~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As Buffy came to, she felt a horrible pain in her side. She looked around to see where she was; she had no idea where she was.
"Hey B."
Buffy slowly turned her head and saw Faith standing at the foot of her bed. She tried to speak, but no words came out.
"Chill B, don't try to speak. You're ok. You got shot in the side. Angel carried you back here and we got the bullet out of you. We've all been shot at least once, so we've had plenty of practice with removing bullets; Angel is a pro at it now. 'Course, that's not necessarily a good thing." Faith wrinkled her nose, "Actually, that's kinda scary."
Buffy smiled a little.
Faith returned the smile. "You lost a good amount of blood, but not enough to really hurt you. You'll be ok in a few days."
Buffy squeaked out some words, "What happened?"
Faith sat beside Buffy, "Well, Angel shot that asshole Jack, and at the exact same time, one of his jack ass pals shot you in the side, that's why you blacked out. Before any other shots were fired, Cordy, Dru, and I hit Jack's friends over their heads with the guns we had. We all have a gun; it's a necessity in my family. Anyway, I would have loved to kill all the fuckers, excuse my language, but we didn't want to draw all that attention to ourselves. So, we knocked out Jack's friends, Jack laid there, bleeding to death, and we brought you back here."
Faith could see the confusion in Buffy's eyes, "How'd we get there? Well, we were on our way to meet the guys when we heard Jack's voice, and you crying. So we came over."
The bedroom door opened and Dru came in holding a glass of something.
She handed it to Faith, "How is she?"
Faith smiled, "She'll live. Here B, drink this, it's water."
Buffy took the glass and slowly drank it. She cleared her throat, "Thanks."
Dru smiled, "Much better; I'll get Angel."
Buffy took another drink, "How long have I been out?"
Faith thought for a second, "About 4 hours. Good thing it's Saturday."
"Giles. He must be going crazy."
"No sweat, Xander is taking care of it as we speak. What's the deal with Giles anyway?"
"He and my mom were good friends. When my mom died, he adopted me; it's what my mom wanted."
Faith smiled, "That's cool."
"My turn, what's the deal with Cordelia? She lives here, but why?"
Faith frowned, "Cordy's dad beat her, so she ran away when she was 14. I met her shortly after and we became friends fast. She didn't have any place to go, so I asked Kyle if she could stay with us for a while. Angel, Kyle, and Spike, not to mention Xander, all took a real liking to her, so now she lives with us. She's like a sister to me and my brothers, and Xander is totally devoted to her."
Buffy smiled, "That's so cool. Wait, you said Xander is taking care of Giles? How?"
~~~~
Willow woke to the sound of her phone ringing.
She picked it up, "Do you know it's 3 a.m.?"
"Willow?"
Willow focused, "Who's this?"
"Xander."
"Xander?"
"Yea."
"How'd you get this number?"
"Buffy's address book."
Willow gasped a little, "Buffy? Why do you have her address book?" Willow sat up in bed, "What did you do to her?"
Xander chuckled, "Relax, she's fine."
"Where is she?"
"She's in a safe place."
"What happened?"
"She came across some...bad guys. There were some problems, but she's fine now. I need you to do me a favor."
"What kind of favor?"
"Giles."
"Giles?"
"Yea, he is probably spitting nails wondering where she is. Can you call him and make something up? Tell him she's spending the weekend with you."
"It's 3 a.m. That's not good enough."
"Ok...tell him you went to a party and someone slipped her a drug or something, she passed out, you brought her back to your place so she could sleep."
"If I say that to Giles, he's freak!"
"It's better than what really happened."
"What did happen?"
"Just take care of Giles, and I'll fill you in later."
"Ok, fine. But you better call me when the sun is actually up, or I'm telling Giles the truth."
"No sweat. Thanks, Red." Xander hung up the phone.
Willow put her phone back on her desk, "Red?"
~~~~
Buffy finished her water and handed the glass to Faith, "Thank you. Ok, the fact that I'm here, in your house, instead of in the hospital, I'm gonna guess that you guys don't want anyone to know about what happened."
Faith winked at Buffy, "You learn fast B."
She left the room, and Angel came in, "Are you ok?"
"I'll live."
"Good."
"Thank you."
"Why don't you get some sleep?"
Buffy looked around, "Who's room am I in?"
Angel starred at her, "Mine."
"Oh. Where are you..."
"The couch."
"Ok; well, thank you."
Angel gave her a half-smile, then left.
Faith reappeared, "You need your rest B. Xander called your friend Willow and she is taking care of Giles, so just relax. Sleep now."
She turned off the light, and closed the door. Buffy was asleep two minutes later.
~~~~
Faith joined everyone in the living room.
Angel was standing by the window, Kyle was sitting on the couch with Xander and Cordelia, and Dru and Spike were sitting on a love seat. Faith sat next to Kyle.
She looked at Angel, "You saved her life. Jack would have killed her."
Angel looked at Faith, "Well, he didn't, did he."
"What do you have against her?"
"Didn't we already cover this?"
"Yea, yea, she's snobby, stuck-up, self-centered, and rich."
"Yep, that's pretty much it."
Xander smiled, "I don't buy it."
Angel glared at everyone, "Look, I would have done it for anyone, Buffy just happened to be the one that crossed Jack's path."
Kyle laughed, "Look, I don't know Buffy at all, but I do know you. You like her don't you?"
Angel didn't answer; he just looked at the couch, "You guys are on my bed, get off. I'd like to get some sleep before the sun comes up."
Everyone just grinned at Angel.
Kyle and Faith went to their rooms.
Xander kissed Cordelia goodbye, then went home, and Cordelia went to her room.
Spike and Dru exchanged their goodbyes and kisses, then Dru went home, and Spike went to his room.
After the room was finally clear, Angel laid down on the couch, and just stared at the ceiling for the rest of the night.
