A/N This is for Shadowfax, who taught me that a good writer can make you like a character you hate. All Characters are Joss' and the Lyrics are Michelle Branch "Something to Sleep to."

She's his yellow brick road

Leading him on and letting him go

As far as she lets him go

Going down to no where.

I can't believe I actually fought with Buffy. We've never fought. It's this whole Angel thing. Why did he have to show up the day after I find out he had sex with Buffy? The day she returns from her LA road trip to go visit him. I tried talking to her, but she just shut me out. I could tell something was wrong. Did she still love Angel? Is she upset because she wants to break up with me and can't find the words? I just wish she'd talk to me. The truth is better than not knowing where I stand.

She puts on her makeup

The same way she did yesterday

Hoping everything's the same

But everything has changed

Forrest is dead. That's what was bothering her yesterday. My best friend is dead all because of Adam. Adam did a pretty good job of hurting Buffy too. She's trying to cover up the bruise, but I can still tell it's there. I volunteer to help her patrol; I want this thing taken down as much as she does. But yet again, I'm not as good as Angel. I bet she'd take him along if he hadn't left again. Does he always just show up, throw everyone into chaos, and then leave without picking up the pieces? Buffy's still upset about seeing him again. I can tell that a part of her still really loves him, even if she won't admit it.

In my mind everything we did was right

Open your eyes I'll still be by your side

How could I ever have been so blind?

You give me something to sleep to at night.

He wakes up to the sound

So scared that she's leaving

He wishes she were still asleep next to him

Hoping she will change.

Well makeup sex is the best part of having a fight. Maybe Angel should come back more often. Okay now I'm just talking crazy, but I'm just so happy. I love wake up with Buffy in my arms. She's so beautiful. I know she has to go to class soon, but I just wish we could stay here all day. I feel so much better when I'm holding her. BUT SHE DOESN'T LOVE YOU. Whoa, where did that come from? Of course she loves me. She wouldn't be here with me if she didn't love me. Right?

You give me something to sleep to

And all I know is

You give me something to dream to

When I'm all alone and blue

Don't leave me now.
