Angel got to school on Monday and the conversation he had with that strange guy Parker was lingering in the forefront of his mind, along with the message he had gotten from Buffy. He didn't understand why she would just call it off like that, and despite Buffy telling him not to call her back, he had tried to reach her all weekend, but to no avail. Angel wandered through the halls constantly looking for Buffy, finally before sixth period he found her outside their class talking with Willow and Xander. Angel decided that it was probably best not to approach her now, with her two friends standing by her.
The bell rang and everyone filtered in. Buffy entered the classroom and found the desk farthest away from where Angel was sitting. The entire class Buffy couldn't concentrate and she couldn't keep her hands from shaking, because she knew that Angel would want to talk to her after class. All day Sunday Buffy had listened to Angel begging her to pick up the phone and talk to him. She just couldn't get the image of him and Parker talking and laughing. It was all too much for her.
Before she knew it, the final bell had rung. Buffy slowly gathered her books and things and rose to her feet only slightly mentally ready for what was about to happen. Buffy looked up and watched Angel walk toward her.
"Buffy. Can we talk?" Angel said softly.
"I guess" Buffy replied quietly. Neither moved to sit down, but they both just stood there, Buffy looking at the ground, and Angel trying to catch Buffy's eyes. "Did you want to say something to me?" Buffy said with an edge.
Angel looked at her and said, "Yes. I want to know why you won't talk to me or why you cancelled on me Saturday. Please, just tell me if I did something wrong."
Buffy finally looked up at him, "I saw you at The Espresso Pump on Saturday, who was that guy you were talking to?"
Confused Angel said, "Umm…this guy that came up to me and started talking to me. His name was Parker, he seemed like a cool guy. Why are you asking me this?"
Buffy's eyes began to fill with tears as she realized that what she thought before was true. Angel was exactly like Parker, and she wouldn't let herself go through that again. It was just too much for her to handle. "Because I needed to know whether it was true, and now I know. Look, please don't talk to me."
Angel took a step towards her, and Buffy backed away, put her arms around herself, and looked away. Angel didn't relent; he took another step and lightly took hold of her shoulders. And Buffy freaked out.
"No. Stop. Let go of me. Please let go of me." Tears were flowing freely down Buffy's face now, as she tried to get out of Angel's grasp.

Willow had been outside the classroom waiting for Buffy when she heard Buffy's pleading voice coming from the room. When she heard it she rushed into the room to see Angel still holding onto Buffy, greatly confused. "Hey! Let go of her Angel." Willow said angrily as she came to a frightened Buffy's defense. Willow got Angel to release Buffy, and Willow grabbed her and got her out of the classroom as fast as she could. Angel watched them leave very confused about what had just happened.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Willow got Buffy home quickly and safely, without asking any questions. When the two girls were secure in Buffy's room with the room shut Willow faced Buffy and asked her gently, "What happened Buffy?"
Buffy just shook her head and dried the last of her tears. "Angel's just like him. He just wanted to do to me what Parker did. It's nothing; I thought that there might be something between us, that he would be different than all the other guys. But he's not. I thought there was something, but I guess we'll never know will we. Oh well, it doesn't matter anyways. We're moving soon. To New York, where hopefully he won't be able to follow me."
Willow just sat on the bed and looked at Buffy. She didn't feel the need to press her any further. "No I guess we won't ever know." She said softly.
The End
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Well that's it. I'm mad at Angel so I made him suffer. He's being stupid on his show. Grrrrrr!! So that's the end. What did you think? Good ending, Bad ending? Tell what I did wrong. Hopefully I'll have time to start a new story! Thanx a noodle y'all!! ;) SlayerChic503
