"Xander, shut up!", I say to him as we ran into the hospital and saw Giles standing there. "If you do that, he'll kill you on the spot, and I'm not about to lose you right now. I never thought I'd say this, but we are here for Buffy. That's all that matters right now", I say to him.
I look at Giles and we walk closer to him. "What happened? Everyone at school were saying a whole bunch of stuff."
I turned to the new people in the room. "NO ONE is KILLING ANYONE!" I practically shouted. "SIT DOWN AND SHUT UP THE BOTH OF YOU!"
They obeyed quickly. I swear, I was glad Buffy had friends, but right now, this room was almost too full for me.
"She's going to be fine, she's getting blood transfusions right now, and they stitched her up where the stake was. Yes, she was staked by Angelus, the very same one who attacked Willow. I know everything now. And I know that Buffy is going be JUST FINE. So just...if you want to support her, stay, but otherwise NO TALK OF KILLING! I've had ENOUGH!"
I sat back down in my chair, a hand to my throbbing skull. I very badly wanted a drink, but I have to be sober for Buffy. She'll be scared when she wakes up.
I quickly had Willow go get something for Joyce to drink. Anything to calm her would be good at this point in time.
I then sat next to Joyce and placed a hand on her shoulder and whispered in her ear.
"Joyce"
I said softly
"Everything will be alright, I will make certain of that, it has to be alright."
I didn't really know what to say and I was incredibly thankful when Willow returned with a hot tea. I wished that I had some way to strengthen it, but for now this would have to do to calm her nerves.
I walk back over to Willow after she brings Joyce back a drink and reach for her hand. Her and Buffy have suffered terribly at the hands of Angelus yet it's me that's seeking comfort from her. I've seen what this town is like even with an active slayer. Without one all our lives are in danger even without the threat of Angelus.
"Is everyone going to be staying here til Buffy wakes up? Is anybody going to be patrolling?" I ask, hoping Giles will be able to provide some answers.
I just watched as Joyce and Giles talked and I wasn't sure how I felt about this new watcher, he didn't seem too horrible, but I couldn't tell. I wondered how he would feel about reensouling Angelus..that is something that I can't stop thinking about, but I had to make myself focus on Buffy for now.
"Should someone see if Buffy has been taken to a room yet?"
I asked changing the subject completely. I just wanted this whole night to be over.
I don't know why I didn't want her to ask, but I just wanted to make sure it was done in the most tactful way and I didn't think Cordelia understood tact...so I guess I do know why I don't want her to ask.
"I will be right back"
I said softly as I turned to go find a nurse or doctor
After hearing what Willow said, I couldn't help but think, can we get some good news for a chance, and stop with the I'm-so-tortured talk?
I felt bad for Willow, I really did. But, it could have happened to me, as well. Luckily, that wasn't the case.
Deep down inside my heart, I had a soft spot for Buffy. She's gotten me out of a lot of creepy situations. She saves people from the big bads of Sunnydale. I hope she's ok.
I walked up to stand next to Xander, and intertwined my hands with his, and lightly kissed him on the cheek. I knew this was probably hard on him. I gave his hand a slight squeeze.
"Willow, it's not your fault." I finally said, having fallen silent after what Giles had told me about Buffy.
"It's my fault, for moving here. If we hadn't moved, none of this would have happened. You'd all be safe and there wouldn't be a psycho vampire out there terrorizing you. So, you want to blame someone, blame me."
I was tired of all of this, and just wanted to be by Buffy's side, I need to make sure she's okay and keep her from being scared, she hates hospitals so much since her cousin died in one.
I hoped Giles got back soon. The more I sat here, the more I got depressed and worrisome. I held tears back as I sat there, gripping my plastic cup for dear life.
"If you hadn't moved here, both Xander and I would be dead or I would be love slave to a psycho robot, and to be honest..if I had survived that, I would still be alone all the time. Buffy is the only person other than Xander who even took a chance at being my friend...and you are like a mom to me, so please don't regret moving here."
I said as I clung to Cordy's hand as if I thought she was gonna run away.
"You havent had the chance to meet my parents Joyce, but lets just say you are the mom I always wanted. Beside that, you have all the great snack foods..all we have is liquor at my house."
Ok did I really just say that? I need to go hide now.
"Were you not listening earlier, or do you just ignore everything that doesn't involve Cordelia?" I ask, keeping my voice level, but scathing. The puzzled look on his face almost gets me laughung, but not quite.
"I already asked Giles if we should patrol, and believe me when I say I would see Angelus dead before almost anyone else here but I agree with Willow, re-ensouling him will be more painful and humiliating for him."
I said softly as I let go of Cordy's hand and moved forward.
"I just suggested we go patrol to make sure no other little baddies are made."
Oh my god did I just say little baddies? I need sleep...or just to take my mind off of the amazing sex I had with Cordelia...ok no more sex thoughts...Angelus..must think of killing Angelus..not sex..Oh god
My face contorted as I thought about this, I knew that if Cordy saw me she would know what I was thinking, but would she? I was thinking bad things..things that I shouldn't be thinking about when the topic of an evil vampire is at hand.
"And for that matter"
I continued trying to force these thoughts out of my head.
"Why don't you want to kill him? Why would you choose to let him live after he took advantage of Willow...you say you love her yet all you can do is follow her wishes like a good puppy dog"
When I realized what I just said it was too late to take it back..I had said too much.
"You're not listening again." I tell him as I smile, trying to stop the anger rising in me. "I do want to kill him, it's my love for Willow that's stopping me."
I say the next part slowly, as if I'm explaining it to a child. "Willow doesn't want him dead, so I won't kill him."
I said loudly not caring that Willow was sitting in the room, though she made it clear she was.
"Uhh Hello, sitting right here, sitting exactly right here"
She declared as she looked between the two of us.
"Well, I am sorry but you arent thinking straight Willow. He is a killer and should be put down. What is it going to take for you all to realize that?"

I said softly still worried about Buffy. That and not being able to think about anything other than the fact that I made love to Cordelia.
Part of me felt horrible for thinking about that when Buffy is in so much pain, but I can't help it. I am 17 and in love, so sue me.

Poor Buffy. Angel is her weakness. It must be the worst thing to the man you love, turning into a crazed psycho.
