As Angel drove to the hospital he couldn't help but repeat that fateful night in his mind. It was all his fault, all that had happened to Buffy, the woman he loved!, was because of him. How many times had he gone over it in his mind? How many trips had he made to her hospital room out of guilt as well as love?
"Someone, someone PLEASE HELP! XANDER? WILLOW? ANGEL? ANGEL! I NEED YOU!!!!" Buffy's cries filled the night as Angel was walking home from a meeting with a source. Oh, God! Buffy needed his help.
Without taking a moment to think about it he started running in the direction of the screams. Quickly he came into an alley right outside the Bronze. There he took enough time to figure out the situation.
It was bad. Two strong-looking vampires were holding Buffy. Another vampire was holding a sword over his head. Angel went on all out sprint mode, and tackled him with all of his might. But it was too late. The butt of the sword had hit Buffy's head when the vamp had been rammed to the side. Blood was dripping from the cut and bruise.
Quickly he dusted the vampire he was on top of and watched as the other two scampered away. Then he ran to her side. She was still awake, that was good right? She looked at him and he could see love in her eyes.
"Angel.....Angel, your hurt," she said. He looked down and sure enough there was a small cut on his abdomen. It wasn't that bad. He smiled at her. She smiled back and the fell unconscious. She hadn't woken up since.
But now, if what Faith said was true, Buffy was awake again. Angel would help her make up for the years she had lost. He pulled into the hospital parking lot.
Buffy was completely lost. Pretty much all she knew was that her mind was having a really weird dream. She had probably fainted from the drama of what had happened with Spike. Oh yeah, in this dream his name was Will or Willy and he was married to Faith, who denied ever being in jail. Plus Spike or Will or whoever had said stuff that Buffy could only take to mean that he thought he had never talked to her before. Damn, this dream was getting confusing!
She did understand one thing from Spike's ramble; Angel was coming. Buffy was beginning to feel that tingly feeling she got whenever she was going to see him.
"Stop it!" Buffy snapped at herself. "Maybe this is what the dream is for. Maybe it's somehow telling me that I have to move on by first showing me that Spike could move on and now letting me see my soul ma- *former* soul mate."
That's the only thing that made sense. She closed her eyes and prepared to give this dream Angel the verbal beating of a lifetime.
Willow was reading a book on Wicca when the phone rang. Not wanting to stop when she was just getting to the War of the Great Clans, she let the answering machine pick it up.
"Hello, you've reached the apartment of Oz and Willow. Sorry we missed you! If you'd like to leave a message then go ahead. If it's an emergency, Angel or Faith or William, call our cell phone. Ta!"
Hello Oz, Willow? Pick up! Listen, it's me Faith. I don't have the time or the energy to call your cell phone so don't yell when you get this late. Buffy woke up. I mean for real! She's alive but we don't know how well. Willy brought a doctor in to run some tests. His name is Doctor Finn, and trust me he's really nice. He helped out with the baby. Anyway, I hope you get this and come to visit Buffy soon. I know she'd really want to see you. Well, take care.
Willow stared at the phone for a second before jumping up and screaming for Oz. Buffy was awake! FINALLY!
Angel was almost skipping with anticipation. He almost stopped to get some flowers from the gift shop in the hospital but he couldn't wait that long. He saw her room, and saw her sitting up with her eyes closed, rubbing her temples. IT WAS TRUE! He almost burst into the room, shocking her out of her meditation. Sitting there with her long hair loose on her shoulders and her blue-green eyes seeing for the first time in six years....she was gorgeous!
Buffy's breath caught in her throat. He was so handsome, just like always. Why did he always have this affect on her? She sighed, she had to end this dream, and the only way to do that was to tell Angel once and forever that they were over. Switching to bitch mode.
"What? What do you want?" she asked with the coldest voice she could manage. Angel looked shocked and....really hurt. Her heart felt a pang but she forced it down.
"What do you mean, Buffy? Faith called me and told me you were awake. I've been waiting for this day for almost six years! I can't believe this is happening. Now maybe there's a chance for you and me."
"Angel, we've been over this. We've been over this so many damn times, I don't think I can do it again. I'll go insane if I have to tell you to leave me and mine alone one more time. Just please go back to your little corner of the world and leave my corner alone."
Now Angel didn't look shocked, he just looked confused.
"Buffy, honey. We've never had this conversation once, let alone a million times. I'm not even sure what conversation we're having. Could you please tell me what's going on?"
"Don't try the puppy dog act on me again. Listen, I will always love you with a tiny part of my heart, but no one forced you to leave after graduation but you did. You left me all alone, and I'm not going to be put through that. You never talk to me anymore. AT ALL! You never even call, it's like you've forgotten me completely. So, I'm not sure what conversation we're having either when it's soooo obvious you hate me!" she screeched.
And now Angel was mad. "What the HELL are you talking about? I LOVE YOU!" he screamed.
Buffy was shocked into silence. Finally she looked up, with tears in her eyes and whispered, "I love you too." Quickly Angel crossed the room and as there lips met Buffy almost laughed. So much for bitch mode.
