Summary: Riley's out of the picture, Buffy's knocked out in a fight. Who's going to be there to help her recover from the fight and comfort her for the break-up? The Big Bad himself, of course.
********************
Chapter 1: Good-bye
Buffy and Riley sat on Buffy's bed at her house. Riley handed her a tissue. She had been crying for nearly half an hour. This was harder than he ever thought possible. He'd never done anything that hurt this badly.
He had never intended for their relationship to get as far as it had. He didn't want to love her or for her to love him. He really hadn't thought that she did. She had told him often enough, but he never believed her, not really, at least not for a while. But he did love her. He'd never loved anyone more, not ever. He was beginning to think he'd never love anyone like that again.
He had to leave. That way both of them could get on with their lives. He wanted to find a new job that didn't involve the government or vampires or demons. He hated his past and it haunted him. Ever since he had started working with Buffy, then they had really gotten closer. He had learned from her. He'd learned more from her in the past few months than from Maggie in years.
He shifted uncomfortably on the bed as he removed his arm from its normal place around Buffy's shoulders. Slowly he stood up, trying, unsuccessfully, to get Buffy to look at him. When she covered her eyes farther, he took her hands in his and pulled her to her feet. he tipped her chin up with his fingers and bent to kiss her softly. She didn't kiss him back. He'd known she wouldn't. It was better that way. But what came next wasn't expected at all.
*********************
Buffy was crying on her bed. She couldn't remember why. Then, she caught a glimpse of black combat boots and suddenly the past few minutes came flooding back to her. Riley had called her that morning to ask if he could come over and talk. Of course, she had said yes because she expected to spend a fun Saturday with him. When he had arrived he asked to speak to her alone. So she had led him up to her room. They had cuddled and kissed and talked, then he had turned serious.
He turned to her and said,"Buffy, I've got to be honest with you. The last few months have been great. I've never had a girlfriend that I got to know and love as much as you. But I know you don't really love me." At this Buffy protested but Riley stopped her saying,"Please. Let me finish. You may think you do, but I know better. I can't keep this up and you shouldn't have to. I'm leaving Buffy. I'm going somewhere far away. I'm not sure where yet. But I know that this is something I've got to do. I'm really gonna miss you, but I've got to go."
Buffy had just sat there and listened. It took a few minutes for his speech to sink in. And when it did, it hit her hard. She burst into tears and didn't stop until he grabbed her hands and lifted her to her feet. Then, he kissed her. He was leaving her and he was kissing her? What was wrong with him? She pulled back from him quickly. Then....
*********************
"Get out! Get out! How dare you? You think kissing me will make it all better? It won't! It'll just make it worse! I NEVER want to see you again Riley Finn! Do you understand?..... GOD!!!....GET OUT of my house AND my town!"
"Buffy please? I want to leave on good terms! Please?... Ok...Fine...I'll leave. Good-bye Buffy."
Then he walked out and got into his car and drove off. Buffy collapsed on her bed and cried herself to sleep.
