Dawn's Confession

Tears streamed down my eyes as I walked into the room. Why had this happened? Why now? Why me? I slowly stopped to remember a happier time in my life, a simpler time, but nothing came to me.

I knew things had to be different. I have to be strong. As I slowly circled the room, I picked up things that reminded me of him. When I turned to exit the room, I saw him.

His eyes were innocent like a child's; his face was perfect and flawless, so untouchable. His gaze met mine. I knew I would never amount to him. He was flawless, and I Dawn, can never love him.

"What happened?" He asked.

I tried to run too the door but his body blocked my path. Why had I fallen in love with a vampire? Why didn't Buffy warn me about the pain? Now I understand why she left Angel. The pain, it hurt my every being. Why did I let me get this far?

"Dawn, what's wrong? Why are you doing this?" His voiced soothed me, but I had to tell him. I couldn't lie to him anymore. The more I loved him, the more it hurt, and the more I know I will hurt him.

"James, I'm not worth your love!" I felt the words slip out of my mouth. He looked at me with an expression I couldn't read. The silence felt like hell. What was minutes felt like an eternity. He finally spoke, but not his usual soothing voice. He was angry.

"Why? Is it because I'm a vampire? Is it because I can't give you the warmth and love you deserve? Do you think that I'm not good enough for you? If that's the reason Dawn, tell me so I can help you accomplish your happiness!"

"No you don't understand!" Tears were flooding my eyes.

I felt myself slipping. I can't do this anymore, I can't hurt him. I don't want James to feel the pain. I wanted him to be happy, to forget I ever existed, and to live on the way he did before me.

"Then explain it to me Dawn!! Enlighten me!" He opened his mouth to say something, but I interrupted. "I'm dying James." Tears were now streaming vigorously down my face at this point. I felt him come closer. He put his arms around my tiny frame, and whispered in my ears, "I will not let you die, death cannot separate us, no matter how hard it tries, you will be mine, and I will only be yours." He held me close until the morning came, and the night disappeared.
