Staying in the Medical ward of Wolfram & Hart can be maddening. From what I heard Spike went to Angel to talk, about what I'm not so sure. I was getting restless and Fred was busy, nobody was in the science lab when I went down to see her.
I decided to be brave and venture outside of the building, maybe take in a bit of life again. I was still trying to get used to everything going on, I hoped that fresh air might do me some good. Mamma's letter gave me a bit of hope and that was just what I needed.
I managed to get some clothes from a nurse and I told her I was going out for a walk, ok, a very slow walk. My hip was still hurting something awful. But it will heal, just like everything else.
LA was so much different then Sunnydale, it was bigger and louder. I enjoyed the noise, after so much silence, noise is good.
I was walking down one of the main streets when I could have sworn I saw someone I knew. I was apprehensive about going up and looking into it, especially after what happened with Buffy.
Curiosity got the best of me and I followed the figure into a supermarket. I stopped short when I went down the snack cake isle and saw who it was. "Xander." He looked but I don't think he saw me.
I nervously bit my lip and walked towards him, my mind hoping the entire time that this went better then my meeting with Buffy.
"Hey..." I managed to get out, getting that cartoonish jaw-hits-the floor sort of feeling, and I probably looked the part too. "What're you... I mean when'd you..."
Okay, back up Harris. Try again. Think actual thoughts of non-surprise, and form coherent sentences. "What happened? Does Willow know you're back?" Hey, that wasn't bad. Let's see how long I can keep this up.
I blushed slightly, feeling bad for causing his shock. I smiled and took a deep breath. "Hey. Human, I think. A few days, long story, no she doesn't. I'm not ready for that road yet."
I sighed and looked at him, he looked so much older, like more then two years passed. I tucked my hair behind my ear and smiled a bit at him. "How are you?" Ok, besides the shocked.
