Part 2It didn’t take so long for the ambulance to get there, about a minute actually. But to Willow it seemed like forever.
That is why she was extremely relieved when the paramedics finally arrived.
”It this the girl?” One of the paramedics asked as he checked the girls pulse.
”Yes. She’s been unconcious the whole time.” Willow responded and fidgeted worriedly.
”Okay. Are you her sister?” Another guy asked.
”No,” The cop responded ”though I’d be happy to come along with her, if that’s okay for you.”
”Er.. sure, I bet she’ll be glad knowing who saved her.” The paramedic smiled as he placed the girl on a stretcher and with his co-worker rolled her in the ambulance. ”So, are you seeing someone?”
Sighing, the redhead rolled her eyes and sat down in the ambulance. This was gonna be a long drive.

Willow sat in the waiting room, waiting and waiting.
She had done almost every crossword in all the magazines when the doctor finally said that the girl, now known as Tara Maclay, was awake, stable, and wanted to know who saved her.
Tara had a few fractures, but just minor ones. Most of her wounds were shallow, but some would unfortunately be scars.
A doctor followed Willow into the room where Tara was lying, and for the first time, green emerald eyes met blue sapphire ones.
Willow was stunned. The womans eyes were amazing, as blue and deep as the ocean.
After what felt like a lifetime of gazing, Tara finally spoke up. ”Hey. S-so you are t-the one who s-s-saved me.” The blonde said, cursing her stutter.
”Yep, that’s me.” Willow said happily. ”Though, I wouldn’t go as far as saved, all I did was call the hospital-” She was interrupted by Tara’s sweet voice.
”That’s what saved me. Many p-people wouldn’t even have found me, or j-just ignored that I was there. B-but you didn’t, and so you saved m-my life. End of s-story.” Tara said and smiled genuinely.
”Fine. I saved you.. wait, what kind of hero am I if I don’t even tell you my name?” Willow blushed ”My name is Willow, Willow Rosenberg.”
Tara looked at the redhead,
she thought, but when she saw Willows cheeks go from regular to crimson red she realized that she’d not thought it.
”Oh godess, I s-said that out loud, didn’t I?” Willow nodded, mentally doing a happy dance.
Right then, a nurse walked in, towards Willow ”Miss Maclay, you can come over tomorrow, but right now Tara needs to rest.”
Willow ducked her face when the nurse walked out the room.
”Miss Maclay, huh?” Tara smiled tiredly.
Blushing even more, Willow explained. ”I kind of told them you were my cousin. I really wanted to stay and make sure you were okay. It was either that, or show them my badge.”
”Badge?”
”I’m a cop, that’s me. Willow the cop.”
”Okay, so you’re like a wild cop girl?” Tara joked and gazed at Willow.
”Oh no, I’m not wild. Wild on me equals spaz.”
Tara chuckled, right then, the nurse came in again. ”You can come visit her tomorrow, okay Miss?”
The redhead nodded, as she looked at Tara’s lips moving. She knew the girl was saying something, but she was lost in her eyes.
Willow blinked ”Huh?”
Tara looked funnily at the redhead. ”You do have facebook, right?”
”Oh, yes. Yes I do.”
”Great, when I get outta here I’ll add you.” The blonde said.
The blondes easy way of dealing with being abused by someone did not go unnoticed by the curious cop.
Walking out to her car, that she’d had time to pick up while waiting, she sat in it and began her drive home.
Willow looked at her watch. 00:53AM
Pulling over, she drove to the Bronze instead.
The Bronze was a local dance bar, and it had been the hangout place for Willow and her friends since the first year of high school.
When Willow finally arrived, Xander stood outside and waved at Willow.
”Hey Will. Wazup?” The drunk man asked.
”Nothin’, just here for some dancing time. Anywho, why are ya outside?”
”Dunno, just felt like I needed some air. And here you are. And before you ask, yes, Buffy is inside, and so are Faith and the rest of the gang.”
Willow grinned ”Great.” She stepped out of her car and locked it.
Xander walked Willow to the table where all their friends sat.
”Hey Will, took you long enough to get here.” Buffy said, her arm not moving away from where it was firmly placed, on her girlfriends neck.
”I know. But I saved a life actually, so the round is on me.”
”Bravo Will” Xander cheered ”So, I’m guessing this life you saved is a girl?”
”Yeah. Why?”
The short boy looked at his friend ”Because your smile hasn’t been like that since like for ever. And it can only mean one thing.”
A brown haired girl finished Xander’s sentance ”Willow’s got a serious crush”
