Chapter
One

"Ok,
once more!" Elizabeth's coach yelled across the rink to the two figures on
the far side. "I want those triple axels perfectly in sync before you go,
No no Buffy, your left leg's too low" Elizabeth and Riley returned to positions
to start again. Although the competition was 4 months away and their routine
was yet t put put together, Giles was insisting on timing practices daily to
ensure they moved exactly together. 4 months wasn't a long time and work had to
be done.

When practice was done and Giles had dismissed them, Elizabeth and Riley headed
for the locker rooms. She decided to have a shower since the session had been
hard work.

    "Want me to join you?" Riley asked cocking his
head to the side in what seemed to him a seductive manner.

    "It's ok, I'll be really quick" Elizabeth hurried
of to the showers. Riley looked slightly disappointed but shrugged, he'd get
laid tonight anyway. He followed her and stood outside the cubicle.

    "I'm gonna head off ok?" she shouted her agreement
through the curtain. "But I'll pick you up at 8 tonight, yeah?"

    "What?!" Elizabeth stuck her soapy head out.

    "Clean that soap off your face, I can't talk to you
when you look so ridiculous" She looked a little taken aback but went back
inside. "I'm taking you out to dinner" He said when a rinsed off
Elizabeth looked out. Riley looked pleased with himself.

    "But I'm going out with my friends tonight, you said it
was ok last week" she had been really looking forward to it. She hadn't
seen her friends, properly, for about 2 months.

    "Oh, they won't mind, you see them all the time
anyway" she didn't like this.

    "But I mind" she pulled her head back inside the
shower.

    "8, then" he called and walked out of the room.
She didn't know what to do, if she wasn't at home when he called by he'd be
angry and she didn't want to face that.

15 minutes later Elizabeth emerged from the locker rooms to find a grave
looking Giles waiting for her.

    "Riley's had an accident,� He told her started to walk
outside. Elizabeth followed. Riley was lying on the concrete, blolowilowing
from a large gash on the side of his head, his right leg twisted at a peculiar
angle and several deep cuts decorated his arms. His motorbike laid half on top
of him. Elizabeth rushed to his side, she may not have been in love with him,
but she still cared. Sirens echoed in the distance and they were getting
louder. She turned and looked at Giles who was wringing his hands. Elizabeth
knew she shouldn't move him so she settled for holding the hand that was
outstretched towards her.

The paramedics were soon on the scene and he was rushed to Sunnydale General.
Elizabeth and Giles followed in Giles's car.

Upon arrival at the hospital, they were exasperated to find that as they
weren't family the staffs weren�t allowed to give them any information. It was
4 hours before Mrs Finn brought them up to speed. 4 hours of sitting in that
waiting room, with all the horrible hospital smells and the watery coffee the
nurses offered.

    "Riley, I'm afraid......Oh, I'm sorry" she started
to cry, "He's still in theatre, they won't know anything until they're
finished." Giles patted her shoulder comfortingly. "I don't
understand why he wasn't wearing his helmet" Elizabeth bit her tongue and
looked at Giles. Riley had often said that he looked like a wimp if he wore his
helmet. But Mrs Finn didn't need that right now. "Why don't you two head
home" she struggled to smile "I'll call you as soon as we know
anything"

20 minutes later in the caey pey pulled out onto the open highway. Giles
finally broke the silence.

    "His leg was broken you know"

    "MmmHmm" She replied quietly.

    "Buffy," Only her friends called her that.
"He'll be ok" She didn't reply. "But he won't be fit in time for
the championship"

    "Someone new?" Elizabeth's voice was strange and
it was obvious to Giles that she was upset. "I thought we'd just wait till
next year"

    "If we can get someone else we will" he stated
"You're in top form, you could do really well this year, it's like you
were chosen, you have this talent, you could be the star of your
generation." Buffy was used to Giles impromptu pep talks by now.

    "Ok" she attempted a smile.

    "I'll start making calls as soon as I get home"
Truth be told, Giles thought that talking about skating would take Buffy's mind
off the accident, and his. "We're here"

Elizabeth didn't go out that night, she thought she should stay home and wait
for the call. Her flatmate, Willow offered to stay with her and so they
snuggled up on the sofa and watched the TV. Mrs Finn didn't ring until 10pm.
The good news was that Riley was stable; the bad news was that he was
unconscious and wasn't showing signs of waking up. However, the doctors weren't
worried and said that he'd wake up in a few days or so and be fine, bar the leg
with 5 fractures. After she'd relayed the news to Willow, she said goodnight
and headed for bed. Mrs Finn had said she was welcome to visit as soon as he
woke up.

The next day was Saturday, meaning no training sessions. Later on nearer the
event, they would be practicing everyday bet for now she could sleep in. When
she finally rose, it was around midday and she found the flat was empty. Willow
had left a note on the counter telling her she was spending the day at her
girlfriend, Tara's house, but if Buffy needed anything, she could call her
there. Sitting at the breakfast bar Elizabeth decided to call her friend Faith,
she needed someone to talk to and Faith would listen. She was an old uni friend
who had become a corporate lawyer in town. She picked up the phone and dialled.

    "Hey, it's Buffy, I was wondering if you wanted to grab
a coffee in the park","'Bout an hour","By the square",
"Ok, see you there"

    "I heard, B" was the first thing Faith said
"Although I think he had it coming" She had never liked Riley even
back at UCSunnydale when he used to butt into their conversations with
quips that at the time Elizabeth had found cute. Faith hugged her.

    "Faith!"

    "What? He did. He treats you like shit, your only
allowed to be here now because he's lying in hospital unable to tell you not
to." she knew she was right, but what could she do about it, without him
she was nothing. Then she noticed them and dropped her coffee causing the hot
liquid to spray a half metre radius around them. "B, What's wrong?"
Elizabeth pointed with a slightly shaking hand across the square. Her father
was sitting on a bench on the other side of the cleared area with none other
than Harmony Kendle sitting on his lap, and they were kissing. She couldn't
look. She had known he was having an affair, but with Dawn's best friend. It
just wasn't right, she was barely 18. Just then, he looked up and a flash of
panic crossed his face and he stood up, causing Harmony to fall over and end up
sprawled on the floor. Faith smirked. Liam walked over.

    "Lizzie...I..."

    "I don't want to hear it, Dad, and don't call me
that" she spun and walked away. Faith followed.

    "Lizzie!" Liam called after her, she turned.

    "Don't worry I won't say anything" and she
wouldn't, what would be the point? Dru only stayed with him for the money.
Sometimes she wished she could just get away from it all. The competition would
have taken her away from home for a couple of weeks (2 weeks with Riley mind,
but 2 weeks none the less) But that looked doubtful now, didn't it?

    "Hey B you ok?"

    "Yeah, I'll be fine" The pair separated at the
edge of the park and Buffy headed towards the Mall. Some retail therapy was
just what she needed right now.
