Buffy walked trough her front door and found her mom watching TV 
in the living room. Buffy flopped down beside her and put her head in 
her lap. 
"Did you have a good time tonight, honey". Buffy looked into the 
loving eyes of her mom and could no longer hold back the tears. `I am 
the supposed to be the mighty slayer but yet I can't help two kids 
fight the demons that are their parents', she thought to herself. 
Joyce held her daughter until the tears stopped, "Buffy what is going 
on"?
"Mom, as much as I want to tell you it is not my place but I just 
want you to know that I love you and I may need your help soon".
"Anytime, I will always be here for you and I love you too. Does this 
have anything to do with Xander"? 
"Yeah kinda and his best friend Willow. They got some pretty messed 
up things going on in their life. Mom I just want you to help me show 
him that parents are supposed to love their kids. I can't explain it 
but I have to protect him. I know I just met him but he is so sweet 
and peaceful no one deserves that and Willow, what that she must deal 
with is horrible."
"Buffy are their parents abusing them", Joyce Summers asked enraged.
"Looks that way, Xander says that his Dad usually goes for his mom 
but sometimes comes after him. I don't know about Willow but she had 
a big black eye today and Xander says her home life is worse then 
his."
"Buffy if what you say is true then we have to help them."
"No I don't we can right now. Xander says that one of my teachers 
tried to help once and almost got fired; I think they are both 
terrified of them, so I don't think they would admit to anything yet. 
I think we need to just love him and I am going to try to reach 
Willow, she is really messed up, mom. When I walked into the bathroom 
today she was getting high and then tonight she was so drunk she 
couldn't even stand up. She is 15 years old, she should not have to 
drink away the pain at fifteen", Buffy told her mom and broke out 
into fresh tears.
"I agree honey but if they want help right now you can't force them. 
Just be careful this Willow seems like a wild one and I would hate to 
see you get into trouble again".
"I won't I promise and speaking of trouble, we are going to have 
company this weekend. The school librarian wants to talk to us."
"What did you do this time"?
"Nothing he just wants to talk to you and I think it may explain a 
lot of things. I am going to go to bed now. I love you and don't 
worry."
"I love you too and it's my job to worry".


Buffy waited outside of the school hoping to catch Xander to find 
out how Willow was doing today but she didn't see him. She took a 
chance and went to the bathroom from yesterday and walked in. Buffy 
found Willow sitting on the sink drinking out of silver flask. She 
took another drink and looked up at Buffy, "So what's your deal? 
Xander talked about you most of the night. He said you are really 
nice and you seem to care, why"?
"He's a good guy and I think he deserves better then he has it. So do 
you".
"I agree with you about Xander. He has always been there for me and I 
hope you can help him. Me I get what I get and I don't need help. I 
get all the help I need from this and this", Willow told her pointing 
at the flask and pulling a handful of pills from her pocket. She 
popped the pills into her mouth and chased them with a shot of 
alcohol. She lit a cigarette and took a long puff from it and exhaled.
"Do you think it is wise to mix pills and alcohol together"?
"Nope but that is half the fun of it. It's like Russian roulette, you 
never know whether you'll wake up or not", she said and jumped from 
the sink. Willow stood in front of Buffy and looked her in the eyes. 
She ran her fingers down her cheek and up through the blonde hair. 
Buffy shuddered from the red heads touch, Willow seemed so tough but 
the touch was so soft. Willow pulled the blonde closer and brought 
her lips to Buffy's. Buffy lost herself in the taste of the alcohol 
and the hint of pot. Willow broke off the kiss and whispered her 
ear, "Help him". She walked out the door leaving a stunned and 
breathless Buffy.
