The Call
Angel awoke when he heard the lift. He thought it was Cordiela waking him, so he opened his eyes and saw that it wasn't coming down, but it was going up.
*Strange.. maybe she didn't want to wake me.* He thought.
Angel sat up and rubbed his head. He looked at his nightstand and saw an evalope titled : Angel.
*She was here.*
Angel picked up ther letter and opened it.
As soon as he finished reading it, he grabbed his rob and ran upstairs.
************
"Where is she?"
"Who?"
"Cordy, where's Buffy?"
"She just took off.. she said she wasn't feeling well."
"Well, did she say anything? I mean, besides whats in this letter?"
"She wants to make peace Angel. She's hurting really bad."
"I know that, but I'm trying to do what's best for her."
Angel took an unneeded breath and sat down.
"Well what you think is best may not be right.. what your doing is killing her."
"How do you know?"
"Have you looked into her eyes lately... except for the day that wasn't when she was thrilled you were human?"
"No."
"She is dieing.. she can't handle was you left her with."
"What did I leave her with besides and oppertunity?"
"Angel.. you left her with the hellmouth.. the forces of darkness to fight alone.."
"She has friends."
"Yeah that can't fight... listen you left her with her worst enemy, her fears, a shattered heart, and a Xander that could do something to 'make her feel better.' Angel come on... atleast be her friend."
"I know I should.. I really left her with all that?"
Cordiela nodded.
"All right. Shouls I call her or write her?"
"Call."
"I'm gonna go get dressed and eat.. you hungry?"
"No.."
Angel went back to her apartment. He opened the fridge and saw ice cream.
*Uh? Everything was supposed to be erased.*
Angel pulled it out, and pulled blood from the fridge too.
He sighed. Angel opened the ice cream and began to eat it. He couldn't really taste it, but he remembered the taste and how Buffy had licked it off his chest.
**************
Buffy walked into her moms house. Joyce was out of town for a week, and Buffy didn't want to deal with Willow right now.
As Buffy went into the kitchen the phone rang.
"Hello?"
"Helloo?"
"Okay please whoever keeps calling and hanging up stop, because stalking is out."
"Bu-Buffy."
"Angel?"
"Hi?"
"HEY! Did.. uh.. did you get my letter?"
"Yea I did that's why I'm calling."
*Oh boy here it comes.*
"It was touching Buffy. It must have taken alot to bring it down here."
"Yeah it.. I hope I didn't wake you when I came down."
"No.. just when you left."
"Sorry.."
"Don't worry about it..So umm... about the letter, I think we can be friends. And not because he don't really see eachother... I think we should."
"Really?" Buffy sounded hopeful.
"Yeah.. we do the friend thing.. talk or whatever they do."
"Friends talk, hang out, fight evil together." Angel chuckled.
"You laughed!"
"Yea.. I did."
"I guess LA is really helpin' ya uh?"
"Kinda... Cordiela is making me get 'involved' with the lost souls... but I remember when Whistler came after me.. told me not to get involved."
"So why did you?"
"Truthfully?"
"Yea."
"I saw you at Hemry... sitting on the steps when Merrick came to call you.You were 15 then and I couldn't not get involved."
"You serious?"
"Yea."
"Awe thats sweet.. you don't follow the rules for little 'lo me."
There was a slience.
"Angel?"
"Uh."
"Um.. if we're going to do the friend thing.. I'd like to see you sometime, and well.. I think it might do us both some good if we talk about our old relationship. Might help heal some old and new wounds."
"That sounds good."
"Okay.. umm one more question."
"Go ahead."
"Were you the one that keeps calling? I wouldn't be mad at you.. its just I was in a hoping they were you."
"Yea they were. I just needed to hear your voice."
"Well you can call anytime. You know that now right?"
"Yea I do.. and if you need me or just want to talk same for you."
"Okay I will.. but I got class in 15 minutes, so .."
"Alright.. talk to you later.."
"Of course."
"Bye Buffy."
"Bye Angel..You don't have to say anything back but I need to say this."
"Yea.."
"I love you."
"I love you too... now go to class."
"Bye."
With that she hung up.
Buffy smiled. *He still loves me! WOW! OH YEAH!"
****************
Angel got off the phone and was grinning, he turned to see Cordiela.
"Go well?" She asked.
"Yes it did..."
"You gonna brood alot?"
"Not if I can help it."
"So whats gonna happen?"
"We're friends.. and we're gonna do friend things.. hangout, talk, fight evil together."
"Like a relationship with no kissing."
"Right."
"Okay well come on buddy Doyle just had another vision."
Angel grabbed his coat and they left the office through the tunnels.
Yes.. everything would turn out right.. one day. Just maybe.. they still have a chance
