Collins slowly made his was to the couch after hours of searching for Angel. He fell onto it cursing loudly. He just sat there, staring at the wall opposite him. Collins had started his search at the loft. Only Mark was there. Apparently Joanne, Maureen, Mimi, and Roger all went out…somewhere. Collins wasn't really paying attention—Angel wasn't there. Collins left there and started looking everywhere. All the corners she usually played at, The Life Café, the community center where Life Support Meetings were held. No Angel.

He felt as though he had failed her. In Collins' frustration, he threw the pillow that was lying next to him at the wall. He couldn't believe he had let this happen to her. He had promised Angel that no one would get to her with him around. Collins had broken his promise.

Collins sunk further into the couch, shifting his gaze to the phone, willing it to ring. He was silently begging the phone to ring, to be her. Collins just stared at the phone, his mind spinning.

Uh..God, my head!

Angel slowly opened her eyes, adjusting to the change of light. Her hand flew to her throbbing head. Where was she? What had happened? Where was Collins? A million and one questions flew through her head.

"You okay babe?" An all too familiar voice said. Jason.

Angel shot in her bed, staring at Jason. She realized that was a stupid thing to do, considering now her head was throbbing even more. "What am I doing here!" She demanded.

Jason laughed cruelly. He smirked and said. "Why, I just wanted to be with the love of my life."

Angel glared at him. "I'm not the love of your life, now I'm leaving." She said and got up out of the bed and started walking towards the door. Jason ran up and grabbed her arm. He twisted her around and forced her back towards the center of the room. "You're not going no where," he growled at her, that evil glint in his eye.

Angel froze, the fear already setting in. Angel normally could handle herself well. Not taking shit from anyone, speaking up to anyone who gave her grief. But things were different with Jason. They just…were. She was terrified of him because she knew what he was capable of. Jason pushed her away from him harshly. Angel cowered against the wall, trembling slightly. "Please…." She whispered. "Just let me go," she begged, tears forming in her eyes.

Jason laughed that laugh again, the one that made Angel's skin crawl. "No." he stated. "I love you Angel. You are not leaving me again," he said as he advanced on her.

Angel was shaking now, afraid about what was going to happen. Run! Don't just stand here! Run! Scream! Do something…anything! She screamed inwardly. But she couldn't do anything, except watch him coming closer. He grabbed her arm and threw her onto the bed. "No…no…" she whispered, tears already flowing freely.

This can't be happening. Not again.
