Chapter 9
Well it seems that the majority liked the first choice, so we're sticking to the past. I hope everyone will enjoy this next chapter. Thank you all for reviewing and letting me know what you thought.
Note: Classes started back up for me this past week so I won't have as much time to work on this, but I will be updating. I promise I won't leave you all hanging.

"You left me."
Everyone's eyes turned to Buffy's furious face. The Slayer had, had time to process all the information she was given and now she was pissed.
Connor stepped back into the main room, watching the Slayer and his father closely.
Angel quietly looked into Buffy's eyes, simply saying, "Yes."
"Yes? That's all you have to say? You left me!" Buffy began to move towards Angel as the others moved as far from the two of them as they could. "You don't seem that surprised about it either. Do you want to leave me?"
The last was said with tears forming in her eyes, which seemed to break Angel's silence. "No. Buffy, I don't want to leave you. Ever."
"But you do."
"It looks like it. I'm not going to lie, I have thought about leaving."
"What?"
"Not because I don't love you, but because I do." Angel tried to explain.
"Oh, that makes since."
"Buffy. Our lives are different and we've already seen how hard it can be, and its only going to get harder until one of us leaves...or dies."
Buffy didn't accept that. "How can you think that? If we're together, it'll work out."
"Love's not always enough." Angel looked to the floor, unable to bear hurting her.
"Why not?" Buffy's voice had taken on that of a lost child.
"I don't know." Angel said quietly.
"Okay, sorry to break up the heartbreaking love talk but I'm still confused on the rest of the future stuff. I mean, yeah we're not all together anymore. This being senior year that was kinda being planed, but we were definitely not planning the future that's...well the future." Xander stated.
"I think it'd be best to go through it a little at a time. Find out who Connor knows and doesn't and exactly how much he can tell us about each." Wesley said, looking to Giles for agreement.
"Very well, Connor?" Giles looked over to the boy.
Connor stood watching Buffy and Angel, he felt bad for them. He didn't even know her, but he could tell her heart was hurting. And his father had the same look in his eyes. Maybe he had a lot to learn about this group.
He looked to Giles. "Okay, but I want to know about now."
They all looked at him.
"Now?" Cordelia asked, unsure what he meant.
"Yes. This time, this place, your lives."
"You want to know about our lives?" Willow looked curiously at him.
"There's a lot I don't know."
"Well, buddy we'll fill you right in." Xander smiled at the group as they all gave him uneasy glances.
This had the potential of badness for all of them.
