RATING: PG-13? for language.. I'm not really sure just yet.. there is
a lot of angst but also fluff.

It was almost near two a.m. when the young blonde exited the old crypt, fixing her clothing and wincing from the bite marks and scratches Spike had created on her, she sighed as she ran a hand through her hair, she'd just tell her sister she had a late night with work and a late night with patrol, she looked around when she felt a tingle along her spine, knowing that oh so familiar tingle, because that tingle came from HIM. She should have known he was there the moment she had left the Double Meat Palace hours ago to come to the graveyard and ended up being with Spike again. She closed her eyes as she leaned against a tree, trying to act as though she didn't know he was there, that maybe she was dreaming, when she knew full well that she wasn't.

The tall man stood in the shadows watching her every movement, knowing that she knew he was here but was trying to avoid him, so he stayed quiet, so that he wouldn't disturb her, although he wanted to grab her by the shoulders and shake her, ask her why Spike? why, he shook his frustration aside.

"Rough night?.." He smirked, clenching his fist from the jealousy rising inside of him, jealousy he knew he should no longer have but he couldn't help it, he had left her for normal.. not.. Spike, Spike was nothing but pure evil and darkness.

She smirked as she opened her eyes and looked towards his direction in the shadows, she could hear the jealousy and hurt in his voice once he had spoken and it pained her to know he was upset, I mean after all it was Angel's enemy, hell her enemy that she was sleeping with and she hated Spike, hated how he made her feel,

"Although its not really any of your business, yes I am having a rough night.. and what are you doing here?" She winced a bit from her back as she stood up straight, crossing her arms against her chest as she waited for an answer from him.

Biting at her lower lip as she watched him step out of the shadows toward her, "Dawn called me...she's been real worried about you and asked me to come here.." was his reply as he looked down at his ex-lover.

She tried to avoid his gaze down at her, turning her head to look over at a tombstone, it was something other then looking at him right? Buffy let out a sigh, before looking at him again.

"Wow Angel I'm glad to know you finally care enough to come see me" she replied harshly, "what it take you to finally do it? Dawn pleading you until you finally said yes? well guess what Angel I don't need you coming to MY town and acting as though you care, I can take care of things perfectly fine by myself" She turned away from him and started to walk off, she knew she was being a bit too harsh with him but just seeing him here after leaving her just a few years ago upset her.

Angel nearly growled loud enough for her to hear but wouldn't let her words get to him, he followed after her and grabbed her arm, turning her around and leaned down, his lips so close to hers Buffy gasped as Angel started to speak.

"Sleeping with Spike is taking care of things?", he shook his head as he tried to get the vision of her in Spike's arms.. in Spike's bed out of his head, "Because the Buffy I know wouldn't be sleeping with an evil dead corpse, she'd be having a normal life with her normal boyfriend."

She glared up at him and didn't move away or push away from his grasp on her arm, she could feel his grip tightening and she knew he was upset, of course he would be upset do you blame him? "the Buffy you knew died three years ago, you should have realized it the moment you said you don't want your life to be with me...but that doesn't matter now, you've certainly moved on and so have I.." She couldn't take it anymore, she needed to leave, she pulled out of his grasp and started to run off towards her house, tears streaming down her cheeks as she ran as far as she could from him.

She ran inside her house, closing the door behind her once she entered, she hoped Dawn and Willow were asleep as she quietly tried to make it up to her room, biting her lip to keep the sobs from coming and falling right in the hallway as she entered her bedroom. Quietly closing the door behind her she laid down on her bed, curling her knees as she began to cry, truth was she didn't know why she was crying except that she missed Angel and she hated herself for what she's been doing with Spike, but Spike has been there for her, maybe not in the good sense but he's been so helpful with things and yet she hated Spike for making her feel the way he does, she shook as her pain washed over her, crying herself into a deep slumber.

Angel watched her from the shadows in the tree, making sure he wouldn't be seen by the window, frowning as he watched her fall into slumber and saw the pained look on her face, he wanted to go in there and pull her into his arms, apologize for all he has done to her but he knew he shouldn't and yet he found his feet moving inside and sat beside her in the bed, reaching his hand out as he stroked her cheek with his index finger, being careful not to wake her, had she really moved on with Spike like she said she had?.. and what did she mean he moved on?.. he never has, she was his one true love and he didn't love anyone else but her. Only time will tell for more answers that he'd ask her tomorrow night, he lightly kissed her forehead with his cool lips, smiling as she let out a sigh but was still asleep. He stood and went back to the window, taking another look at her in the bed before he climbed out the window, going to the mansion.
