Chapter Eight

Sam stood there and watches waiting to see what was going to happen, so much had happened in his life that he didn't jump to conclusions.

Cordy pulls away from the vampire she once considered her best, she glares at him pulls her arm back and punches him as hard as she could.

Angel bows forward in agony and covers his nose. "What did you do that for?" He mumbles through his hand.

Cordy places her hands on her hips and shakes her head in disbelief. "What do you mean why did I do that? You kissed me that's why."

Angel takes a deep breath and looks up at her. "Cordy I uhhh," he stutters. "I love you."

"What the…you have to be kidding me." Cordy pauses. "Angel you have to stop doing this."

"Doing what?" His handsome face full of confusion.

"I'm not going to be your next Buffy!" She says simply.

"I don't think of you as Buffy." Angel replied quickly.

"No Angel what I mean is you tend to hold onto things. You can never move on unless you have no choice. If you had said something before I left something maybe something could have happened between us, but you didn't and I met and fell in love with Sam. You are punishing yourself for what you are Angel, you need to get over that or you are never going to be happy even after you get your redemption." With that Cordy turns around and sees Sam, she walks over to him and takes hold of his hand.

Buffy watches as Cordy and Sam walk over to their family. Dean was smirking and Faith shaking her head grinning.

Spike had heard what Cordy had said to Angel, it was true of him as well. He had to let Buffy go, she didn't want him.

As soon as Angel walks in Buffy rushes to his side smiling up at him. He looks down at the woman who had loved once upon a time but did he have feelings for her now? He smiles sadly at her, Angel didn't know where he belonged.

"Look it's been a long night, we're booked into the motel just down the road we'll catch up tomorrow night?" Faith asked as she looked around.

Everyone nodded in agreement. "I'll leave as well." Spike mutters as he leaves with the Winchester's.

Faith walks slowly so she and Spike are a little behind the others. "So you too huh?" She asks.

Spike turns to look at her. "What?"

"Buffy must have a pheromones that attracts vampires." Faith says softly.

"I don't know what you're talking about." Spike turns and walks away from her.

Faith shakes her head. "Buffy, Spike and Angel way to much Romeo, Juliet and a soap opera." With that she runs to catch up with the others.

Spike hears what Faith had said. "Why can't she love me." He whispers for the first time really feeling used by someone who he had least thought was a friend but since Angel had been here Buffy had ignored him completely.

The blonde vampire knew it wasn't intentional but she was so use to things revolving around her that at times forgot that everyone else had feelings as well.

The yellow-eyed demon smirked he knew when to team up and to get rid of two of the Winchester's would be perfect and then the happy couple would be his and he could watch the two of them go head to head and see which one killed the other.
