I kinda always knew I'd end up your ex-girlfriend

My eyes watched Connor's back as he disappeared back out into the hallway, leaving me alone with Cordelia. Cordelia. She was like a celebrity or something, I'd heard so much about her. She was the one who gave Angel his perfect moment of happiness apparently. I thought I might be angry with her about it, but I wasn't. Mostly I was just too relieved ( Read more... )

Drugs? She's on drugs? No, she couldn't be. I mean, I think she couldn't? I watched her carefully as she talked to her sister on the phone, wondering slightly if that was code or something. Oh god, maybe she was talking to her drug dealer. Okay, slow down with the hardcore paranoia Cordelia. I looked at her oddly as she turned around and asked me for a cigarette, me? I don't smoke, hell I'm lucky if I get drunk every so often. When I do bad things happen, or when I have sex. Sex and smoking, evil.

"I-I'm sorry I don't, but I think there is a machine down in the lobby. We could go down and-" No, no going outside the room. Connor said not to leave, not to let anyone in. Wait, this is a hotel. A public dwelling, we were sitting ducks. Great. "Get some... if you want. I think I have cash." I grabbed my purse and opened it, yes I had money. I looked back up at her and saw the bruising on her throat, the fang marks. Great, yet another person for me to feel guilty about ohhh... for the rest of my life"Faith's dead. He killed her. It's my ( ... )

"No, it's okay. I don't really smoke but I figured if I were going to start, now would be the time." I offered with a slight smile when she told me we could go down to the lobby and get cigarettes. Cigarettes no, but alcohol wouldn't exactly be turned down. You couldn't deny the awkwardness of this situation. She was the one who had slept with my (ex) boyfriend and made him turn completely evil and try to kill me. And I was of course the (ex?) girlfriend. Well, if I wasn't the ex before I definitely was now. Facing Angel's evil twin was...wild. I wasn't sure I'd ever forget the feeling of his hands squeezing around my throat as he taunted Connor ( ... )

I glanced down at her as she sat on the edge of the tub, letting me clean her neck. Vampire bites are horrible, so ugly and big with the puncturing. It made my stomach turn actually, to think he bit her. Nearly killed her, Connor saved her. Connor saved me too, found me in that room. When she looked up at me I couldn't hold her gaze, I turned and rinsed the cloth out in the sink, my gaze never once hitting the mirror. I already felt guilty enough, I didn't need her eyes reminding me what I'd done. I folded the cloth neatly and set it on the side of the sink, turning to her ( ... )

Walking to the fridge my eyes widened when I saw all the stuff in there. Tons of little bottles and junk food. Where were we anyway? The freaking Hilton? I had to admit I wasn't really paying attention to the hotel when Connor had walked me here. Mostly I was pre-occupied with almost dying. Could you blame me? Anyway, now there were little bottles of please forget this horrid night right there in front of me. With a shrug I pulled a few of them out and went to sit at the chair with a small table in front of it next to the bed ( ... )

I just looked at her as she told me her story, finally someone I might be able to relate to. There was always someone trying to eat you or make you Queen. Strange attackers in the park, Angel saving girls that needed his help. I could see why he liked her, or maybe likes her. Who knows with him, and right now? Not the time to think about that. It always made me curious to meet monsters, not that she was a monster, but you know what I'm saying. It made me think less of what was going on and more of well, something else. I uncapped another bottle and read what it was before spilling it down my throat. Another good thing, if we were drunk and Angelus showed up? At least we'd be nicely numbed up ( ... )

Angel saved a lot of girls, of course he did. He was a hero and that was what heroes did. Did because currently he was evil and just finished trying to kill me. I was worried about Connor, I mean he was really strong and fast just like his dad but Angel had already gotten the best of him once. I had to assume that it was because of me. Because I was in the way, because he was using me against his son. Taking a deep breath I tried really hard to let go of that, because I didn't want to rememeber my boyfriend (ex) that way. Even if he wasn't going back to normal. I wanted to remember the times we'd lie in bed together during the mornings before he had to go to work and I had to go to class. I wanted to hang onto those times ( ... )

I let out a sigh of relief when she said the full moon was last week. Thank god for small favors, that meant I was safe. Well as safe as safe could be I guess in a hotel. I glanced at the five little bottles now resting between my legs, all empty. I glanced back up at her as she downed another, getting drunk isn't a great idea but it made things feel a lot better. Better as in numb and I felt like laughing. Oh god, was I going to turn into an alcoholic? Certainly not. At least I hoped not, because if you felt like this all the time when drunk? Numb? I would be likely to do it again. I looked at my arms, coated slightly in blood and sweat. God damned Lindsey, I'd stake him myself once I got myself back together ( ... )

A lopsided smile covered my mouth as she staggered towards the bathroom, announcing that she'd take a shower. Maybe it wasn't the best idea to let the drunk girl shower, she might slip and crack her head open or something. Oh yeah, way to be morbid Nina. Shaking my head I focused lazy eyes on her, nothing like a little bit of whiskey and almost dying for making new friends. My smile grew wider when she poked her head out of the door and asked me how I met Angel. Didn't we already cover that with the whole he saved me from a werewolf thing ( ... )

Right, right. She told me this, told me how Angel saved her when she went all wolfy. I guess the alcohol was more potent than I thought, but she played along and explained to me again. I hoped I didn't look so pathetic, I'd had a hard day. She asked about Connor and I frowned slightly, running my fingertips over the wood of the door frame. Connor was strong, and he saved Nina from Angelus. He was okay, he'd never go into something without thinking about it first. And the boy was strong, very strong. I'd seen him do things for me that defied logic, but he did them ( ... )
