Immortal Beloved Chapter 8

Breaking Up Is Hard To Do

Cordy's face fell as she saw Buffy, Willow and Xander walk in. She moved her body back behind the pillar hoping that they would not see her. Her face pale and eyes wide as she looked nervously at Amanda.

Amanda looked at her confusion was written all over her face. "What's wrong?" She asked.

Cordy shook her head, placing a finger to her lip and indicating for her to be quiet Amanda nodded knowing that she would find out what this was about sooner or later.

Buffy, Xander and Willow sat on the other side of the pillar and started to talk.

"So do you think Angel's getting better?" Willow asked softly.

"I think he is getting better, we are talking about so many things, a lot about Cordelia I was amazed how close they became." Buffy replied.

Cordy opened her mouth, but shut it quickly biting of any reply that would have come out and glared at the pillar wishing that the stare could go right through it and too them but she had promised Methos and Duncan that she would stay out of their way for the next 6 months and with everything that had happened she was not sure what to say.

"She changed a lot from what I saw and heard." Willow tried to explain and Xander snorted.

Cordy wanted to grab him and ring his neck and slap him around. She shook her head in annoyance.

"But I think that this is good for Angel and I." Buffy said her voice lifting.

Amanda reached out and grabbed hold of one of Cordy's hands and squeeze she could see her new friend pale at the one small sentence.

"Buff you kidding." Xander asked her.

"No I mean it we talk more, we talk about feelings and thoughts. We are actual friends and add that to what we meant and I think still mean to each other this could work it really could."

"What about Spike?" Willow asked softly.

"It's always been Angel you know that we were supposed to be together but we had to grow." The blonde said her voice now full of excitement.

Cordy's eyes teared up, she knew Angel loved her but would it ever been enough, would he had ever loved her as much as he did Buffy she didn't think so. One single tear fell from her eye and rolled down her cheek, her heart breaking into a million years.

Cordy and Amanda sat their holding hands and in silence until the Scooby gang left. It was only and hour but it felt like an eternity and the seer was starting to feel claustrophobic and all she wanted to do was run away and to keep going. Amanda paid the bill but kept her eyes on the young immortal.

"Come on. Let's go" The thief said. "They guys will be worried about us."

Cordy nodded and followed Amanda quietly. "I thought that he, that we." She waved her arms.

"Maybe he does, maybe she is wrong." The old immortal watched her carefully.

"You don't understand that is Buffy Summers the first and true love, soul mates." The brunette said with a sniff as she wiped the tears away.

"And you Cordelia Chase fight for him."

"Amanda I have just become immortal and I am a demon seer, oh and have an immortal after my head. Which some of it has happened recently I have to concentrate on keeping my head that is all I can do at the moment?"

Amanda nodded in agreement. "Fine and the three of us will help you."

She reached over and pulled Cordy into a hug. "Thanks Amanda what would I do without you guys."

"You'd loose your head, literally." And with that they both walked back home laughing but Cordy had lost something, she had lost her heart and a piece of her soul maybe in centuries to come she would get them back. But as she said to her friend she had to keep focused her training now was the most important thing.
