~2 hours and 23 mintues after hanging up on Wesley~
Fred exited the bus slowly clinging to the guard rail fearing she was going to tumble out. She tried to smile and wave to the bus driver but the action came out shaky and odd which was fine because the bus driver was trying his best to ignore her. As the bus pulled away Fred attempted to examine her surroundings, her vision had blurred so much all she could make out was the waiting bench and a pay phone. She sluggishly made her way to the pay-phone clinging tightly to the coat, she felt like she was freezing. She slipped some change out of her pocket and dialed Wesley's number. This time she was only worried about what she would say when he asked her where she was, because other then bus stop pay-phone she had no clue...

"That's a very interesting..." His phone rang again. He stayed quiet and let it ring a few more times before he pulled it out. He looked at the number and then he answered it. Though he already knew who it was. "Hello?"

"Wes." Fred was very glad to hear his voice again. "It's Fred, I'm in Sunnydale..." She let her voice trail off, a wave of nervousness wash over her, she felt like a child calling to ask her mother to pick her up from school because she had the flu.

"Which bus stop are you at? What street is it on?" Wesley said as a strange scared feeling suddenly washed over him. He looked at Samantha and realized she wasn't really paying attention. But for some reason that didn't make him feel any better.

"I..." Fred's voice shook as she spoke, "I... I don't know." panic swept over her. "I don't know." Before she knew it tears began falling down her cheeks.

"Fred. It's okay... Shhh...Shh." Wesley said soothingly. "What buildings are you standing next to? Tell me what's around you." His heart started to pound. Something wasn't right he felt it in his gut.

The panic got worse as she tried to see any distinguishing features of the buildings around her. "Umm..." trying so hard to focus was giving her a splitting head ache. "I can't tell." she whispered forlornly into the phone. "I can't see them..."

"You can't see them..." Wesley started silently panicking. He stood up. "Fred... Did something happen to you?" He hadn't considered that it might be her in trouble. "Samantha. Do you know the bus route from LA to here?" Wesley looked at her.

Wesley started back to his car. "Fred we know where you are. We're coming to you." Wesley said as he hung up the phone and got in the car himself. "God I hope she's alright." His hands were shaking but he managed to start the car.

"I..." She tried to formulate her thoughts, but the more she tried the more her head hurt. She hugged the jacket closer to her, for comfort or for warmth her mind was to jumbled to even question it. "I didn't think it would get this bad... I thought I would have enough time..." she tried to reason aloud. "I'm in trouble, Wes." she finally sobbed

"There she is!" Samantha stated seeing her as they turned the corner. Before the car even stopped she jumped out scrapping her knee and running to Fred. Of course she'd worried a little herself. "Are you alright Fred? You seem really upset." Samantha stated not being as uncomfortable as she always was around Fred. She hadn't even noticed her dirty, bleeding leg and the new hole in her pants.

Wesley after stopping the car jumped out and ran to her side. "Fred. Are you alright? Look at me." He placed his hands on either side of her face to look her in the eyes. "Fred." He couldn't hide his fear anymore.

Fred look lazily up at Wesley. "You came." She smiles. Her eyes are cloudy, her focus shifting almost constantly, a thin almost undetectable blue film has begun to cover her eyes. "Somethings wrong with me." she says and a few more tears slip out of her eyes. "I didn't know who else to go to."
Fred does not look good, her hair sticks up at odd ends, her face is pale and her eyes are red and puffy. She is wrapped up in Wesley's tan jacket, underneath a hint of a red sweater can be seen, grey sweat pants and a pair of flip flops finish her hastily thrown together look. Even for Fred it is an odd choice of outfits.

"Fred you need to tell me what happened." Wesley said trying to stay calm. "Fred." Wesley tried to get through to her. "Samantha get Giles on the phone."

Samantha gave an extremely uncomfortable and extremely unhappy look walking away without a word and getting on her phone. Samantha called Giles house anger and unpleasant. "Pick up the phone Giles!" She said into it standing further away from the two. She was going to be rather rude, he could go off and favor Buffy after helping Fred.....Now that happy mood melted into misery once more....
