Alex' Pov

I sighed, knowing that it was nearly impossible to lie to Angel

"Buffy did this, she was upset with me for lying to her about you, you know telling her that lie, which now that I think about it, never happened, because I was at the apartment the night you were sent to Hell." I heard him growl and looked up at him just in time to see his face shift to game face and then back to his human face

"She's dead." He hissed and headed towards the door, I huffed and got to my feet

"Angel stop, I'm not going to let you drive all the way to Sunnydale for this, she not worth it." He spun around to face me

"She hurt you Alex! She shouldn't get a free pass."

"I'm not saying she should Angel, but go about it the right way, you told her you'd report her to the council, report her to Giles, do it the right way, instead of endangering yourself." He huffed and held up his hand with the ring on

"This ring-" I cut him off

"Prevents you from getting hurt and protects you from the sun, I get it, I do Angel, but I'm asking you nicely, I don't want anymore blood spilt, I've already lost enough." Angel gave me a long look, before sighing and stepping closer to me, only to pull me into a hug

"Alright, I'll finish making your food and I'll… I'll phone the council." I hugged him back and tucked my head under his chin

"Thank you Angel." I heard him sigh and felt his arms tighten around me

"You're welcome." He sighed and squeezed me again before, letting go of me. He stepped back and gave me a smile before heading back into the kitchen. I sighed and slumped onto the sofa, Jett immediately curled up at me feet.

-Several hours later-

"So, let me get this straight, you stopped drawing, because Buffy didn't like it?" Angel asked, I shrugged

"Willow stopped liking it as well, it makes me really miss Jesse sometimes." He squeezed my hand and pressed a kiss to the top of my head. He was leant agains the arm of the sofa his body laid across the sofa, with his shoes off and on the floor, I was laid inbetween his legs, my back resting against his chest, he was holding one of my hands and the other was playing with my hair.

"You shouldn't have stopped doing something, just because Buffy didnt like it, you should do what makes you happy." I sighed

"I know." He huffed and ran his fingers through my hair

"I'd like to see some of your drawings sometime." I shrugged and slouched down a little

"Well, all the ones I did in Sunnydale, Buffy destroyed, and you probably don't want to see the ones I have done recently either."

"And why wouldn't I?"

"Because maybe I drew them when Iwasupsetwithyou." He chuckled

"Alex, I might have good hearing and I might have gotten used to you talking fast, but not tht fast, maybe try again, and just a little bit slower this time." I sighed

"You wont want to see the drawings, because I drew them when I was upset with you."

"Ah, let me guess, you drew a creative way of killing me?" I shrugged

"Howd you guess?" He chuckled

"Because I know you Alex, though I would still like to see them."

"Fine, but the sketchbook is upstairs."

"Another time then, besides your uncle is back with his partner."

"How do you know?" I turned my head to look up at him, he smiled down at me and tapped his ear with his free hand, suddenly Jett's head popped up and then he jumped out of his bed and dashed to the front door, as head lights appeared through the window

"Now they're on the drive." I shook my head with a grin "Should we sit up? I don't want your uncle to get upset with me."

"Why would he be upset with you?"

"Because I hurt you, because he doesn't trust me, because I seduced his nephew?" I chuckled "I;m glad you find this so amusing." Suddenly the front door opened and Tim stepped into the house, Jett jumped up at him and tried to like his face

"Jett down." Tim chuckled and moved further into the house as soon as Jett jumped down "Jett, bed." Jett hurried over to his bed and sat down, with his tail wagging, I chuckled and Tim looked over and raised an eyebrow, just as uncle Jethro stepped into the house with a large box in his hands and kicked the door shut behind him. Uncle Jethro looked at me and then looked at Angel and then back at me, I shrugged

"I'm comfy." Tim chuckled and took the box with Uncle Jethro and took it into the kitchen

"Well, foods ready, go get some." Uncle Jethro said, I huffed and sat up, Uncle Jethro nodded his head towards the kitchen, I sighed and pushed myself to my feet and headed into the kitchen, Tim was pulling boxes of Chinese out of the large cardboard box.

"Hey, come grab yourself some food." Tim said, I nodded and moved over to the table, I picked up one of the boxes and sat down at the table "Do you want a fork or chopsticks?" Tim asked

"A fork, I could never quite get the hang of chopsticks." Tim chuckled and handed me a fork

"Its not hard, once you get the hang of it." Angel commented from the doorway, I glanced over and saw him stood there with Uncle Jethro, I shrugged

"I never got the hang of it so, I never continued." I held up the fork "Stick with the easy way." He chuckled

"Are you joining us Angel?" Tim asked, Angel looked at him and shook his head

"No, I couldn't." He responded

"There's more than enough." Tim responded

"And if you're truthful about what you just told me, we'll be seeing a lot more of you, so you might as well start by joining us tonight." Uncle Jethro said and moved over to the table and picked up a box of food, he then held it out to Angel, who shifted uncomfortably and looked at me, I nodded. Angel then stepped forward and took the food from Uncle Jethro and the Chopsticks from Tim and then sat down next to me at the table.

Tim and Uncle Jethro soon sat down and we all began to eat.

"So, what did you guys do today? Besides you resting Alex." Tim asked, I shrugged

"We spoke about a lot of things, cleared somethings up." They nodded

"Anything else?" Uncle Jethro asked

"I, um, I got a call from Buffy." They both stopped eating and set their chopsticks in their food boxes

"The girl that attacked you?" Uncle Jethro asked, I nodded "What did she want?" I shrugged

"Alex, you need to tell them." Angel said

"Alex, we need to know all the details, especially if you want to press charges." Tim said, I looked up at him

"Press Charges? Why would I want to do that?" Uncle Jethro sighed and ran a hand down his face

"Alex, she attacked you, left physical marks on you, injured your ribs, that's enough to put her behind bars." Uncle Jethro said, I shook my head and Angel took a hold of my hand

"Alex, you know whats going to happen to her now, she wont be able to hurt you again, just tell them what she said to you, and I'll them them what I said to them." Angel said, I nodded and he squeezed my hand.
