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.
Chapter 4
Sunnydale hospital, 5 days later
Dawn was getting out of the hospital. I couldn't be more happy. Not only was Dawn doing so much better, but I will have place to stay.
Dawn is being taken out to the taxi in wheelchair. The nurse's aid helps her into the taxi cab and I sit beside her. She is weak. Dawn wil need atleast a month of bedrest. But, there is no reason why she won't make a full recovery. We drive from the hospital to the bus station. From there I help Dawn on to the bus and we are off to L.A.
I sit in the window seat and Dawn beside me. There are few people on the bus. Dawn sleeps and I look out the window. I have so much to be thankful for. I can't believe that both me and Dawn are going to have a place to stay, rent free! It won't be easy, after all, this isn't cheap. I'm not sure where I'll find work. It shouldn't be too hard, I can ride the city bus all over L.A, certainly some place is hiring. I have experience as a waitress, cashier in fast food, and motel maid. Hopefully, it will all work out.
I'm alittle nervous about living with Angel. I'm gonna be out of place. I'm used to being in charge. I'm the Slayer, and Sunnydale is my home. How will it be when I'm in Angel's home?
The bus stops at the L.A station, around 9 that night. Me and Dawn go from the bus to the taxi that will take us to Angel's hotel.
AI, around 9:30
"Buffy, Dawn, let me get your things." Cordy comes out and helps me with the bags as I take Dawn in. I need to get her into bed. We enter the lobby. I look around.
"He isn't here. He said to tell you that he will be back as soon as he can." Cordy told me, I guess she could tell that I was looking for him.
"Oh." I look down.
Cordy directs us to Dawn's room. I unpack her things as she sleeps.
"Buffy?" I turn and see Angel enter Dawn's room. The shame of it all over takes me and I turn back around and pretend to straighten Dawn's clothes.
"Umm..hey..Angel..I." I can't hold my tears back any longer. I'm tired. I've been strong for so long that I just feel like giving in and giving up.
"Buffy..."
"I'm fine. Just tired." I answer before he has a chance to finish. I dry my eyes and turn back to him.
"Well, the room next to mine, I thought that you could stay there." He is offering me so much, I feel bad.
"Thanks." I can't believe that is all I can say.
"I guess we need to talk about some things. Why don't you get cleaned up and come to my room. We can talk there, when your ready." Angel wants to talk about things. I can understand that.
"Ok." He turns to go. I lean down to kiss down and then collect my bags and head to my room.
Buffy's bathroom
Great. I think to myself. I shower doesn't work. I think back to the fight with Gregory, the one about the shower in the Sunndydale hotel, that one didn't work either.
I knock on the door that joins mine to Angel's.
He opens the door. There is a moment of silence.
"Hey, umm, the shower, it isn't working." I tell him as I look down at the floor.
"Well, use mine." I knew that he would offer that.
"Ok, I'll get my stuff." I walk back into my room and grab the things I need and walk into Angel's. I still won't look at him. I move into the bathroom, undress, and turn on the water.
Chapter 5
I finish my shower and step out. I dry my hair and put on my long bath robe. I decide to talk to Angel now.
I open the bathroom door and stand in the doorway. Angel is laying on his bed.
"Hey." He says in a quiet voice.
"Hey to you too." I walk inside the room. I stop for a second, just before I get to his bed.
"I'm just gonna go back to my room and change into my bed clothes..." As I turn to go Angel grabs me and I turn around, as he does this my robe flys open. I'm standing there with an open robe,with notting but my bra and panties on. A moment goes by.
"Don't." he states.
"Umm, I'll be back in a second. " I walk into my room and close the door. I fall to the floor crying.
