Angel and Buffy just stood there and stared at each other. Angel’s face turned from confused to sad almost instantly. Buffy, still trying to keep from braking down, finally decided to speak.
“Would you mind telling me what the hells going on?”
Angel looked down at the floor not really knowing what to say. After a little while of silence he finally spoke, “what do you wanna know?”
Even now Buffy didn’t know what to say. The whole way to L.A. she had thought of a million things to say but now she couldn’t think of anything at all.
“I had a dream,” Buffy started, “Only it felt more real then any other dream I’ve ever had…I know it was real.” Buffy paused for a second, and then picked up again where she left off. “The demon that attacked us the day I came here, how did you know how to kill it?”
Angel hesitated a bit and then tried to give an explanation, “I…I told you. I had a lot of time to read…” he was interrupted.
“Bull Shit!” Buffy snapped, “Why can’t you just tell me the truth Angel?”
Angel looked at her still with a confused and upset face, “I don’t understand what’s going on…the oracles said no one else would remember…this isn’t supposed to be happening.”
“So it’s true? My dream…it really happened. You were human…and we really…” she trailed off. She had tears in her eyes.
Angel looked at her with remorse in his eyes, “Yes.” It was all he could think to say.
For a while both of them just stood there, suddenly Buffy couldn’t take it anymore, she broke down and began to cry, “Why?” She said fiercely with tears coming down her checks. “How could you do this? You didn’t even think to talk to me first?”
“Buffy I…” Angel tried to explain.
“Don’t!” Buffy interrupted, “Don’t even try to make an excuse. You made a decision that effects both of us and you made it without me,” Buffy yelled.
“I made it without you because it was my decision to make,” Angel refuted. “I did what I thought was best for you and for all those people we help. I couldn’t live with myself if…if something happened to you because of me.”
“Don’t give me that Angel…we could have found another way, I’m the slayer, I always find a way around hard situations. It’s what I do! I found a way around the whole ‘no one knows but you,’ thing didn’t I? I could have found a different way. We could have done something…”
Angel just looked at her, tears still forming in her eyes. He felt so helpless. He just wanted to make sure that she would be ok. He thought that the only way that could happen was if they weren’t together. He was just trying to do the right thing but now all he wanted to do was hold her in his arms and tell her that everything would be ok.
Buffy had calmed down a little. She was still upset but she wasn’t really crying anymore. She spoke softly now, “It’s not fair. You can’t keep doing this to me. I felt everything in that dream…I remember lying with you…I remember listening to your heart beat.”
Angel’s heart was braking. He didn’t expect this to happen. He could handle the pain, but he couldn’t handle seeing her in pain, he never could.
“Buffy…I…I’m sorry. I don’t mean to hurt you, you know I never would.” Now Angel’s eyes were getting watery too. He didn’t know what else to say. He still felt that he did the right thing but seeing her again and seeing how upset she was, he almost wasn’t sure. Either way it didn’t matter. It happened, it was over, and there was nothing anyone could do about it.
They looked at each other, “So what happens now?” Buffy asked not know what else to say.
Angel, not knowing what to say either, just replied, “I’m not sure.”
