If She Knew What She Wants: Part One
by Kelly
It had been one of those nights. He didn't know what he had done or said to make her mad, but something had ticked her off. She was angry, and when Buffy was angry, she was cruel. She had screamed at him to get out of her room and leave. She had also added, "Don't you need to feed or something?" *Ouch, that hurt.* He had tried to apologize, but she didn't listen. And he really wasn't sorry. How could you be sorry when you didn't know what you did wrong?

Everything had been going so well. After a tough start, she finally had relaxed around him, forgot about the vampire thing, and he had opened up to her. Things were great, long walks, romantic dinners, but that was all in the past. The last few months had been turbulent to say the least. It had all started one night when things got a little carried away; Buffy wanted to go further, and he had told her no. She looked shocked, upset, and hurt. He never meant to hurt her, but he didn't feel ready. He didn't think that they were ready.

But, things had never been the same. She just seemed to get colder and farther away. She never smiled or joked, and he kept away from the Bronze. They had tried to work things out, but tonight was it. It just wasn't going to work.

"What does she want?" he yelled, slamming the door. The walk hadn't helped clear his head; he was still confused and angry. Flopping on the bed, he thought, "How can I get into her head?" He wanted to get her back, but he didn't know how. Angel picked up the phone, "I have to talk to someone." But who was there? He couldn't talk to Giles, he was having his own dating problems. Besides, he seemed so out of touch with today's dating scene. Xander? That guy still hadn't given up on Buffy, he wouldn't be any help. Willow? That's it! She was Buffy's best friend; she helped him before, why not now?

Angel looked at the clock; he had just a few hours till sunrise. Hopefully, Willow wouldn't mind an early wakeup call.
