Angel
************************************
Spend
all your time waiting
for that second chance
for a break that would make it okay
there's always one reason
to feel not good enough
and it's hard at the end of the day
I need some distraction
oh beautiful release
memory seeps from my veins
let me be empty
and weightless and maybe
I'll find some peace tonight
in the arms of an angel
fly away from here
from this dark cold hotel room
and the endlessness that you fear
you are pulled from the wreckage
of your silent reverie
you're in the arms of the angel
may you find some comfort there
so tired of the straight line
and everywhere you turn
there's vultures and thieves at your back
and the storm keeps on twisting
you keep on building the lie
that you make up for all that you lack
it don't make no difference
escaping one last time
it's easier to believe in this sweet madness oh
this glorious sadness that brings me to my knees
in the arms of an angel
fly away from here
from this dark cold hotel room
and the endlessness that you fear
you are pulled from the wreckage
of your silent reverie
you're in the arms of the angel
may you find some comfort there
you're in the arms of the angel
may you find some comfort here

Xander and Willow
watched Buffy as she emotionlessly stared through the window. It had been a
month since her mother had died. A month, a whole bloody month. Xander and
Willow was beginning to get really worried about Buffy. She didn't sleep, or
eat, even when she slayed it showed that she wasn't really there.
"We're losing
her." Willow said turning to Xander with tears in her eyes
"No, no, she
just need a bit of time, she will get over it." Xander said trying to
sound as he really meant it.
"Come on Xander,
look at her." Willow said and pointed at her best friends who looked as
she wasn't even in the same room as them."
"She acts like,
like…"
"Someone
died?" Anya interrupted from her place before the TV.
"Shut up."
Both Willow and Xander said in unison.
"Whatever."
Anya muttered and returned to watch TV.
"We need someone
that can bring Buffy back someone…" Willow begins to say when Xander
interrupted.
"Angel, we need
Angel. Or at least Buffy needs him. I for sure don't."
"Yeah, I think
you're right." Willow said and looked back to Buffy who was still standing
at the window. She hadn't heard a word that anyone of them had spoken; she was
completely in her own world.

Los Angeles 10.20 PM
Ring, Ring.... the
phone rang just when Angel had slipped into his bathtub.
"Damn,
damn," He swore has he, quickly rose from the water, slipped on the soup
that accidentally was lying at the floor before reaching the phone, wet, with a
awful headache where his head had hit the sink.
"Yes." he
yelled in the phone." If is about that damn demon that tried to kill us
today Cordy, I will be really piss…Willow?"
"Angel."
Willow said before busting into tears.
"No, I didn't
mean to yell at your, stop crying, please." Angel pleaded, trying to make
Willow stop crying.
"Angel, Buffy
needs you". Willow said as soon as she stopped crying.
"What? She was
fine last time I saw her after the funeral." Angel said confused.
"She was only
putting up a show Angel, she's dying inside. Someone must help her; She's not
letting anyone in. Not Dawn or me or Xander, you're over last hope Angel. Can
you come?"
"Of course
Willow. I will come as soon as possibly."

Sunnydale.
The next day. In the evening at the cemetery.
Buffy walked around
the tombstones, looking for some vampires to dust.
"Hello, any bad
vamps, looking fro the pointy end of a wooden stakes". Buffy said trying
to esen up her mood.
"God, this is
really boring, isn't there any vamps out tonight to kill."
Then she heard
something behind. Finally she thought, spun around with Mr pointy to dust…
"Angel?"
Before her stood not
any ordinary vampire, but the love of her life, the man that still made her
heart misses a beat.
"Buffy," he
said hesitantly, looking at the stake that she still held in killing position.
"Oh." She
said looking at the stake." Oh, I'm sorry, God you should really stop
sneaking up on people like that." She continued now angry.
"One day you
will get yourself killed if you continue to do that." She said trying to
keep herself from throwing herself around his neck and kiss him.
"Buffy, your
rambling."
"No I'm
not." She said like a sulky child.
He just looked at her
with love in his eyes and Buffy felt her anger melt away with every passing
second.
"Angel."
she said, in a small voice, her lower lip trembling.
He held out his arms she looked at him for a
second before she lunged herself in them.
"Oh God, Angel,
I miss her, I miss her so much." She sobbed into his shoulder.
"Hush, hush, darling. I'm hear. I will never leave you again." Angel said stroking her
hair.
The she heard it; the
faint beating of a heart and it wasn't hers.
"Angel."
she said, not daring to believe what she thought she heard.
He looked at her bend
down his head and slowly kissed her. Then he whispered into her ear.
"I'm
human."
She just starred at
him, not really grasping it.
"How…" She
asked looking into his deep brown eyes.
"The oracles
told me that I had full field my destiny Buffy. I have only been human for a
couple of hours. When Willow called…"
"Wait, Willow
called you?"
"Yes, She and
Xander were worried about you. After the conversation I was on my way to see
you when they dropped bye to tell me that my destiny wasn't in LA anymore, it
was with you. They restored me. And am all yours if you want me." He said
with a big smile on his face.
"If I want
to…"Buffy didn't continued the sentence as she captured Angels mouth with
hers and kissed him with all her power.
Behind a couple of
trees stood her closed friends smiling at each other's, before they left the
couple alone.
