Chapter 2
[reviews]
My mom shows up in a matter of minutes, while the gang shows up about 20 minutes later, rushing out of the elevator to my direction. Xander and Giles give me a quick hug before the information is given. "She woke up, but she didn't know who I was." That's when I lose it. All of these years I've been worried about losing her, now could be that time. Mom comes up from behind me and holds me again while I cry. They all knew my fear, and now it's happening.
A nurse comes over to us. "Willow is very confused and it seems she might have amnesia, but would like to speak to Xander Harris."
Xander steps forward following the nurse. He turns and gives us all a big smile looking in my eye he speaks. "It's going to be ok." Continuing to her room he leaves us. I only hope that he can help give us all our Willow back, or at least part of her.

I want to hide. I don't know where I am, but I want to hide. Where am I? Why am I here? Tears stream down my face as I try and hide behind my hands. I hear the door open, but I don't want to look. I don't want to be here. I want to be back where I was, wherever that is.
"Wills," I know that voice.
"Xander?" Moving my hands I see him, but wow he's much older. What happened? I don't like this, not one bit.
He walks closer to the bed and sits on the edge. Gently, covering my hand with his. "Hey, how are you feeling?"
"I don't know. What's going on? Where am I?"
"Wills, you're in the hospital, you were in an accident. You've been in a coma for three weeks."
"Three weeks? Oh no, I have so much homework to do. Did you get all my homework from my teachers?" He's laughing, why is he laughing?
"Will, its summer, you don't have school."
"Cool, summer. I love summer. So that's why you look so much older, and taller. I better start working on projects for next year, sophomore year, wow! I'm gonna be helping Jenny out with some computer projects." What happened? He looks really worried now. Oh no did I say something wrong? "I mean school, pooie."
"Uh, Wills. I'm going to tell you something really important. You need to try and stay calm ok?" I can't speak. I'm scared. Something is really wrong? I simply nod since words don't seem to want to work right now. "Ok, Wills you have amnesia. You are 19 right now. You still live right here in Sunnydale. Our gang has gotten a little bigger. Breathe Wills, breathe." His arms are now around me. He's still so warm, but much stronger. I'm so confused. I still don't know what has happened between the end of Freshman year up to now.
Catching my breath I regain my thoughts. "When do I get to go home? Where is home?"
"You have another friend, her name is Buffy. Buffy and her mother are going to take care of you, that's what your parents asked them to do. Is that ok with you?"
"So they know me?" A simple nod of his head. "Was that girl in here her?" He's smiling and nodding, double duo. "Will you come over?"
"Of course." He hugs me again before he stands up. "Well, would you like to re-meet Buffy and Ms. Summers?" I should, considering I'll be living with them. I nod to him and he opens the door. "Its going to be ok Wills, I promise."
