Life And Death After Highschool: The Time Has Come to Say Goodbye
by Buffy Anne Harris
Cordelia Chase had driven by Buffy's house and the bronze she wasn't even sure why but she felt like she had to say goodbye to them. She pulled up to the curb out front of the apartment complex were Giles lived, it was the only place left to look that she could think of. Unless they were still hanging out in the library even though it was rubble. She thought but knew better. She turned off the engine of her car. Her father had lost his. And Cordy was forced to sell hers in order to afford this one and the trip she was about to take. It was beat up. And not something she wanted to be seen driving. But at least it would get her were she was going. Well she hoped it would any way.

She looked out the car window at the door to the apartment, "Well here goes." She said to herself as she opened the car door and headed for the apartment. She stood at the door she was about to knock when she heard Willow inside saying something.

Cordelia leaned her ear against the door so she could hear better. "Giles, I found something. Something big. Really big," Willow stated. Cordelia heard footsteps and figured Giles must have rushed over to her to see what she had found. There was no reply from Giles and Cordy leaned closer to the door.

Finally Giles replied, "I need to get this to the hospital and Buffy now. Willow and Oz, you take Joyce home. I'll call you after I talk to Buffy." Giles directed them. This was a break. He just hoped it wasn't too late.

Cordelia was about to move form the door but was caught by what Willow said next, "Giles. Make sure to find out how Xander is. I mean other then the one call that we got from Buffy we don't know much.." she trailed off a bit then added. "Make sure to tells us if he's gonna be alright." Cordelia was shocked and a bit hurt no one had called her. No one had told her. True she and Xander had ended on bad terms but Willow sounded really worried, which had to mean he was hurt and in the hospital. And none of them had bothered to tell her. And from the sound of things they were getting ready to face some big evil. And apparently all her help in high school was no longer welcome.

She heard them coming to the door and quickly ran back to her car. Slouching down she peaked a bit and watched them all come out. She started her car hoping they wouldn't notice her and she pulled away from the curb and drove away down the street.
