CHAPTER 2: Graduation 2 ep- Angel's last few minutes there, and Buffy's plans.
As Angel turned away from his love, he shed a tear or two. It was the hardest thing he ever had to do. She was his whole reason for becoming who he was at that moment. Buffy was his sunshine, his other half. But he did need to learn how to be someone without her. He wasn't the only reason she kept fighting, and she couldn't be his, even if Buffy was what had gotten him to fight in the first place.
He didn't leave school property until she had. He just stood in a dark corner, and watched her, from behind the scenes. Where he was supposed to have stayed in the first place. But one look at her and he was hooked. She became his life, he was instantly in love. Look her, who wouldn't have been?
But he knew Buffy needed a normal life, Joyce had been right. She needed some growth, some light. More then just the dark world he was forced to live in. She deserved better, Because she is better. he thought.
Angel watched as she left. He heard something about partying at the Bronze. Everyone around her thought she was okay, and to a degree she was, and he knew she would be. But he knew right now deep down she was hurting just as much as he, and that pained him. He took one more glimpse, for what he thought would be his last and turned away. Angel brooded the whole way back to the mansion. He had much to do for his move next week. A car, middle of the night plane tickets to buy, he needed to transfer his money to another bank, well several others.
LA may be his destination soon, but not yet. He too needed some space. He needed to grow up a little, see some places, he needed a break. Just as he knew Buffy would take this Summer. He needed to adjust to her not being around anymore, and he knew that would take sometime.
Slowly he began to pack. Angel knew this was gonna be hard, but should it be this hard? Of course it would be. He is leaving his home, his past, his Buffy. No, not my Buffy, he scolded himself I ended things, she is single. Free to date those who can give her what I can't. He sighed. The thought of another man being attracted to her made him ill, and then her returning the feelings mad him sick to his stomach and the thought of her being intamate with another made him and his inner demon growl. No matter what, Angel knew, Buffy's heart and soul would always be his. And at times he damned it, and others, he loved it because he to would always belong to her.
Short I know please review though!!!
