The days were passing by and it was almost Christmas. Angel still hadn't bought Buffy a gift yet. 'What do you get for a girl that you love?' Angel was still in his thoughts when his sister, Faith entered the room.
"So Angel, what plans do you have with B? Does it include you and her exchanging bodily fluids?"
"What?! Are you out of your mind? I love Buffy and it's none of your business if her and I exchange bodily fluids."
"Ouch. Excuse me. I'll leave you."
"You do that." He didn't mean to get angry with his sister, but she was pushing his buttons and he had to answer her. If Faith only knew what happened to Buffy and maybe then she wouldn't be acting like a bitch.

Buffy on the other hand had brought Angel's gift already. It was an Art book of his favorite artist Van Gogh. She knew for sure that he'd love it. She could always tell how passionate he was for Art because she noticed it in class. While she was wrapping up her gift for Angel, her mother, Joyce entered the room.
"Buffy, can I talk to you?"
"Sure Mom. What's up?" Joyce was a bit concerned about her only daughter Buffy. She hasn't been herself since the rape and has been distant with everyone except Angel. Whenever Angel would call her she'd smile and be happy, but afterwards she'd close up again. Joyce would never know what it's like being raped, but could see the pain and frustration her daughter would get all the time if Parker Abrams crossed her mind.
"How are you feeling?"
"I'm fine." What she wanted was for everyone to ask her how she was. The truth of the matter is that she wasn't fine. She had no idea when she'd be fine again. Though talking with Angel every night before she went to bed helped eased her pain.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, Mom. I'm fine and besides Christmas is around the corner. Tis the season to be jolly."
"Okay, I'll leave you alone. Just try to not think too much about what happened."
"Okay."

Parker Abrams was thrilled with his triumphant conquest with Buffy Summers. He figured that she had gotten some action already with Angel, but then again Angel wasn't always too quick to get with a lady. As Parker was pondering on the accomplishment of banging Buffy, his father Michael came with the police to his room.
"What's with the cops Dad?"
"Son, they said that you raped a young woman. Is it true?"
