(At the Hospital again. Willow is in the emergency room Buffy is with Spike in the Waiting Room.)



Buffy: Why are you always here?

Spike: What do you mean?

Buffy: Whenever I need you you are right there for me.

Spike: I don't know I just can't stand to see you or Red get hurt. Speaking of hurt where is that Sean guy? He needs total pay back.

Buffy: Spike, you know that you can't especially here.

Spike: I know but if anything is wrong with her then I will call on some old buddies to do what I can't.

Buffy: I know that you care about Willow and I agree he does have to get some pay back but that is not the way.

Spike: Then how what are we going to do call the cops and have Willow hate us for the rest of your life?

Buffy: That is what it comes down to then yes. We can't deal with this by ourselves and neither can she.

Doctor: Buffy Summers?

Buffy: That's me. How is Willow doing?

Doctor: She has a sprained left arm, her shoulder was also dislocated, and she broke a few ribs.

Spike: Is she awake? Can we see her?

(Buffy was surprised with the amount of concern he showed for her.)

Doctor: She is awake but she is a little groggy. Only one of you can see her at a time. We don't want to stress her out.

Spike: Buffy, you go first.

Buffy: Thanks.



(In Willow's room)



Buffy: Hey Wills how are you feeling? Okay stupid question.

Willow: Why?

Buffy: Why what?

Willow: Why did you stop me?

Buffy: This isn't you I know that you would not want to die.

Willow: How do you know what I want? Have you even asked me lately? I went through the scariest night of my life 3 nights ago and know one has even asked me what I want.

Buffy: I am sorry. But you didn't really want to die did you?

Willow: I don't know. Then at least the voices would stop.

Buffy: What voices?

Willow: I can hear what he said before he attacked me. I can hear me screaming. I can hear everything. Including him.

Buffy: What do you mean him? Are you talking about Sean?

Willow: No, Buffy.

Buffy: Then what?

Willow: I have not been straight about the whole thing.

Buffy: What do you mean?

Willow: It wasn't Sean that attacked me.

Buffy: Then who? I mean you were attacked right?

Willow: Yes.

(Willow said with tears in her eyes)

Buffy: Then who was it?

(Buffy said getting impatient)

Willow: It was Spike.
