Jack sighed, heading towards the waiting room and glad it wasn’t his girlfriend.
Cass was laid out on her bed, painfully conscious. Her wrists were bandaged but hidden under the sheets and she was trying to sleep but the pain and the chemicals made it difficult.

Xander knocked once before going in. "Cassie...." his voice was thick, like he was trying to keep from crying.

“f**k.” Cass let out the word like a breath, glancing at Xander and then away. Nothing was going the way she’d planned. “Did you pass Jack on your way in?”

"No." Xander lied to protect his friend. "I asked a nurse where you were."

“So much for patient confidentiality.” Cass sighed heavily, glancing at him out of the corner of her eye. She winced, closing her eyes. “This a social call or do you want something?”

"What did I do, Cassie...?" Xander sighed, closing the space between himself and the bed

“Well, if I tell you, how’re you gonna learn your lesson?” Cass asked softly, but not because she had a choice in the matter.

"Tell me what I did..." Xander said gently, brushing some hair off her forehead.

“Bugger off.” Cass pulled away from him, only to settle back down in the exact same spot. “I’m trying to die here.”

"You can't die, Cass..." Xander said, a little miserably. "You can't leave me...."

“You’re so f**k**g selfish.” Cass sighed, turning towards him. “I’ve been here, if you haven’t noticed, and I’m done.”

"Everyone's selfish..." Xander said with a small smile. "But... you're strong enough, Cass. Stronger than anyone else I know. You can make it..."

“No, Xand-“ Cass managed a small grin, a failed attempt to laugh. “I don’t want to make it. Look-“ Her right arm moved, tugging at the sheets, her left arm was on huge bruise from the elbow down. “The veins are gone, they’d have to cut it off.”
She shook her head. “I’m done, Xander. I’m tired.” She closed her eyes.

"No!" Xander snapped, shaking his head. "No. Cass, don't leave me.... Why are you doing this?"

“What’d you need me for?” Cass tilted her head towards him but didn’t open her eyes. “You’ve got your pet werewolf to play with.”

"She's not a pet anything." Xander said indignantly. "She's a friend, she's pack, and she's been hurt."

Cass didn’t respond, she was too busy trying to sleep even though she disagreed with three fourths of what he said and desperately wanted to tell him so.

Xander sighed, sitting down on a chair by the bed, very close to ehr. "He didn't move any more, didn't touch her, just sat there.
