I remember when I first saw him, so small, so scared and wet. Cold in that alley, laying there on the concrete, crying and looking up at me with wide eyes at the same time. Darla was gone and he was all I had left, he was the only reason that I had left to live for in this sad world and that was fine with me. Now, I sit here alone wishing I could ( Read more... )

We had to keep an eye on him, that was for damn sure. I nodded at Wes because the only words that seemed to be comin' outta my mouth were 'I'm sorry'. Didn't think either of them wanted another meaningless apology from me, so I just set my lips into a thin line as Wesley turned and headed up the stairs to his bedroom. With a heavy sigh I tilted my ( Read more... )

We had all decided that we were going to find out if Connor was okay. He had to be, I told him to get out of there, the offices and he did. He left. I remember the last look I gave him, it's in my head and right now that's all I'm seeing.

Go home ... now.

They'll destroy you.

As long as you're okay, they can't. Go.Then he was gone and I was ( Read more... )

Sleep. It's a novel concept. And I'd been getting a lot of it. In the hospital, with the help of a lot of drugs. But, they also tended to make one very groggy and make ones mind very foggy. Not to mention that one didn't really feel rested with those. Despite the fact that this is what they are supposed to do. And sleeping in a hospital bed, isn't ( Read more... )

I left Wes up in his room, and hopefully he'd try and get a little bit of sleep. Course the way things were goin' around here right now, I doubted any of us were gonna be sleeping anytime soon. Knew there was no way in hell I was goin' to sleep. Too wound up, afraid something big and nasty that managed to kill pretty much everything was gonna come ( Read more... )

My hand clasped around Wesley's arm and he pretty much let me help him up the stairs. Thought for sure Angel'd be over here helpin' his boy make the climb but no. He was just standing there by the counter still ( Read more... )

A week, a whole bloody week I had to stay in that hospital. And all they seemed to have were battle ship nurses who tutted at me when I informed them of my wishes to leave. The fact that I couldn't seem to move without pain didn't work in my favor. They kept me on morphine for the first few days, which was bloody lovely, but I couldn't think ( Read more... )

It didn't take Wes long at all to fall off to sleep. Not that I was exactly surprised, these nurses had a whole bunch of drugs pumped into him. I was more surprised that he still remembered his own name, let alone ours. I should ask 'em to dope up Angel too. That way I wouldn't be sittin' next to Wes and eyeing Angel like a hawk. He kept doin' that ( Read more... )

"Would you like me to lie to you now?"

"Yes...please, thank you"There are strange noises around me. Beeping sounds, swishing sounds, gurgling sounds. Familiar sounds. It weren't the noises I'd usually associate with heaven. Not that I had expected to go there. But this wasn't what I had expected of hell either. But apparently my hell was a ( Read more... )

The rain was falling down around me, I was still standing in the middle of the street, in the alley, looking around at all the demons and everything else that came our way, lying on the ground, dead. Not like they weren't before. The fight was over and I was the only one standing. Wes had already died and Gunn only had ten minutes. A demon crushed ( Read more... )
