(Yeah, I'm really busy lately so this story with probably go really slow but I hope you all enjoy it!)
A shirtless, tanned, muscular Ecks turned to see Rain lock his door, slump down and started crying.
"What's wrong?" Ecks touched her shoulder.
"Connor kissed Casey." She looked small and helpless.
"Is he nuts?" Ecks hit the wall with the palm of his hand.
"No, I'm just not good enough fro him." The small slayer put her head on her knees and began to sob.
"Ecks, Rain let me in." Connor pounded on the door.
Rain looked at Ecks and shook her head no. "I'll be out in a second!" The teenage boy called back. "I won't let him see you or come in." Ecks picked up the small slayer, her tears hit his chest and it felt weird to have her so close to him. As he sat her on the bed, he gave her a friendly kiss on the forehead. "I'll be right back." Ecks opened his door closing it behind him and stepped into the hall.
I wanna go outside, in the rain,
Oh, I said I wanna, I wanna go outside, in the rain,
Cause I, I think I'm gonna cry,
Cause I, I don't want you to see me cry,
"Let me see her." Connor pushed Ecks.
"No, you hurt her, you don't deserve to see her!" Ecks pushed him and Connor hit the wall with a thud.
"What's going on?" Buffy and Spike walked out their room, which was right next to Ecks's.
"Rain is crying and Ecks won't let me talk to her." Connor glared at the teenager.
"You're the one that hurt her." Ecks started to walk towards him but Spike grabbed his arm.
"Where is she?" Buffy looked around.
"Is everything ok?" Angel and Kay walked out of their room both looking tired.
"No, Ecks won't let me talk to Rain." Connor slump against the wall.
"Not my fault you kissed Casey!" Ecks snapped.
"You did what!" All 4 grown ups yelled.
"It was a friendly kiss she was scared that I would go bad again and I was just trying to comfort her." Connor stood up in his defense.
"With you lips?" Buffy asked still shocked.
No, no, no, no.
I wanna go outside, oh I wanna go, in the rain,
it may sound crazy, but I wanna,
I wanna go outside, yes I do, in the rain,
Hear me out, Hey, hey, hey
"Luv maybe Connor didn't know any other way to comfort her." Spike tried to soothe his fiance'.
"I swear if she's up all night crying, I'll make sure you know what a slayer is!" Buffy glared.
"I don't even want to talk to you right now!" Angel growled.
"Dad, I didn't mean to hurt Rain." Connor protested.
"I don't give a vamp's ass what you weren't trying to do, what I care about is what were you trying to do?" Angel started pacing.
"Nothing, just comfort a friend." Connor was now annoyed.
"I have to agree with Buffy." Kay shook her head at Connor.
"Look, I'm tired and I told Rain I would be right back. I'll make sure she gets to sleep." Ecks pulled away from Spike and opened his door.
"No, I don't think so she's my girlfriend!" Connor grabbed his arm and threw Ecks backwards.
"Connor Michel..."Angel stopped short as Rain walked out of Ecks's room. She stared at Connor for a few seconds. Everyone just looked at her with big puffy red eyes, Rain looked at Ecks who was on the floor then back at Connor.
"Did you do that to him?" Rain squeaked trying to find her voice.
Once the rain starts falling on my face,
Then you won't to see, a single trace,
Right now I think I'm crying',
Because of you I'm dying,
Don't want you to see me cry,
Let me go, let me go, let me go,
Connor looked at Ecks then back to Rain, he nodded slowly. A smack entered the hallway Kay and Buffy turned away from the two soul mates it wasn't bearable to see Rain in such pain that she would slap Connor. Connor rubbed his cheek tears started to flow down Rain's already tear stained cheeks, which made tears slowly fall down Connor's.
"I don't...I don't believe...I can't believe you it's one thing to kiss another girl but to blame a friend of mine for you did is a whole different thing." Rain put her hands in front of her face then pulled them away. "You don't know how angry I am at you right now!"
"Rain, it was only a kiss." A voice at the end of the hallway spoke up.
"You, think you have the right to tell me that it was only a kiss! I don't mind if a girl's in his room but for you to kiss him my boyfriend you might as well called him my fiance' you've crossed a big line. One that is too hard to forgive!" Rain broke down then she just fell to the floor crying.
Everyone rushed to her except Casey and Connor; Connor still rubbed his swore cheek just staring down at Rain. He had hurt her so much that even his own dad cared about her more then him right now.
"Ecks, let's let her sleep in your room so she doesn't wake up Mac." Angel nodded as Spike picked her up and took her into the bedroom.
Ecks and Buffy followed Angel and Kay stood there in hallway. "What's going on?" Faith and Marshall walked up the stairs.
"Could you just take Casey home? We'll talk about it later." Kay walked down the hallway hoping Angel would talk to Connor.
Angel looked at his son as he rubbed the back of his neck; his vamp form was getting the best of him. "Connor I don't even know where to begin." Angel shook his head. "You...messed up bad." Angel looked into his son's eyes. "I know it's hard to accept that she doesn't want to talk to you but she's just really upset and I know she'll talk to some time soon just give her some time." Kay walked over to the two.
"Well, I think we should all get some sleep." Kay hugged Connor. "I'm sorry I don't mean to be mad at you but she's just so crushed." She kissed his forehead. "Get some sleep."
"All right." Connor sighed. He stood in the hall as his dad and Kay walked into their room. Buffy and Spike walked out of Ecks's room they both shook their heads. "I didn't meant too." Connor looked down.
Hey hey hey hey, in the rain,
I wanna go, I wanna go, I wanna go,
I wanna go outside, go outside, go outside, in the rain,
I've gotta go outside, yeah,
I've just gotta hide the tears, in the rain
"Mate, just get some sleep it'll be better in the morning." The Slayer and her vampire walked into their room.
Connor looked at the closed door in front of him, he could feel her breathing, crying, and her beating heart. That's how connected he was with her and he messed it all up by kissing another girl. Another girl who he only liked as a friend, he didn't find her more attractive then Rain, he didn't he want to kiss her but he made a mistake and let her kiss him. Look where it got him on the opposite side of the door from her. He touched the door as tears slid down his cheeks, he prayed she would forgive him. He slowly walked down the hall to his room, picking up her book as he entered he lied it down on his desk sitting down looking at the pictures of her. Her beautiful shape, skin, face, and her smile he loved her smile that's why it pained him to see her cry. As he sat there he felt angry at himself and Casey, he couldn't hold it in he swiped everything off his desk making it a loud crash thankfully nothing broke.
"Connor my baby boy don't be angry you and Rain are meant to be together you two love each other." Darla appeared behind her son.
"Mom, you scared me." Connor turned to look at her.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to I just saw you distressed." Darla bent down, picked up the picture of Rain and Connor. "You were in pain that day weren't you?" She touched his face with her soft hand.
"Anybody would have been if they had to kill an innocent, sweet, beautiful girl like her." Connor started picking up stuff that belonged on his desk.
"Don't worry baby, she still loves you." Darla helped her son. "She's just in a lot of pain." She stopped and grabbed Connor's hand. "I see you didn't waist time." Darla fondled the Claddagh ring.
"She probably took hers off and threw across the room." Connor continued with his task.
I don't want you to know, Oh, yeah
I wanna go outside, go outside, go outside, in the rain,
Can't let you see me like this,
No baby, I don't want you to know,
I don't want you to know, that I'm crying, Crying, over you,
In the rain,
"No, she didn't. Don't be too hard on yourself, it wasn't totally your fault." Darla sighed as they finished.
"Yeah, but I could of stopped it from happening." He took his hand through his hair. "I need to get some sleep though, so I'll see you later won't I?" Connor looked at his mom.
"Yes, they may give me another or maybe they'll just let me visit you." Darla hugged her baby and kissed his forehead. "I love you, now get some sleep." She disappeared.
"Love you too." Connor laid down to get some shuteye. When he finally drifted off he started to toss and turn in his bed.
A shrieking scream woke him from his nightmare only to find it beams of light coming through his blinds, he checked the clock it was 7:30 a.m. He shook his head.
"Must have been some kind of nightmare." He mumbled to himself.
"Connor, hurry up!" Mac called from outside his door.
"Maybe it was all a nightmare." Connor jumped out of bed opened his door running into Rain. "Hey Rain, how are you?"
Rain glared at him. "That's a really stupid question Connor!" She moved past him.
"Ok, so it wasn't a nightmare." Connor kicked the floor.
I don't want you to know,
Can't let you see me, I can't let you see me crying',
I wanna go outside, go outside, go outside, in the rain.
No no, no no, oh, yeah,
I gotta go, yeah,
I've gotta go,
I, I, I, I've gotta go, outside, in the rain
Baby, you wouldn't understand if I told you
(Will Rain ever talk to Connor or is this the end for their relationship? Does Darla get another chance to live again? Got to review to find out!)
