"That's my decision."

"Don't I get any say in this?"

I looked helplessly at Oz. He was packing, he was leaving...he was serious! I could already feel my heart breaking.

"No. Veruca was right about something. The wolf is inside me all the time, and I don't know where that line is anymore between me and it. And until I figure out what that means, I shouldn't be around you... Or anybody."

It was all her fault. If she'd never come to Sunnydale, he wouldn't know that and he wouldn't leave. And now...I was going to be left crying. I know it. Oz is going to break my heart even though he said he never would.

Damn him.

"Well, that could be a problem 'cause people... Kind of a planetary epidemic."

"I'll find someplace."

"Well, how long?"

"I don't know."

"Oz... Don't you love me?"

I don't know why I asked, I don't think I can bear to listen to the answer, please, just say no and walk away because if you loved me you'd stay and you know that, Oz, you know that.

"My whole life... I've never loved anything else."

"Oz... Oh, god. Oz..."

Why couldn't you just say no? Why couldn't you say I meant nothing, and that leaving me would be easy because you didn't love me?

Why did you have to say you had never loved anything else?

Why did you have to break my heart?

And then, he just left. He put his bag in the van, started it up, and left. Was he crying? Did he care that I was left standing, alone, crying?

Did he realize with one sentence, he'd destroyed my heart? With one action, he decimated me.

I sunk to the concrete and sobbed. There was nothing more to do.
