Fat friends

Disclaimers: I don't own anything unfortunately

Buffy couldn't believe it when Angel had struck up for her earlier that day or the fact that he had called her by his version of her name rather than Elizabeth. It gave her some hope that her best friend was still there somewhere. Glancing out of the window she saw that it had began to rain and couldn't help but curse. "Did you say something Elizabeth" Mr Warwick enquired, "That was her stomach sir" Harmony informed the teacher who was trying not to laugh at the comment regardless of the fact that almost everyone else was. Angel clenched his fists so he wouldn't ay anything to the sheep.

"Liam honey, can i come around yours tonight?" Darla his girlfriend asked gracing him with her best smile.

"Sure no problem" he kissed her lightly on the lips before his gaze lingered on Buffy who was packing up at the other side of the room. Liam rushed past everyone he couldn't wait to get home to see her smiling face. Noticing Buffy walking as he passed by he was about to stop when he realised that she loved to get ill they both did before …

Flashback

"A-aa choo" he heard someone sneeze from inside the room turning to Joyce he asked "Is it ok if I go in?" Joyce nodded and allowed her daughter's best friend in to the room. Hearing a light knock on the door she began walking to it "Buffy sweetie can I come in?" another sneeze and the door flew open to reveal an ill looking Buffy "Are you alright?" she looked each side of her room before grabbing his hand and pulling him with her and in to her bed "Yea I am great" she smiled up at him leaning down he gently kissed her lips

" I missed you today" she looked directly at him biting her lip she asked

"How was it?" lifting her chin so she was looking at him again.

"Hard without you, so I la to catch your illness and stay right here in this bed with you for as long as possible. Smiling at him she kissed his cheek "I love being ill, with you here its even better".

End of flashback

Katherine O'Connor slowed down her car and saw her next-door neighbour sitting in her porch whilst the rain poured; jumping out she went to her. "Buffy, Buffy dear?" she watched as the blonde looked up at her "Come inside honey, its freezing out here" Buffy's eyes widened she couldn't go in there he would be in there. " Err no thanks Kathy" Angels mom smiled gently she was aware that something was up with the two best friends and there had been for about5 months now "I'll get Angel for you" she smiled gently at the blonde and went to call her son so she didn't notice when Buffy put her head on her knees. Getting Angel was the worst thing she could do.

"Buffy? … Buffy" he asked sitting down next to her moving her lovely blonde hair over her shoulder. "Its Elizabeth now … remember," she snapped angrily at him reaching out angel wiped away the tear n her cheek.

"Come inside, please" he offered his hand and she cautiously took it in hers and allowed him to lead her in to his house.

"Buffy dear are you coming to Angels Birthday party, because I was hoping to take your mother with me to an art show as your farther will be away and so you could stop here." She rambled "I err wasn't aware that Liam was having a party" she murmured softly Katherine watched the pain travel across her sons face when she had called him Liam she only ever did that when she was angry or upset with him. "ill call your mom sweetie"

"I was going to ask you to my birthday dinner, why don't we go upstairs and get changed in to something dryer?" Walking in to his room she waited for him "Buffy honey wheres ya mom?" Grabbing things out of cupboards and closets he passed her a load of clothes that she had obviously previously left there. He began changing however she wasn't "My mom went to the gallery I must have forgot to take my keys to school with me."

He turned to face her " why aren't ya changing ?" she looked up at him and then back at herself "I err umm I aint" she stuttered

"Baby?" he frowned waiting for her anserw.

"I err am not comfortable getting undressed in front of you" she told him

He realised what was wrong and closed his eyes in pain that he had obviously created.

"Its nothing i havent already seen" he reminded her of that fact and also himself that they were not friends anymore.

He turned to see her scowl as him before walking in to the bathroom and slamming the door angrily Sinking down against the wall Angel swipped at the lonly tear that had escaped.

"Buffy, honey your mom is here" Katherine called upstairs. The door opened and she stepped out clutching her trousers he looked up at her and wished she would smile more she was so beautiful his phone rang "Hello , Darla? err yea sure bye" he pulled himself up of the floor and watched her for a moment "Goodbye Elizabeth" he snapped at her.

"Bye Angel ...us" shuffling out the door she went to meet her mother.
