Disclaimer: The character Kellie belongs to me and all references to "Close Your Eyes" do too (read it, it's a great story, or so I've been told) Lyrics to "Cry" also don't belong to me, or any parts where it's used in the story

A/N: I guess this story would classify as AU because of the whole Kellie/Spike thing. It basically takes place during the middle of "Close Your Eyes," after Kellie officially got with Spike. Told from Kellie's POW

Another A/N: In "Close Your Eyes" (if you haven't read it), Kellie and Spike have a big fight and she leaves him; this story sort of came about as a What If. What If Kellie saw Spike 'cry' after she left him?

"In Your Eyes"

By SparkingDiamond



I don't know why, exactly, Buffy told me to stay away from you; or why Darry told me that you were basically one of the worst things ever to walk the planet. Maybe it was true, before, when I first met you. You seemed evil, but I wasn't sure because you seemed to care so much about my problems; you were the only one who cared.

I'll always remember the day I met you, I was so upset at Darry and everyone else; but, you made me feel so much better. I knew from the moment I saw you that I was destined to love you. Maybe that was the real reason I came to Sunnydale, not to find Darry but to be with you.

When you told me about everything that had happened to you since you became a vampire, and before, you didn't seem to be the evil thing that Buffy made you out to be. I just wanted to know more about you; know more about everything that makes you upset so I would always know what was wrong with you.

I thought that everything was going perfectly and then you told me that 'things might not work out.' I hated you at that moment, I couldn't believe it. But, when I ran into the house, I thought I saw a tear at the corner of your eye. Even though I hated you, I knew that I was still meant to be with you. I knew that, the moment that I saw you cry. I saw forever in your eyes and it made it impossible to hate you; I wanted to be with you, but I wouldn't let myself.

But, when you came to comfort me, after we found Kevin was a demon, I knew that you really had feelings for me. I knew that the moment I looked in your eyes; I saw forever in your eyes.

The moment I saw you cry.

//I'll always remember It was late afternoon It lasted forever And ended too soon

You were all by yourself Staring up at a dark gray sky I was changed

In places no one would find All your feelings so deep inside (deep inside) It was then that I realized That forever was in your eyes The moment I saw you cry The moment that I saw you cry

It was late in september And I've seen you before (and you were)You were always the cold one But i was never that sure You were all by yourself Staring at a dark gray sky I was changed

In places no one would find All your feelings so deep inside (deep inside) It was then that I realized That forever was in your eyes The moment I saw you cry

I wanted to hold you i wanted to make it go away I wanted to know you I wanted to make your everything, all right....

I'll always remember...It was late afternoon...In places no one would find...In places no one would find All your feelings so deep inside (deep inside) It was then that I realized That forever was in your eyesThe moment I saw you cry //
