Fatal Love

Landon

It was still dark when I got up. I looked at the clock. 6:34am sharp.

I'm surprised how long I slept. I never sleep this long.

I completely forgot Cordelia was here with me.

I looked at the angel who was almost on top of me.

I can't believe how beautiful she is.

And I have a surprise for her today.

I should leave, even though I don't want to, but if Xander saw me here, he'd kill me.

I slowly tried not to wake her up and get out of bed. Unfortunately, I couldn't do that.

"Landon? Is that you?" Cori asked me, her eyes still closed and her voice sleepy.

"Yes, don't worry. Just sleep, I have to go." I said gently, somehow getting her to fall asleep some more.

"Do you have to?" Why is she making this harder for me? I'd rather stay here with her.

"I have to, princess, but don't worry, I'll see you at breakfast." I told her softly and quietly left.

I have to go to work.

Cordelia

I'm finally up.

Honestly, I'm so grateful that Landon woke me up last night because I had a nightmare. I hate it.

It's about 8:00 a.m., and I'm already dressed and going to breakfast. Or rather, I'm on crutches.

Getting to the dinning room was very tedious. Too bad Landon isn't with me, even though I feel bad using him like this.

When I finally made it to the dinning room, there was no one there. There was some food left.

In fact, after a while, I figured they were either going to school or work.

I sat down in a chair and had a croissant

I have no idea what I'm supposed to do all day when I'm probably here alone. I should probably go back to my room.

Or maybe I could go to the living room and try to turn on that cartoon somehow.

So I ended up going to the living room and trying to turn on the TV and find the show. Unfortunately I couldn't do that, but I did manage to turn on the TV and there was a movie called 'Titanic' on, so I watched that.

----- 3 hours later -----

Honestly, I've watched so many movies in the quiet few hours that I've gotten tired of watching TV.

The movie called 'titanic' didn't entertain me at all, so I switched and watched another movie.

I don't know what to do anymore. I'm bored.

Suddenly I heard footsteps. Is there someone home the whole time?

I quickly sat down, as I was quite scared. What if it's a complete stranger?

I was looking towards the stairs where the footsteps were coming from when I suddenly saw Landon.

"You're home?" I asked him. I didn't expect him to be home, but I'm glad I'm not the only one here.

"Yes, I'm here. Is something wrong?" He asked, coming over to me.

"No no no, nothing happened. I just didn't know you were home."

"I have a surprise for you, only we have to come get it. Come with me." Landon said and helped me up.

"What surprise?" I asked him.
