DISCLAIMER: NOT MINE!
"its over Angel" Buffy whispered softly, as she pulled out the little envelope that contained her ring and necklace. The ones he gave her, and handed it to him.
"no" angel said back, a little louder, pushing it back towards her.
buffy smiled at him, " it is. I can't do this anymore . I'm sorry."
Angel shook his head again trying to clear it, trying to take back just how much he hurt the love of his life. "Buffy I'm sorry, please just don't do this."
Buffy looked away with tears in her eyes, " Angel, its over and we have to let this go."
"no" Angel said again, "buffy I love you and I don't want to let this end."
"I know" buffy said softly looking at him again, "but no matter what you hurt me so much, and nothing can ever change that. Angel we've been together 3 years, I've never felt so betrayed by you. never cried myself to sleep like that, never thought you could hurt me that much. but you did, and I don't think that I could forgive you."
"Buffy I'm so sorry, it was a huge mistake and I love you."
"And I love you Angel. But it doesn't change anything."
"Buffy" Angel tried once more, but she held up a hand to stop him. Palm up, Angel knew that gesture, it was a plea for him to stop. That if he continued she would fall apart, it was heartbreakingly fimaliar and he hated himself for breaking her heart, and reducing his strong indepentdent woman to tears.
Goodbye Angel, Buffy whispered softly, before turning around and walking away. Trying to keep the tears at bay, but they flowed down her cheeks. She walked out the door, not even caring that school wasn't over yet. She needed to go home, where she could fall apart.. she wanted nothing more than to run back to him, tell herself he deserved one more chance, and she shouldn't give up. But she knew that he had run out of chances, three strikes. The tears came harder as she walked on..
Back inside the school, the gang came up behind Angel. Willow, Oz, Xander and Anya, Tara and Spike. They had all been friends for three years now. Except Angel and Spike who have known each other since they were born.
"Everything ok, mate" Spike asked, not used to seeing tears in his friends eyes. No matter how much they were at each others throats some times, Angel had always had his back, and Spike would die for his friend.
"No" Angel whispered. " its over."
"What do u mean over," Willow asked.
" She dumped me, said she couldn't do it anymore. Not that I blame her but that doenst stop it from hurting."
"Oh angel," willow said, "I'm sorry, its all our fault. we nagged u to go to the Bronze."
"Itss not ur fault, what matters Is I went, and I had way too many drinks. And now the love of my life hates me, and will probably never forgive me. "
"she will" Xander said, for once not teasing him, " she loves you."
" I know that" Angel said, "but I hurt her so much over these past two months. I wouldn't forgive me either."
The gang looked at him with sampthy, knowing just how much Buffy and Angel loved each other. And just how much, they had all screwed up with there friend.
