Angel turned away from Darla just in time to see Buffy run out of the Bronze. "Buffy!" He called out, she didn't hear him because the music was so loud. He ran out after her, shoving the throngs of teens moving towards the dance floor.

Angel pushed the heavy door and ran outside of the club. "Dammit." He said not spotting Buffy.

He heard some sounds around the corner and went to follow it. Maybe she found a vamp. Angel turned the corner and saw some guy carrying Buffy out of the alley. "Buffy!" He yelled running after the guy.

The guy turned around and that was when Angel realized it wasn't a GUY but a vampire. Angel pulled out a stake from his jacket. "Put her down."

The vampire looked over at Angel and laughed. "What are you going to do to me kid?" The vamp said mockingly as he put Buffy down on a crate.

Angel ran and jumped the vampire, once he saw that Buffy was on the ground.
The vampire caught Angel and threw him into a stack of crates on the other side of him. Angel recovered quickly and stood, running toward the vamp. Angel faked a left and hit the vamp square across the jaw with a right. The vampire went to the floor, before he could recover Angel stabbed the stake into his chest causing him to burst into dust.

Angel ran towards Buffy and picked her up. He checked her pulse. Strong that's a good sign. He turned towards his car and placed Buffy in the car. He took her to his house, his parents were away for the weekend and Connor was staying at a friends.

Angel laid Buffy on his bed softly and checked her for any wounds. There was a small gash on her head. He went to the bathroom, when he came back with a washcloth and band aid's, Buffy was awake and sitting up on his bed. "Hey, how are you feeling?" He asked as he took a seat on the bed.

"Been better." She said touching the cut on her head.

"Here, let me clean that off for you." He said moving closer to her.

"No, I'm fine. I've got to go." She said sliding to the edge of the bed.

"Buffy you've gotta clean that out. Come on." He said grabbing her hand.
Buffy yanked her hand from his. "I'm fine. Good night" She said standing and heading towards the door.

"Buffy what's going on?" He said moving to stop her before reaching the door.

"Nothing, just tired."

"Buffy don't lie to me." He placed his hand under her chin and lifted it up so she could look at him. "What's wrong?"

"Where's Darla." She asked.

Angel looked shocked, hurt and worried all at the same time. Damn so she DID see that. Just tell her the truth. "Buffy there's nothing going on with me and Darla. I was waiting for you at the Bronze and she came in, grabbed my hand and pulled me to the dance floor. I told her I was waiting for you and she promised to leave us alone if I just danced one dance with her. So I agreed. When the song started to end, she kissed me. I had to pry her hands from my neck to get away but when I did I told her that I was with you and I loved you and that she should leave me alone." He told her, looking her in the eyes.

Buffy looked into his eyes and she knew he was telling the truth. Oh god how could I even THINK Angel would cheat on me? I'm such a horrible girlfriend. What the hell is wrong with me? Buffy began to cry and threw her arms around Angel's neck. "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry." She cried into his neck.

"Sh Buffy, its okay. I'm sorry. I should have known Darla would do something like that. I shouldn't have danced with her in the first place." He said as he rubbed her back. "I love you." He said kissing her on her head.

Buffy lifted her head up to look at him and smiled. "I know. I love you too. That's why this whole thing is wrong. I know you love me and would have never done anything like that. I just…I know what kind of girl Darla is, all the guys want her…I just…" She couldn't finish cause Angel kissed her. Long and hard.

When they pulled apart Buffy looked up at Angel. "What was that for?"

"You were babbling and as much as I love when you do that, well your lips just seemed to call out to mine, so I had to kiss you." He told her with a smile.

Buffy smiled back and then yawned. "I better go."

"Yeah, I don't want your mom to come in here tomorrow morning and kill me." He said with a chuckle.

"Yeah… well good night." She said giving him one last kiss.

"Night. I'll pick you up tomorrow morning. I love you." He said as she pulled out of his arms.

"I love you." She said with one last look before heading out the window.

The Next Day at School

Buffy was changing in the girls locker room, getting ready for PE when Darla came up to her, a smile across her face. "God Buffy you didn't tell me Angel was such a good kisser." She said walking past Buffy.

Anger began to boil through Buffy. She turned around. "Darla."

When the other blonde turned to face Buffy, Buffy punched her in the face. "Stay away from my boyfriend BITCH, he doesn't want you." She said slamming her locker shut and heading outside for class.

Darla stood there holding her nose, blood running through her fingers. "Oh that bitch is going to pay." She said running to the sink.
