Love Sick

2 after days after a certain sewer break-up in BTVS S3. B/A *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Joyce: Buffy get out of your room right now!

Buffy had been locked up in her room now for almost 2 days. She had walked in the front door after going patrolling one day with Angel, when she saw Buffy she asked how she was but Buffy didn't answer her. She looked like someone had just died, but for all Joyce knew maybe someone had. But she highly doubted it. Then Buffy went straight up to her room and Joyce hasn't heard anything from her but a few cries now and then. Joyce just got a hold or Giles and now he's over at the house, but he hadn't been much help they both yelled for a while but nothing helped. No one knew what was wrong with her. Then Buffy screamed at them and told them to go away.

Giles: Why don't I go ask Angel what's wrong maybe he knows. Since she was the last person she really had a conversation with.

Joyce: (then she remembered the conversation she had with Angel about 3 days ago but hen quickly forgot) Yeah maybe might. You should go over there. DO you know where he lives?

Giles: I went there once when Angel was bad. He tortured me.

Joyce: Tortured you? Maybe he and Buffy together isn't a good idea at all. Oh my! He tortured her I can't believe he did that. He doesn't need to be doing this. Rupert lets go stake him.

Joyce said with her hand looking like she was about to punch Giles in the arm.

Giles: No don't worry Joyce it was when he was Angelus, since he lost his soul.

Joyce: O. Well that's good. I think. Angelus? Where does he get these names? How many does he have? Most people only have one. And they aren't very normal names he has either.

Giles: Buffy? Joyce: well I know that's a weird name too, but Angel? It's not very manly.

Giles: No. Shouldn't we be worrying about her?

Joyce: O yeah. You're right we should. But what about that soul of his? How does it come out? What's the deal with that? I never got a good explanation about it. Or Angel, really, all I really know is he's a vampire Buffy loves but shouldn't, and that he has really corny names. Like Angel and Angelus.

Giles: Really Joyce. Focus on Buffy. (Sounding a little mad)

Joyce: Oops sorry again. But wow that Angle is such a mystery. Now wonder I asked him to leave Buffy.

Giles: It's about time someone did that. I mean he's a nice vampire and all but a vampire and a slayer, it's quite poetic, but not very natural. I need to go.

Joyce: Where?

Giles: To find Angel.

Joyce: O yeah. I forgot you were gonna do that.

Giles: I'll tell Angel that he needs to talk to Buffy. He can get her to tell us what's wrong.

Joyce: Wow a vampire telling us what's wrong. Don't you think he's a little wrong? (Laughing)

Giles: Are you ok? Have you been drinking? (Concerned)

Joyce: Just a little. (With a smile and a wink)

Giles: (with his hand on Joyce's arm) maybe you should stop. (then ran off to Angel's)

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Door: Ding! Dong!

Angel opens the door.

Angel: Giles. Hey. What are you doing here. How's Buffy.

Giles: I was hoping you would know that.

Angel: Is she gone? Did she run away again. Like she did when she sent me to hell?

Giles: No. But she's stuck I her room and won't come out.

Angel: Stuck? You mean literally? Stuck? What kind of demon did this? Giles: Actually it's not a demon and no I didn't mean literally.

Angel: Then what is it? I hope it's not about what I said. Giles: Well what did you say.

Angel: I told her we couldn't be together anymore. And I broke up with her.

Giles: Finally. I knew you two would never last. A vampire could never love anyone or anything.

Angel: Then I guess you don't know much about me. I do love her. I love her so much that's why I had to leave her. And her mother didn't like us together either.

Giles: You love her to much? Well that makes no sense. So I'm gonna ask you to make sense of it.

Angel: You know that soul thing, problem, she's just so great that I'm afraid that one just seeing her smile or.......a really big smile would make me so happy that I'd lose my soul again. And you know I haven't even seen the light in 200 something years. And then the family thing she'd probably want too. It's just not a very fair relationship to her. And I feel selfish about it. Giles: I never thought you'd stop. OK. You need to talk to her. You have to be there for her. She doesn't care about any of those things she just wants to be with you and I'm sure Joyce wouldn't mind if you got together as long as it gets her out of her room. Angel: But there's so much more she needs that I could never give t her.

Giles: We could fix those.

Angel: How would we do that?

Giles: It's the Hellmouth, I'm sure we could find something to do. Angel: if she still loves me.

Giles: It's been 2 days and she's still in her room because of you. I'm sure she still does. After Jenny died I didn't get over her for.....um.....that was a long time ago I can't remember but it was probably a long time.

Angel: Sorry about that.

Giles: Why?

Angel: I snapped her neck.

Giles: O right. Now I remember.

Angel: Cool.......I guess. Let's go see Buffy.

Angel got his back leather coat and he and Giles went over to the Summer's house.
