St. Patrick's Series

Chords

Distribution: If you want it, take it, but tell me first

Summary: Oz deals with his loss

Disclaimer: Not mine. I wish they were, but they're not. The wonderful people belong to Joss and Co.

Author's Note: This is my very first attempt at a Willow/Angel fic so please don't laugh at me. Okay, a few things I need to go over, this stays on tangent with "Puppy" with the exception that Puppy doesn't love Buffy. To the newer readers, Patrick is the alternate universe Angel who came over in "Doppelgangland" instead of Evil Willow. Thanks to my BETA-readers Meg, Allison, Ashley, and Assantra

An interlude in the St. Patrick's Series (btw parts 5 and 6)

Category: Friendship/Romance?

Feedback: Oh please give me some. Anything other than 'Dear God you suck' will be accepted. Please tell me if I'm going completely crazy when writing this or if it could possibly make sense.

Rating: PG

My fingers lightly strum the chords that have been playing in my head for a week. The haunting tune echoes throughout the empty room. The song is a reflection of my soul. I've always been a pretty stoic guy. I thought nothing could faze me. I thought I could withstand anything.

I was wrong

This is a pain I didn't know I could feel. It's worse than when I found her kissing Xander. I was hurt. I had been betrayed. But she had still been mine.

Not this time

I've finally lost her. Looking back, I knew it was only a matter of time before she moved on. She deserves someone better than me. But why did it have to be him!? How could I have been so blind? She's in love with someone else. I've known it since the hospital. There I was, comforting her, holding her when her eyes finally opened revealing that deep green color fringed with long dark lashes.

I was there for her. He wasn't!

Her lips opened as she struggled to make a sound. Then she said it. That name. The name that would haunt me for all eternity.

"P-patrick?"
