Chapter 7: Angel's Apartment
Buffy was on the couch fast asleep. She fell asleep watching a movie or something. When she started having another nightmare about the crash. This time around she only smelled fire,blood,and burnt flash. At this point she was tossing and turning on the couch. She kept mumbling "no,no,no,no,NO,NO,NO."
Angel was walking towards his locked apartment when he heard someone yelling No over and over again. He realized it was coming from his room and rushed to open the door and run in. He saw Buffy tossing and turning on the couch. Angel rushed over and gently woke her up. "Buffy baby wake up. It's just a dream." Buffy jumped up yelling "NO". "Buffy It's okay" Angel says taking her into my arms. "Baby what were you dreaming about now." Angel asks sitting down on the couch with her in his lap. "Another dream about the accident it just scared me that's all" Buffy says laying her head on his chest. "Okay baby as long as your okay. But if you to tell me I'm always going to be here" Angel says. Buffy just nodded her head yes in his chest. "Do you want to go and see your parents later" Angel asks looking down at her. "Yeah please" Buffy says with a shaking voice. "Okay I'll call them and tell them we're coming in a little while".
A few minutes later Angel was on the phone calling the Summers residence. On the 3rd ring Joyce Summers picked up. "Hello Joyce specking". "Hey Joyce it's Angel". "Hey Angel is everything okay." Joyce asked with concern. "Yeah everything's fine. Buffy just wants to come over and I was making sure you guys were home before we come." Angel says with a small smile. "Yeah we're home. How about you two come over for dinner." Joyce says moving through her living room. "Yeah sure what time should we come?" Angel asks. " How about 5ish" Joyce answers. "Will be there". "Okay see you than" Angel hang up the phone and walked back into the living room where Buffy was sitting down.
"Your mom invited us to dinner at 5 okay" Angel says sitting down next to her. "Okay" Buffy says snuggling into his side. "Baby you okay" Angel asked rubbing her back. " Yeah I'm good. I just wish these dreams will go away". "They will you just got to stop thinking about it" Angel says gently. "I know and I'm trying" Buffy says looking up at him.
A few hours later Angel and Buffy were cuddled on the couch watching TV. Angel looked over to the clock to see it was 4:15. "Baby we should start getting ready. It's almost time to go" Angel says looking down at her. "Okay" Buffy says leaning up on the couch. "Go take a shower okay" Angel says helping Buffy off the couch. "Yeah thanks" Buffy says hoping to the bathroom cause she refused to use her crunches.
Buffy walked into the bathroom and shut the door. She slowly took her clothes off and turned the water on. She made sure the water was just right before she went in. Buffy grabbed the rag and put soap on it. She slowly started washing her body until she felt clean. Than she grabbed her shampoo and squirted some into her hand. She than layered her hair with it and rinsed it out. Than she grabbed her conditioner and squirted it into her hand. She layered her hair again and raised it out. When done with this she got out of the shower and dried off. She wrapped a towel around herself and left her hair down.
She limped out of the bathroom and into the guest bedroom. She opened her suitcase and grabbed some blue jeans and a white tang top. She put them on and than put one of her shoes on. She couldn't put any pressure on her other foot. She than brushed her hair. She left her hair down. Buffy than put some light make up on. When done she grabbed her jacket and limped back into the living room where Angel was waiting.
"Are you ready?" Angel asks standing up. Buffy limped in front of him "Yeah let's go". Angel took her hand and led her out of the apartment.
