Running as fast as her legs can take her, as her vision began to get blurry from the down pour of the rain, she ran on the oh-so familiar road which she had been walking through to get to his house every morning and afternoon for the past 2 years. Don't leave. Please don't leave she chanted in her head. When she saw the house only a couple of yards down, she started running faster, if that was possible, considering the speed that she was already going. As she got to the front door she started knocking furiously, open up, open up she thought. The door swung open and there stood Mrs. O'Connor.

"Caroline, is he still here? Did he leave?" Buffy asked.

Buffy Summers and her boyfriend Angel O'Connor had been dating for the past 2 years. Everyone knew that it was a match made in heaven. Everyday Buffy would stop by his house before she left for school and after school. Angel's mom, Caroline O'Connor, had considered Buffy like daughter, and Buffy had considered her as a second mother. Caroline just wouldn't accept Buffy calling her 'Mrs. O'Connor', so they both came to an agreement that Buffy was allowed to call anyone, in that household by their first name. Buffy and Angel had spent every waking moment together, until that fatal day, when Angel got the letter; everything just went downhill from then on.

"I'm sorry Buffy, he left 30 minutes ago" Caroline answered, watching Buffy's eyes start to brim with tears, and watched as one accidentally slipped out. Buffy turned around and took a deep breath, she was too late. Turning around and thanking Caroline, she walked down the stairs of the front porch and into the pouring rain. Getting even more wet, as her whole body went numb, she couldn't feel her tears falling as she started to walk back home. There was nothing else she can do. Just as she reached the end of the walkway, Caroline called out to her.

"Buffy! Hold on! I'll drive you to the airport; he doesn't leave for another 10 minutes!" Grabbing her coat and her keys they headed for the garage. Buffy's face lit up with hope and she quickly followed, wanting to get to the airport as soon as she can.

The car ride was spent in comfortable silence, yet the tension hung in the air like smoke. They had reached the airport a few minutes later. Buffy literally jumped out of the car and ran into the International Departure area of the airport with Caroline trying to catch up behind her. Buffy stopped before the gates and frantically looked around for the one she loved.
