"So Faith, where you from?" Willow asked as the four girls sat in the mall food court.
"Boston." Faith answered shoving some fries into her mouth. She really didn't like talking about her life pre-Sunnydale.
"Wow, isn't that a total change from the west coast?" Cordelia asked as she took a bite of her salad.
"Yeah I mean in the winter I miss the snow but it's not too bad here."
"Do you have any family here?" Willow asked as she took a bite of her sweet onion chicken teriyaki sandwich from Subway.
"No, it was just my mom and me and…well…she's dead." She told them.
"Oh I'm sorry Faith…I didn't know." Willow said sadly.
"It's cool. She wasn't the best mom anyways." She said shrugging.
Suddenly a paper plane flew over the girls table and landed in Buffy's lunch.
"Eww." Cordelia squealed.
"What does it say Buffy?" Willow asked as the blonde opened up the letter.
"Let's go." Buffy said grabbing her purse.
Later that Afternoon
Apartment
Gunn sat in a chair next to Fred as he read note.
Buffy and the girls had left the mall immediately and Buffy called Gunn. The girls had spilt up and went to their respective homes.
An hour later Buffy now sat with Angel, Gunn and Fred in the living room.
"So what do you think?" Angel asked the detective.
"I think this will help you greatly." Gunn said to the blonde.
"Really?"
"Yes." He said folding it back up and handing it back to Buffy. "Give that to your lawyer." He told her.
"He's actually on his way." Angel told him.
"Good. Listen I've got to go. I've got some things I'm looking into right now that might help us. Keep me informed on what your lawyer says." He told them before standing up and leaving the apartment, Fred in tow.
Later that Night
Buffy and Angel lay on Buffy's bed. Buffy's head on Angel's bare chest. "God, I can't wait till this is all over. I just want my life back." She told him.
"I know what you mean? My office keeps calling me, wanting me to know when I'll be coming back. I've had them fax all my work here." He told her running his hand through her hair.
"I'm so sorry that this has affected you so much." She told him.
Angel turned to look at him. "It's not your fault Buffy. You didn't do this. Besides I WANT to be a part of this. I want to help you as much as I can." He told her looking into her eyes.
Buffy hugged herself closer to Angel. "I don't know what I would do with out." She told him. "Thank you."
"You never have to thank me Buffy. I'd do anything for you."
Buffy smiled up at him then laid her head back on his chest and feel asleep.
Angel watched her sleep for a while before falling asleep himself.
AN: Sorry for the shortness guys. I'm kind of struggling with some serious writers block on this story. If you guys can give me some ideas that'd be great. Thanks.
