Buffy walked into the school noticing two things everyone had in common that day, they were all wearing black. Even her. It was out of respect for Xander. She decided to wear black slacks with a black tank top and black heels.
She usually came to school with Angel but today she was alone. She wiped a lone tear out of her eye and walked in the direction of her locker. Today, she drove to school all alone with Mariah Carey's greatest hits blaring in the background. She cried her eyes out on the way. It was hard to believe Xander was really gone.
Buffy got to her locker and opened it. There were lots of pictures of her and Xander on the pier. And pictures of her, Cordelia, Angel, Willow, and Oz all together. And of her with each individual person. But the majority of her pictures were with Angel. There were a few of them kissing, a few of them just talking and there was the best one they had together. They were in front of the ocean and she was on his back, her arms were wrapped around his neck. They were both so happy together.
Buffy ripped down all the pictures with Angel in them and put them in a little jewelery box, that Angel gave her. She pulled all the things Angel gave her off the walls and out of the locker and threw them across the hall. She fell to her knees and started crying, because of Xander, because of Cordelia, but also because she missed Angel so much.
Someone came up to her and wrapped their arms around her. She breathed in his scent, it wasn't Angel, it was Riley. Buffy wrapped her arms around him and cryed onto his shoulder,"Why did he have to die? It's not fair!!!"She screamed and he rubbed her back, the way Angel used to.
Buffy pulled away and wiped the tears off of her face,"I'm sorry. I had a mental breakdown. It's just been a series of bad events."She laughed slightly.
"Want me to take you to the counciler?"
"No. I'm okay. I just need..."She was about to say Angel but caught herself,"Willow."She lied.
"Well, Willow stayed home today. Oz told me she couldn't handle it and needed to be alone."
"Oh. Where's--nevermind."
"Angel's coming this way."Riley told her, knowing who she wanted to see.
She tucked a piece of hair behind her ear,"I'm gonna go. Bye."She kissed him on the cheek and walked away.
The whole day was lonely. Even Riley couldn't say the right things. Angel was the only one who knew how to help her. But he couldn't because she didn't want him to. In classes, he looked at her, he tried talking to her, but she wouldn't let him.
After all the classes, Buffy was at her locker and Angel came up to her...
