My Demon Departure

Explanations

We pull into my apartment parking lot.

"Wait where are you staying?" I ask.

"With you?" he asks giving me the puppy dog face.

I hesitate and sigh "On the couch."

He sighs as well and gets out of my car.

"Your fault I don't trust you anymore." I whisper to myself.

"I know..." he says.

Damn didn't mean for him to hear that. Oh well it's the truth.

We walk up the stairs and I go inside my apartment.

"Hey where have you-" Willow starts but stops and gapes when she sees James.

She looks back and forth between us and closes her mouth.

"I'll make tea, you guys can sit at the dining room table and think about explaining yourselves." she says almost coldly.

Oh no...

I sit at the table anyway and James sits across from me. I glance up at him every once in awhile to see him looking at the table with nervous written across his face...not literally.

Willow sets the tea kettle down on a plate along with mugs and sets them down on the table. Pouring each of us a glass.

"Ok go."

"It's my fault." James says.

"How?" Willow asks.

"I shouldn't of ever sent Angela away and I should've visited and not been an asshole, I mean now she doesn't even love me... I mean not counting the bond between us." he says.

"James I love you it's just I can't trust you anymore, you have to gain it back." I say.

"Good at least she hasn't gone running into your arms. Good constraint Angela." Willow smiles at me.

I smile back. "I'm not love struck entirely, I'm not just gonna go through all of that again."

She nods her head with approval.

"Why did you come back in the first place? Why not sooner?" Willow says to James.

"I honestly don't want to tell you, I prefer Angela knows and only her."

"Has he told you?" Willow asks.

"Not entirely I don't believe." I say sipping the green tea with lemon.

"Well then, at least I understand what's going on." she says.

I nod.

"I didn't come here just to try and get her back Willow, you know I wouldn't put her though all of the again and just leave again." James says getting angry.

"James I actually don't know, because if you cared about her feelings enough you would see that what you did was an asshole move! I mean she cried for days! Sometimes she wouldn't eat and Seth was worried sick about her! I mean honestly I don't even think you should be in our apartment!" Willow says.

"It's not your choice Willow it's Angela's!" he says.

"Well it may be but the fact is that you hurt her - BAD - and I know she's smart enough not to go running back but I know how love bonds work! You keep thinking that things will change, that he will change, but it almost never happens! I would hate to see we go through the things that I went through!" Willow yells.

"Just because Jason did that to you doesn't mean I'm going to do that to Angela." James growls.

"Maybe not but I can see how you both are alike I mean hell he's your second hand man! You both would have to think alike for you to appoint him as your second in command wouldn't you!" she stands up.
