Dis: These aren't mine, they belong to Joss.
Spoilers: I guess after season 6 and before season 7 of Buffy. Buffy had too many bills and had to sell the house. She and Dawn moved into a motel on the edge of town.
Author's note: My stories are short and to the point. This story is apart from my other story, "A Slayer's Family". As always, tell me if this sucks so I won't waste my time.
This story is written in Buffy's POV.
Gergory kicked me out! I feel lonely and betrayed. In a mere 5 days Dawn will be getting out of the hospital, with no place to go.
AI, midnight
I walk into the hotel, the headquaters for AI. I fight back my tears. The place is nice, very upscale. Alot better than the Sunnydale motel that I have been living in. I can only hope that he allows Dawn to stay here.
"Buffy!!!" I see Cordy as she walks in and calls my name.
"Your here! Wait? Why are you here?" Cordy looks worried as she asks me what I'm doing at AI.
"I need to speak to Angel." She can tell that I'm about to cry.
"Ok sure." Cordy sits and motions for me to sit beside her in the lobby. "Angel will be in soon, around sunrise, if not sooner."
"Cordy," I begin. I tell her the whole story. I confess about selling the house, Dawn's illness, and Gregory. I'm embarrssed. Cordy seems to have her life together and I don't.
"And now I have no place to go.." I sob to her.
That is when Angel walks in. He doesn't see me.
"Cordy? Where are you? I need you to call someone for me. Could you look up the number for..." He trails when he sees me crying on the couch beside Cordy.
Empty hotel room
I cry as I tell Angel the same story as I told Cordy. I haven't asked yet if Dawn can stay here. I'm starting to have second thoughts about asking. I'm just so embarrssed that I need help.
However, it is for Dawn. I swallow my pride.
"Angel, the reason I came here is to ask if Dawn could maybe stay here. " My request comes out. Angel doesn't reply.
"I would, of course, pay for everything she needs." I bite my tongue and pray that he will agree. He still doesn't reply. "She doesn't need anything fancy, just a place to sleep. I would be here on the weekends to take care of anything else..."
He stares at me. Sometimes I think that he can see straight through me. I had stopped crying, but now I start again.
Angel walks over to me and embraces me.
"Shhh. It is ok Buffy. Dawn can stay here and so can you."
That is music to my ears.
