I hope you guys won't get too mad with me about the upcoming chapters. I did say this would have more drama. No worries, things always tend to work out in my world!

Chapter 14

A few weeks went by and Buffy couldn't remember ever being so happy before. She had a wonderful boyfriend and things were getting better for her at school. She was walking home by herself because Spike had to stay after school to tutor someone. She was glad that he still did that. She was minding her own business, when she was suddenly pushed from behind and slammed into a wall. She turned around to see who her attacker was and rolled her eyes when she noticed Parker. "Great, this is just what I needed. What are you doing here?" She asked and he only glared at her.

"I'm here to see you. I decided to wait a while before coming back, to give you some time." Buffy crossed her arms over her chest.

"Time for what?" She wondered and he moved closer to her.

"Time to realize that I'm the guy you want." He told her with a smirk and Buffy laughed.

"You're kidding me, right? You try to force yourself on me and you expect me to take you back? I'm just wondering, Parker. What delusional world are you living in?" Parker then grew angry and grabbed her by the shirt.

"You don't really have a choice." Buffy shoved him away from her.

"You really don't want to touch me." She said in a harsh tone. Parker laughed this time.

"What are you going to do?" Buffy didn't like that he was laughing at her and then brought her knee up into his groin. He groaned in pain and fell to the ground. Buffy shook her head.

"I tried to warn you." She stated when someone else then came up behind her and hit her hard on the head. She didn't get to see who it was as she fell to the ground. Parker looked up at the man and smiled as he stood up to face him.

"Thanks, you're right on time." Parker said as he stared at Buffy's unconscious body and gave her a kick in the stomach.

"Yeah, let's just get out of here." The man said as he picked Buffy up and threw her over his shoulder. He put her in a nearby van and Parker followed as he went to the driver's side and got in. The other man got in on the other side. Parker then started the van and drove away.

Spike was in his room reading a book, when there was a knock on his door. He looked up to see his uncle walk in, with a worried expression on his face. "What is it?" Spike wondered.

"I talked to Joyce. She wanted to know if you've seen Buffy." Spike wasn't expecting that as he shook his head.

"Not since school. I had to stay after and she was going to walk home." Giles nodded as he cleaned his glasses.

"Apparently she never made it home. Joyce has been worried out of her mind." Spike was just as worried and stood up.

"I'm going to look for her." He said as he walked by Giles and out of the house.

Spike looked everywhere for Buffy and he wasn't having any luck. He checked the Bronze and any other place where she would hang out. He even asked Willow and Xander and they haven't seen her since school either. Spike was beyond worried now. He decided to head over to her house to see if she made it back. He really hoped she did. He knocked on the door and a worried Joyce opened it. The look on her face proved that Buffy wasn't home. "Hello, Joyce. Have you heard anything from her?" Joyce shook her head as she let Spike into the house.

"No, I don't know where she could be. Buffy wouldn't just not come home like this. If she was going to be late, she would have called." Spike nodded in agreement.

"I know, I've looked everywhere and I don't know where she could be either. Do you think something could have happened to her?" He wondered and Joyce's worried expression soon became a scared one.

"Oh god, you think someone could have kidnapped her or something?" Spike really regretted what he said when he saw the look on her face.

"I don't know why anyone would want to. I'm sure she just lost track of time somewhere." He amended and Joyce wouldn't believe that.

"No, I have this bad feeling. It's a mother's intuition, I know something bad happened. If anything happened to my baby, I don't know what I would do." Joyce said as she sat down on the couch, with tears coming down her face. Spike sat down next to her.

"I'm sure she's fine, Joyce. Buffy can handle herself." Joyce nodded and knew that he was right, but she was still scared for her daughter. They were both quiet after that, when someone else knocked on the door. Joyce got up in a hurry to answer it. She saw the dark haired man standing there and more tears fell down her face.

"Oh, honey. I'm so glad you're here." She said as she hugged him and he hugged her back.

"Of course I'm here, mom. I came as soon as I got your message." They broke out of the hug and he walked into the house.

"I didn't mean to disturb you at college, Angel." He shook his head as they headed into the living room.

"Don't worry about it. Have you heard anything from Buffy?" Angel asked and Joyce shook her head also.

"I don't know where she is." She stated when Angel looked and noticed Spike there. Joyce calmed down for a second to introduce them. "Spike, this is Buffy's brother Angel." She said as she looked at her son. "Spike is Buffy's boyfriend." Angel nodded and looked back at the man as he held out his hand.

"It's nice to meet you." Spike got up to shake his hand and nodded also.

"It's nice to meet you, too." They pulled away and continued to be worried about Buffy as they all sat down in silence. Giles joined them about a half an hour later and there was still no news on Buffy. Joyce couldn't take anymore after waiting for what seemed to be forever and decided to call the police. She knew that they probably wouldn't start searching until she was at least gone for 24 hours, but Joyce couldn't sit around and wait any longer. She had to do something. She just hoped that her little girl was okay, wherever she was.
