Angel was sitting in his office, the blinds shut and the air around him was quiet. He couldn't believe how one small girl had hurt him so much. He'd known that somewhere along the line she would get someone new and love him. He just didn't expect her to shove it in his face and trample on his heart. Love's a bitch that way. But now he knew more than anything that it was over.

" Look at him." Cordelia told Wesley.

"I believe that is your job, since you've been doing it for a few hours now. A second party really isn't going to make that much of a difference now would it?" Wesley said, trying to sort through some files.

"Well sorry, if I actually care about my friend! You know, this is just going to reflect on how you care about me and others." She told him

"Cordelia I do care about Angel, but the fact is he needs some time to just basically.......brood."

"Because Miss Princess Buffy treated him like last years Giga Pets?" Cordelia asked.

"Well actually.....yes. She was, uh, quite brutal on Angel." Wesley stammered.

" You think? She waltzed in here, because of some issues with Faith, got all jealous when SHE is the one having the big old life she's always wanted. Then to top it all off she hurts the one man who loves her more than life itself! It's just wrong!" Cordelia was half-yelling now, waving her arms dramatically.

"Cordelia, you look psychotic now."

" Yeah I know." She said calmly. " I just don't get her. Granted she was always strange, but now she's like evil. No killing-spree evil, but 'crush everyone who cares about you, and forget yourself and your life' evil."

" Either way, we should focus on Angel. The healing process will be hard. He's going to be distant for a while and most likely absorb himself in his work. Which is why we should try to figure out this Ferguson case." Wesley said flipping through a folder.

"Yeah lets leave Bitch Buffy to her followers in Sunnydale to figure out."

"Nice to know I'm liked up here." A voice said by the door. The unmistakable voice of a slayer. Buffy.

"Buffy what are you doing here?" Wesley asked her.

" I came to apologize." she told them.

" Well now really isn't a good time. And any reason you should still be

1 on our buddy list?" Cordelia asked her.

" Look, I know that I acted childish, and I just want to apologize to Angel."

" Umm Buffy I know you mean well, but right now the best thing for you to do is......" Wesley

" Leave town and never return? I hear the bus company are doing specials for heart wrenching angst causers." Cordelia informed Buffy.

" So what's Cordy been doing? Filing? Cleaning? What happened to stardom honey? The Hollywood dream?" Buffy sniped at Cordelia.

"Get out Buffy. You're not wanted here. You hurt one of my best friends. Who told you to come up here? Your shrink? Cause I know you have to much pride to actually admit that maybe, just maybe Buffy was wrong." " Girls please. Arguing is not going to help. Now Buffy I realize you would like to fix your mistakes but right now is really not the best time to do it. In a while it might seem fit." Wesley cut in.

"I'm not leaving until I do what I came here to do." Buffy said. She could feel resolve and barriers she had built up crumbling. But mostly she felt hurt. She moved towards Angel's office door but was interrupted by Wesley and Cordelia rushing to the door to block her entrance.

"Please Buffy. Not now." Wesley told her.

Then it hit her. there weren't going to let her in. Sure she could force her way in, but it wasn't worth it. They were right. She needed to just go. Now.

Silently she turned around tears forming and left. It would be a long time before she went back there.

Sighing Cordelia and Wesley relaxed after her exit. they moved to continue the work they had started. Cordelia grabbed a file and Wesley sat himself infront of the computer.

"Uh, we don't tell him about her coming do we?" Wesley asked Cordy.

"Not in the slightest."

Okay end of Daniella's possessed dream. Maybe if you're lucky I'll tell you about the one where the guys from BTVS and Angel in kilts on a hill. And of course it's a windy day. <*eg> And, yes I am having problems with Buffy. I want to smack her repeatedly.
