OK this chapter kinda short and all conversation but I thought that you might want to see how Xander kind of took it and a little bit of where headed next so please review. Thanks.

Buffy broke away, thinking what Spike would be like if he had saw them cuddling then again it was just a thank you hug and Spike's gone, Buffy thought to herself, sadly.

"UH…," Buffy started wincing, "Can I maybe stay a few days?" She felt bad and cheeky coming here like this and asking to stay but she really had nowhere else to go.

Angel nodded, "Sure. Stay as long as you need."

Buffy gave a weak smile, "Thanks."

Giles and Willow had told the others, including 'Faith's gang.' Xander had been pretty quiet about it but Willow thought that was mainly because of Anya, she was partly right.

Faith's initial reaction was, "Woah B skipped town huh?"

At this precise moment, Willow was in Xander's room, trying to get out of him what was wrong, after all, they'd been together for what seemed like forever.

Xander shrugged, looking away, "It's nothing, just you know everyone's going," he said, not wanting to be too honest after all, it was a kinda lame thing for why he'd been so quiet.

"You mean Anya?" Willow asked softly.

Xander nodded, "And Buffy. I mean… I know this might sound stupid or whatever but I never looked beyond Sunnydale. We spent years fighting and must have known we wouldn't always be together but if Buffy doesn't come back then that's everyone breaking apart. Buffy, Anya, god even Spike: everyone knew we well pretty much hated each other but the gang was together so long and now everything's changing," Xander said looking everywhere but at Willow, he sounded so stupid! Why did he even tell her?

"I get it," Willow said, looking straight at him, "We always expected to be together forever and stuff and now that things have changed and so quickly it just seems like everything we've known is breaking apart."

Xander gave a small smile, worried about the Buffster though, "Are we going to try find Buffy?"

Willow shrugged, "Me and Giles took a, what he'd call an 'educated guess' and guessed she'd have went to Angel's."
Xander looked at her, for about the first time today, "You think so? I mean with Spike and all?"

"It's the only person she knows around here besides her dad and she hasn't saw him for a long while. Plus, we know that Angel would actually be there for her," Willow said, feeling bad once again about what Giles and her had been saying. Even though their worries could turn out to be truth.

Xander realized that she hadn't actually answered the question. "So we going to Angel's? Is there a plan or something?"

"Well, we decided that we should leave it for maybe a week or two. She's in safe hands if she's with Angel."

"And if she's not? With Angel?" Xander prodded.

"We'll find her, she'll be OK, it's Buffy."

Xander looked at Willow as she turned to go, "How is Dawn holding up?"

He knew that she most probably hadn't token it well but he hadn't seen her since he knew all that was happening too.

Willow looked at him, "She's hating me and Giles. She's confused, upset, angry…" Willow trailed off, "I'll see you tomorrow," she said, giving a small smile, closing Xander's door.

Xander watched her go then thought about Giles mostly. He couldn't blame this on Willow, even if he wanted to. He couldn't be angry. God, she tried to destroy the world and he wasn't angry then again that wasn't really her fault but Giles?

It was no secret Xander and Spike didn't get on at times, or even at all really, but that didn't mean Xander wouldn't have been happy for her and it didn't mean he wouldn't have supported her 100.
