Angel drove like a manic down the highway towards Sunnydale. He only had two thoughts 'find buffy' 'make buffy feel better'. As he drove past the 'Welcome to Sunnydale' sign he looked around noticing that hardly anything had changed. He remembered all the times he and Buffy had spent roaming the streets enjoying each other's company, and kicked himself for losing her. As he pulled onto the familiar Revello Drive he began to feel nervous about seeing her again, it had been so long.
Pulling into the driveway he walked up to the door, knocked and waited. Joyce pulled open the door with a grim sad look on her face, 'as expected I guess'.
"Hi Angel come in." She motioned at the door. Angel stepped in looking around slowly, some new furniture, but nothing dramatically changed.
"Does she know I'm here?" He asked. Knowing the answer already.
"No, you need to go see her, she's in her room." Joyce answered moving into the kitchen, leaving Angel to Buffy.
As he climbed the stairs he felt uneasy and well..alittle scared. He knocked softly on the door, waiting for an answer.
"Go away Angel." He heard the soft reply from the room. He stepped into the dark room, his eyes scanning the room for her.
"How did you know it was me?" He wondered.
"You stomp up the stairs and your knock is the same." She replied saucily.
He walked over to the bed looking down at her, noticing her hair was alittle longer and she looked so much more mature. He sat down next to her.
"Are you okay love?" He asked softly.
He saw a tear slide down her cheek, one of many more he figured.
"I missed you Angel, and now Dawns gone, I don't think I can take much more." She shook slightly as she started to cry. Angel instinctively moved to her wrapping his arms around her. He just held her as she cried, feeling her relax in his arms, they both drifted off to sleep.
It's gonna be love
It's gonna be great
It's gonna be more than I can take
It's gonna be free
It's gonna be real
They woke up the same way in the morning, both enjoying each other's company. They had both missed each other so much, and so many things had happened and they were different people. Not the same inseparable Buffy and Angel. They had so much to catch up on. Angel felt Buffy turn over and look at him, they stayed that way for a few minutes before she finally spoke.
"I really missed you Angel."
"I know love I missed you too, I regret everyday I didn't call you, and if I could go back I wouldn't have left in the first place." He said. She smiled a bit at that.
"Yes you would've."
" When's the funeral?" He inquired softly
"Later today, gods Angel I don't think I can go." She replied.
"We'll both go, it'll be okay. What was your mom telling me about how you're not eating or sleeping or even speaking?"
"I don't know Angel, I guess I just think that, if Dawn can't do anything anymore than why should I? She was my baby sister Angel, I don't think I can live here with out her." She spoke after a few minutes.
"Come on, we should get ready." Angel said, thinking about what she said.
