Wes, Fred, Gunn, Justine, Lorne, Ciara, and Conner stood back in silent shock as they watched Cordy storm over to Angel and slap him across the face. Buffy stood behind them with a small smile playing on her lips.

Angel jerked backwards when Cordy slapped him. She put a lot of power into that slap.

"You lying son of a bitch." They heard her say to him.

"Cor, please, let's talk about this." He begged. He hated himself for the pain she was in and the tears falling down her cheeks because he knew that he was the cause of it all.

"Talk, you want to talk? It's way to late for that buddy."

"It's not what it looked like."

"It sure the hell looked like you were kissing her but my mistake, you must have been giving her CPR while standing."

"Her? Her who?" Gunn asked

"I think Buffy." Wes whispered

"He kissed Buffy?" Justine whispered

"Shhh." Fred said

"She kissed me first."

"Did you kiss her back?" Angel was silent. "Don't lie to me because I have just about enough of your lies." She screamed at him

"Lies, what the hell are you talking about?"

"Don't play dumb and act like you don't know what I'm talking about.'

"The kiss…"

"Part of it is the kiss. You lied when you didn't tell me about it. I was awake last night when you came in from your suckfest with Buf, but you didn't tell me. This morning I asked you what went on last night and again you didn't tell me."

"I should of told you but it didn't mean anything to me and I didn't want to hurt you." Angel reached out and tried to take her hand but she slapped it away.

"Well, that didn't work out so well for you did it dumbass, cause in case you can't tell I'm hurting." She spat at him

"I'm so sorry."

"You sure the hell are."

"Cordelia, please, I love you." Angel said with tears in his eyes

"You have a funny way of showing it with all of your lies and secrets."

"I don't keep secrets from you."

"Oh so the secret phone calls and visits to Sunnydale to see Buffy, must of just slipped your mind huh?"

Angel turned his head and glared at Buffy who was still standing in the back of the room smiling smugly.

"During the visits I was just checking on a friend."

"If that's all it was why didn't you tell me?"

"I… I…I don't know." He was drowning and he knew it.

"You make me sick." She turned away from him and he grabbed her arm. "Don't touch me." Angel quickly dropped her arm

"Cordy, I can fix this."

"You can't fix this Angel. I trusted you with my heart and you broke it into a million pieces."

"Cor…" She held up her hand to stop him from saying anything else.

"I don't want to hear any more of your pathetic excuses. It's over."

"Over?"

"Yes Angel, we are over. Finished."

"No, it's not over. We can't be over."

"That's what happens when you lie, cheat, and keep secrets from the woman that you claim to love."

"No, I won't let you walk away."

"You don't have a choice, you brought this on yourself."

"Cordy, you misunderstood what happened."

"Give it up. I hate you Angel."

"No, you don't."

Cordy looked Angel right in the eyes. He saw sadness, fear and anger through the tears that were still falling from her eyes. "I hate you." She said softly.

They stared at each other for a few agonizing minutes. Finally Cordy tore her brown eyes away from his and ran up the stairs to their room. Once she was gone Angel walked over to Buffy, grabbed her by the elbow and drug her into his office.

"What the hell were thinking?" Angel snapped at her.

"I didn't tell her about the kiss, she must have seen us." Buffy replied

"So you had to rub salt in her wound by telling her about the phone calls and the visits to Sunnydale that you didn't even know about."

"I thought that she should know what was really going with you."

"You have no idea what is going on with me."

"I know that you still love me."

"Bullshit."

"It's true and I'm going to prove it to you." Buffy said as she grabbed Angel's shirt and pulled him towards her for a kiss.

--

"I can't believe that Angel kissed Buffy." Fred said as soon as Angel's office door closed

"It's understandable. They have a history." Wes explained

"It doesn't make sense. He loves Cordy." Ciara said softly.

"He may be a vampire but he is still a man." Justine said

"I don't trust Buffy. I agree with Ciara, he really does love Cordy." Lorne said

"This is such shit." Connor snapped. Ciara came over to him and put her arms around him. "I can't believe that he did this to Cordy."

"There has got to be a logical explanation." She whispered

Connor looked through the window of Angel's office and saw his father and Buffy kissing. His eyes flashed with anger.

"There's an explanation all right, just not a logical one." He said as he stormed in to Angel's office.

"God dammit dad, what the hell is wrong with you?" Connor snapped and Buffy and Angel pulled apart.

"Connor get out. I'm not talking about this with you right now." Angel said

"How could you dad?"

"Connor out, NOW." Angel roared and Connor walked out of the office, slamming the door behind him.

"Are you happy now, you have ruined my life. My friends probably hate me, my son hates me and Cordy and I may never recover."

"I didn't ruin anything Angel. I just brought to the surface what you buried deep down which is your true feelings for me."

"After we kill these vamps tonight, I want you gone. Gone from my hotel, my city and my life."

"You don't tell me what to do. I'll leave when I'm damn good and ready."

"Jesus Buffy, and you thought Cordy was selfish. You are worse then she ever was."

Angel walked out of his office, leaving Buffy standing there, staring after him.

"Angel, we need to get going. It's already past sundown." Wesley said softly

"I know what time it is. I have to talk to her." Angel replied as he walked right past his friends upstairs to his room. He turned the doorknob, but it didn't move. She had locked the door. He briefly considered breaking it down, but he thought that if he did, she would be waiting on the other side with a stake, and he was right.

"Cor, can I come in." He asked as he knocked on the door.

"No." Came the reply from the other side of the door.

"Please baby, I need to talk to you."

"Go away."

"Don't shut me out. Please talk to me."

"I can't. Not now."

"Look the vamps, I have to go."

"Then go."

"I will be back to fix this. I promise."

"You can't fix this."

"I love you Cordelia." He said softly. She didn't respond. He slowly walked away. He was halfway down the hall when he heard the door open.

"Be careful Angel." Cordy said. Before he could react she shut the door.

"Let's get to work." Angel said when he returned to the lobby. His friends slowly followed him out of the door.

--

Cordy shut the door behind her. She may have been mad as hell at him, but she didn't want him to get hurt and she was worried that something bad might happen. He was never at the top of his game when he had stuff on his mind and he definitely had stuff on his mind today.

Sighing Cordy went back to packing. She couldn't stay here anymore. She had made a couple of phone calls and found out that her old apartment just happened to be vacant. Her ghost Dennis must he giving the tenants a hard time because she was told that the apartment was vacant more than it was occupied. After she arranged her living arrangements, she put a phone call into Willow to get the un-invite spell that they used when they were in high school when Angelus was terrorizing Sunnydale.

"Cordy, can I come in?" Ciara said as she knocked on the locked door.

"Is he with you?" She asked

"No, they are all gone. I'm the only one here." Cordy unlocked the door and Ciara stepped in. Her eyes got wide as she noticed the suitcases around the room. "Are you leaving?"

"I have to Ce. I can't stay here with him."

"Well, what about another room?"

"No, I need to be away from him to sort out my feelings."

"What about Catherine?"

"She's coming with me."

"You're taking her away from her father?"

"I would never keep Catherine away from Angel. He can see her whenever he wants."

Tears fell from Ciara's eyes. Cordy took her into her arms. "Please, don't leave me Cordy."

"I'm not leaving you. I'm leaving Angel. You'll still see me, I do have a job here and your wedding is coming up. Nothing will change between us. I promise.

After Ciara calmed down, she agreed to watch Catherine while she took the bags to her car. An hour later the car was all packed and Cordy was waiting in the lobby. She wasn't leaving until tomorrow morning but she couldn't sleep until she knew that everyone was safe.

--

Cordy woke up from her deep sleep when she felt Angel's hand running down her face. She quickly jumped off the couch into a standing position and out of pure reflex she wrapped her arms around his neck.

"I'm so glad that you're ok." As his arms tightened around her and when she saw Buffy standing behind him, her anger returned. She quickly pulled herself away.

"Cor?" Angel asked hopefully.

"I was just waiting to make sure that everyone was ok, and now that I see that everyone is good, I'm going to bed. You…" She said looking at Angel "can sleep anywhere but in my bed. You can sleep with Buffy if you want. I don't really give a shit."

Cordy left everyone standing in shock as she headed back upstairs to her room and cried herself to sleep. The group quietly dispersed to their respective homes or rooms. Exhausted, Angel sat on the couch in the lobby and held his head in his hands. Buffy sat next to him.

"Go away." He snapped

"We should act on Cordy's idea and sleep together."

"Get the hell away from me." He said as he stomped to his office, slammed and locked the door and that's where he spent the night.

--

Angel was woken up the next morning by voices coming from the lobby. He saw Cordy standing in the middle of the lobby with Catherine giving and receiving hugs from their friends.

"Daddy." Catherine squealed as she ran over to him when he came out of his office.

"Chipmunk." His daughter continued her infant babbling. "What's going on?"

"Going bye bye." Catherine answered and Angel looked at Cordy, his eyes full of questions.

"Angel, Catherine and I are leaving."

"No, Cor, you can't go."

"I need to. I can't be around you. I'm too angry. It's not a good environment for our daughter.

"You can stay here. I'll move to another room." He pleaded as Catherine walked back over to her mother and took her hand.

"I'm sorry, Angel."

"Where are you going?"

"Back to my old apartment, you can see Catherine whenever you want and when I return to work in a few days, I will bring her with me. Catherine, baby, tell daddy bye." Cordy said as she walked to the door.

"Bye daddy."

"Tell him you love him."

"Wuv you."

"I won't let you go." He yelled as Cordy opened the door.

"I'd love to see you try and stop me, outside in the sunlight." She said as she walked into the light of day and there was nothing that Angel could do as the two people he loved most in the world, walk out of his life.
