A/N: Now for the juicy stuff. Eeep! You guys should listen to this song. It's called Angel With A Shotgun by The Cab. Sooo Goooood!

Disclaimer: If it were mine, this would actually happen. And Angel would kick Riley's ass twice. BTW, Carters song last Chappie? Yeah, I wrote it. Its original and stuff.

Buffy went to the bar. It was on the other side of the Bronze, where no one could see the tears streaming down her face. She didn't cry for Riley, no, she cried beacause she knew exactly who wrote the letter for Carter's song. Even though her heart, her body and her soul screamed for him, her mind held her back. Her mind said that she wouldn't be able to take it if he left her again. And she knew it was right. She couldn't trust Angel with anything but her life. Her heart was a different matter. He was so afraid he'd break it, he shattered it into a million peices, and then took those and half her soul with him to L.A. At the thought of this, the tears fell harder. She could see the bar through the throng of people. Buffy wiped the tears off of her face, and pushed her way through to the bar. She could see Carter sitting with some guy. Then she got it. That tingling at the base of her spine. Her Angel-Sense. But that was impossible. Fricking impossible. He'd literally just left. Literally. but he was here. she could feel it, deep in her bones. She headed to Carter. If anyone would know where Angel was, it was her. He was practically her older brother.

"Carter!" She called. Carter and the man sitting next to her turned to her, revealing the man's face. It was Angel.

She didn't remember passing out, but next she knew, she was flat on the ground, a crowd of spectators around her. Carter was bent over her, and Angel was kneeling over her, one hand on her cheek, the other grasping her hand tightly.

"Angel?" She asked groggily.

"Buffy," he breathed out.

"What- what happened?"

"You passed out."

"How?"

"Shock," Carter supplied.

"Oh yeah. I thought- I thought you already left."

"Came for a drink, saw Carters show."

"Huh. Wonder who that friend of hers is?"

"Umm..."

"Angel, you can tell me. I won't run away. Not that I'm in any position to."

"I was the one who wrote the letter Carter used to help write her song."

"Thought so."

"Buffy, I'm sorry."

"Why?"

"You moved on. You didn't need that."

"I didn't."

"I know."

"No, I mean I didn't move-"

"Excuse me," came the shrill (annoying) voice of Riley Finn, as he pulled Angel off of Buffy and roughly pulled her up.

"Hands off my girl," Riley tried to look manly and impressive, but failed pretty miserably.

Angel nodded, took one last look at Buffy, a look that said, 'I love you', 'I miss you', 'I'll wait for you', all in one, and turned her knees to jelly. And then he turned to leave. She realized what was happening; he was about to walk out of her life, maybe forever. She couldn't let him. Buffy tried to go after him, but Riley wouldn't let go. He tried to pull her to him, but she turned and punched him in the nose. Then she ran. Again.

He was in the back allyway. She knew he would be.

"Angel!"

He stopped and turned to face her, "Buffy, go back inside. Riley probably wants to be with you."

"Screw Riley. I need to finish what I told you."

"And what's that?"

Buffy walked towards him. They were only 6 inches apart.

"I didn't."

"Didn't what?"

"I didn't move on."

"Buffy-"

"No, hear me out. I didn't move on, because I can't. When I told you I didn't trust you in L.A? I was lying. When I said I trusted Riley? Lying. When I said I'd moved on? Lying, and I'm so sorry. I'm sorry I was such a bitch to you. I'm sorry I hit you. I'm sorry that I told you those things, and I'm so sorry I hurt you." Tears were streaming down her face, tears of shame and remorse. With a shaking hand, Angel brushed them away.

"Please don't leave again. I can't, I can't..."

"Shh, shh."

He held her as she sobbed, silently crying himself.

When she stopped, she looked up at him.

"I love you."

"I love you."

And she kissed him. Above them, a certain gypsy watched. A young girl sat by her side.

"Celia, would you like to help me do something for your cousin?" She asked.

"Oooh, yes please Ms. Calender," the little girl squealed.

Jenny Calender offered the girl her hand and stood. They began to walk towards the marble arches of the Watching Pools to the main chamber. It was time to see the Oracles.

My goodness! My first cliffy! Oh, how I love it. So, gonna make this a multichapter. Maybe only one or two left. We're gonna fix Angel's soul, and Something rather life changing will happen to Buffy that makes her rethink her relationship with Riley. Hint, Angel: 1x08. Reviews feed my muse. Toodles! P.S, the title choice will become clear when I finish the story. Ah, this is gonna be fun!
