Angel sat in his room at the Hyperion, staring at the letter in his hand. Even though he
and Buffy had promised they would always be there for each other, he had never really
expected Buffy to come to him for help. She'd been back for a few months now, and
according to her letter, things were not getting any easier. There were problems with
Willow, problems that were spilling over onto Dawn. Angel read the letter one more
time.
Dear Angel,
I really need your help. Willow is out of control. She is abusing her
magic, and it has put Dawn in jeopardy. The worst of it is, Dawn is
blaming me for everything. It's my fault that Willow has this problem
and it's my fault Dawn got hurt because of it. I really think the best
thing would be for Dawn to get out of Sunnydale for a while. Just to
get some space away from the situation. I had thought about sending
her to Giles, but I need to have her close, and I know that you will
protect her for me. I have already spoken to Cordelia and she said
Dawn could stay there. I know you are worried about Cordy and
how the visions are effecting her, but Dawn will be there to help watch
over her. Please Angel, you are not my last resort, but you are my best
resort right now.
Buffy
Angel put the letter down as Wesley knocked on his door and entered the room.
"Angel, is everything ok in Sunnydale?" Wes asked him.
Angel wordlessly handed him the letter to read and sat back to wait for his reaction to it.
"Are you going to let her come here?" He asked Angel.
"I don't see how I can't," replied Angel. "Buffy hasn't asked me for anything before. I have to help her."
"Yes, but Cordelia," began Wesley, but Angel interrupted.
"I've already spoken to Cordy, and she wants this. She pointed out that
Buffy saved her plenty of times, and this is one way to repay her."
"Plus," added Cordelia as she walked into the room, "It will help to
spare her from being influenced by Buffy's sense of fashion. Angel,
I talked to Fred and Gunn, and they are alright with whatever you decide."
Angel turned to Wesley, "Well Wes, it's your call."
"I say yes, but Cordelia, you must tell us if having her with you is too much
to cope with. She can come and stay with me, or here with Angel."
"I'll go call Buffy and let her know it's ok," said Angel as the three friends
left the room.
