What If?

Disclaimer: Don't own anything, never have.

Pairing: Definitely B/A ... I don't think I'm going to have any other main pairings in this story.

Summary: Ten years ago, Angel walked away from his girlfriend, Buffy, to pursue a dream of his. Present: Buffy is engaged to a lawyer and Angel is in the same town as she is, in hopes of winning her back before she says those two words.

Rating: MAJOR ANGST, AND MAJOR FLUFFINESS. It's a 50/50 thing.

Prologue:

"I don't want you to go," Buffy cried, holding her boyfriend, Angel's hands. He looked down at her, "I don't want to go either ... but baby, it's Europe."

"I know" Buffy wiped her tears. "It's mean your dream since you were born. I still can't believe you got in." Angel smiled tenderly at her, "I just wish your dream school was in Sunnydale."

He reached up, wiping her tears, cupping her hand. Buffy leaned into his touch, mentally memorizing every single feature of him.

"Attention! We are now boarding plane to London. We are now boarding the plane to London."

A fresh batch of tears erupted as she realized that this was going to be her last few minutes with Angel.

"I love you, Buffy. I love you so much, don't forget that." Angel whispered into her neck, sobbing.

"I love you too Angel. I love you too. I love you." Buffy sobbed, encircling her small arms around his broad body.

Angel released her, not bothering to wipe his tears.

"Goodb..." Angel interrupted her, "Don't. Goodbye is forever, but this will not be forever. I promise."

Buffy smiled weakly, before releasing Angel and letting him turn around and walk towards the gate. He turned around, to look at her one more time. Their eyes met, briefly, before he walked into the gate, and out of her life.
