This was a cute idea that I had in my head and I decided to see what I could come up with. I really like how it came out and I think this is probably one of my favorites. Well, I hope you guys would like it and leave me a review. I practically live on them!
Chapter 1
"You're breaking up with me?" Buffy Summers said as she was staring at her boyfriend, shock and hurt written on her face.
"I think it's for the best. We both want different things and I think we need to take some time off." Buffy still couldn't believe what she was hearing.
"I don't understand this, Riley. You want to take a break from us?" She wondered and Riley took a deep breath.
"I just can't be in a relationship right now. I just don't think I can commit to one person. I'm really sorry, Buffy." He explained and Buffy tried not to cry.
"We've been dating for two years. How long have you felt this way?" He took her hand in his and gave it a squeeze.
"For a while now. Things were great in the beginning, but lately you've been a bit distant. I feel like I can't talk to you anymore and it would be best if we saw other people. We have to experience what else is out there. I hope you can understand that." Buffy pulled her hand out of his grasp and started to feel the tears form in her eyes.
"Yeah, I understand fine. I hope you have a nice life." She told him as she stood up and walked out of the restaurant, tears streaming down her face.
"I just don't understand what went wrong. I thought things were going well." Buffy said to her friend the next day.
"You'll be okay, Buffy. It just wasn't meant to be." She said as she rubbed Buffy's back in comfort. Buffy stopped crying and looked at her friend.
"I'm sorry for getting all weepy on you, Willow. It's probably the damn hormones." She stated and Willow nodded in understanding.
"Did you tell him that you were pregnant?" Buffy sighed as she shook her head.
"I couldn't tell him. He probably would have done the right thing and decided to stay with me because of that, but I don't want that to be the only reason he's with me. God, when did everything get so messed up? I just finished college and I had a great boyfriend. Now, I'm pregnant and my baby doesn't even have a father." She stated as more tears fell down her face. "I'm so scared, Will. I don't know how to raise a baby by myself." She stated and Willow gave her friend a hug.
"You won't be doing it alone, Buffy. I'll help you out anyway I can." Buffy gave her a small smile.
"Thanks, I really appreciate it." She let out a sigh as she stood up. "I guess I'm gonna have to tell my mom. That should be a fun conversation." She said sarcastically. She then took a deep breath and left the apartment that she shared with Willow. It was time to face her mother.
"I'll kill him! How can he leave after getting you pregnant? That bastard!" Joyce Summers yelled as she paced back and forth in her living room. Buffy tried to calm her mother down.
"Mom, he doesn't even know I'm pregnant." Joyce looked back at her daughter and calmed down enough to sit on the couch.
"That still doesn't make this right. Have you thought about what you're going to do?" Buffy shrugged and sat down next to Joyce.
"I don't know. I just know that I'm keeping the baby. Even if I have to raise it without a father." Joyce felt for her daughter and knew how hard it was to raise a child alone.
"Honey, you don't know how difficult that will be. We'll just have to find you someone. There's this nice man that works at the gallery. I think he would be perfect for you." Her mother stated, with a huge smile on her face.
"I just got out of a relationship. I'm not looking to date anyone new right now. I appreciate the help, but I'm going to be fine." Joyce looked like she was about to say something else, when Buffy spoke up first. "I should get going. Don't worry about me, mom." She said as she placed a kiss on her mother's cheek and walked out of the house. "I'll visit next week!" She yelled to her mother as she went to her car and then drove away.
Buffy was walking the streets by herself later that night and was busy thinking about everything that happened. She noticed all of the happy couples around her and felt a twinge of sadness. She met Riley in her sophomore year of college and they were so in love, or so she thought. She didn't understand when things started to change for him. She wrapped her arms around herself when she started to feel a chill. She then looked in the distance and saw a young couple with a little girl. She felt tears prick her eyes when the man picked up the child and swung her around. She shook her head and looked away. She wouldn't let that happy family affect her. She was going to have a child and everything was going to be okay, with or without a father.
A black car road toward town and smashed into the 'Welcome to Sunnydale' sign. The car stopped and a man in a leather duster, with bleached hair stepped out. He had a cigarette hanging from his mouth and a smile on his face. He left Sunnydale years ago after he graduated from high school. He never knew that he would one day be coming back to a town that caused so much trouble for him. He had problems in England when he was younger and was sent to live with his uncle in Sunnydale to keep him out of trouble. Of course, the trouble didn't stop there. His mother passed away recently and he didn't care for being in England anymore, so he decided to see what his uncle was up to. He took the cigarette out of his mouth and threw it to the ground, stepping on it in the process. He took a deep breath and looked around at his surroundings. "Home sweet home." He said to himself as he got back in the car and drove towards his destination.
