Chapter 4 - The confession
Angel sighed an useless sigh as he stood up, and got full dressed. He had gotten Cordelia home about three am and than he had got to bed, he walked past the room Xander had spent the night to notice him gone, than he noticed the door of the bathroom were half closed, he could sense something wrong in the air so he went to check it out
He softly knocked at the doors than let them slowly open up "Xander?"
His eyes went wider when he saw the boy sitting at the floor, the tears ran quickly down his cheeks, while he held up the razor, his hands were covered in blood
"Xander?" Angel asked again "Handle me the razor"
Xanderīs eyes were focusing on his covered hands than he faced the vampire
"Give me the razor" Angel said softly
A whimper escaped the boyīs lips
Angel grabbed around the razor, but the boy held it tightly, Angel released his grib and placed the razor far away from the kid
"Iīm so sorry" Xander choked while the tears ran down "I just got an impulse"
"You gotta let me help you" Angel said
Xander didnīt reply, the tears only ran down, than finally he faced the vampire again "Why?"
"Why, what?" Angel asked
"Why do you want to help me?" Xander asked "I mean, we donīt really got the greatest history"
"Xander, youīre emotional pain is starting to effect you physically, Iīm not wishing that you will hurt yourself" Angel frowned
There was a long silent until Xander broke it
"Itīs not only Anya" Xander said
Angel locked his gaze to Xanderīs, who was the first to look away
"Uhh, I left Sunnydale because of dad" Xander admit "He.. hurted me.. alot, physically"
Angel tried to face him again, but Xander had faced the floor, the tears were still unstopable
"No one knew I left, I didnīt say goodbye to anyone" Xander admit "I just catched the next bus which went to L.A, and I met you guys"
Angel didnīt really know what to say, until his attention turned back to his cuts "We should clean you up"
: : :
Angel stared at the boy who had fallen asleep again, his wrist were bandaged, covering the bad cuts he had given himself.. Angel stood up when he was sure Xander was asleep, than he moved to the phone and dialed Gilesīs number
"Xander?" A familiar voice echoed, it was his ex girlfriend, Buffy
Angel didnīt really know if he should hung up or tell her, finally the first word escaped his lips
"Buffy?" Angel asked
"Angel?" Buffy asked
"Yeah, Buffy, itīs me" Angel admit "Uhh, I thought I should let you know about Xander, heīs here"
"Oh god" Buffy said relieved "What is he doing at your place?"
"We met him, took him over to my place. I gotta tell you, heīs in pretty bad condition" Angel said
"Iīm coming over" Buffy said, than a long silent filled up the line "How is he?"
"I found him earlier in the bathroom, he had been cutting himself with a razor" Angel explained "He also told me about his girlfriend"
"Iīm coming" Buffy said "Just give me an adress"
