"You have to believe me Buffy, I did not intend on you finding out like this!" Angel stood before Buffy who was seated amongest the curtains of his room the sunlight shinning down on her.
There's a candle burning in the world tonight
For another child who vanished out of sight
And a heart is broken, another prayer in vain
There's a million tears that fill a sea of pain
"How about this Angel...were you ever planning on telling me you slept with Darla? Or were you hoping it would never come up?"
"Listen Buffy, I would have told you, just not here and now...besides I don't see what the big problem is...after all you've slept with other people."
"Oh don't you even say that Angel, this is SO different!!"
"Oh and exactly how is it different Buffy?"
"It's DARLA!! Does there have to be another reason?"
Sometimes I stare out my window
My thoughts all drift into space
Sometimes I wonder if there's a better place
"You aren't being fair at all Buffy...do you see me here yelling at you because you slept with Riley? It was a thing!! It matters not to me because I don't love Darla, I love you!"
Buffy opened her mouth to yell something only to not able to find anything to say. "Okay...but...why Darla?"
"It was a confusing time for me..."
"You could say that again!" The scowl disappeared off of Buffy's face as she looked out the window. "If it was that bad Angel...why didn't you come to me?"
"Because for as far as I knew you still had Riley...why would you want your ex to come crying to you about his other ex appearing?"
"Angel you aren't just and ex to me. You will never be just and ex. Sure we may be living in seperate cities but you will always carry the biggest piece of my heart. Nothing with ever change that!"
Tell me
Where do fallen angels go
I just don't know
Where do fallen angels go
They keep falling
"It wasn't that easy Buffy..."
"That's the thing Angel...It's ALWAYS that easy. You just choose to make it difficult." Buffy slid of the window sill and walked over to Angel looking deeply into his chocolate brown eyes.
Now the times is frightening
Can't ignore the facts
There's so many people
Just slippin' through the cracks
"Angel, just promise me something, like I promised you last night."
"Anything..." Angel ran his hands down Buffy's arm.
"We will try and make this work? I come here one weekend, you come to Sunnydale you know stuff like that." Buffy averted her eyes. "Cause right now I can't leave Sunnydale, not with Dawn and everything..."
"Buffy of course we will make it work...I never plan on letting you go again." Angel wrapped his arms around Buffy pulling her closly to his chest. "And I will also promise...no more secrets."
Buffy closed her eyes smiling as she leaned into Angel. "I'm sorry I yelled at you..."
"It's okay, I probably would have done the same if it was me." Kissing her forehead Angel ran is fingers lightly through her blond tresses. "When do you go back?"
Buffy opened her eyes glancing at the clock. "In about another hour, I want to get there before dark so I can get a sweep in."
Leaning down, Angel ran his finger under Buffy's chin to look into her hazel eyes before leaning down kissing her tenderly.
So many ashes are scattered
So many rivers run dry
Sometimes your Heaven is Hell and you don't know why
Buffy and Angel stood in the shadows locked into each others embrace. Buffy begrudgingly pulled away for lack of air. "I love you Angel." Buffy leaned against Angel forgetting how much she missed saying those words. No matter how many times she would say them to others, it was only to Angel she truly ment it. Angel was her salvation and her home. Nobody else could love her the way he did.
"I love you." Angel smiled as the words flowed off his lips. Never again would he leave her, no matter what the cost. "Hey..Buffy..?"
"Yeah?" Buffy pulled away and looked at him curiously.
"I have something I want you to have..."Angel walked over to a small bookshelf in the corner and pulled out a small leather bound book. Handing it to Buffy he watched the confused look spread across her features. "It's my journal. Remember I said no more secrets? Well I have been keeping this since I met you. Sometimes I talk about my past and some of the present situations." Angel rans his fingers through his hair nervously. "I'm not exactly sure why I started keeping it...I wasn't even one for journals, I think it was more because of you then anything."
So listen
Where do fallen angels go
I just don't know
Where do fallen angels go
They keep falling, falling, falling...
"Because of me?" Buffy looked up from the journal and looked up at him inquisitively.
"Because I always wanted to remember what he had. I never wanted to forget that. So I took to writing down moments in my journal so I would always have something of you. But that also lead to me writing about my past as well. Now there is one entry in there that was writen by Angelus...I'm not sure what was compelling me to write it then but..."
"It's okay Angel...I'll start reading as soon as I get home." Buffy held the journal close to her as she leaned up and kissed him lightly on the cheek. "I'll have to bring you my journal...you know the one I actually thought you did read..."
"You don't have to Buffy..."
"No I want to." Buffy smiled. "I'll have it ready next time I see you. There is actually two books now...since the first journal was started when I was still at Hemery...By the way...when is the next time we will see each other?"
"Well...as far as I know my weekend is free...I'll drive down to Sunnydale...I can stay at the mansion or whatever."
"You don't have to stay there...we have a free room at my place if you want to...that is..."
Angel smiled and ran his finger along Buffy's hairline. "Sounds great, next weekend it is."
"We can all hang out at the Bronze the whole gang, it will be like old times...This might seem awkward...but do you think Cordy would like to come?"
"Cordy...?"
"Well yeah, if we want it to be truly like old times we would need her...it wouldn't be the same. She can stay at my place too of course..."
"Well why don't we ask her..." Angel smiled placing his hand on her lower back as they made to leave the room.
Can you hear me
Can you hear me
Somewhere out there there's a shining light
And I got to be with you tonight
"So how about it?" Buffy finished. "It will be great!"
"A weekend back in Sunnydale...I don't know..."
"Come on Cordy, it will be just like old times...all of the gang hanging out at the Bronze."
"The Bronze...You're right...it would be great to see everyone again. And you said I can stay at your place?"
"Yeah you can stay in my room."
"Okay I'm in...What about Wes, and Gunn?"
"If they want to come they are more then welcome...besides gives us a chance to meet the newest Scooby." Buffy chuckled as she fumbled the book around in her hands.
"So next weekend we will all be gathered in Sunnydale again...the one place I said I never wanted to go back to." Cordelia and Buffy laughed together. "Hopefully it won't be as bad as the last time we were all together there."
"Not that I know of, I mean we aren't expecting any massacres."
"Correct me if I'm wrong Buffy...but isn't that when it normally happens?"
"You have a point."
"So? Cordy's coming with me next weekend?" Angel asked walking into the room.
"Her and whoever decides to come with you." Buffy replied. "And I'm sorry to cut out but I have to head back to Sunnydale. Call me?"
Angel wrapped his arms around her and smiled. "Of course." Angel leaned down and kissed her sofly then whisperd softly into her ear. "I love you."
"I love you too..."
"Get a room!" A male voice said as he walked into the hyperion. Buffy turned to see a young black man. "Geez Angel, you sure wasted no time with her did you?"
"Buffy, this is Gunn." Cordy said motioning toward him. "Gunn, this is Buffy. You get used to their icckyness after awhile."
"Dayyum! You actually left her...were you crazy?" Gunn said looking Buffy up and down.
"I like to think of as temporary insanity."
"Works for me." Buffy said with a chuckle. "Well I really better be going now. Nice meeting you Gunn...don't for get to ask him about next weekend." Buffy leaned up and kissed Angel again before heading out the door.
"Next weekend? What's happening next weekend?"
And with all we're nowhere
We still pay the price
Yeah the Devil seems to get his way
In downtown paradise
Buffy pulled onto her street, only to find a strange vehicle parked in her driveway. Pulling her car in next to it she killed the engine and grabbed her overnight bag and walked out and looked at the car. Looking down at the license plate she recognized it easily as a government plate. "What is it now?"
Assending the steps she walked into her house and heard Dawn talking to someone. Dropping her bag she followed the sound of her voice. "Dawn, what are you doing here you're supposed to be at...Riley?"
Where do fallen angels go

There's a candle burning...
