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

When Buffy left the Bronze, she couldn't stop smiling. She knew right away that she had gotten to Angel the minute he touched her, even though he didn't show it. A little more, and he would be eating out of the palm of her hand. Before she knew it, Buffy was a mile away from the Bronze, then she realized that it was very dark and very creepy. She decided that it would be better if she went home with a friend, instead of by herself.

When she turned around to go back to the Bronze, she heard a voice, "Hey, baby."

Buffy spun around to find a guy standing behind her. He was tall, brown hair, about her age; and he had, creepy, grayish eyes.

Buffy tried to hide her nervousness, "Hey."

The guy smiled, "I'm Andy. You know, a pretty thing like you shouldn't be out here all alone." He said as he was checking out her outfit.

Buffy tried to stay calm, "Yea, I figured that; that's why I'm going back to the Bronze to wait for my friends."

The guy advanced on her, "It's a little late for that honey."

Buffy turned around to run back to the Bronze, but her boots weren't helping. Andy caught up to her and grabbed her around the waist and covered her mouth; then he dragged her into a near-by alley with her kicking and trying to scream. When he got to the back of the alley, he dropped her onto the ground. Buffy immediately stood up and tried to get away, but he had her trapped.

Andy leered at her, "You shouldn't wear clothes like that unless you want the attention."

Buffy sneered at him, "This isn't the attention I wanted."

Andy grinned, "Too bad." He pushed Buffy against a brick wall and pinned her to it; then he shoved his tongue down her throat and she couldn't breathe. Buffy screamed in her mind, 'Help me please!' Andy kept kissing her and groping her whole body and Buffy tried to get away.

"Andy!"

Andy broke the kiss and looked behind him, "Angel! How's it going? Do you wanna help?" When Buffy heard this, her eyes widened.

Angel smiled, "No thanks. Leave her alone."

Andy cocked his head to the side, "Why? Do you know her?"

"Just leave her alone."

"Is she yours?"

"Yea."

Buffy thought to herself, 'I'm his? I hope he is just trying to get this asshole to back off.'

Andy smiled, "Don't you want to share?"

Angel clenched his fists, "Back-off."

"O yea, I forgot, you changed."

"Yep, I did."

"Well, she's mine now, so FUCK OFF!"

Andy turned back to Buffy and kissed her. Angel casually walked up to Andy, grabbed his arm, and swirled him around, "I'm not going to tell you again."

Andy smirked, "She wouldn't put out would she?"

Angel pulled Andy's arm behind his back and broke it, "If you ever come around here or her again, I'll kill you." He let go of Andy and he ran off.

Angel went to Buffy, "Are you ok?"

Buffy dropped to the ground and started crying. Angel sat down by her and held her. Buffy could tell that he was uncomfortable, but she wouldn't let him go. "You know him? What did he mean when he said you 'changed'?"

Angel let go of her, "You'll be ok." He got up to leave, but Buffy grabbed his arm.

"Have you ever done this before?"

"Buffy..."

"Have you?"

"Not like that."

"Then what?"

"It doesn't matter."

"Yes it does! Tell me."

"He was my best friend. We did things that I regret now. He got worse, so I dropped him."

"What did you do?"

"Go to the Bronze, and wait for your friends and go home with them."

"Angel..."

"Don't wear that shit if you don't want guys to think you're a whore."

Angel saw a tear roll down Buffy's cheek.

"I'm sorry Buffy; just go home."

Buffy let go of him and went back to the Bronze. Angle waited to make sure that she got in safely.
