Chapter Two

Disclaimer: I don't own Buffy the Vampire Slayer or Angel in any way.

Buffy walked in the house and knew instantly that something was wrong. She closed the door behind her and walked into the living room were she saw her mother sitting with a plate of cookies and a smile on her face. Buffy rolled her eyes and flopped down beside her mother. When either one of them did anything that they knew the other might have a problem with they talked it over in the living room with a plate of cookies for a peace offering.

"What's wrong?" Buffy asked. Joyce just continued to smile and offered Buffy a cookie off the plate. She grabbed one and quickly took a bite.

"As you know Bill and I have taken our relationship to a new level," Joyce started. Buffy cringed at her mothers words but nodded showing that she remembered her earlier words. "Well we both decided to take it up a notch and were getting married." She flashed her ring to Buffy and her jaw dropped and her face went blank.

Her mother had only been going out with Bill for three years, it took her all through high school and collage to marry her father so she naturally assumed that she would do something like this by the time she herself was in was in collage. It was either that or just forget about him completely, Buffy had hopped for that one. It seemed like she wouldn't be getting her wish any time soon.

"Buffy are you ok? Do you need another cookie?" Buffy shook her head and held up her half eaten cookie showing that she hadn't finished her first one yet. Joyce put her head on Buffy's shoulder and sighed. "I don't spouse this is a good time to tell you that were moving to L.A"

Buffy looked down at her mother as her eyes bugged out of her head, Joyce removed her head and Buffy turned and glared at her. "What?! We can't move, all my friends are here my boyfriend, we just can't." She flopped back on the sofa so that her back was now touching the cushions fully. "What were you thinking?"

"I was thinking that I need to be happy once in a while," Joyce shot out. She looked at her daughter and saw how miserable and sad she really looked. "I know it's a lot to take in but I love him and he really makes me happy."

Buffy looked over at her mother and frowned. "Does he make you happier than daddy used too?" Joyce launched herself into her daughter's arms and Buffy returned the embrace. "Oh Buffy I know how much you love your father and it was hard on me when he died too, but I know he would want both of us to be happy."

"But don't I make you happy, aren't you happy with the life we have?" Joyce patted Buffy's head and let out a small chuckle. "Yes I am happy but being with Bill makes me happy in a different way. You're a teenager, you know women have needs."

"That was more than I needed to know mom." Joyce chuckled again and Buffy smiled.

"If it's ok with you I want to spend some time alone." She let go of her mother and got up off the sofa. "I'm not saying that I hate the idea of you two together entirely I'm just not as thrilled as you are." She ran a hand thought her hair and then let it rest at her side. "I'll be back soon, what time is dinner?"

"Six-thirty, but try to be back before then, Bill and his son are coming over." Joyce picked up a cookie and Buffy just stared.

"He has a son, why wasn't aware of this until just now?"

"Huh, you mean you didn't know?" Buffy shook her head and Joyce went to open her mouth to speak but Buffy put her hand up singling that she didn't want to know.

"I'm leaving but I'll be back soon, k?" Joyce just nodded too exhausted to say anything else to her dramatic daughter. She watched her walk out the door and she knew exactly where she was headed. "Say hello to your father for me" she said to the now empty room.


Buffy was driving in her car in complete silence, her usually booming car was only silent when she was in deep thought or when the stereo system was acting up, this time it wasn't the stereo. The only sound that could be heard was her heavy breathing and the soft mule of the car. Once she reached her destination she came to a stop and got out of the car. She stood out side and let the crisp air wash over her as she walked slowly to see the person she was searching for.

"Hi dad, long time." She sat in the grass and ran her fingers over the tombstone, it read: Hank .J. Summers, devoted husband and loving father. She smiled at the memory of all the wonderful times they shared together when she was a child; she soon stopped reminiscing once she remembered why she had come.

"Mom is engaged, are you as shocked as I am?" She let out a light chuckle and imagined her father when he would laugh. "I just got the news today and thought I should be the first to tell you. I really want you to know that you're the only father I need in my life and I have prepared myself to tell Bill just that."

She closed her eyes as they started to water and she dug her hands in the dirt. "That's not what you would have wanted me to do and a part of me wishes that you would. I will give my blessing for this to happen but I just don't see any good coming out of this at all." She unclenched her fist and the dirt sifted out of her hand and fell to a pile on the ground.

"I just whish you could be here then none of this would be happening. I love you ya know?" Silence was her only response but she knew his answer was yes as always.

Buffy was awakened by someone calling out to her. That call was soon followed by arms wrapping around her and pulling her into a sitting position. Her eyelids opened slowly and she made the outline of the person cradling her in their arms.

"Spike?" she asked softly. She opened her eyes fully and saw that her guess was right. "What are you doing here?"

"I called you fifty times and you didn't answer, I got worried so I asked your mum if you were ok and she told me you'd be here. It's not good to fall asleep in the cemetery luv, are you ok?" He picked the leaves and grass out of her hair as he looked down at her with worried eyes.

"I'm fine I just needed to talk to my dad about some stuff, it's getting to me is all." Spike looked down at the grave and sent her alight smile. Mr. Summers was always kind to him and he was sad to hear the news about his death. During that time Spike became more than a friend to her and he always thought that her father had brought them together.

"What's wrong?" Buffy sighed and wished she had never opened her mouth. Spike was the first real boyfriend she had ever had, and now she was going to have to leave him behind and start a whole new life without him. She quickly got to her feet, almost falling over, and started the walk to her car.

Spike got up as well and followed after her. "Buffy tell me what's wrong so I can fix it." He grabbed her wrist and Buffy looked at him sharply.

"My mom wants to move and I might never see you again. Can you fix that Spike, can you?" He pulled her close to him and she started to pound into his chest. Tears escaped her eyes and Spike just rubbed her back and whispered soothing words into her ear. She soon stopped pounding and melted into his embrace as she cried her eyes out.

They stayed like that for what seemed like hours until Buffy's tears stopped and then all that was left was the stillness of the moment. "Spike?" Buffy asked breaking the spell that had formed over them.

"Yes pet?" She smiled up at him and set a passionate kiss on his lips; she pulled back and looked at him as he slowly opened his eyes.

"I never want to leave you." She put her head back on his chest and he held onto her.


"Buffy is that you?" Buffy closed the door and walked into the kitchen where she knew her mother's voice came from. "Yeah, sorry about not being her earlier I had to talk to Spike then drive all the way back here. I'm going to get ready right now." As she entered the kitchen she saw two other people in the room with her mother.

"Buffy you remember Bill." The older man waved and sent Buffy a smile, she returned it forcefully and then looked at the boy at his side. "This is Bill's son, Evan." Joyce gave him a smile and he returned it much like Buffy had

Bill was not a bad looking man and Buffy applauded her mother for having good taste, he had dark brow eyes and thick but short dark brown hair. His attire consisted of a light brown suit and a pair of brown shoes, brown pants, and a light blue shit with a nice colored tie hanging from his neck.

Her eyes then wondered to the boy sitting next to him, Evan had on a simple pair of blue jeans and a black My Chemical Romance t-shirt. His blond hair came down to his neck and was slightly tucked behind his left ear, which showed off the two small silver hoop earrings that dangled from his ear.

Buffy, where have your manners gone?" Joyce asked as her daughter continued to stare at Evan. "What? Oh it's just- never mind, I'm going up stairs to change and then I'll come right back down."

She headed out the door but turned on her heal and looked at Evan again "It was nice to meet you." Evan sent her a smirk and Buffy rolled her eyes and headed out the door and up the stairs.

Buffy had changed and came back down stairs wearing a pair of tight black jeans on and one of Spike's plain black t-shirts, it was a little big on her but she didn't seem to mind. When Joyce saw what she was wearing she let it slide and the four sat down and started to eat.

After dinner Buffy and Evan gave the adults some privacy and decided to go out and sit on the back porch and get to know each other better, after all they were going to be brother and sister soon.

"Loved the stunt you pull back there, I think it was inspired by my own clever thinking." Buffy laughed and nodded in agreement. "My mom had this really nice dress lying out on my bed for me to wear and then my thoughts drifted to you and I just had to get under her skin."

"Well I do try. So, I think your gonna like life in L.A, there sure is more to do than in this place."

"Hey, this place has been my home all my life and I'm not too thrilled about leaving it and everything I know and love behind." Evan sighed and cursed himself in his head. He hadn't meant to make her mad he just wanted her to know that moving might be a good change for her.

"I'm sorry, ok?" Buffy sighed and looked over at him.

"Me too. I didn't mean to snap like that I just don't wanna leave the only life I've ever known behind."

"I get that, my mom died and my dad packed us up and we moved all the way to L.A, it was hard at first but I guess I got used to it." He sent her a charming smile and Buffy shook her head.

"I'm sorry about your mom, my... my dad died too. He had cancer and he didn't make it .It was really hard on me too but I think actually being in this house made it a little better because I was reminded of all the good time we all shared. Now that were moving I'm never going to be able to look back at this place again, maybe if you had of stayed you would have handled things better."

"Wow," Evan said as he took all Buffy had just said in. They had known each other for about three hours at best and they were talking about the hardest things in their lives, loosing a parent.

"I'm sorry if I was out of line I ju-"

"No, it's ok you just surprised me. I pegged you to be this stuck up kid that would hate me on sight and complain all the time but here you are proving me wrong. You have just as much to deal with as me and I think I finally recognize that now." Buffy smiled and shook her head. Her day went from good to bad then to worse and then to sort of good, maybe moving wouldn't kill her after all.


Buffy awoke to the loud sound of her cell phone ringing off the hook. She grabbed it on the fifth ring and slowly sat up in her bed and answered it.

"Hello?" Buffy asked softly.

"I'm out side with Spike and Dawn right now, why the heck didn't you come and get me?" Buffy quickly looked at her alarm clock and saw that it read eight forty-five. She cursed and threw the covers off her as she hopped out of bed. "I'll be down in ten minutes if I'm not you guys can leave with out me."

She hung up the phone before she could reply and quickly got some cloths and ran to the bathroom. She grabbed the knob only to find that it was locked.

"Mom, I'm really running lat and need to take a shower, do ya think you could speed it up a little?" She heard the sound of rushing water from the sink and then it switched off, the door slowly opened and there stood a shirtless Evan.

"What the hell are you doing in my bathroom- no scratch that, what are you doing in my house?" He chuckled and shook his head.

"Don't you have to be off to school?" Her eyes widened and she pushed past the older boy and made her way into the now available bathroom. "Put a shirt on, would ya?" she said as she slammed the door in his face. Evan just chuckled and went back to the guest room he was sleeping in.

"Buffy, Faith says you have one minute before they pull off." Joyce yelled up the stairs to her daughter.

Bill and Evan shared a look as Buffy came rushing down the stairs with her back pack flung across her shoulder. She had on a pair of baggy black sweet pants, a white tank top, and a pair of worn in sneakers; her ear phones to her iPod were jammed into her ears and the music was blasting.

"I'm here, see ya later, gotta go, love ya, bye." Buffy rushed past her mother only to be pulled back but her hand grabbing her shirt. "Mom I'm gonna be late," she wined. She took the ear phones out of her ears and looked at her mother.

"It will only take a second. Evan is going to school with you today and he will fill you in on why. I want you to be nice and treat him like the older brother he will soon be." Evan smirked as Buffy schooled at him. "You two are to come straight home and we will discus arrangements later, you can go you got like ten seconds before they pull off."

As the words left her mothers mouth Buffy grabbed Evans had and rushed out the door just in time.

"Is this what our life is gonna be like?" Bill asked. Joyce nodded and gave him a quick kiss. "Are you ready for it?"

"I think I am."

Spike eyed the blond boy at Buffy's side as the two got into his car.

"Who is that?"

"We can talk while you drive, I can't be late again or I'm getting detention for the rest of the week." Buffy sent him a pleading look and he took off at the speed of light in the direction of the school.

"Aren't you going to introduce us to your friend Buffy? And please don't forget to tell us why he came out of your house with you." Buffy rolled her eyes and chuckled.

"You wanna tell them or shall I?" Dawn looked back at he two from her place in the passengers seat and raised an eye brow. She was very interested in all the good points Faith had just brought up and she knew her brother was too. She knew the two had broken up but she guessed he still had feeling for her.

Dawn had no idea how partly right she was, Spike was very interested in the boy who had just immerged from his girlfriends house. He wanted answers and he wanted them now. He increased his speed and growled as Buffy laughed at the other boy.

"They're your friends, you do the honor." Evan sent Faith one of his charming smiles and she almost blushed at the attention. Buffy saw this and made a note to ask her about it later.

"Ok, you guys are not gonna believe this….." So she told them the story and she was finished by the time they reached the school.

"Wow, that's really something" Dawn said.

"I know we both are still taking everything in. We'll get thought this together." Buffy smile up at the blond and he returned it. Spike glared and pulled Buffy with him towards the school.

"We're going to be late." The other there teens watched as Spike dragged Buffy into the school and she struggled to get out of his iron grip. The warring bell rang and they scampered off after them into the school.

"What the hell are you doing with that guy Buffy?" Spike asked in a hushed tone. They were in the hall way and no one was around.

Buffy finally pulled her wrist free and glared up at him. "What the hell are you talking about? Did you not just hear me say that we are about to become sister and brother? You can be so jealous sometimes." The late bell rang and Buffy cursed under her breath.

"Great now I'm gonna have detention. Thanks a lot Spike." She stalked off the first period and Spike just watched as she left.

Faith, Evan, and Dawn rushed into the building. They saw Buffy stomping down the hall and turned to Spike for an explanation. "The bell just rang and now she has detention" They nodded and watched as Spike went in the other direction off to class.

"Buffy's class is the last one on the right, room C26" Evan nodded and walked down the hallway to find his soon to be little sister, while Dawn and Faith went their separate ways and off to class.

That's all for now and I'm so sorry about not updating in a while, I'll try to put up another chapter really soon. See ya.
