****I'm kind of getting turned off to posting my work, because I'm not
receiving any reviews. For those of you who do review, thank you soooo
much. But if you do read my story and don't review, please, review it. It
doesn't have to be good, I can take my lumps as well as the next man. For
those who have reviewed, I hope this goes as well as I want it to. I have
a bad tendency to lose interest in stories and leave them unfinished,
mostly due to lack of interest from others. So, I'm working hard to get
over the lack of reviews, and trying to continue being as good a writer as
I can be (which is lousy to say the least).****
Dawn Summers' Journal Entry 7-15-03
"Finally, we're finally setting a date to leave LA. Not that I really want to leave, I just don't like having indecision cloud my way. Buffy and Giles came to the conclusion that everything was set up well enough that she could head on to Cleveland and start collecting and training new slayers there on the hellmouth. She even has a home that the NEW Watcher's Council is paying for. Buffy seemed hesitant at first at the idea of working FOR the council again, even if it was ran by Giles and Wesley. But, to convince her, now Xander, Willow, and Angel are all part of the leadership. Faith and Wood are staying for sure, as is Xander. Willow is leaving with Buffy, as is, much to our surprise, Fred. Willow and Fred made the announcement the other day that they were now an actual couple. It was odd watching Willow be the aggressor in a relationship for once, but it all worked at awesome. Gunn introduced me to his girlfriend the other day as well, she was gorgeous of course, I think her name was Gwen, after being informed she was miss electric, it's hard to remember names. Lorne and Xander have struck an odd friendship, seems they compliment each others sense of humor. Lorne actually got Xander to let him read him. Lorne smiled widely and told him some of what he saw, but wouldn't tell him everything. I never knew Xander could play the guitar before, much less sing like he did. My heart melted as he sung some country song by Kenny Chesney, something about wishing he was the tin man. It was sooo sad and you could see there was something missing in his eyes as he sung. After that, we had a really serious talk, and Lorne decided that we needed a night out to get away from the hotel. Only, when we got to the restaurant Lorne had stood us up, on purpose. He left a note saying that we needed to talk. The rest of the night and then on has been one long blur of emotions."

"My God did Lorne ever set me up. Dawn and I had a real date last night. It wasn't suppose to be, it was supposed to be dinner with friends. But when we were left alone in the romantic setting, conversations turned, and soon we were holding hands over the candlelit table, eyes locked in an entrancing dance. I'm sure I could've told her I loved her in that moment, but I can't, that would just be wrong, wouldn't it? My lord Xander, she's barely eighteen and you're wanting to be with her. But even after all this thought of age and such, I still come back to the same thought, I could've told her that I loved her. I think I'm falling for her and I can't stop myself. I wake up to her every morning and want to hold her, I go to sleep at night the same way. I can tell she's in a room now by nothing more than a scent or sometimes even a vibe. She gives off such a different vibe than anyone else I've ever been around. I'm quickly becoming tangled between my convictions and my desires. Everything in me tells me this would be wrong, to be with Dawn. But, something inside me tells me that I'll never be right without her, I don't know what to do."

"Xander started to say something before he went to sleep, and then just blew it off as if he was going to say nothing. But his eyes, his eyes were telling me something. I think he feels what I'm feeling. I think I'm in love. Too bad I'm having to leave for Clevland in two weeks."

"I woke up this morning and realized, I'm going to have to ask Buffy to let Dawn stay. I can't lose her, I can't let her walk out of my life. But how do you ask someone, hey, will you leave me your little sister? God, I have to do something."
