Chapter 5
"Hey, you're up, I was just making you breakfast before I have to leave for work," said Xander who was looking a whole lot better than her at 7am.
"You work Saturdays?" asked Buffy taking the orange juice and toast he had made for her.
"Yeah but only the mornings, I'll be back by eleven if you wanna get some lunch, I know a great new Indian place." Xander said as he grabbed his coat.
"I'd love to Xander but first I'm going to go by my old place and check out what they've done to it."
"Don't bother, they built apartments and a shopping complex over that whole block, look Buffy I really got to get to work.."
"Go, go, I'll be alright." Buffy pushed him out the door.
Buffy wandered down Revello drive, and what used to be her old block is now 'Revello Centre- the shopping experience'. Buffy felt sad because some of the happiest times of her life were spent in that house, that house meant everything to her, it was her one link to happier times, Buffy always took it for granted that even when she was dead and buried it would still be standing. Dawn must have sold it to developers when she went off to college.
The shopping centre was quite functional and with $50 in her pocket, she thought she would buy some new shoes or maybe some pants. Buffy was long past shopping in designer stores it was K-Mart all the way for her. Since she had never had a real job, she lived off other people mostly as well as the government. It was a horrible way to live she knew but the council would spot her a few bucks every now and again and well she never had much need for clothes, make-up or hair care products anymore.
Leaving the shopping centre with a whole bag full of goodies, a hairbrush, a pair of flip-flops and some underwear and it only cost her $25. Buffy was content with the world, well as much as she could be at that very moment in time. Just as she was thinking that maybe Sunnydale was where she belonged- a man bumped into her from nowhere.
"Hey watch it!" Buffy muttered and kept walking, without realising it at the time that she had dropped the hairbrush she had bought.
"Whoa, Rambo!" laughed a couple of teenage boys.
