Disclaimer: Joss Whedon has it, if you want my story e-mail or message me and tell me where it goes.

A/N: Second chapter of my wonderful AU. I had a specific plan for this story but it basically wrote itself.

Buffy felt horrible for what she did to Angel. Angel just started to work out a lot, and got bored of school so instead of laughing he was now the cause of laughter. His grades had dropped from B's to C's and occasional D's.

Buffy blamed herself, which was somewhat true. What she did to him pushed him over the edge.

His father and sister died recently and his Mom had been getting drunk lately. He had one hope left.

Angel and Buffy recently got their third period together. 'Great I can barely stop staring in sixth period, why me' Angel thought.

Angel somehow managed to keep his mind of Buffy at least until he got to third period. 'Let's try one more time'.

"Hey Buffy". She couldn't help but notice his newly toned muscles. "Angel, I'm sorry it was just, I really wanted him to like me". Angel tried to tell her "Buffy, Spike has already fallen head over heels for someone". "Ok" was all Buffy could say.

"Want to ditch I hate chem lab anyway". Buffy felt her insides squirm "Yeah sure".

'Ok let your mouth go wild Angel why didn't you let her know your room has sustained permanent damage from that night'

Angel and Buffy sat around talking for third hour "So, who did Spike go for" asked Buffy, surprisingly uncaring, Angel shifted "Drusilla, that sort of weird girl"

"Sort of?" Buffy said "Ok very weird girl, Buffy would you want to go out tonight, actually with me?" Angel asked hopefully.

"After what I did to you? You actually want to after that?" Angel looked serious "I would've never done that, but I'm sorry I-I think I l-love you."

Buffy stood up "Maybe I'm better off not loving you, I've made up my mind already I will be going out with myself and loving someone that comes along, namely not you"

Angel instantly became hurt "I was trying to be nice, and casual where did you get so cold". Buffy laughed "I don't really know maybe when my soul mate started dating a escaped mental patient!" "Soul mate" Angel said more to himself than Buffy "So no I will not go out with you, I'll be going out with…Riley"

Buffy walked away, leaving Angel with his fourth of a heart.

BRONZE, Later than night

Xander, Willow, Oz, and Jonathan were sitting at a table watching Buffy's night with Riley "Fish Boy" Finn.

Xander spoke first "I'm gonna speak for all of us, if it's not all of us stop me now…ok what the hell is Buffy doing with Riley?"

Oz nodded "Speaking for all of us". Willow spoke "I always thought she was going to end up with Spike". Jonathan shook his head "No she always looked at Spike, but when she looked at Angel there was something". "Because Jonathan knows all about women" Xander said "Alright next time she looks at you notice her eyes then when she looks at Angel there's a fire" Jonathan explained.

After dancing with Riley Buffy was tired "Riley I think I'm gonna go home now".

"Mind if I drive you home?"

"Always the gentleman Riley Finn"

Angel was walking to his car when he heard it "What are you doing!" He heard Buffy's voice and he took off.

Riley was walking her to the car when he pushed her to the wall and started kissing her. "Riley stop"

"It's never too soon" He said as he unzipped his pants. "I want you to suck on it"

Buffy screamed "What are you doing!" He punched her and started to push her head on to his cock. Angel came running "You bastard get the hell away from her".

Angel shoved Riley off he fell to the ground. Riley jumper up and punched Angel in the face, Angel tackled him and starts to punch him over and over. Riley slowly grabbed a lead pipe when he had it firmly in his hand he connected.

Angel heard Buffy scream for him to watch out and then there was nothing.
