:) A really short oneshot. Contains spoilers for "The Girl with the Curl" so if you haven't seen the episode, and you don't want to be spoiled...duh, don't read it.


"We go back, right? Friends?" She asks, but in her mind, she's screaming for him to fight. For him to say no, to tell him that he refuses to just be friends, that he wants- no needs- more.

"Sure. Friends." He says, his voice strangely devoid of emotion. He doesn't want to agree, and knows that he won't be happy if he just leaves it at that.

"Friends." She says, and he notes that her voice too, is empty sounding.

He's silent, but knows that if he doesn't do it now he could lose her forever. "But what if it doesn't go wrong? What if it goes right?"

Yes! He's not giving up! One part of Angela's brain shouted, while the other despaired. Why did he have to make it any harder for her?

No. She told herself finally. I am not going to be in a relationship with him. I can't be.

"Friends." Her voice came out more certain than she felt, and she wondered how in the world she made it sound like that.

He nodded, and slowly walked out of the room. She could tell by the way that his shoulders were slumped, and how he walked that his heart was breaking...just like hers.


Well? Please don't forget to review!
