Title: True Love
Summary: AU Buffy goes away for the summer with her family and meets a sweet, nice, local guy William that shows her the town and soon they find themselves in love with each other. But, at the end of the summer, Buffy has to go back home.
Disclaimer: Don't own any of them. Well, actually I do. You know, the people that aren't from BtVS, like Becky. Meh. They belong to Joss =oP And the song "Before Your Love" belongs to Kelly Clarkson (I'm not very good with the song picking).
.:A/N:. Last chapter. I'm not good at ending things. Plus, its 10:45am and I haven't gone to bed yet, so it may be lack of sleep. But, this is the crappy ending that I am giving. Sorry people. Most likely, there will be a sequel (if anyone cares). There will be a sequel.

Buffy snuggled up to Will's bare chest. He pulled the blanket they had once used to sit upon over her shoulders to keep her warm. He kissed her forehead and placed some loose strands of hair behind her ear.
"Did I mention I love you?" Buffy asked, looking up at him.
Will laughed, "Don't think its possible for you to anymore luv."
"This is so perfect. Lying with the man I love, in a secret place after we made love. Its every girl's dream and I'm living it. I just can't believe its all going to be over tomorrow," Buffy said, a silent tear escaping.
"Don't start crying pet, please."
"Sorry, I cant help it," Buffy said. "Can we just . . . Freeze time? You know, stay in this moment forever?"
"I wish," Will said.
"Can you just hold me then? For the rest of time."
"How about a few more minutes then we go back to my place, where its warmer and less . . . Dirtier and we spend time alone. Sound good luv?"
"Very. Where are my clothes?"
~~**~~
"Druscilla," Angel said, staring in disbelief. "You're back."
"The stars, they spoke to me. William," Druscilla said.
"What do you want with him?"
"He's in love isn't he? With some other girl," Druscilla said.
"Believe it or not, he's moved on."
"But you haven't," Druscilla said, wrapping her arms around him. "Have you my luv?"
"How could I?" Angel asked.
Druscilla looked up at him and smiled before placing two fingers on his lips. Angel slid them into his mouth and when she pulled them out he bent his head down and kissed her.

Will opened the door to his house and Buffy followed him inside. They walked up the stairs to his room and Buffy sat on his bed. "What now?" she asked.
"I hold," he said, lying down beside her. She fell back into his arms, closing her eyes. "And we talk."
"About?" Buffy asked.
"Whatever you wish luv."
"Are we in love?" Buffy asked, taking his hand. "Is this what love is like?"
"When you can't stop thinking about the other? When you hate to be away from them for less than two seconds," Will said. "When your heart aches when they're in pain?"
"And more."
"I guess it is pet. Is love a good thing for you?"
"Very. And you?"
"Very very," Will said, kissing her hand that he held. "Life without you is like life without air, impossible."
"Where'd you get that, some book?" Buffy laughed, but her expression changed. "Will, do you think we'll work out? Get married, have mor- Have kids?"
"Course luv, stop worrying. Everything will work out fine. I swear to you," Will said, holding her tighter. "We'll always be together."
"What if Druscilla comes back?" Buffy asked, unexpectedly.
"H-How do you . . ."
"Your mom tends to expand more on the details. I don't want to . . . I'm just wondering. If she comes back, was I nothing more than a thing?"
"Buffy, compared to you, Druscilla means nothing. Sure, I had strong feelings for her, but that is way past over luv. She's my bloody past. You're my future."
"Good answer," Buffy smiled, kissing him.
~~**~~
"Mom, cant I stay? Just a few more . . . Lifetimes?" Buffy asked, putting her suitcase into the trunk of the car.
"I know how hard it must be for you to leave William, but you'll move on," Joyce said.
"I can't believe you," Buffy said running inside. She ran up to her room. It was bare inside, empty. She picked up her phone and dialed Will's number. They had thought it'd be easier to say goodbye the night before, instead of him having to watch her drive away. But, Buffy needed to talk to him . . .Now. "Hello? Will?"
"Buffy, are you okay?"
"Yes-No. I can't go Will. I can't leave you," Buffy said, tears starting to stream down her face. She could hear Will's shaky voice on the other end.
"B-Buffy, you have no other choice luv. Remember, it's not the end of us. We'll make it through this, we will."
"I just . . ."
"I know. I wish I could be there to wipe away your tears luv," he said, wiping away his own.
"Buffy! We're leaving!" her mother yelled from downstairs.
"You have to go," he said. "I love you so much Buffy."
"I love you too William."
"See you soon pet," he said, kissing the phone.
"Not soon enough," Buffy said as she hung up the phone. She stumbled down the stairs, slowly. Her tear stained face was hardly visible and her silent sobs couldn't be heard. She saw her mom waiting for her at the bottom of the stairs, a worried expression on her face. Buffy walked past her open arms. She didn't want the embrace of her mother; she wanted the embrace of her lover, of Will. Once she got in the car, she put her headphones on her ears and pushed play. She needed to drown the world out.
//I wonder how I ever make it through a day
How did I settle for the world in shades of gray
When you go in circles all the scenery looks the same
And you don't know why
And I looked into your eyes
Where the road stretched out in front of me
And I realized
I'd never live
Before your love
I'd never felt
Before your touch
And I'd never needed anyone
To make me feel alive
But then again,
I wasn't really livin'//
A tear silently fell from her eye as she watched the scenery pass her by. She was leaving Edmonton for the year, leaving Will.
//I'd never lived
Before your love
I'd never felt
Before your touch
I'd never needed anyone
To make me feel alive
But then again,
I wasn't really livin'//
As they passed by the beauty salon Buffy held her hand to the glass window. She could see Becky and Darla sitting inside and the thought of what lay imprinted in the desk brought more tears to her eyes.
//And I don't know why
Why the sun decides to shine
But you've breathed your love into me just in time
I'd never lived
Before your love
I'd never felt
Before your touch
I'd never needed anyone
To make me feel alive
But then again
I wasn't really livin'
I'd never lived
I'd never lived
Before!. . .//
"And we're leaving Edmonton," Hank said, in the front seat. But Buffy couldn't hear him, she didn't want to.
