Chapter 3
The next morning, Dawn came in. She saw Buffy, Pride, Willow, and Xander all asleep in the living room. She then walked over to Buffy and woke her.
"Buffy," Dawn said, "where is Drew?"
Buffy looked at Dawn and sat up. "Dawn," She started, "Drew had to leave, but he will be back. He promised he would."
"What?!" Dawn shouted. "He left without telling me?"
"Dawn listen," Buffy said, "he had to leave as soon as possible to go fight some powerful evil." With that, the others woke up, and they looked to see what was going on.
Dawn began crying but ran up to her room so that the others wouldn't see her. Willow went after her, but Buffy stopped her.
"I know what she is going through," Buffy said. "Let me talk to her."
Buffy walked up the stairs and came to Dawn's room. She knocked on the door and heard Dawn yell "Go Away". Buffy barged through the door and Dawn sat up and looked at Buffy with burning anger in her eyes.
"What do you want?" Dawn asked with anger.
"Dawn, listen," Buffy started, "I of all people know what it's like for the one you love to leave without saying good-bye."
Dawn looked at her. "What do you mean?" She asked.
Buffy then told Dawn about how after she had killed the mayor once because` he had become a demon. She then reminded her that Angel left for L.A. and never said good-bye.
"Dawn," Buffy said, "Drew at least left you something."
Dawn looked at her with curious eyes. Buffy then handed her the locket. Dawn stared at if for a moment. She then opened it and saw the picture. Tears began to form in her eyes. Then she finally read the inscription on the back and the tears began falling. Buffy put her arms around Dawn and held her for a few minutes.
After about ten minutes, both of them went downstairs and ate some breakfast. Around Dawn's neck hung the locket Drew had left for her. Every day she hoped he would come back. She waited for three long years. Several guys had even asked her out. Each time she said no because her love for Drew was still strong. Pride told her to give up, but Dawn refused to listen to her. She waited for the faithful day that Drew would return to her so they could be together again.
