A/N: I'm sorry that the first chapter was so short, but I will make this one much longer. Please review! ^_^ Also, I'm not positive he neccessarily died, but think about it. Think about the expression on his face as he lay on the ground with the blood trickling down his neck. I don't know about you, but he looked pretty dead to me... however I do hope I'm wrong. And yes it would be a hassle trying to bring him back on the TV show, but what if he wasn't to come back? Anyways, I'm just going to continue with my fic even if we find out he didn't die. Though we'll have to wait until April 15. Please review!!!!



"Angel! Angel you have to come out sometime!" Cordelia called. She had returned to L.A. as soon as she had heard that Wesley had died and Connor had disappeared into another dimension.

"Please Angel! It wasn't your fault!" Cordelia tried again after getting no response from him.

"Connor was my responsibility, he was my son. Wesley was my friend. A traiterous evil friend, but still a friend," Angel spoke up. Cordy could hear the tears in his voice.

"No, it was Holtz' and Justine's fault. Not yours." Angel emerged with a stone set face.

"You're right. And Lilah was the one who was in league with that demon who opened that dimension that Connor and Holtz dove into." Cordy smiled, thinking she had finally gotten through to him. "Lilah and Justine," he continued, "deserve to die."


"You can't just waltz in and kill them!" Cordy exclaimed.

"Can and will."

"Angel, you're not thinking about this rationally. I mean we're the only one's who know he's dead. We need to tell the Buffy crew, and I think Faith deserves to know. He was her watcher," Cordelia said.

Angel threw her against the wall.

"Don't talk about Buffy. She can't come here, there's been too much loss already," Angel said, voice shaking.

"I-I'm sorry," Cordy said, frightened. "Just go and tell Faith, ok? Even though she hated him, she still should know." Angel nodded.

"Ok, but whatever you do, don't call Buffy or Giles to tell them. They can find out eventually, but not now. Do you understand?" Cordy nodded, still afraid of Angel.



"Faith."

"Long time no see," Faith said.

"Kill anyone recently?" Angel said.

"Tried to," she said.

"Faith, I'm not here on pleasure. I came to tell you..." Angel started, but couldn't finish. It was just too hard. Tears began to pour out of his eyes. Faith sat down, shocked. Angel crying... She knew something horrible must have happened.

"Angel?" she asked tentively.

"Wesley h-he died."


"Didn't Angel insist that you didn't call them?" Gunn asked Cordy.

"Yes. See this is why we need Wesley! He has to be here to stop me from doing these stupid things!"

"When are they coming?" Fred asked.

"Tomorrow, before dawn so they can see Angel."

"More importantly, who's coming?" Gunn asked.

"Buffy, Giles, Willow, Dawn, and Xander," Cordy said.

"It's just so hard, being without Wesley," Fred said.

"I know. And Angel's taking it the hardest. But with Buffy here he'll be ok. Buffy can make everything better.


A/N: Ok, I know it wasn't THAT long, but I do have another fic going on called Falling (not a crossover, just Buffy) so I won't be updating as frequently. But PLEASE review. More reviews, more updates. ^_^
