Chapter Five: The Dinner From Hell: Part 2

Cordelia looked up at the sound of new voices, and when she saw her boyfriend getting all cozy with little old me, she snapped. "What the hell are you doing with her?" we heard Cordelia yell, causing me and Angel to look up. We both stopped simultaneously and looked at Cordelia, shocked.

"C-Cordelia, w-what are you doing here?" Angel stuttered out surprised.

"What I can't visit my boyfriend?" she asked, glaring at me when she stated 'my boyfriend' harshly. She acts like I don't know they're going out, I mean my god I'm not a complete idiot.

"I didn't mean that, I'm just surprised, I didn't know you were coming over," he explained, "Did you tell me?"

"No, I didn't tell you, I didn't know I would catch you with Bitchy Summers," Cordelia replied still glaring at me.

"Hey!" I yelled angrily and walking down the rest of the stairs so I was standing in front of Cordelia, "Do not call me a bitch! If I remember correctly you're the one who has the bitch track record! So back off! And Angel probably didn't even know I was going to be here, I usually get out of these stupid dinners, but now I'm grounded because of fucking math, and I was dragged here anyway!" I yelled. My mother and Mark had walked from the kitched to see what the commotion was about, and everyone was staring at me shocked. I couldn't believe I had done that either, so I don't blame them. Cordelia looked more pissed then shocked though.

"This probably just your way to try to steal him away from me you little bitch!" Cordelia yelled taking a step towards me so she was towering over me. Even though I was short, she wasn't doing much to scare me.

"For your information, Cordelia, you're the one that stole him from me!" I yelled stating what I thought was the obvious. I was now furious, how could she accuse me of that? Of all people her!

"Oh, and how exactly did I do that Fluffy?" she asked in a calm manor, but her inner-bitch was really seeping through.

"If you remember correctly, I was best friends with him for years, up until last year when you decided you were the only on that could be close to him!" I yelled getting into her face and whispering, "You just couldn't stand that I was closer to him then you could ever be." Angel was standing back still stunned.

"I've already been closer to him then you ever were," she whispered back.

"Oh yeah, and how is that?" I asked. But then it clicked, what she was talking about and I really didn't want to hear this.

"Why do you think he left your side so quickly and never looked back?" she asked, an evil spark in her eye. "I offered him sex and popularity, the two things you could never give him, why you wouldn't want to I don't know, but you didn't."

I heard a gasp escape from my mother and Kathy, and I turned around to look at Angel, eyes wide. He was shocked, again, but not because of me, it was because of what Cordelia said. And it kind of made sense. I was always confused on why he left me for Cordelia, but now it made sense in a sick sort of way. I narrowed my eyes in a cold glare and stared at him, then turned on my heel and fled from the house, slamming the door behind me. I didn't want to be in that house anymore, I didn't know where I was going to go. Then it hit me, Willow and Xander were probably still at the Bronze! I heard the door open and close from Angel's house, followed by footsteps following me quickly.

"Buffy!" I heard Angel yell from behind me. I turned around and saw him start to jog towards me.

"Leave me alone," I bit out. Turning back around, I started to run as best as I could down the sidewalk

"Buffy! Just let me explain!" he yelled again. Finally catching up, he grabbed hold of my wrist, forcing me to turn around.

"Explain what! That you left you best friend, best friend since we were born I might add, because you could be popular and have sex with Cordelia! There is no way you can explain that Angelus!" I yelled at him, spitting out his name. Wrenching my wrist from his grip, I turned and continued walking down the street towards the Bronze. This time I didn't hear any footsteps coming towards me, but there weren't any going into the other direction either. Apparently I had shocked Angel for the third time this evening.

TBC…

I know, it was kind of short, but what do you think? And thanks for the reviews!
