Part 1
Sunnydale summer 1998
Buffy Summers walked out of her house and down the road towards the house of her best friend- Xander Harris. She was followed close behind by her defacto 'Sister' Willow Rosenberg who was still in a wheelchair being pushed by her boyfriend-Oz. Buffy looked furious it had been two days since she had had to kill Angel to save the world now she was about to confront her friend about why he lied to her and she knew that she might end up hurting him as much as he made her hurt. How could he do this to her
*He lied to me* Her thoughts were as dark as Angelus' soul had been.
She finally made her way to Xander's house and banged on the door. Inside Xander was siting on the Sofa in his front room he clutched a ice pack to his chest he had been hurt a lot more than he had let on in the fight he had almost broken three of his ribs and he refused to allow more help. He heard the knock and hobbled over to the door. Opening it he looked out and saw his three closest friends on the doorstep, the women he loved stepped forward and punched him, he flew backwards and hit the wall, Hearing one of his ribs snap he gasped and tried to stand up.
"Wha..."
"How could you, You knew and you let me kill him, you bastard!"
She hit him again this time he managed to stay up
"Stop, Wait..." he pleaded.
As she swung for the third time he finally snapped, every time she had hurt him and pushed him away had finally built up. He hit her back VERY hard his right hand still had a cast around it and so added damage to his punch. She flew back and into the doorway.
"You want to know why? " he shouted, "I'll tell you, I didn't want to die. Pure and simple, If I had told you, you wouldn't have fought and you would have died and so killing me, Willow, Oz and everyone else on this damn planet and for what so you could get back that Fucking Brooding Shit of a Vampire. Well I'm sorry for that but I chose the world over that bastard an over your problems."
He was shaking in rage and stalked closer, none of them had ever seen the anger brimming out of him. His rage made him as strong and as angry as any demon they had fought.
"I have never met as spoilt and as brattish person as you in my life, you lost a boyfriend and lover and evil bastard at that, think about what others have lost beause of him and his kind, Jesse jenny others that were innocent and try even nearly coming close to our losses, I've lost as much or maybe more than you. Now get the hell out of my house and out of my life. And if you ever hit me again I swear I'll break you fucking arms."
With that Xander Harris bodily picked her up pushed her out and closed the door on the worst part of his life.
Outside the door the three of them sat or stood in silence- they had never seen their friend like that. Is it really that possible that they were so wrong about him? Buffy was the one shocked most of all, she had felt nothing but anger and guilt but had never thought about the things that had happened to him. No she thought he lied to me about Angel and the spell, she turned and walked off, but she couldn't hold the anger within her she felt like a part of her had been ripped out and trampled on, it would take a while to figure out which hurt more the loss of her true love or of her best friend and which of them had made this hole in her soul.
Oz and willow looked on trying to decide who to check on, in the end they chose neither and left the two of their friends to their own devices hopefully they would turn around and sort it out.
Xander Harris slid down the back of his door trying not to scream in pain the injuries to his arm and chest was causing. He started to cry- for the first time since Jesse had died he cried. He cried for his lost friends his loved ones and for his innocence his and his best friends'.
Three days Later
Sunnydale High School- Library
Giles, Buffy Willow and Oz were all in the library talking, well actually Giles Willow and Oz were talking and Buffy was moping in the big chair trying not to think about the loss of the two most important men in her world.
The Doors banged open and Cordelia Chase Rushed in went right up to Buffy and slapped her- HARD,
"You Bitch, He's gone all because of you he's gone." She started to sob.
Willow rolled up behind Cordelia and asked "What's going on, what's happening have you seen Xander."
Cordelia went over to another chair and collapsed in a heap into it.
"He's gone he sent me a letter it was postmarked two days ago. He said that he had finally had enough and that he had to get away from the people he's hurt so much. He's gone and it's all her fault."
Giles took the crying former May Queen and held her. Buffy looked as if she was about to collapse so Willow went over to her.
"Buffy I'm sorry but she's right, I know you're upset and I hope you'll realise this but he really did this to help you."
"Help Me?" Buffy practically screamed. "He made me send my boyfriend to hell and he then rips into me about things I couldn't have stopped."
"Buffy You started to lay into him and you expect him to take it?"
"You Blond Haired nympho Necrophiliac." Shouted Cordy, "If you hadn't have..."
"Enough." Shouted a voice. And everyone turned to look at the source and was surprised to find it was Oz. "He's just left and now everyone's arguing about whose fault it is. Well he has lost more than anyone else has. First of all Jesse dies then he gets hurt by Vampires, gets turned into a hyena, Buffy shoots him down on Spring fling night, he saves her but as soon as she's capable she goes back to angel." He looks at them one by one.
"He finally gets a girlfriend after all the problems he had with Ampheta and the others, and she then hurts him several times but luckily she takes him back. He's almost killed by Angel when he tried to get away from the women in that whole love spells thing. Then when Buffy's in hospital he faces Angel down." Buffy looked up at this.
"That's right when you were ill Angel decided to pay you a little visit and you would have been dead if Xander hadn't have been there. He knew Angel could kill him but was not willing to let anything happen to one of his best friends. Then finally he makes sure the world could survive at the expense of one Vampire and of course he gets hit and ripped into by the same person he's saved so many times and now to cap it all he's lot all his friends and family because of this. Now do you see why he does what he does because he cares more for us all than he does for himself and to stop hurting us he's left."
Buffy was impressed by Oz's speech he said more there than he had in all the time she knew him. Then everything he said took hold.
"OmyGod, OmyGod, OmyGod, OmyGod. What the hell have I done." She sat on the floor and started rocking. What have I done." She whispered before mercifully passing out.
