Part 1 - Saying Goodbye

*---------------------*

Sunnydale - August of 1999

It's been a little more than 2 months after the mayor's failed acenstion, the sun is just peeking over the horizon and the first rays of light begin to stream into the bedroom of the golden haired slayer. She rolled over and looked at the clock and groaned 'God I must have only slept like 2 hours last night' Buffy cringed at the loud shrill of the telephone breaking her from her muddled musings.

"Hello...Buffy?" The voice at the other end sounded unsure, as if it was a danger to call her. Though she was still in a sleep filled haze Buffy would know that voice anywhere. With only the slightes hesitation she answered "Angel..." She trailed off unsure as to why her Angel... 'No not my Angel anymore' she thought "Um...so what is it you needed, not that I'm not glad to hear from you but..." Leaving the rest un-said.

"Well I know that you're...um leaving tomorrow and...uh, well...Oh I thought it would be easier if I did it this way. Look I just wanted to say goodbye." The was a long pause before either spoke, Buffy expressionless face gave way to a frown and was the first to break the silence. "So that's it, no goodbye, not good luck...I mean I don't even get a see ya 'round Buffy!"

After taking a breath and trying to calm her emotions.

"Goodbye Angel" in nothing more than a whisper

After a moment or so a click could be heard at the other end of the phone and the soft beeping of a disconnected signal.

Buffy inhaled a sharp breath, finally realizing the reality of it all.

Angel didn't want her anymore.

As a lone tear trailed down her face she sighed softly. She then hung up the phone and as the cordless slipped through her fingers she fell back against the pillows and cried.

She cried for the loss of her love, her friends, her watcher and the comfort they all at one time or another offered her.

Though now she had no doubts, she was going to New York and she was going to enjoy and make the most of it!
