Chapter 1

Willow and Xander were driving up to visit their boyfriends, but this trip wasn't going to be a good one for either Willow or Angel. They have been dating for almost a year. Xander and Spike got together six months ago. It had shocked everyone except for Willow. She knew both her friends cared for the other, and she was happy for them. Willow and Xander went up to L.A whenever they had a chance.

Xander had noticed that Willow had been acting differently lately. They weren't supposed to go up to L.A until next week, but she said she had to go up today. They pulled up to the hotel just after eight. Xander grabbed his bag, but he didn't understand why Willow didn't have one.

Willow took a deep breath before walking in. she didn't want to do what she was about to, but she had no choice. They both walked in and saw Angel, Spike and Cordelia sitting around the lobby.

"Ello luv." Xander said in a bad British voice.

"Pet." Spike smiled and walked over to his boy giving him a passionate kiss. Spike loved Xander more then anything else in the world.

"Willow." Angel smiled as he pulled her into a hug and kissed her. Willow fought back the tears that burned her eyes. She didn't want this moment to end.

Both couple broke apart when they heard Cordelia cough.

"Hi Cordelia." Willow greeted.

"Hi Willow, Xander I thought you guys weren't coming up until next week." Cordy said.

"We weren't but Willow said she needed to talk to dead boy. Said it was important, and hey if she's coming up you know I am." Xander replied.

Willow looked down she was hoping to have a little more time before she had to do this.

"Willow what is it?" Angel asked concerned.

"Maybe we should go somewhere private." Willow said not looking at him.

"Come now Red. You can tell us we will find out anyway." Spike replied.

Willow sighed. This wasn't the way she wanted to do this. She didn't want to do this at all.

"Willow?" Angel asked.

"Angel this is going to work." Willow said.

"What won't?" Angel asked confused.

"Us," Willow answered. She refused to look at him. He would be able to tell there was something more.

"What do you mean?" Angel asked he looked at his friends and they all look as confused him.

"I… I don't… I don't love you Angel. I… I want a… a normal relationship. I want someone to…to walk in the sun with." Willow said her voice cracked a little and tears burned her eyes.

"What?" Angel asked pain in his voice.

"I… I never loved you. I… I was…was lonely, and…and you were…were there." Willow replied.

"Willow." Cordelia said not believing what she just heard.

"Get out." Angel whispered.

Willow turned and caught Xander's eye, but turned away quickly. Xander could read her eyes just as well as Angel. She left the hotel without another word.

"I did what you told me to. Now leave me and everyone I care about alone." Willow said quietly.

"Aww little tree don't be mad. You and daddy could have never worked out." Dru giggled.

"Leave me alone." Willow said and ran to her car and drove off tears streaming down her face.
