AN: Hey PPL Another Buffy songfic or Vidfic whatever you wanna call it. It was really hard to find a BSB song that fit Xander and Cordelia but I think Like a Child fits PLEASE REVIEW!!!! oh and I don't own anything the song belongs to Jive and BSB and the quotes belong to Joss Whedon and the people at BTVS.
If I could right
The wrongs that made you cry
Would you promise not to say goodbye
Xander: Oh, sure, they are. If it helps, whenever we're around them you and I can fight a lot.
Cordelia: You promise?
Cuz I'm holding on
With a love so strong
And I can't take a day
Without you by my side
Cordelia: I'm dating a swimmer from the Sunnydale swim team!
Buffy: You can die happy.
Girl if I could change
If I could change your mind
Maybe you could help me
Wipe these tears from my eyes'
Cordelia: You were so courageous. And you looked really hot in those Speedo's.
Girl don't stop
The sun from shining down on me
Cuz I can't face another day without your smile
And if you take away the loving arms
That surround me
Then I might break down and cry
Just like a child
Cordelia: And I want you to know that I still care about you, no matter what you look like. And... and we can still date. Or, or not. I mean... I understand if you wanna see other fish.
Girl I can't belong
And I won't be free
If I fail to bring your loving back to me
So I'm pressing on
Xander: (stops her with a gesture) Let me finish. I've been thinking a lot about us lately... the why and the wherefore. You know, once, twice, a kissy here, a kissy there. And you can chalk it all up to hormones. (Cordelia looks puzzled) A-and maybe that's all we have here. Tawdry teen lust. But maybe not. Maybe something in you sees something special inside me. (Cordelia looks down, then back up) And vice versa. I mean, I think I do. See something. So...
I hope you'll understand
There's a broken heart
That lies within your hands
Cordelia: Xander... (opens the box) Thank you. (holds up the necklace and pendant) It's beautiful. (exhales and looks at him) I wanna break up.
So if I could change
(So if I could change)
And it won't hurt your pride
(And it won't hurt your pride)
Baby you can help me stop
These tears from my cries
Xander: (looks up suddenly) Yeah! Okay... (very upset) Do you know what's a good day to break up with somebody? Any day besides Valentine's Day! I mean, what, were you running low on dramatic irony?
Cordelia: (apologetically) I know. I didn't mean to do it this way. I...
Xander: (interrupts) Well, you did.
Girl don't stop
The sun from shining down on me
Cuz I can't face another day without your smile
And if you take away the loving arms
That surround me
Then I might break down and cry
Just like a child
Xander: Look, Cordy, I want you to know that I...
Cordelia: (weakly) Xander?
Xander: (hopefully) Yeah.
Cordelia: Stay away from me.
Like a child
Just like a child
With her spirits running free
She told me why
Oh she did
Like a child oh baby
Just like a child
Machine: Hey, it's Xander. If you get this, call me.
The last part of the picture left in her hand is of Xander, and she cuts diagonally right through his face.
Machine: Hi! Xander. I, uh... Well, I'm in if you feel like calling. Bye.
Cordelia's eyes and cheeks are heavy with tears. She sighs, takes a match and strikes it. She lights Xander's part of the picture.
Machine: Hi, Cordelia. Um... If you get the chance, if we could talk, I'm here.
She drops the lit piece into the bowl and holds the match to the others. They suddenly all burst into flame. The light of the flame shows just how tired, slagged and haggard Cordelia has become.
Machine: Hey again! It's me. I'm here. Again
.
She watches as the flames consume the image of Xander.
Think of what our love could be
If our hearts could set us free
Like a child
Cordelia: Look, um, I didn't get a chance to say anything yesterday with the coronation and everything... but, um, I guess I just wanted to say thank you, all of you.
Xander: That's funny, 'cause she looks like Cordelia.
AN: Well I hope that song fits what you thought of Xander and Cordelia's relationship PLEASE REVIEW!!!!
