My eyes open slowly. They feel crusted over. I lifted my right arm. Seemed there was something heavy restricting it: holding it in place. When did I break my arm? I broke through the crust on my eyes, shuddering at how disgusting it was. I looked around the rather large room I was in, and frowned in disbeleif. Why was I in a hospital? Had Giles brought me here? Does he know I'm here?! I was freaking out, almost hyperventilating.

I couldn't remember much from the night before, and was trying to remember what happened when a beautiful blonde doctor entered the room. He was probably the most beautiful person I'd ever seen. He was too beautiful really...

"Oh, Hello, Buffy. Finally awake. I'm your Doctor, Carlisle Cullen." He said, a smile lighting his gorgeous pale face.
"Umm... Why am I here?" I asked straight away; I began to think that I'd been taken back to the Cullens' house, and I was soon going to die.
"You were brought in late Tuesday night by a few of the La Push boys. Good thing they found you too, you've three broken ribs and you've broken your arm. You split open your head too. Buffy, Do you remember anything from Tuesday night?" Carlisle asked, walking closer to the bed to place his cold hand on my face.
"What day is it now?" I asked, feeling a little spaced out and sick.
"It's Friday, Buffy. It looks like you really needed some sleep." Carlisle said with a short laugh, as his hand trailed down my arm. Taking my pulse at the wrist, he spoke again; "Do you remember what happened on Tuesday night, Buffy?"
I shook my head. "I don't think so." I said, almost breaking out in tears. What was with me today?
"Okay, Buffy. I'll let you get some rest," Carlisle said, retreating. He lifted his hand for a small wave as he exited.

I stood slowly, helping myself up with my hand, the one Jasper hadn't broken. Carlisle had seemed to keep his cool around me. I shook as I stood, as it has been quite some time since I had previously walked. Or faught as a matter of fact.

I pushed myself towards the bathroom, and once inside, slowly sat on the toilet. Once I was done there I walked over to the sink, washed my hands and looked into the mirror. Oh, how embarrising! It looked as if I had a hickie right on my neck where Jasper almost bit me...

Despite the hate I felt for him and his brother, I smiled at the mention of Jaspers name. Oh, god.. That's really bad. Was I.....?

"Buffy?" I heard a familiar voice call. I opened the bathroom door, and stuck my head out around it. "Buff, Hey!" Xander said, as I stepped out. He came up to me and hugged me tightly. I yelped lightly in pain.
"Ow, Xander. Watch it!" I said, slapping his hand playfully, yet with an amazing amout of strength. I didn't plan to hurt him, yet he rubbed his hand in pain. I then hugged him back lightly.
"Sorry, Buff. Missed you." He said, pulling away. I walked back over to my bed, pulling him behind me.
"I Missed you too," I said smiling. He grinned back at me, and helped me into the bed. He saw the hickie like mark and shook his head.
"You're in hospital, yet you're still getting your rocks off? You're unbelievable, Buffy."
"No, It's not like that Xander," I said, holding my hands up defensively.
"Hey, Buff, Let's not fight. I'm only here for a few days, okay? And I don't want to be fighting with you."
"Only a few days?"
"You know how it is, Buffy. Anya couldn't join me, and she doesn't want to share me around. Buff, I'm sorry." He said, sitting at the end of the bed.
"It's alright, really. Have you seen Giles?"
Xander grinned, starting our conversation.

"Do you really have to go home, Xander?" I asked, frowning.
"Course. I told you it was only a few days."
"You've stayed just the afternoon."
"That's because I got here Wednesday, Buff. I visited you heaps." He replied, packing his bag.
"I'm sorry." I said, unsure as to why I was apologizing. It wasn't my fault I was unconcious those few days.
"Don't apologise." He kissed my forehead, then pulled away smiling. "I'll see you soon, Buff. Thanks for waking up for me, and I'll miss you." He said, adding a wink.
"You too."

And with that, he was gone, leaving me with My lonely, irrefutable memories of that one day...
