"Hey baby, you okay?" Angel said as he climbed out of his car and picked Buffy up from the floor, carrying her in his arms.

"Yeah I guess."

Angel placed her in her seat and then slammed her door shut. He walked around the car and climbed in on his side. "Good. Now please tell me what you were thinking when you decided to go back there?" He yelled.

Buffy was taken back by the tone of his voice. "I…I…I just didn't feel like being at school is all." She whispered as she looked down at her lap.

Angel felt bad for yelling at her and moved closer to her. Pulling her into hug. "I'm sorry for yelling baby, I just…I was so worried about you all day and then when you told me what happened…I just…I'm sorry." He said kissing her head.

Buffy softly cried in his arms. "I'm sorry for making you worry. I just needed to get out of there." She cried.

"Shh baby it's okay, I understand." He said pulling away and turning her chin up to look at him. "It's okay."

Buffy smiled through her tears.

"Now let's get you to a doctor."

Buffy's eyes opened wide with fear. "No Angel, please don't." She said shaking her head.

"Buffy baby, why not? What's wrong?" Angel asked.

"I…I hate doctor's Angel, please don't make me go." She said as she began to cry.

"Shh…okay baby, it's okay. Let's go to Giles' and I'll fix you up." He said as he put on his seat belt and headed to Giles'."

Giles'

"Here, you lay here while I go get the first aid kit." Angel said placing her on the couch.

Buffy only nodded as she watched him disappear into the bathroom.

A few seconds later he returned with the first aid kit and a wet cloth and bowl of water. Sitting down he pulled her foot onto his lap and examined the wound carefully. "That's really dug in there." He said.

"Yeah I know."

Angel picked up the wash cloth and gently as he could wiped the dried blood surrounding the cut.

Buffy hissed in pain.

"Sorry." He said as he laid the cloth in the bowl and rung it out. Taking a dried cloth he dried the foot and then examined it again. "I really think you need a doctor and not your boyfriend." He said as he dug into the first aid kit and pulled out a pair of medical tweezers. Turning back to her he warned. "This may hurt, but don't fit me, I need to get that glass out of your foot." He said to her.

Buffy mutely nodded her head and looked away from her foot and this amateur surgery.

About one hour, three million screams of pain, two billion tears and six kicks in the face, Buffy was bandaged up and laying against Angel's chest as they slept in the guest bed.

"Angel. Buffy!" Giles yelled as he entered his apartment.

Angel woke and nudged Buffy. "We'll be right down." He yelled to his uncle as his love slowly got out of bed.

She hissed in pain when her foot hit the ground. "Fuck." She mumbled.

"Careful." Angel said as he put on his slippers and picked her up. "I don't need you hurting yourself anymore." He said as they headed down the stairs.

"What's up …" Buffy started to say as she lay in Angel's arms. "Dad." She finished looking at her father who at this very moment stood next to Giles and was looking at Angel as though he was going to rip the boy a new one.

Angel looked over at what he presumed was Hank Summers. He turned around and placed Buffy on the couch.

"What happened to your foot?" Hank asked angrily as he took notice of the bandages on her feet.

"I stepped on a really big piece of glass, Angel took it out."

Hank turned his angry gaze to the boy Buffy had spoken of. "Why didn't you take her to the hospital?" He yelled.

"I told him not to." Buffy yelled.

"Buffy are you okay?" Giles asked leaning down to look at her bandaged foot.

"Hurts a little but I'm fine."

"Angel you did a good job getting it out." He said as he looked at the now unwrapped wound. "You should probably get stitches." He said looking at Buffy.

"No way. I'm not going anywhere near a doctor." She said shaking her head as she tried to stand.

"Love don't try to stand." Angel said as he moved around the couch and held her to her seat.

"I'm not going to the doctor." She huffed to the three men in the room.

"Love you need to, it may not heal right with out stitches." Angel said as he took the spot where Giles had been. He ran his hand through her hair. "Please love, as much as love the thought of carrying you around forever, my back can't take it." He said with a chuckle.

Buffy looked sad. "I'm scared." She admitted.

"Why love?" He asked stroking her face.

"I don't like doctors."

Angel smiled. "No one does love, but you need to see one."

"Will you stay with me the whole time?" She asked him with pleading eyes.

"Of course."

Buffy smiled a tight smile before nodding. "Okay."

Angel stood. "Let me get my keys and my sneakers and then we'll go." He said as he kissed her forehead before heading upstairs.

Buffy turned to her father. "Don't ever yell at him again." She said with dangerous eyes. "What do you want, and why are you here?"

"We were supposed to meet when you got out of school. When you didn't show I went to see Giles."

"That still doesn't explain why you are HERE."

"Well I was worried. Giles said that you two might be here. What happened Buffy."

"I already told you."

"Where did it happen?"

"The street."

"Why were you in the street barefoot?" Giles asked curiously.

Buffy looked away from both men and sighed in relief when Angel came running down the stairs.

"Ready to go?" He asked as he stopped in front of her.

"Ready." She said with a smile as she rose her arms up for him to pick her up.

Angel laughed and picked her up and headed out, the two men following closely behind.

Hospital

Buffy walked out of the hospital with crutches, Angel led her back to the car, Giles and Hank behind them.

"Told you, you'd need stitches." Angel said with a smirk.

"Oh shut up." Buffy growled.

"Honey do you still want to get some thing to eat with me. I'd love to talk to you." Hank said as Angel opened the passenger side door for Buffy.

Buffy looked up at Angel and then her dad. "Sure." She said plastering a fake smile on her face and limp over to his car.

Giles climbed into the passenger seat as Angel went around the car and climbed in on the other side.

"I'll see you later love." Angel said before pulling away.
