I wanted to try it out. If you like it and think I should keep going, please review! :)

Summary: She walked out of his life again. However, The Powers That Be are giving him one final chance. Make her remember in time, they'll make him human for good. Can he do it? Can he win her heart again and make her believe he won't ever leave again? Post-IWRY

(Buffy POV)

No…how could he? Doesn't he know what this will do to me? "What did you say?" "I asked the Oracles to turn me back. If I didn't, you would die before you're meant to." "I don't give a damn! I just want to be with you." "I know. I want that too. But I wouldn't be able to live with myself knowing you could've lived longer. Please, don't argue. Once the Oracles turn back time, only I will remember anything that has happened." "…What? How is that even fair? Why don't I get to remember what happened? I want to be able to cherish the time that I had with you…" "I'm sorry. Please, we have so little time…once the clock strikes midnight, it's over." I hug him as hard as I can, savoring these last moments together and listening to his beating heart.

"I won't forget you!" I whisper in his ear as tears stream down my face. He pulls back and then kisses me like there is no tomorrow. I guess in a way there isn't. As he pulls me back to him, I keep telling him I won't forget. Whether to convince myself or him, I'm not sure. "I love you. I loved you before, and I'll always love you no matter what. But promise me something?" "Anything," I tell him. "Promise me that you'll always be my girl." I give a short laugh, kiss him, and respond, "Always." I look at the clock, and see there is only five seconds left. Four, three, two, "I love you!" We both say it at the same time; one. Twelve dongs later, his hearts beats its last beat. It's over.

(Angel POV)

It's over. I blinked, and there I was, in my office, just like the first time when Buffy showed up. God she looked so beautiful. I saw the demon coming and yelled, "Watch out!" I pushed Buffy out of the way and got rid of the demon. "How did you know how to kill him?" "Just lucky, I guess." The rest of the conversation passed in a blur. I hardly remember anything she said. She was just too damn beautiful. Before I realized it, she had turned around and was heading out the door. "Buffy…" "What is it?" For a second, I thought I saw a little bit of hope glimmer in her eyes, but shook it off as something else. What could she possibly hope for from me? What she wanted I could never give her. Not anymore, anyway.

"Nothing. Just glad you stopped by, even if not to just visit." I saw the glimmer in her eyes die quickly. "Well, you're welcome I guess. Well, got to go. Bye, Angel…" Don't do it. Let her walk away. She deserves so much better and much more than you can give her. "I love you," I whispered as the door closed, as the love of my life walked out again. I kept replaying the time we spent together over and over in my head. She said she wouldn't forget! But she did, as the Oracles told you she would. Why? Why can't there be a way for us to be together? Why does fate keep tearing us apart? It's so incredibly cruel…

A/N: So...what did ya think? Please review so I can decide whether or not to continue writing this story!
