The sunset was wonderful. Today the typical smog of L.A. didn't hide the sun tonight. Angel was sitting on top of the hotel, thinking...
"Nice view." Buffy said, who just climbed up the stairs.
„Yeah. Nothing better than that" he said, showing to the red sky.
Buffy sat down next to him. „ Yeah, nothing better."
„How are you?" Angel asked, but this phrase didn't sound like this typical sentence you use when you don't know how to start a conversation.
Buffy looked in his eyes. „ I'm fine."
„Liar." He replied. „You've never been able to hide the truth from me."
Buffy looked at her hands, which were lying in her lap, while Angel continued. „ Something's wrong. You not okay at all. I know that. I can feel it."
Buffy jerked at this last sentence, which Spike had used once.
„Even if it would be like this I couldn't tell ya."
Angel squinted. That she was having secrets and doesn't even want to tell him what was wrong had hurt him although he hadn't expected it.
„Ok. You just have to know that you can always talk to me if you want to."
Then he stood up and went back inside. Buffy stayed at her seat, looking at the sky. She had managed to forget him for a while. For only some hours, but already this had helped her much. And now,...this one phrase had been like a shock for her. Everything came back to her mind. Her memory, everything they had gone through together...
Buffy
wiped away the tears and stood up. It wouldn't change anything if
she was crying. She got angry with herself. Why seemed everything in
her life so complicated and painful?
Tomorrow she wanted to change
her life. She wanted to find a job. And her father had called this
afternoon. So she and her sister will go to a restaurant with him.
Maybe Giles was right and he could really give them some money. One
the one hand she was too proud to accept money from her father, but
on the other hand her father really should help them. At least Dawn.
Dawn... she'll have her first day at the new high school next
week. And that would also mean an explosion of costs. New books,
clothes and so on...willow and her wanted to go shopping this weekend
anyway, but for all this Buffy needed money,...which she didn't
have at the moment. The care of the potentials had cost almost all of
her money and before she didn't even have much.
Maybe she should really try to get some money from her father until she has a job...
