"May I help you?"
I smile sheepishly, "Uh, yeah, is Scott home?"
His mother nods and opens the door for me. "Sure, he's right upstairs." She points in the general direction of his room and gets back to the kitchen. I look around a minute and stare at Scott's house. My *God*. I've never seen a house this perfect. It's like I stepped in to the set of The Brady Bunch. I always imagined Scott would have this amazing family, with one brother and one sister and in the mornings at breakfast his dad would read the paper and his mom would cook them eggs and pancakes and whenever it was time for them to go to school she'd yell, "Have a wonderful day at school, kids!" and his father would mumble a goodbye...and *wow*, I just realized I think about Scott's family wayyyy too much.
Maybe I always thought about them because he'd never shared any information on them... not that I expected him to it's just, he never mentioned any of his siblings..ever. Or maybe I just never asked.
I travel up the stairs and turn left to find a closed door with the word 'Scott' on the front. I sigh and gather up strength. This wasn't the easiest way to break up with someone and that is exactly what I am doing. Maybe I should've just called? Or maybe I should've just...ignored him, maybe he would've gotten the message... Or maybe--
The door suddenly swings open and Scott looks at me strangly. "Buffy?" His confused face slowly changes in to a smile. "What're you doing here?"
"Uhhh..."
"Are you going to the Bronze tonight?" Scott asked.
"Uhh..."
"Because I thought maybe we could meet there around 8?"
"Uhh..."
Scott smirks and shakes his head, like he thinks my stuttering and lack of words is a joke. "I'll take that as a yes, so I'll see you there? I gotta go to work." He brushes past me and I have nothing else to do but stare at the space he was once occupying. What just happened? Anyone know? *Anyone*? ...Bueller?
I snap out of my daze and chase after him, just as he's jogging out the door. "Wait, Scott!" I blurt, running out of his house.
He pauses and turns to me. "Yeah?" Scott smiles slightly at me, and I feel terrible... how can I break up with him NOW? *Right* in front of his house? On his way to work?
"Nevermind. I'll ... see you tonight." I manage to say, as I force a weak smile. He nods and hops in to his car. Holy crap. This is a lot harder than I thought it would be.
I sigh in exasperation as he drives away, waving slightly at me. How did I actually think I would be able to break up with Scott *in his HOUSE*? I'm such a dumbass when it comes to this crap. Oh, God, now I guess I'll have to break up with him at the Bronze. This is not my day...
*
I called Willow after my disastrous time at Scott's house. She yelled at me, basically...until I told her Angel wanted to get together. Then she went silent... for, what seemed like, forever. Then she screamed, "CONGRATULATIONS!" right in my ear. I couldn't help but smile.
Now with Willow on board for the Scott break-up I feel a little better. Who knows why. I guess, just knowing my best friend is on my side makes it that much better. I haven't heard from Xander in a few days, it seems that he and his new "friend", Anya have been "getting to know one another" and by that I mean spending their time making out at the Bronze, from what I hear. Well, it's good to know *someones* getting smoochies around here. All I get to do is break up with people... maybe that's not *all* I get to do but, it seems like it lately!
It's not that I've never broken up with anyone before it's that I've never been emotionally attached with the other person. I've dated, yes, but mostly flings that last two weeks and eventually both of us agreed that it's over. I genuinely like Scott and hope the best for him. But, I can't just leave Angel behind. I've loved him my whole life. And now, I can have him, finally. Although it will maybe hurt Scott, in the long run, I'd be lying to myself if I continued dating him... letting him think my heart was his. Good thing we're not too far in our relationship that our breakup wont leave emotional scars.
Alright, I better go practice my dumping speech before I head over to the Bronze... and I'll listen to sad music to get me in the mood.
Oh God... I hope I can do this.
TBC..
Okay, I've *finally* updated. Sorry it's kind of short chapter but I've been so busy lately, it's crazy. I will get the next chapter as soon as I can! And a thanks to everyone who reviewed and keep on reviewing!! Also, another thanks to short one who nags me like a pro! Thanks ;)
