Angel placed Buffy into the car and headed to the police station. He knew she would hate him but he needed to have a rape kit done so that they could have Ethan charged and arrested. Anything to keep Buffy safe.

"Angel don't even think about it." Buffy moaned next to him as he drove.

"Buffy we'll be there in a few minutes." He said as he continued to drive never looking her way.

"Angel I'm not talking. You can't force me to press charges." She told him.

Angel pulled over and put the car in park. He turned to look at her. There was a lump on her forehead and a small bruise was forming on her cheek. "Buffy, why won't you go to the police about this?" He asked her seriously.

Buffy looked down at her lap. "Because I can't, why can't you just leave it alone?" She asked.

Angel looked at her like she was crazy. "How can you even ask me that Buffy? I can't be happy knowing that my girlfriend in at home being raped by her step-dad." He told her.

"Angel, my mother loves him. I can't take him away from her." She told him, pleading him with her green orbs, to drop the subject.

"Buffy…I know you're mother wouldn't want to be with him if she knew what he does to you."

"Angel, what makes you think she doesn't already know?"

Angel looked shocked for a moment. "Buffy…does she LET him do those things to you?" He asked softly, carefully, afraid of the answer.

Buffy looked back down at her lap. "Can you take me to David's house? You should go to school. You can pick me up when school lets out." She told him as she sat up in her chair and buckled her seat belt.

Angel looked at her one last time before he pulled out back into the street.

Buffy noticed after a while that they weren't heading to David's and in fact Angel hadn't asked once for directions to David's house. "Angel where are we going?" She asked him.

"Giles'." He said never taking his eyes from the road.
The drive back to Giles' house was silent, neither wanting to say anything to the other. When they arrived Angel got out and went straight into the house, not even looking at Buffy.

Buffy sighed as she climbed out of the car. Her blanket still wrapped around her.

She entered the flat and found Angel in the guest room pretending to be asleep. She flopped down on the bed next to him. "Are you mad at me now?" She asked him.

Angel just looked at her from underneath his arm. "I don't want to talk about it. I just want to take a nap." He said turning away from her.

Buffy sighed and walked out of the room to take a shower and call Giles at the Library to let him know that neither one of them would be in school.

After doing all that Buffy packed her bag and left.

Angel woke up later that afternoon. He went downstairs looking for Buffy, figuring that she'd be watching television or something. When he didn't find her downstairs he then noticed that all her stuff was gone.

Angel flopped down onto the couch and placed his face in his hands. "Great just great. She left." He said sadly.

Angel walked back up to the guest room and grabbed his keys, threw on his sneakers and picked up his phone.

"Where the hell does that David guy live?" He wondered out loud as he slammed the door closed behind him.

Buffy walked up to David's door and knocked. When he opened he looked as though he had just woken up.

"What's up?" He asked.

"Can I crash here for a few days?" She asked.

David looked over at her face. The lump on her head and the bruise told him exactly what had happened. "He touched you didn't he?" He asked her.

Buffy didn't say anything as she pushed past him and entered the apartment.

"How long?" He asked.

"Does it matter to you?"

"Yeah it does. I have women coming in and out of here all the time. It's like a revolving door." He said as he shut the door and walked over to the couch were she was.

"Yeah sure it is." She said as she took off her jacket and shoes.

"So you going to give me something for letting you crash here?" He asked.

Buffy looked up at him. I promised Angel I wouldn't. The hell with him, he promised to not push the subject of Ethan and he did. She leaned over and grabbed David's cock through his boxers.

"Well that'll do." He said with a smile as he leaned back and pulled her on top of him.

Buffy gave him a smile before pulling his penis out of his boxers and hiked her skirt up, sliding him inside of her body.

They both groaned at the familiar feeling of the other's body. "God babe you're so fucking tight. Even after all this time." David said as he let her rock against him.

"Don't call me baby." She growled into his ear before biting his earlobe.

"What ever you want, so long as you don't stop." He growled back as he ducked his head down to suck on her nipples through her shirt.

Buffy continued to rock against him, Angel's face flashing in her mind. I'm too dirty to ever be able to do this to Angel. He wouldn't want me. He DOESN'T want me. I'm just a pet project to him. She thought as she rocked angrily against David.

Buffy was brought out of her thoughts when David placed his hands on her hips to stop her, only then did she realize that she was crying.

"What's wrong sweetie?" David asked running his hands through her hair.

Buffy shook her head and wiped away the tears.

"Buffy don't lie to me. How long have we known each other?" He asked.

"A REALLY long time." She said with a slight smile.

"Exactly, you know you can tell me anything." He said stroking her arm.

Buffy nodded and leaned forward against his chest. He was still inside of her and when she leaned forward he came back to life. "I've been, kind of seeing this guy." She started.

"Explains why you haven't been over to see me in a couple of days."

"Yeah well, he's rich, his family that is, and popular and hot. He started tutoring me in History and we kind of started messing around."

"You fuck him yet?"

"No. Anyways he broke up with his equally beautiful, popular and rich girlfriend for me. He says he wants to be with me. He found out about Ethan and about my drug habit and you and he asked me to stop doing it."

"Stop doing what? Me or the drugs?" He asked with a grin.

"Both." She replied with a smile. "I promised him I would. Anyways his parents found out and pretty much disowned him. He and I spent the better part of the weekend at a hotel until his father came by and told him he was cutting him off. After that he called his uncle who just so happens to be Giles."

"Giles, your mom and Ethan's old college friend?"

"That's the one. Anyways we spent the night there. Giles asked me about Ethan. He knows something's been going on but hadn't said anything. Anyways we were on our way to school and I had to stop at my house for my books so Angel dropped me off and I went in to get them. Anyways Ethan found me and we had some…well you know…anyways Angel saved me and then tried to take me to the police to file a report. When I refused he drove us back to his uncles' house, said he was tired and didn't want to talk and then went to sleep. I grabbed my shit and came here." She told him.

David stroked her back. "You can stay here for as long as you want but…did you explain to him why you don't want to file a report?" He asked.

Buffy only shook her head against his chest.

"Well maybe you should." He told her.

Buffy sighed. "Do I have to tonight?" She asked.

"No, you don't. You can crash here but tomorrow you should go talk to him." He reached over and handed her his cell. "Call him first and let him know you're okay. Tell him you guys will talk tomorrow." He said as he picked her up sat her down next to him. He tucked himself back into his boxers and went to the kitchen to get some water.

Buffy fixed her skirt and then dialed Angel's cell phone.
