An two hours later Buffy woke up in the dark alleyway. She looked around and painfully put on her clothes.

Buffy got to the apartment and quietly snuck into her room, trying hard not to wake her roommates. When Buffy opened her door she found a very worried Angel and Spike on her bed.

Once they heard the bedroom door open Angel and Spike's head flew up.

"Luv, where have you been?" Spike asked raising to put on the light.

"Don't." Buffy said before he could reach the light.

"Why not?" Angel asked.

"My eyes hurt is all. What are you guys doing here?" She asked as she took off her heels and tossed them into the closet.

"Willow called over an hour ago. When we came in to get you, you weren't home. She said you had left the Bronze at around eleven." I told her that when you got home we'd have you call her, but Buffy it doesn't take two and a half hours to get here from the Bronze." Angel said worriedly.

"I stopped at a friends house is all." She said grabbing her towel from the closet.

Spike didn't believe her story and quickly flicked on the light.

A gasp escaped both men's throats at the sight of Buffy. Her hair was a mess, there was a huge bruise on her right cheek and there was a giant gash on her forehead. Dried blood was stuck to her neck and the straps o her tank top was broken. Her skirt was rumpled and dirty.

"What happened to you?" Angel asked getting up and moving closer to her.

"I don't want to talk about it." She said allowing Angel to lead her to her bed.

"Buffy luv, you need to tell us what happened. Who did this to you?" Spike asked coming up besides the two on the bed.

"I fell." She said lamely. Angel and Spike just looked at her waiting for the truth. "Fine you guys really want to know the truth? I was raped okay. Raped." She said. Oh my god. I was raped. Riley raped me. Actually saying it out loud made it more real to Buffy and she began to cry. "He raped me. He raped me." Over and over again Buffy said it. Hoping that maybe if she said it, it would be real.

Angel and Spike just sat there. Unable to wrap the situation around there brains, both silently wondering the same thing. Who would do something like this to Buffy?

Angel looked at Buffy as she continued to cry. She laid her head on Angel's lap and cried. Angel ran his hand through her hair. "Buffy we need to go to the hospital." Angel said softly to her.

Buffy's head snapped up from his lap. "No!" She yelled frightened. "No please don't make me go." She said shaking her head in fear.

"Buffy luv, you have to. They need to do one of those rape kits so they can catch the son of a bitch who did this to you." Spike told her. He didn't want to cause her more pain but she needed to do this so they could lock up the prick who did this to her. Either they do something or I will. No one hurts my friend.

Buffy's lower lip trembled. Buffy just hated hospitals and after the night she just had, the last thing she wanted was to be poked and prodded at by some doctors. However she knew they were right, so she only nodded her head.

"Do you want to change first?" Angel asked her.
"Can I?" She asked.

"Yeah, change you're clothes but put the ones you have on in a bag so they can use for evidence." Angel told her.

Buffy only nodded.

Spike and Angel got up off the bed and headed into their own rooms to get the shoes so they could take Buffy to the hospital.
