Authors note: So I decided to post a story, I never thought that would happened again, but here I am. I should add that english not is my first language, so there might be some errors in the text. Sorry about that. But I hope you can look past that and still enjoy the story. The first chapter is pretty short. I kind of just wanted to see if there's any interest at all before I continue writing this story. :)

Chapter 1: The club

The past few weeks had been slow and there had been no signs of any major demon activity. Therefore Cordelia had convinced the gang that they needed a night out, otherwise she said "that they probably would die of boredness". Angel didn't really feel up for a night out, all he wanted to do was to stay home and read a book, but he also felt like there was something out there that was calling for him and begging him to get out in the night, so he agreed to tag along. On the way to the club Cordelia told him and Wesley that the owner of the club was the most popular guy in L.A and that his father was on of the richest people in town. Angel thought to himself that he wouldn't be surprised if Cordelia hoped to run in to this popular guy.

When the trio got closer to the club, they could see that there was a long cue outside, full of people who was hoping to get in. He and Wesley was about to give up and go home, but somehow Cordelia managed to get the gang in. As they passed by everyone in the line Angel could hear the sighs of people who probably had waited for hours to get in.

As the gang entered the club a new modern song bursted out of the speakers, the lights flashed in different colors and there was a huge dance-floor. Straight away Cordelia dragged a non-willing Wesley towards the dance-floor, as they walked of Angel decided to settle down at the bar.

He ordered a beer from the pretty female bartender who very openly flirted with him. Ignoring her attempts of flirting, he sat down and started to drink his beer. His eyes slowly drifted around the room hoping to figure out where the feelings from earlier came from, they had grown stronger since they entered the club. He watched as Cordelia tried to get Wesley to dance some modern dance, Wesley didn't seem to happy about this. As he watched his friends the feeling from earlier got stronger and he's senses kicked in, he once again started to observe the room. Almost immediately a girl a crossed the club caught his attention, or at least the person looked like a girl, you really didn't know this day Angel thought to himself.

The girl was standing with her back towards him, her long brown hair falling down on her shoulders. Without doubt he knew that this girl where the reason to he's feelings, only he didn't know why. Angel observed her and felt like there was something familiar about this girl. He continued to watch the girl and her friend who seemed to laugh about something. He got up from the bar and just as he was about to go closer, the girl turned around, as he saw her face he stopped dead in his tracks. Angel watched her, swallowed thickly, closing his eyes for a second, thinking his mind must be playing games with him again, because there was no way this could be possible. He slowly opened his eyes but the girl in question still had the same face as before, he watched her in chock. A drunk couple dancing in to him, brought him back to his senses just as the girls made their way out of the club. Angel quickly walked after the girls.

Outside the club he called her name, the name who had haunted his mind and dreams for the past year. The girl didn't respond and without thinking Angel walked towards them and gently grabbed the girl in questions arm as he said "Buffy?!".
