Chapter 8 'Taken everything I love away from me'

Well, I'm here. I was hoping I wasn't going to ever have to go to the police station again. Even though I had spent most of my life in one. I can't believe this is happing. What did I do and did they have to call this late. If Jenny and Giles find out I'm dead.

"Buffy Summer?" A cop asked me. When I walked to the front office. It's funny how they all look the same. I nodded when he said my name.

"We have a man that says he knows you. Just go" Buffy cut him off.

"Down the hall to the right, yeah yeah I know." I told him. He looked surprised my what I said. Is it just me or are the wall getting smaller? I wonder who the man is? Room three here I come.

"Mark?" I exclaimed. Mark was a friend of mine from my old gang in LA. I wonder what he was doing.

"You know him?" The cop that was in the room with Mark asked.

"Yeah, he's my..cousin." I lied and Mark winked at me.

"What did he do?" I asked the cop. I hope he didn't kill anyone. Maybe I can still walk out and say I got him confused as a cousin. Because I know Mark is skilled in killing people.

"Staled a pair of shoes." The cop said, making it sound like it was worst then killing someone. I wanted to laugh. Now I know why Marks here. He must have got himself caught on purpose. So it was easier to find me. Well, I have to give the guy some credit

"I will be back in ten minutes." The cop said and left the room.

"Man, I thought he was never going to leave." Mark said right when the cop left.

"Were they at least good shoes?" I asked him.

"They were green." He answered simply.

"Gross." I told him.

"So what do you need to talk to me about?" I asked Mark, getting serious again.

"Daniel sent me." Mark told me. Daniel was my boyfriend back in LA. He was the leader of the gang I was in. Right before I left I found him cheating on me with some slut. It really wasn't a surprise that he cheated on me. What I was surprised about was when I told him I was leaving he acted like him loved me and that if I left he would die. Even though I know he was putting on an act for me.

"Tell me something I don't know." I told Mark. I crossed my arms and looked at my watch. If I'm not home soon Giles and Jenny are going to be on my back forever! They problem never let me out of the house. Maybe even give me bread and water like they do in jail. I really won't be surprised. My parent's never cared about me and when I didn't something wrong that locker me in my room, but it wasn't like I couldn't get out the window. They said it was it was to 'help' me, how does locking me in my room 'help' me?

"He wants you to come back to him." Mark started and I knew this was going to be long. "He does nothing, but yelled his yell head off."

"Oh, how sad. Why should I care about him?" I asked Mark. Daniel treated me like dirty and I loved him. That was the saddest part. I couldn't leave him because I loved him. At least I thought it was love at that time.

"I know he is a dick, but he really misses you." Mark went on.

"Oh yeah sure he does. Then why didn't he come himself?" I told Mark. I bet Daniel just realized I was gone.

"He has a lot of shit to work out with the gang. If he was here he would problem have already killed the pretty boy of our." Mark spit out.

"You have been spying on me!" I yelled at him. I know right away he meant Angel when he said pretty boy.

"Really Buffy you're slipping." Mark ginned. I knew it was true, but I wanted to leave the past in the past. I just wanted to be with Angel.

"You should really let the guy down easy. You know you have broken many hearts in the past." Mark winked. I wanted to hit him, but I didn't move.

"Daniel is going to be here soon. So think you better tell the guy off before Daniel kills him." Mark ended, waiting for me to say something. I didn't say anything I just walked out of the room. I bumped into the cop on my way out.

"Don't you want us to get our cousin out?" The cop asked, me as I rushed past him.

"Hell, no." I respond, now I was running to my car. I just sat in my car taking everything in. Then I fell tear starting to fall from my eye, I was crying. I never cried. I tried to wipe then away, but they kept falling. I knew Mark wasn't going to stay there very long and when he gets out he's going to report to Daniel. I have to tell Angel it's over. I love him too much to see him get hurt because of me. Daniel had taken away everything I loved before and he's going to do it again.
