Title: Lonely No More
Chapter 12- Calm After the Storm
Author: Static-disturbed...you can call me Static for short
Summary- yea most of the big angst is gone! I admit I like angst but not too much. Sorry for the major lack of updates but I was sick & out of school for three days and had to do tons of makeup work plus I was having a bit of writers log. This chapter is kind of just about Angel getting back to normal life after his breakdown (my cousin called it his Mariah Carey moment) anyway enjoy. Feedback keeps me healthy. Oh and in this Angel actually wins a fight! Song is 'A new Chapter' by Whippersnapper.
Disclaimer- Characters are not mine. Joss and Mutant Enemy own them I just like to borrow them and become the puppet master for a minute or two! Ha ha ha ha ha. Oh boy I got carried away again...they aren't mine that's all. The song is called "A new Chapter" by a band called 'Whippersnapper'. I don't own any of their records but I'm going to go buy one.
Its time, its time to clean this slate And push our way past anger into something new and honest. To shoulder the weight, find our own way It's easier than you might think. We've heard the same excuses for too long. Is anybody listening? Did you notice that there's something missing? Or do you even care? If you're willing to try, you're willing to change It's easier than you might think. To find your own voice, sing your own song. Find our own voice, find our own way, find the strength The strength to change, sing our own song, stand alone. Its time to break away and push our way past anger into something new and hopeful. If you're willing to try, you're willing to change To shoulder the weight and find our own way. Find our own voice; sing our own song. Find our own voice, find our own way, find the strength The strength to change, sing our own song, stand alone. The time has come to turn the page to stand alone and find a way. Changing still feel the same
'A New Chapter' by Whippersnapper
He had Buffy's hand grasped tightly in his as they made their ways through the crowded hallway. Even though Angel knew none of them knew what had happened the night before he felt like everyone's eyes were on him. He felt vulnerable. He'd felt many things in his life but vulnerability was new. The night before after he had broke down all over Buffy they had just lain together in her bed and she had reassured him that everything was going to be okay. He had had an epiphany of sorts, lying there with her. Suddenly it was like his eyes were open for the first time. The world wasn't out to get him, maybe it seemed like that but it wasn't. Sure he had a bad life but he had Buffy. And she loved him. And that was reason enough to live. But that didn't make the anger or vulnerability go away.
"William's gonna ask questions" she whispered from beside him. He nodded
"I'll tell him when the time is right" Angel whispered back. Buffy smiled and rested her head on Angel's shoulder.
As they approached Angel's locker they saw William there waiting wit an anxious look on his face. He started towards them as soon as he saw them
"Where did you go yesterday?" he asked Angel
"I was having a bad day Will. I went home" he lied "Sorry I blew up at you yesterday and all"
"It's okay man," William said but he could tell Angel was lying. They had only been best friends forever. Angel put a few books in his locker and they started towards class. Angel looked around him. This was all he needed. He didn't need his stupid ass father, he didn't need his mother, he didn't need money or to be popular. This was all he needed. His girlfriend and his best friend.
"Hey Buffy I thought we were gonna get ice cream" a new voice said. All three of them turned and saw Riley standing there. Angel didn't know why they wore those dumb Varsity jackets. They looked stupid.
"No fish-boy you asked me and I said no" Buffy said matter of factly
"Look Buffy I'm just trying to save you from this...piece of garbage" he said gesturing at Angel who stepped forward. He got in Riley's face and whispered
"Come near her again and you'll have to eat ice-cream...cause you won't have any teeth"
"Oh yea? Who's gonna knock out my teeth?"
"Me" Angel said before punching Riley square in the jaw. The football player fell to the ground and several people tried to help him up but he angrily swatted them away and stood on his own. He went at Angel but Angel grabbed his shirt and slammed him against a locker. He was open to hit him but he pulled his hands away and let the quarterback slide down to the ground
"You know what you're not even worth it" he walked back over to Bufy and Spike and everyone watched the three retreating forms.
