Chapter 3 � America

When Joyce and Lizzy were back in the states, they stayed a
few months with Hank in Los Angeles.
Hank helped Joyce legally change Lizzy�s name to Elizabeth Anne
Summers. Joyce also decided to start
calling Lizzy �Buffy�. She wanted to
distance herself from her life in England as much as she could. Buffy didn�t really notice her name change
since she was only 18 months at the time.

Joycrcharchased a small Craftsman style home in town of
Sunnydale, approximately 3 hours from LA.
Hank was disappointed, but understood why Joyce didn�t want to raise her
daughter in the city, especially after spending so much time at Pembrook. A child should have a yard to play in. Hank visited frequently. Joyce opened a small art gallery in town
once Buffy started school. They led a
very happy life. Joyce really didn�t
date; she didn�t feel she could trust a man again after Rupert.

At first Rupert visited Buffy every year. He usually came for her Birthday. It deeply pained him to see Joyce and to see
the happy life she had with Buffy. All
he could think about was that this was the life he was missing out on. By Buffy�s 6^th birthday, the
visits stopped. Rupert was drinking
heavily. Lilah had taken away the
control of the families affairs from him and managed them herself. She was mortified at Rupert�s conduct. She sent him to rehab several times, but it
never lasted. He was simply a drunk.

Fortunately, Buffy asked Joyce very few questions about her
father. She just accepted that he
wasn�t around. Hank was a better
grandfather than he was a father to Joyce, so Buffy had a strong male influence
in her life. Then when Buffy turned 15,
Hank passed away. He suffered a fatal
heart attack. Buffy and Joyce were
devastated. They were all alone in the
world now. Joyce considered trying to
contact Lady Lilah or Giles, but after her last conversations with them she
decided it was best if she and Buffy stayed on their own. Lilah had never forgiven Joyce for leaving
Rupert. She felt a woman should ignore
her husband�s indiscretions. A bitter
control freak and a drunk weren�t what Buffy needed in her life. So she didn�t call and just tried to make
sure she was the best parent she could be.
Having a teenage daughter was hard, but they managed. The day Buffy graduated was the happiest day
of Joyce�s life. Joyce had hoped Buffy
would attend Berkley or Stanford, but unfortunately Buffy�s grades weren�t that
great. But Buffy was great at
cheerleading and got a partial scholarship to Sunnydale University. They were okay with her grades and had great
hopes about what she could do for their cheerleading program.

Buffy�s POV

Summer � 2000

Now that I�m 18 I can�t wait to start college in the
fall. A lot of my friends are going out
of state for school, but I chose Sunnydale U. since I want to stay close to my
mom. And by best friend Cordy�s going
there too and we�re going to be roommates.
The cheerleading scholarship they offered me didn�t hurt either. I always worry aboutmom mom and
finances. I know she doesn�t make that
much at the gallery and I highly doubt my deadbeat dad sends her child
support. I don�t know what type of work
he does � we haven�t heard from him since I was little. I can barely remember what he looks
like. Mom inherited some money when
grandpa passed away, but she shouldn�t blow it all on sending me to school,
especially with my grades.

I have high hopes for college. High school was great. I
was pretty popular, had lots of friends.
I dated a great guy name Riley, but we broke up right after prom. He decided that he was going to go to school
in Iowa, where he was originally from and we didn�t think we could handle a
long distance romance. I wasn�t really
in love with him either, so it really wasn�t a big deal. I�ve dated a few other guys, but I�ve never
really been in head over heels love, like in the movies. I�ve never had sparks
fly when I kissed a guy.

My mom rarely dates, and if she does, they guy never last
past the third date. I always wonder
what happened with my parents.
Sometimes I want to ask my mom, but she finds it very painful to talk
about Dad, so I don�t ever bring him up.
I wonder if they were in love.
Once an Englishman named Ethan Rayne came to visit my mom. I was 14 at the time. Apparently he knew my mother when she lived
in England. He was very nice to me and
even brought me a present. A stuffed
pig a call �Mr. Gordo�. He said he had
a teenage daughter who loved stuffed animals and hoped I did too. Mom was very polite to him, but I heard them
arguing after I went to bed. I snuck
into the hallway to listen.

�Joyce, Rupert is drinking himself into a stupor. I have forgiven him and so should you. You should at least let him see his
daughter!�

�It was Rupert�s choice to stop seeing Buffy. I am not going to take her to England
because he can�t handle coming to America.�

�He can�t handle coming to America because of how cold you
were to him when he did come. Joyce,
you were the love of his life and you are still his wife! I should have told you Rupert was a sex
addict before the two of you married.
But I thought he had it under control.�

�Sex Addict! How
ridiculous. He just couldn�t keep it in
his pants. The man obviously has no
self-control. Not that your one to talk
� I know about you and Drusilla. Apparently
I�m not the only one who carries a grudge.�

�Yes it�s true, but I have now forgiven Rupert and I�m
trying to help him get his life back on track.
Seeing Buffy would definitely help.�

�I�m sorry Ethan, but that�s not going to happen. Thank you for coming by, but I think you
should leave now.�

As mom showed Ethan to the door, I snuck back to my bedroom
and thought about what I had heard. I
wondered who �Drusilla� was � what an odd name! My parents are still married and my dad was a sex addict! Wow, no wonder my mom was so uptight about
sex. She had always told me to wait
until marriage, that having sex led to nowhere but trouble.
