Lost emotion

I held her tightly as the preacher carried on with the funeral. Dawn needed my comfort more than ever right now, and I needed hers in a way. I held my head down and listened to the echos of the Preacher. I tried hard to listen to him but his words didn't comprehend with me. None of this seemed real it seemed to be more surreal than anything ( Read more... )

The ride back to Sunnydale wasn't exactly an easy one. All I could think of was Buffy and wanting to see her. When Willow called and told me about Joyce I was a something a little more than shocked. I didn't know Joyce very well, but I knew that her and Buffy got closer over the past couple of years, especially since Buffy told her about being the slayer ( ... )

It would take a while before the grass would grow, I knew that much. I wondered if it would take me that much longer before I could say goodbye. Would the grass be fully grown before I could leave her? My eyes felt like they could never leave her grave nor did I want them too for that matter ( ... )

Feeling her squeeze my hand, I looked over to her. She looked broken, hurt, confused, and then there was the grateful look that she gave me. The look that made me squeeze her hand in return.

"You came.."

"Of course, I came. When I heard about.." I looked to Joyce's grave then back to Buffy. "I knew I needed to come. I had to know how you were doing and that you'd be alright."

Turning back to the grave, I thought of my own mother. I had no idea why exactly, but I could still see her face. Then the fear on her face right before I killed her flashed through my head. Blinking, I sighed and looked back to Buffy.

"Are you doing.." Well, of course she wasn't alright, but I needed to know if she was alright given the situation. "..Alright?"

Am I ok? That I really wasn't sure about. I knew he meant well but I really wasn't up for answering that. Of course I wasn't up for answering the other million people but I did. They all wanted to make sure I was fine and for some reason I interpreted that as them wanting to be comforted.

"I'm..fine"

I knew it wasn't much but truth be told telling Angel wasn't as easy as the others. He knew me too well and I wasn't about to lie to him. Taking one last glimpse I slowly turned around and gave him a half smile.

"Angel...I'm glad you came"

I'd spend most of my time trying to say my goodbyes but I knew they wouldn't come tonight, tomorrow or even possibly for a long while. It was a lot to deal with and right now I had to be brave. I turned my head again to look at the ground. I pulled Angel closer to me..
