Chapter One: If you believe
* I'm thinking of you
In my sleepless solitude tonight
If it's wrong to love you
Then my heart just won't let me be right
Cos I've drowned in you
And I won't pull through
Without you by my side *
Angel just sat in his room brooding, just as he had been doing for the past three weeks since he had found out of Buffy's death. How had it happened? He had come home from Pylea, glad to be back, and at just one look at her best friends' face, his world collapsed.
*It's Buffy*
Willow had left as soon as telling Angel the news. He couldn't blame her. It was all his fault that Buffy had died, and she knew it. She didn't deserve to die. If anyone did, it should've been him. If only he had been there. If only he could have been there to stop Glory. If only...
* I'd give my all to have just one more night with you
I'd risk my life to feel your body next to mine
And I can't go on living in the memory of our song
I'd give my all for your love tonight *
"Angel? Are you okay?" Cordelia had changed a lot over the years. She even started to care about him. But nobody had ever cared for him more than Buffy. "Do you want to talk?"
"No Cordy. I'm fine." His voice felt dry and raspy and sounded hoarse. Nothing in his entire existence had ever felt this bad. Nothing. 'I don't know if I can take much more of this.'

"This isn't fair! Buffy was so brave and saved the world how many times, and yet she still dies!" Willow had been saying the same thing over and over for the past three hours. You couldn't tell by looking, but really Willow was voicing out everyone's opinions. The Scoobies had really tried their best to move on, but no matter how hard they tried, the pain of Buffy's death still haunted them. But for Dawn it was worse. She had lost everyone dear to her. First her dad, then her mom, and now her sister. There was no-one left.
*Live, for me*
She had tried, so hard. But even though she tried to keep busy, she would never forget her older sister. "Angel," she whispered. Such a simple sentence, but with so much meaning behind it. "Will! Angel!"
"What about him Dawnie? We already told him about...uh...you know."
"Can I see him?"
"Go to LA? Oh Dawnie, I don't..."
"It would help! I know it would. Buffy would like it if we all tried to keep in touch. Plus, I'm sure we could help Angel too."
"Giles? Xander? What do you think? Should we?" The two until now had both been very quiet, which was very unusual. Especially for Xander.
"See Deadboy? Gee I dunno. I mean come on, after everything he..."
"Xander," Giles said firmly, "I think it would be a good idea. For all of us. And we could also see how things are holding up in Los Angeles. I am also quite eager to see Wesley. I hear he has acquired quite a collection"
"Figures he'd think of the books," Xander mumbled, but it did not go unnoticed, and he received a glare for his troubles. Dawn and Willow were obviously psyched and the thought of going to LA.
"So LA it is!" Dawn cried. For the first time in weeks, she wore a smile on her face. She had faith they would all help each other overcome the pain that was killing them on the inside. She knew it would. It had to.
