An Old Ally Chapter 5: Sorry's

Angel and Gunn arrived at Wesley's apartment to find it deserted. They searched Wesley's place but did not find any one. Gunn went into the kitchen and saw two plates and two mugs I the sink.

"Well no one is here" Angel said coming out of the bedroom and over to Gunn. He looked in the sink. "This is a little odd" Angel said.

"What?" Gunn asked, turning to him.

"If he took Fred, why would he let her eat and sleep here and then take her away?" he questioned.

"Maybe it's part of his plan" Gunn lied.

"I doubt it. Something's going on" Angel said, turning back to the living room. "Come on, we're going back t the hotel.

***

When Wesley and Fred arrived at the Hotel, no one was there. Wesley knew exactly where they were and why. He settled Fred in and stayed with her. He knew Gunn and Angel would be returning soon and he better leave before they kick his ass.

"Fred, I should go" he said, satnding.

"No!" she protested. "No, just wait a little longer, I hate being here by myself and especially with Charles" she explained.

"I don't think Gunn will be alone, tonight" he said.

"You're right" Fred stated as she looked to the lobby doors and saw Angel and Gunn there. Wesley turned around.

"Wes, what is going on?" Angel asked. "Why did you kidnap Fred?" he asked.

"What?" Wesley replied comfused. "I didn't kidnap Fred" he declared. "I saved her" he said.

"What? From what?" Angel asked, walking down the steps to join themin the middles of the lobby.

"Not what, whom" he said. "I saved her from Gunn" he said.

"Is that true?" he asked Fred. She walked out form behind Wesley and nodded.

"Yeah, that's true" she said. Angel turned to talk to Gunn, when he punched him right in the jaw.

"What the hell!" Angel yelled.

"She was mine" Gunn said. "I know you liked her, but she chose me and I hated the fact that I knew, you come in and take her away. I know she belongs with you and it kills me to admit that. I love her with all my heart and I can't let her go. But I know I have to" Gunn said. Fred stared at him and walked to him slowly. She cupped his cheek and kissed him.

"I know this is hard for you, but I.I know who I belong with know. And it's Wesley" she said. "I am truly sorry. I still love you, but not they way you love me" she said. He put his head down, sat on the step. Fred backed away and walked to Wesley. "I.I love you" she said as she leaned into him and they kissed. Angel stood awkwardly in the lobby and just backed away to his room.

"I know, I love you too" Wesley said after they parted. Then Gunn stood and walked over to them.

"I'm sorry Fred. I am sorry I got so upset. I know you two will be happy. Happier than we could ever be" he said, then turned and walked out.

Fred and Wesley just smiled at each other and headed back to Wesley's apartment.

The End.
