Chapter 7 ' Realizing'

I walked down the stairs. After getting ready for my date with Angel.

"So why are you so dressed up?" Jenny asked me.

"I'm not dressed up." I stated. I looked down at my tank top and miniskirt. I wasn't dressed up was I? Maybe I should have worn my blue jeans. I quickly dismissed of the idea, when I heard the doorbell ring.

"Ready?" Angel asked me, when I opened the door. After seeing the grin on his face, I wasn't so sure about the whole date thing anymore.

"Ready then I will ever be." I told him. Afterwards we started walking to his car.

"Be back by midnight!" I heard Jenny yell, after I was almost at his car. I didn't reply to Jenny. I just got in the car.

"Your parents?" Angel asked, as he started the car.

"No, my aunt and uncle. My parents died in a car crash." I told him. Damn, I told him too much. Why the hell did I tell about my parents?

"Oh," he simply said. Well, I was expecting more then an 'Oh', but maybe it's better that way.

"So what about your parents?" I questioned. After what I told him, I wanted more then an 'Oh'. So it's his turn to tell his story.

"They spilt up. My father moved to New York," He said quietly. He forced his eyes on the road. Ouch, definitely shouldn't have asked. Angel looks really hurt. Wait, why do I care?

"If it helps, my father was a jerk. He messed around a lot." I told him, emphasizing a lot. Was I trying to make him fell better? God, maybe I should go to a shrink.

"But my mom never left him though. Either she loved him too much or was to scare to leave him." I told Angel. Even though I knew mom was to scared to leave him. The way he beat her I would be too. Though Angel doesn't need to know that. He knew too much as it is. I don't know why I keep telling him this stuff, it's not like he cares anyways. Maybe I really do like him. No, I don't! Get a hold of yourself, Buffy!

^Later^

"So did you like the movie?" Angel asked and putted his arms around my waist. We were walking to his car. The movie was over. Even though Angel and I made out through half of the movie. I realized I do care about him. Maybe even love him. I feel safe in him arms. He makes my past disappear.

"I had a great time." I told him. It really was the truth. Then he bent down to kiss me.

"Great, so what do say we do it again next weekend." Angel grinned. I just smiled at him and pulled in for another kiss.

^Buffy's house^

I never felt this way before I'm not sure if it's so safe to get close to him, but it's so hard not to. Then I looked at the clock.

"Damn," I cursed to myself. It was two in the morning. I didn't know how Giles and Jenny would react to me braking rules. So maybe if I'm quiet they will never know. Next the phone rang and I jumped at the noise. Shit, I picked it up. I hope I picked it up before it woke up the aliens.

"Hello?" I whispered into the phone. I kind of felt like I was in a horror movie by the way I said 'hello'.

"I'm sorry it's so late, but I need to speak with Buffy Summers." A voice came over the other line. Just my luck, what did I do this time?

"This is she." I told, whoever was on the other line.

"We need you to come down to the police station, right now. For some questioning." Then the other line went dead.

AN: Sorry, it's been SO long since I last updated. I not sure if I will be able to update soon, because I have a lot of schoolwork piled up. However if I get a lot of feedback for this chapter, I may put my work off a little longer and update sooner.

Thanks to everyone that reviewed my last chapter!
