A week had passed since Willow got the flowers. She still hadn't heard from Angel. She was starting to worry about him. Buffy sure didn't seem worried though. She had two dates with guys she met at the Bronze. If Giles thought a slayer "dating" was difficult, Buffy "playing the field" was nearly impossible. She had skipped weapons training twice to go watch the basketball players practice.
With everyone busy with school, Angel wasn't really missed. Willow hadn't been to the Bronze because she had so many college applications to fill out. Xander was getting tutored to improve his SAT scores. And Buffy was enjoying her newfound freedom.
One day, about two weeks after "the fight," Buffy said, "I wonder how Angel is?" Willow nearly choked on her apple. "Why?"
"I don't know, I haven't seen him around and I want to make surehe's OK."
That night Buffy went to Angel's apartment. She knocked on the door, but there was no answer.

"I mean the place looked like he hadn't been there for days," Buffy said. "There was nothing in the fridge, bloodwise that is, and the bed wasn't made. His bed is always made, with military corners."
"Well maybe he was in a hurry." Buffy glared at Willow. Willow replied, "OK, probably not a hurry, but maybe he went on a trip."
"Willow, do you know anything that I don't?" Willow panicked, "No, how could I possibly know anything about Angel. He doesn't talk to me; he's your boyfriend." "Ex-boyfriend," Buffy added. Willow nodded, "I know, but it's hard to quit calling him your boyfriend."
"Will, you need to get over it; it's over," Buffy joked. "I mean, I want to data other people." Willow smiled. "I'm not that bad am I? Ok, maybe I am. I don't have a social life, so I have to live through yours."Buffy added, "Have you heard much from Oz?" "Not much, he calls when he comes home on break, but it's basically over." "Then, tonight we are Bronzing," Buffy said. Willow agreed, besides what else did she have to do tonight.

Xander laughed, "You girls are pathetic, you are drooling over Jason." "We are not!" Buffy pleaded. Willow just blushed. * He's just so cute, the dark eyes and hair. * "Since this kid moved in, every girl has lost touch with reality."
"You're just jealous because no one is drooling over you," Willow mocked. "Well thanks for that self-esteem booster." "Well I am going to ask him to dance," Buffy announced. She got up and walked over to him. Of course, he said yes.
"Well Xander, just you and ….." Willow started, but Xander was already up and dancing with some girls. * Well this sucks, I'm alone and bored. Buffy has been having so much fun without Angel. Angel, where is Angel? *
* * *
Willow sat by the phone. * Should I call him????? No, it's late. Wait a second, he's a vampire, it's early for him. But, it's an emergency number, and it's not an emergency. But, I'm worried about him, even if no one else is. *
