Chapter 13 'Together again and Buffy's Past'

~Angel's POV~

After Buffy hung up on me and I just stared at the phone for a while trying to figure out what just happened. Great, now I'm even worst off then I was before. At least Buffy talked to me before, now she probably won't even look at me. I've got to make this up to her, but how? Candy and flowers no she's not that kind of girl. Flowers and a puppy, it might just work.

#######################

^Buffy's House^

I was driving to Buffy's at nine I want to get their sooner, but it took me awhile to find the prefect puppy for Buffy. The puppy was a golden reverie with a pink bow around it. I was sure she would love the puppy. It looked like no one was there when I got to her house. I would have called to see if Buffy was home, but she wouldn't have picked up even if I did call.

I walked up to the front door with the flowers I had gotten Buffy in the same hand I was holding the puppy's leash. I rang the doorbell praying she was home. Then the door opened slowly. Buffy looked like she had been trying to sleep. Her hair was down and she was in cow pajamas. Right then I wanted to take her in my arms and kiss her with all the passionate I had bottled up, but instead I played cool. I have no idea what to say, figures I wouldn't have planed this out sooner. So she just stared at me for a while.

"What do you want, Angel?" Buffy asked, like she was ready to slam the door in my face. I tried to come up with some way to win her back; the puppy and flowers weren't going to be enough.

"Buffy, I'm really sorry and I know you didn't accept that on the and you won't now. It's just that I really love you and I don't want to lose you." I said once I got my voice back. She just looked at me for a while like she thought this was a dream and she would wake up any minute.

"Oh yeah, I got you flowers and a puppy." I added and she looked down at the puppy that was wagging his tail like crazy.

"You know your amazing." Buffy sighed and then a huge smile crossed her face. She bent down to pet the puppy. Amazing, that's good right?

"Come on in," Buffy said and took the puppy's leash out on my hand. Then I followed her into the house. Once Buffy let the dog run free she took the flowers I have got her and put them in water. I watch her do it all still think if theirs more I should say to her.

"So do you forgive me?" I asked once she had finished pulling the flowers in water. Buffy looked up and me and with out warning she wrapped her arms around my neck and gave me a hard kiss. It didn't take me long to respond to the kiss.

"Is that a yes?" I asked between kisses. It felt she good to have Buffy in my arms again. I never wanted to let her go.

"Maybe," Buffy mumbled again my lips and then pulled away from are tight embrace.

"Maybe," I repeated curiously and raised my left eyebrow. Maybe, what was that suppose to mean? Buffy is full of mystery, I guess that's why I love her so much.

"If you promise not to get in anymore fights then I will forgiving you." She said with a grin.

"Just forgive me? What about being my girlfriend again?" I asked her. I had to know if there was still a chance we could be together.

"I don't know your asking for a lot." Buffy stated and she didn't sound like she was joking. Then the puppy started to bark.

"Come on she wants you to be my girlfriend." I grinned. Buffy looked down at the puppy and then back at me. Then she jumped into my arms and we kissed for a while.

"You want a soda?" Buffy asked me after we stopped kissing and tried to catch our breath.

"Sure," I said and wrapped my arms around her shoulders. Then I guided her to the kitchen.

"So where's your aunt and uncle?" I questioned once I realized we were alone.

"Who knows," She said and I let her go. Buffy opened the refrigerator and I sat down at the kitchen counter and watched her open two cokes and then she handed me one.

"So are you going to tell me how you met the Daniel creep?" I asked and took a sip of my coke. Buffy had told me nothing about her past, I really knew nothing about her till she moved here.

"You want to know about my past are you sure because it's not exactly a happy one." She told me.

"Yeah, I'm sure." I was ready to hear her story. Then she walked over to me and sat on my lap.

"Well, it started back when I was in when I was little. I lived a sheltered life as the little spoiled rich girl, till high school." She started and lend into me and I kissed her neck.

"In High school when I met Daniel and being the dumb rich girl fell hopelessly in love with him. Which really was a bad idea, but back then I didn't know how bad he really was. Then I started to date Daniel, skip school, and I never came home. I joined Denial's gang back home. That wasn't a smart move either. I didn't know how bad it was till I saw Daniel kill someone." I listened closely to her story. I knew Buffy must have had a hard life before she moved here, but I didn't know it was this bad.

"I was so confused for a while if I should turn him in, but then I got scared that he was going to hurt me. It got worst, Daniel would cheat on me with random girls, he would hit me, and I became more like a gang member by the day. My parents tried to help me, talk to me, but I just shut them out. They tried getting me help and even locking me in my room none of it worked." Tears started to fall from her eyes when she mentioned her parents and I held her tighter.

" Nothing could keep me from the streets. Things started to become clean again when my parents were killed in a car crash. After they died it was like reality hit me again, I had to get out before it got worst. That's when Jenny and Giles took me in. At first I felt weird without the gang and Daniel. When I met you I realized I didn't need the gang or Daniel. Now Daniel is back and he going to ruin my new life I know he is." Buffy finished. Now I didn't want to beat the carp out of Daniel I wanted to kill him.

"Shh..... it's okay I'm here." I whispered in Buffy's ear and kissed away the tears. I stayed with Buffy most of the night comforting her tying to make things better. I promised her that I wouldn't let him ruin her life and her only response was ' it's to late.'
