"Hey, Buff." Angel greeted with a sweet smile as he walked up to her. Buffy was at her locker putting her books back in her locker because it was the end of the day. When Angel got to her he wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her neck.

"Love you." Angel whispered into her ear.

"Love you too." Buffy told him and rested her back against his muscular chest.

"Bronze tonight?" Angel asked hopefully, kissing her neck again.

"Nope, studying." Buffy informed him and he frowned.

"Again?" Angel protested, embracing Buffy tighter.

"Yeah, but I promise this weekend I'll spend most my time with you." Buffy promised him. Then Angel let go of Buffy and spun her around so that they were face to face. Then Angel gave her a deep passionate kiss.

"I'll keep you to that promise." Angel whispered between kisses. Then they walked down the hallway to the library holding hands.

"So where is Faith?" Buffy asked Willow. They were in the library studying for the upcoming test. Except Buffy was daydreaming of Angel more then she was studying.

"Out partying," Willow answered with a sigh.

"She does that a lot doesn't she?" Buffy questioned with a smirk.

"You have not idea." Willow said quietly and looked down at her book. Then Willow's phone started to ring.

"Hold on," Willow said to Buffy, as she took out her ringing cell phone and set her book down.

"Hello," Willow answered her cell phone.

"Oh god," Willow said and Buffy looked up from her history book. Buffy saw Willow's face go pale.

"Okay we'll be there as soon as we can." Willow ended and turned off her cell phone. By Willow's expressions Buffy could tell something was wrong.

"Who was that?" Buffy asked, wondering why Willow looked like she just saw a ghost.

"The hospital, Faith's in the hospital." Willow kept repeating like, she was hoping it was a dream and she was going to wake up.

"Why?" Buffy questioned, hoping it was nothing serious.

"They wouldn't tell me they just said she was in bad condition." Willow answered slowly trying to peace everything together.

"Let's go." Buffy said getting up from the table.

{{Hospital}}

Buffy and Willow were sitting in the waiting room and no one was telling then what was going on. Buffy had called Angel because she felt like she needed him by her. Her and Faith had only known each for a little while, but they had become quick friends.

"Do you want coffee?" Buffy asked Willow calmly even though tears were running down her cheek.

"No," Willow was able to choke out. Buffy was trying to stay strong for Willow, but it was hard for her. She never liked hospitals and never will.

"Okay, I'll be right back. Tell me if you get any news on Faith." Buffy told Willow and she nodded slowly. Buffy started off to find the coffee machine.

"You look so much more attractive when you're smiling." A loving voice came from behind Buffy and then two warm arms wrapped around her for comfort. Buffy looked up to see Angel's worried face.

"You came." Buffy tried to smile through all the tears.

"Of course." Angel reassured and pulled her into a tender kiss. Then they both walked back to Willow. Without finding the coffee, but Buffy didn't seem to care since she had Angel. When they got back Willow wasn't alone. Oz had content arms around her and Spike was next to the couple looking like he was going to kill someone. Buffy had known that Spike and Faith had got closer, but Spike being here showed her that they were a lot more closer then she first thought. When Buffy seat back down in Angel's embrace the doctor came out.

"Obviously your friend has had to much to drink." The doctor said without emotion.

"How much to TO much?" Buffy asked confused as she snuggled against Angel's chest.

"Enough to kill her." The doctor declared and everyone was quiet.

"She is unconscious right now, but when you have that much to drink theirs a good chance that you can died from it." The doctor added.

"Do any of you know where she got this much to drink?" The doctor asked after a while of silences. They all had confused looks on their faces and with that the doctor was gone.

"What do we do now? Wait to see if she lives." Spike said stubbornly. They all waited for a while and got no further news on Faith's condition. Willow and Oz had fallen a sleep, while Spike, Buffy, and Angel were awake.

"I'm hungry." Spike complained.

"I'll go to the grocery store and get something of us to eat because we may be here a while." Buffy stated getting up from Angel's lap.

"I'll go with you." Angel volunteered starting to get up, but Buffy stopped him.

"No, stay here. I'll be back soon. Call me if you get anymore news." Buffy told him. It took a long time of arguing till Angel gave up and Buffy went alone.

{{Outside the Grocery Store}}

When Buffy got out of her car she hear voices of a couple girls talking.

"That girl was so dumb." One of then made a laugh that sounded more like a screech Buffy cringed at the sound.

"She going to have one nasty hang over from all the drinks we gave her." One of then added.

"She would have jumped off a bridge if we told her to." Another one stated. Buffy could see the girls in the parking lot smoking.

"You think she's still pasted out on the floor." A voice chuckled. All Buffy could think about was Faith. Were these girls the ones pushing Faith to drink so much? There was only one way to find out.

"Probably," One answered as Buffy started to walk towards them.

"You got a problem?" A girl asked Buffy once she walked up to them. Buffy was guessing she was the leader.

"Faith," Buffy whispered looking straight into the leader's bloodshot eyes.

"What?" She wanted to know confused.

"That dumb girl, was her name Faith?" Buffy asked more forceful.

"Yeah," The leader then a drunken grin came over her face and the others laughed.

"She's in the hospital thanks to you idiots." Buffy sneered at them.

"So?" A girl next to the leader put her hands on her hips.

"So no one messes with my friends." Buffy declared.

"What you going to do about it Blondie." The leader still had a grin on her face.

"This," Buffy said and she hit the leader with full force in the face. The leader fell down and a few helped her, but the others looked at Buffy.

"Stay away from Faith. Or you're going to get more then a punch in the face." Buffy warned and spun around real fast. Buffy got to her car and drove away forgetting all about food.

{{Hospital}}

Buffy walked into the hospital not believing someone could be so nasty.

"She woke up," Willow came running up to Buffy and gave her a hug.

"That's great." Buffy let out a huge sigh of relief. Things were starting to look up.

"Where's the food?" Angel questioned after Willow was done hugging Buffy.

"Long story," Buffy answered. Buffy didn't want to tell anyone about her encounter with those girls in till she talked to Faith about it.

"Can I go talk to Faith?" Buffy asked them. She didn't know how bad Faith still was.

"Spike's with her right now." Angel told her and wrapped his arm around Buffy.

"Stay with me." Buffy told him and gave him a deep kiss.

"Forever," Angel answered and nuzzled her neck.
