I sat up and gasped, my heart pounding in my chest, and sweating a little. It was like waking up from a nightmare, a very painful nightmare. I took a couple deep breaths and my breathing slowly returned to normal. The last thing I remembered was Wesley holding me, pain...so much pain, and then nothing. I died. Then was this Heaven? It didn't look much like Heaven, unless Heaven was my apartment in LA, which I seriously doubted with the ever-constant running toilet.
I climbed out of bed and stared at myself in the mirror. I looked the same. Same hair, same eyes, same mouth...I peeked down my shirt, nope, definitely not Heaven. So if I wasn't dead, then I was alive, but why? And how? I needed answers and I needed them now. Wesley wasn't here, which made me think that a lot longer than a few moments had gone by since my last memory. Nothing seemed different, but something was, I couldn't put my finger on it, but something was definitely not right.
I showered, got ready and dressed and made my way over to Wolfram & Hart. I needed to find Wesley and Angel. What if they thought I was still dead. Knowing them, they were probably out pummeling someone or something for doing whatever it was that was done to me.
I rode up in the elevator with a few other people, mostly lawyers, but no one I recognized or anyone that could answer any of my questions. My stop was next and all but ran out of the elevator and over to Harmony's desk, which was empty, This was good because it let me just walk into Angel's office, which was also empty.
I sighed and headed down to Wesley's office. I needed to see him. I wanted to...so many things. His assitant told me he walked out no less than 30 minutes ago and didn't know when he'd be back. I used the phone in Wes's office and called his cell phone. It began ringing and I prayed that he'd pick it up.
((open for a Wesley phone call or someone to see her in Wes's office))
