Summary: This is post " Selfless", but Anya goes back with Xander instead of leaving. He tries to help her ease her pain, but he also has to live with his friends and what they think about this.

Pairings: mostly X/A

Rating: ummmm not sure between PG- PG13

A/N: I've tired fan fiction before but it never goes well lol. So I would really like you to read and review so I can approve my writing and maybe actually keep this story going.

Disclaimer: we all know what this means right? But if ya don't here it is I don't own the characters the people that write Buffy do so don't go suing me.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The phone rang again and again, but they all just stayed in their tight embrace, not wanting the moment to end.

"Can I umm... get something for my arm? I'm feeling some pain right now." Anya said while wincing when Xander touched it.

" Ya sure that might be a good idea ... I'll bring the car around from the back...Willow could you help her put her coat on?" Once Willow nodded Xander left the apartment.

" Willow?" Anya said while she helped her put her coat on.

" Ya?" Willow grabbed Anya's purse and her bookbag.

" Thank you... for everything" she walked out of the apartment.

Willow smiled and followed Anya out of the apartment and down the stairs where Xander was standing.

" We ready ladies? I called the hospital and told them that we're coming." He opened the car door and helped Anya in while Willow climbed into the back.

" Will I get a cast so everyone can sign it?!? Or just a stupid sling like I got last time?" Anya said with a cheery yet disappointed look on her face.

" By looking at it I'm guessing cast and sling" Willow said while examining the black and blue swollen arm.

They got to the hospital and Willow helped Anya out of the car while Xander went around and parked it. The nurse went ahead and took Anya to the X - Ray room and Willow sat there in the waiting room reading a magazine.

" Hey Will. What are you doing here?" A voice said above her.

Willow looked up and sees Buffy standing there above her " Oh hey Buffy... umm... I was..."

Xander came in just in time to save Willow " She was waiting for me because I have an ummm...doctor's appointment because I'm sick had some food poisoning."

Buffy rose an eyebrow " I see... so your here in the emergency room at ten at night because you at bad food?"

Willow blurted " yes and I came with him to make sure he was ok."

Buffy still didn't look convinced" And your in the ..." looks at the sign " X-Ray place because of food poisoning?"

Willow and Xander said in unison " Yes!"

Xander shook his head " Ok since this is twenty questions why are you here?"

Buffy shrugged " Dawn hit her head when we were practicing."

Willow looked concerned " Oh god is she ok?"

Buffy smiled " Yes. She's fine, but since you guys haven't been around lately you wouldn't know that she also broke her foot while fighting for her life."

Xander had a guilty expression on his face " Well I've had work and Willow has had classes ."

A nurse walked up to Xander with a clipboard " Are you Ms. Jenkins friends?"

Xander nodded and Buffy looked at the both of them in shock.

" Well Anya has indeed broken her left arm and will be getting a cast so you will have another thirty to forty minutes... and Mr. Harris she said you knew the most about her so will you fill out these forms please?" The nurse handed him a clipboard and a pen.

" Anya?!? You guys have spent all this time with some killer?!?" Buffy raised her voice a little.

" She's not a killer don't you dare say that! Since I recall you sleeping with Spike!" Xander shot back at her.

" Why does the blame always have to go back to him?" Buffy was now yelling and everyone was looking at them.

" Since you started comparing her with Spike!" Xander was now standing up.

Buffy shot Willow a look for help and all Willow could do was shake her head.

"I'm sorry Buffy, but he's right." Willow stood up and started towards her.

Buffy backed away tears in her eyes " and you call yourselves friends..." she turned around and headed down the hall.

" I didn't think she'd take it that bad." Willow said quietly while sitting back down.

" She'll get over it she always does... she's the buffster remember?" Xander said trying to reassure Willow, but he hoped she would secretly to himself.

Willow nodded and started reading her magazine and Xander finished the papers.

An hour had past and Xander was asleep on Willow shoulder drool coming out of his mouth slightly. Willow was drinking some coffee from the hospital cafeteria and doing a crossword puzzle when she saw Anya come out. Willow nudged Xander slightly and he woke up wiping his mouth and they both stood up embracing Anya.

" I asked for a marker so you guys could sign it!" She held up a packet of markers " I've got purple, green, black, red and orange."

" Cool. You want something to eat? We could go home and have some pizza and watch movies?" Xander said with a cheesy grin on his face.

" Ok can Willow come to?" Anya said linking her arm with Willow's.

" Sure as long as she wants to..." Xander said happily.

" Of course free pizza count me in!" Willow said while smiling.

The three of them left the hospital together. Buffy stood there around the corner smiling to herself realizing that she did have great friends, but when she saw Anya her smile disappeared and an evil look spread across he face.
