Previously on Buffy The Vampire Slayer: Spike left, Angel came back, Angel and Buffy got together, Angel proposed, Buffy said Yes, Dawn found out, got angry and went to Clem.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Only one way to find out" Clem said mysteriously. His eyes sparkled with mischief.
"One way, huh?" Dawn said, her lips curling into a devious smile. "What did you have in mind?"
"Well Spike did leave me contact details in case something bad happens..."
"Yay!" Dawn clapped her hands happily, "What do you think he'll do?"
"What will who do?" Said a voice from the shadows. Dawn turned her head so fast her neck cricked, Clem looked up in surprise.
"What will who do?" Repeated the voice walking into the light. Her arms were folded across her chest a confused look on her face.
"Buffy!" Dawn exclaimed her anger briefly forgotten. But then it came flooding back. "What are you doing here?"
"I'm taking you home. It's not safe to walk alone at night"
"I'm not coming" Dawn said defiantly. Buffy groaned and rolled her eyes. 'Patience Buffy' She reminded herself.
"Yes you are Dawn," Buffy said calmly.
"No I'm not!" Dawn insisted angrily.
"You can't stay here!"
"Says who?" Dawn regretted her words straight away. She knew she'd crossed a line. She'd brought back memories that were better left forgotten.
"Says me." Buffy said coldly. Her face expressionless but inside she was burning. With rage. With guilt. With sadness. Memories flooded back to her. Words span around Buffy's mind. Words of anger. Words of betrayal. Words of hate.
"Ug... I.... ah.... um" Dawn stuttered, and then she stood up and turned to Clem. Her eyes met his and silent words were spoken. They nodded at each other in unison. Buffy turned and walked out and Dawn followed.
Clem sighed. He had some phone calls to make.
**********************LATER THAT NIGHT************************************
Angel walked into the house and closed the door behind him. He cocked his head. It was quiet. Too quiet. Angel opened the door to the lounge, and was greeted by the sight of his fiancé huddled up on the sofa tear tracks on her cheeks. She didn't even acknowledge Angel's presence she just sat, staring at the floor, listening to Kate Winslet on the huge sound system they'd bought.
Here I stand-alone
With this weight upon my heart
And it will not go away
In my head I keep on looking back
Right back to the start
Wondering what it was that made you change
Well I tried
But I had to draw the line
And still this question keeps on spinning in my mind
What if I had never let you go
Would you be the man I used to know
If I'd stayed
If you'd tried
If we could only turn back time
But I guess we'll never know
Many roads to take
Some to joy
Some to heartache
Anyone can lose their way
And if I said that we could turn it back
Right back to the start
Would you take the chance and make the change
Do you think how it would have been sometimes
Do you pray that I'd never left your side
What if I had never let you go
Would you be the man I used to know
If I'd stayed
If you'd tried
If we could only turn back time
But I guess we'll never know
If only we could turn the hands of time
If I could take you back would you still be mine
'Coz I tried
But I had to draw the line
And still this question keep on spinning in my mind
What if I had never let you go
Would you be the man I used to know
What if I had never walked away
'Cos I still love you more than I can say
If I'd stayed
If you'd tried
If we could only turn back time
But I guess we'll never know
We'll never know.
"Buffy?" Angel asked softly as the song came to an end. Buffy flinched and looked at him.
"Hey," She said weakly, she tried to smile but it hurt to even try.
"What's wrong?" Angel asked, concerned. He hated to see her like this. He hadn't seen her like this since. Well he didn't want to thin about it. Buffy blurted out everything that had happened that night. By the end of it Angel was sitting with his arms around her.
"Is there anything I can do?" Angel whispered.
"No," Buffy replied. "I just wanna be alone." Angel took the hint and left, reluctantly. Closing the door behind him. Buffy sighed and out on another song.
Calling out your name
Your face is everywhere
I'm reaching out to you
To find that you're not there
I wake up every night
To see the state I'm in
It's like an endless fight
I never seem to win
I can't go on as long as I believe
Can't let go when I keep wondering
Where are you now, what have you found?
Where is your heart, when I'm not around?
Where are you now, you gotta let me know
Oh baby, so I can let you go
I can hear your voice
The ring of yesterday
It seems so close to me
But yet so far away
I should let it out
To save what's left of me
And close the doors of doubt
Revive my dignity
But, I can't go on as long as I believe
Can't let go when I keep wondering
Where are you now, what have you found?
Where is your heart, when I'm not around?
Where are you now, you gotta let me know
Oh baby, so I can let you go
I should let it out, it's time to let you go
Oh baby, I just want to know
Where are you now, what have you found?
Where is your heart, when I'm not around?
Where are you now, you gotta let me know
Oh baby, so I cant let you go.
