The drive from Al's Diner to Sun Rise Cottages wasn't a very long one. It was a silent drive though, Buffy was really concerned about her friends. Bad thoughts kept filling her mind, which brought tears to her eyes. Will was kind and offered his hand to her often. The car pulled into the driveway and Buffy looked to Will. "Do you want to come in?" She asked.

"Sure luv." He said and followed Buffy out of the car and into the cottage. Her parents were sitting in the living room watching the television. Buffy and Will walked over to them and her mother stood. "Hi honey." She said.

"Hi. Did Willow call again?" She asked her mother.

"No, but maybe you should try her again." She said.

"I guess, come on Will." Buffy said and ran to her room, Will close behind. Buffy ran over to her phone and quickly called Willow, this time reaching her. "Hello?" Willow said.

"Will! What's up? Something's wrong isn't there?" Buffy said.

"Huh? Oh, ya but its better now." Willow said.

"Well what happened?" Buffy asked.

"There was a little accident at the Bronze." Willow answered.

"What? Are you guys okay?" Buffy asked.

"I guess, Xander's in the hospital but he'll be okay."

"What happened?"

"There was a fire, and Xander saved Cordy. He covered her body with his, it was so brave of him." Willow said, almost in tears remembering the tragedy from earlier.

"Oh my god. Will he be alright?" Buffy asked.

"Ya, the doctors say he'll be fine in a few days." Willow answered.

"Oh my, are you okay? What about Oz?" Buffy asked.

"Yeah except for a few scraps and burns everyone else is fine." Willow said. "Look I have to go but you shouldn't worry too much, I'll call you tomorrow?"

"Alright, bye." Buffy said and hung up the phone. She turned to Will. She was almost in tears thinking of Xander.

"You okay?" Will asked and he sat on the bed next to her.

"I'll be okay. Shouldn't you get home?" Buffy asked.

"Not if you want me to stay." He said. He took her into a hug. "I think I should stay." He whispered into her right left ear. She smiled and snuggled into him. They stayed like that for about an hour, him holding her. She was really grateful that he was there to hold her, she was so upset and didn't know how she would react. Her best friend was in the hospital because he saved the one he loved. She had to force herself not to think of him or she would burst into tears all over again. "Thank you." She said, pulling out of his arms a bit. "But I think you really should get home now, I'll see you tomorrow okay?" She asked.

"Yeah luv, tomorrow." He said and stood. They held hands as they walked down the hallway to the door.
