Disclaimer/Author's notes: oh, I have no clue who sings this anymore! Grrg! I wrote this a really long time ago, and I'm almost ashamed to post it, since compared to some of my other pieces, it's horrible, but I like the way I incorporated the songs, so here you go! Oh, and Joss owns the characters. I'm only holding Buffy and Angel up for ransom. If you really want them, they're free...next millennium.
Song is still in these: (...)

The telephone woke Buffy from her nap. She was trying to pay the bills, on minimum wage, with two young kids. She had been up late patrolling, and hadn't gotten to bed until 4 am. The boys woke up at 6. At the moment, they were at the park with Willow and Xander. The boys loved their aunt and uncle so much. Buffy was glad they had someone other than her; they didn't know their father, or their grandmother.
(When she picked up the telephone,
His voice came on the line.
She said: "This can't be happening,"
An' tears fell from her eyes.
She said: "What am I supposed to do?
"I can't handle losin' you.")
"There's something wrong with my flight, Buffy."
(He said: "I just had to call to say goodbye,
"One last time.)
(He said: "There are some things in this life,
"That are out of our control.")
"Angel, what are you taking about? Your scaring me!? What's going on? What's wrong?"
("Like who we fall in love with,
"And when it's time to go."
An' she said: "What about the plans we had?"
He said: "This connection's gettin' bad.
"Now c'mon baby, let me hear you smile,
"One last time.")
(She started to apologize,
For all the things that she'd done wrong.
She said: "I would have loved you better.
"If only I'd known."
He said: "You were the perfect wife:
"Promise me you'll go on with your life."
She said: "The boys won't understand."
He said: "Tell 'em Daddy loves 'em and, be strong, ooooh.")
"Angel, how can I? Why won't you tell me what's going on? Can't you fight it, whatever it is? Please! I need you!"
(He said: "Hon, I've gotta go."
She said: "Don't you dare hang up.
"There's so many things I need to say.
"I love you so much."
It was almost like she felt him leave.
She cried out: "Can you still hear me?)
"Angel?! Angel!" She screamed into the phone, her voice breaking with emotion.
(She fell down on the kitchen floor,)
she lay her head on the cold tile, sobbing, screaming into the phone that had gone dead.
(As the signal died,
As the pilot tried to pull out of the dive.
One last...)
