Part Six

Willow woke up to hear the doorbell ringing. Whoever it was, they were really pissing her off. They were ringing the doorbell wildly. She groaned, got up, and went downstairs.

"I'm coming already!" She yelled to whom ever was ringing the doorbell so obnoxiously. It stopped. She sighed, and opened the door. She screamed louder then she knew she could. There in front of her was Xander's bloody body. She turned away, she was going to throw up if she kept staring at him. She slammed the door, and leaned on the back of it. She pulled her hair back, and let her body slide down the door. She sat there, and cried in till she felt she as if she had no more tears to cry out.

. . .

Cordelia sat on her bed, staring out the window, stake in hand. There was so much garlic in her room she felt like she was going to throw up. The walls were covered in crosses, and there were so many bottles of holly water, they almost added up to the amount of perfume bottles she had. Her CD player blared with the music of Prodigy. Xander had left it here, and she thought it might scare any vamps away. It sure as hell freaked her out, "Fire Starter", and "Smack My Bitch Up"? What was Xander's childhood trauma? Oh god, Xander. She prayed to god that for some weird reason he was still alive.

The phone rang, interrupting her thoughts. She picked it up slowly, and put the receiver to her ear.

"Hello?" She asked.

"Hi, Cordelia. Its me, Willow." Willow said on the other line.

"Oh, hi Willow. Uh, what's up?" She asked.

"I- well, I was sleeping, and the doorbell rang…I answered it, and…well, I won't go into details, but Xander is D-…he's De-. I can't say it." She said, her voice was starting to crack. "I have to go." She said, and hung up. Cordelia just held on to the phone, she was frozen, she didn't know what to do. She couldn't cry, she couldn't scream, and she couldn't move. She dropped the phone, letting it hit the floor with a bump. She laid down on the bed, and hugged her teddy bear. She stuck her face in the fur, and cried.
