Part 9
Present Day- the morning after
"Wherever you go Whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes
Or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you"
*Oh god, I wish I could tell him how much he means to me.*
Cordelia finally walked out of Xander's room, after more than six hours alone with him she looked a little tired but had obviously slept well in that room *With Xander* Buffy had no right to Xander she knew that and Cordy had been his girlfriend before he had left and there was no way that he could be hers.
She turned and left the building heading to her dorm, She didn't want to be there when Cordelia and Xander started getting all mushy, she didn't think she could stand that if they did. It had been over fourteen months but everything that she had done was still fresh in her mind
"How could you, You knew and you let me kill him, you bastard!"
"Stop, Wait..." he was pleading for his life and their friendshuip- she had not realised at the time that was the only time he was willing to keep it.
"You want to know why? 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."
She had finally come to terms with the loss of two of the only men she loved and now the second of them had reappeared only a few months after the last one had gone for the last time. She didn't know if she could keep handling it her life was going to ruins and she had only just started college.
"Hey Buffy"
She looked up and saw the man she had hit with the book yesterday. What was his name.
"Riley, in case you don't remember."
"Oh right yes hello Riley." *Oh god I sound like a moron*
*Inbred country Hick* Said a Xander voice in her mind as it did so she fought a winning battle against a snigger and a grin.
"I was wondering if..."
"I'm sorry Uhh Riley but I've got to get back to my dorm room, can we do this later."
"Sure, I heard you collapsed at the dorm yesterday. It's just as well that Alex and his friends were there."
"You know Xan.. er I mean Alex and his friends."
"Yeah he's in one of the psych classes the same one as you I think. Why what's the problem. Hey where are you going."
Buffy had started to run to her dorm even faster than she had been earlier, she opened the door and slammed it shut. Collapsing against it she slid down on her back until her knees were level with her chest and she stayed there.
*No, he hates me and now we're in the same class and he hates me. What am I going to do. I can't do this.*
She stayed there and again broke down and cried.
Back at the hospital.
"OK Mister Harris, you seem to be OK, you are free to go, all I can say is keep an eye on yourself it seems your amnesia is breaking down, maybe being in your home town has helped just make sure you are not alone for the next few days."
"Don't worry Doc he won't be." Cordelia giggled into Xander's ear. He smiled at that.
"You heard the lady Doc. I won't be anyway I'm at the university I don't think I'm on my own there for any length of time."
"OK I'd like you back here in a few days for a check up but for now you're all clear.
"Thanks Doc."
"And call me Ben"
Both groups left the hospital and made their way back to the University, Cordelia hanging off of Xander's arm and the other couples even Steven and Amy seemed to be getting it on.
A few minutes went past with small talk and anecdotes, Alex covering his face as a few were directed at him. Cordelia and Gabrielle were talking as well every so often bringing their hands up as if measuring something, Stacy came into the conversation doing the same thing while Robbie, John and Alex were talking football or some such. John Was informing the Two other guys of the wonders of his favourite teams in the UK including the infamous Tottenham Hotspur. Every so often they heard something the girls said and cringed in emnbarressment.
"Alexander Harris?"
Alex looked up into the blue eyes of an attractive young woman about the same age as the groups.
"Uh Hi.. My name's Leelee Finn. I was asked by my cousin to get you to see Professor Walsh as soon as possible she needs to talk to you about you partial credit for teaching the psych class."
"OK Thanks Leelee. No offense are you really related to Riley"
"My pleasure." She said looking him up and down. "and no not really I'm adopted."
With that she left- leaving a little pissed off Cordelia.
"She does that again I'll rip her tongue out and nail it to a fence."
The guys looked at each other knowing what was coming *Hell Hath no fury like a woman's scorn.*
"Hey Cordelia lighten up I'm not interested OK."
"I am." replied Chip.
"You'd bang anything on two legs and some on more." Replied John
"Hey!!" Chip replied.
With that the group went their separate ways except for Amy and Steve who had disappeared a few minutes before.
Strangely enough everyone had forgotten about a certain Blonde Haired slayer of their acquaintance, no-one had given her a second thought as they all focused on the one man that they had given up for lost- Alexander Harris
