Thank you for the reviews. I'm only 13 and did this for fun and when I see that people actually like my writing, it makes me feel all happy, which, for me, does not happen very often. Oh and if you review, I'll write and update faster. Yeah, I know the suspense that is why I'm sparing you lol. As for the ages Faith and Buffy are 16, Faith is adopted so she is only a couple months younger than Buffy. They're sophomores in high school. Everyone else is the same, except Angel and Spike, who are juniors. Dawn is 12. I don't really know her age in the show so, yeah. It's au anyway so, yeah. Does that clear everything up for you? If you have anymore questions I'll answer 'em. Drama, drama. A lot of it. Well, here's the chapter. Oh this chapter may be a little higher than the others maybe like T.

The Park

Buffy, Willow, Oz, Xander, Anya, spike even showed up, and for some reason Cordelia got invited, all sat on the blanket that they spread on the grass. They were eating and laughing about something Xander just told them. Faith sat underneath a tree with Angel sitting next to her. They were in the middle of a conversation.

"So, um… don't give many details. Well, don't give any details. If you do it'll be even more of a shocker." Faith was trying to tell Angel how to tell Buffy what happened.

"Faith, don't worry. I'll only tell her what she needs to know, okay?" Angel tried to assure her.

"Sorry. I just… I don't know. I mean no offence or anything but, you wouldn't even know if you walked in on it. Thanks again by the way."

"Faith, I understand you don't want to tell anyone but, if you don't press charges than you at least need to tell Buffy. Or, well… I guess I need to tell Buffy. And stop saying 'thank you' that's like the 100th time you've said it. Like I said, I was at the right place at the right time." Angel said as they watched Buffy get up and head over in their direction.

"I better go. I don't want to be here when she finds out." Faith said as she got up. Angel followed her up. Buffy got over to them.

"Hey guys. What are you doing over here?" Buffy asked even though she knew exactly what they were doing.

"Um… Buffy, Angel has something to tell you. I'll go." Faith said as she walked away briefly touching Buffy's older arm.

"Buffy…" Angel started. "Faith wants me to tell you what is wrong with her." Buffy nodded, afraid that Angel would stop. "Well, I only know because I witnessed it. That's the only reason." Angel hesitated again. Buffy was just listening afraid of missing something. "Well, remember my party last month?" Buffy nodded. That was when Faith started acting all weird. "Well, um… remember her date?" Buffy nodded again. It was Parker Abrams, he seemed nice, just not Faith's type. "Uh, well, oh God, this is harder than I thought."

"Angel, please, just tell me." Buffy pleaded.

"He…um… he tried to…" He looked down to the ground. Buffy finally got it.

"He raped her?" Buffy asked knowing but, in disbelief.

"No, he tried, though. I walked in and ripped him off of her. She just told me not to tell anyone and took off." Angel summed up.

"Oh, God." Buffy couldn't believe it. Faith told her before they adopted her, it happened to her. She was really vague about the number of times it happened and who did it but, she told her.

"Are you okay?"

"I have to be, for Faith's sake. It will take a while to get over." 'It took a long time the first time it happened but, this time it didn't get that far. Still, it must feel awful to know you could be violated like that. To be violated like that' Buffy thought.

"I'll help you." Angel offered.

"I know you will." She said smiling up at him, moving closer to hug him. "She'll get past this, I know she will. She has to."

"She will. Faith is a strong girl, she can get over it with our help." Angel assured her. They pulled apart and sat down under the tree. They cuddled again, while watching Faith sitting laughing with their best friends. It was nice to see her like the old Faith again, even if it was just for the afternoon, Faith forgot about all of her problems and just hung out with her friends. Buffy scooted closer to Angel, getting comfortable. Both were content with just watching all of their closest friends.

It was dark and everyone had fallen asleep. Buffy and Angel were still underneath the tree. Spike and Cordy were on the beach towels, which made the blanket bigger, on opposite sides. Xander and Anya were cuddled together on the grass, her back to him and his arms wrapped around her waist. Oz and Willow were also cuddled with her head resting on his chest. Faith had her head resting on Willow's thigh. Good thing they told each of their parents they wouldn't be home tonight, and thank goodness it was Saturday and no Sunday. Each of them was content for the night, enjoying their only peaceful time. No patrols, no homework, no work, no nothing, just good friends, good time, good place, and good jokes. Hopefully they enjoy this peaceful time, they'll be in for a rude awakening soon.
