Meanwhile.......
on Buffy’s side of the story she has been hanging around the miserable side of town. She has been actually hanging with her mom, well almost. “What is gods name of hell are you doing home? I thought that I told you to never, ever, EVER come back!” Buffy’s mom screamed. “You did but I could really care less what you say right about now!” Buffy yelled back. “Who cares what you feel like and what you want or whatever you said.” Her mom screams
“I’m not in the freaking mood right now mom just leave me the hell alone!” Buffy hollers almost crying. Buffy was trying to hold it in but with all the stress that she has been in, since Emily has left her alone. She bust into tears, crying right in front of her mom.
“Why are you crying? You never cry, ever not even when you got shot in the leg with a pistil. So why are you crying now? I could care less but this is just strange.” Her mom said almost with worry. “I don’t want to talk about it.”
“Ok” Buffy’s mom says happily and starts to walk off.
“It’s Emily! I took a shortcut through this part of town trying to get to her house and she got mugged. So I went and beat the dude up, and then the cops came and spilt us up. Then the cops called Emily’s mom so now she is not aloud to talk to me, hang with me, or anything! And not only that but now she is dating Jason who takes her away from me even more! He keeps her mind off things and she could probably care less about me now!” Buffy confesses and runs off, out of the house, and down the street.
The police spot Buffy run, they start their cars and chase after her. Buffy turns around and runs faster, not wanting to be caught. They cut her off in an ally. She turns around to face the cops. She’s breathing heavier than she ever had. They point their guns at her, she starts hyperventilating, and passes out. The cops take her to the hospital to see what was wrong. As Buffy is in her room, just waking up she see’s Emily walk in. Buffy’s relived that there is someone there for her and she smiles with relief. Emily walks over and sits down next to her. “How are you feeling?” Emily said concerned. Buffy looks at her and laughs. “Do you actually care? Im surprised you didn’t bring Jason. It’s like thats who you ever hangout with or talk to anymore.” Buffy said. Emily sighed and looked around the room feeling guilty, she gets up and starts to walk out then turns around and says “Im sorry Buffy I never meant to block you out of my life. I was just trying to stay on my moms good side for a little while, then Jason asked me out and you know i all ways wanted to go out with him, and I couldn't pass up an offer like that. And I guess i have been a little love struck these last few months. And you know what? Im sorry, ok? Im sorry i blocked you out. Im sorry that I am love struck, and i’m sorry for everything these passed months!” Emily admits, crying she runs out of the room. Buffy gets up and follows her out trying to catch up. But Buffy is to late, she see’s Emily drive off in her car. Buffy walks back up to her room and lays down. And tries to go to sleep.

Later that day Buffy was released from the hospital, and tries to go find Emily. She drives to Emily’s house, and Emily’s mom comes out. “What are you doing here Buffy?” Emily’s mom says. As she waits for Buffy’s answer she glares at her with an evil eye. “Is Emily home? I need to talk to her.” Buffy says quietly. Her mom just look like her. “Why do you need to talk to her? She went to apologize, to you and you flipped out on her! Give me one good...no one great reason why I should let you talk to my daughter?” She says firmly to Buffy. Buffy looks around, saying nothing, she turns around and gets into her car, and drives away. “I thought so.” Emily's mom says and walks back into the house.
Emily walk down stairs, lays down on the couch, and goes to sleep. Her mom comes over and wakes her up. “Are you okay honey?” She says kindly. Emily looks up and nods. Her mom gets up and walks back to the kitchen. The phone rings, her mom answers it. “Hello?”
“Hey is Emily there? Its Jason.” He said, through the phones static. Emily’s mom looks over at her and says,
“You know why don’t you just come over, Emily needs a friend right now.”
“ All right i’ll be right over.” He says. The he hangs up, the phone. A few minutes later, his car pulls in the drive, he walks to the door and lets himself in, as usual. Emily walks over to him and gives him a big hug. Her eye’s start to tear up. Jason holds her tight and asks “Whats wrong Emily?” Jason says concerned. Emily looks up at him and whispers softly, with slight tears softly running down her cheek. “Buffy and I had a fight and I think she isn’t going to be forgiving me anytime soon.”
“What happened?” Jason asked. As Emily told Jason the story, they start to walk to up to her room. They reach the top of the stairs, Emily finishes her story. Jason with nothing to say hugs her.
