The Unexpected

Chapter 1 – How it all began

"Buffy!!! Buffy, this isn't funny anymore! Give it back, I bought it! Buffy!" The two girls landed on the couch. Both of the two girls laughed loudly enough, so they didn't hear the doorbell. Then...

"Hey Dawn, why won't you go see who's at the door?" But Dawn shook her head.

"Not until I get my picture back! Buffy, come on!" Buffy just laughed, while holding the picture of Dawn with a guy of her age. She was embracing him, while he kissed her left cheek.

"Go see who's at the door! Maybe it's one of your secret admirers!" Dawn raised her eyebrows, but she went to the door. When she had opened the door, she looked back at Buffy.

"More likely one your secret admirers, Buffy!" Buffy laughed, even though she had no idea what Dawn was talking about. When Buffy also walked to the door, she knew exactly what Dawn meant.

"Buffy..."

"Spike..." Dawn stared at both Buffy and the blonde haired vampire. Neither Buffy nor Spike broke their eye contact. Dawn glared at Spike. She despited him for what he did to Buffy.

"I guess I'll leave you two alone for a while..." Dawn left and neither of them said a thing. Then, Buffy broke their silence.

"What are you doing here, Spike..." Then suddenly, Buffy's eyes concentrated on the large bag Spike was carrying. Spike noticed, what Buffy was looking at and that was also when Buffy looked up again at Spike.

"You're.... leaving?" Spike stared at Buffy for a while. Spike didn't know what to say.

' I only wanted to see her for the last time and say goodbye. That's enough for me.'

"Yeah, I.... I'm going away from Sunnydale. I..." But Spike already got cut off by Buffy.

"Is it because of last time..... when.... you tried......" Spike quickly looked down.

"Buffy, I just want to leave Sunnydale. I just came here for goodbye." Buffy was left speechless. She remembered what happened last time when Spike tried to rape her like yesterday. It hurt Buffy's feelings. She never would have thought that Spike would do a thing like that. After that incident, they hadn't speak to each other for a while, until just then when he stood right in front of her. Buffy found it hard to find the right words to say.

"Are you..... coming back?" Buffy's voice seemed to be trembling, but Spike didn't notice anything of it. He just simple shook his head and smiled.

"No, I won't come back anymore. I will leave Sunnydale forever. So you won't have me anround anymore. No one to...." Spike remembered the whole incident as well. It hurt him as well. Though he was a vampire, he couldn't deny that he didn't love Buffy. He loved her, he really did. She was everything to him, but he showed her that in the wrong way that night. Both of them stared at each other again. Although Spike tried to hide his sadness in his eyes for Buffy, Buffy saw it. In Spike's eyes, she could feel his pain and sadness.

'I'm supposed to hate him. What he did last time, was.... horrible. But now I see him standing here in front of me, all I want to do is... is embrace him! What am I supposed to do? God, I'm so afraid. I'm afraid of what will happen next. Does he really have to go? Can't he stay? Do we really need to say goodbye?'

"Buffy! I made some meal I bought at the supermarket. The "You-Can-Do-It-Youself-In-5-Minutes". It's almost ready..." Dawn yelled from the kitchen.

"Yeah, I'll be right up!" Then, Buffy looked at Spike again. Again there fell a deep silence, until Buffy asked: "Do you want to eat with us, before you go? We have extra. I can make you one, if you want. They're really...."

"No, Buffy. I... I don't eat that stuff. Vampire remember?" Buffy felt silly. She totally forgot about the fact, that Spike was a vampire. But Buffy didn't want Spike to leave.

"Besides, I really need to go now. I still got to arrange a few things and I'll be leaving tomorrow night." Buffy's eyes widened.

"You're.... leaving so soon?! But why?!" Spike didn't reply at once. He looked up at the stars and said:

"What I did was wrong, Buffy. I'm not asking for your forgiveness, but I do ask you not to forget our good times together. The times I was really enjoying life for the first time. You changed my life forever and I thank you for that. Will you remember me and remember the memories we share about those times of us together? Everytime you look at the stars above, remember me, remember those memories..." Buffy looked up as well. Above her, she saw beautiful stars floating here and there all around her. Glistening so bright. Buffy smiled and then she looked back at......Spike?

"Spike? Spike!" Buffy looked around her, but she saw no one. He left... He left for good.....

"Buffy? Buffy, aren't you coming inside? Buffy?" Finally, Buffy turned around. She saw her younger sister standing in front of the door and then stared above her again. Dawn saw Buffy sitting on the sidewalk and Dawn knew that it had something to do with Spike. When Spike left, Buffy just sat at the sidewalk for an hour and a half staring above her. Gazing at the stars.

"Buffy? Are you ok? Is it Spike... you're worried about?" Buffy nodded, without looking at Dawn. Suddenly, Buffy's head began to spinn. Her head hurted like flames dancing inside her head. She had this going on for a while. Lately, her head began to spinn, whenever she was under a lot of stress. She didn't know what it was and Dawn saw it. Dawn was worried about her sister.

"Buffy, now you really got to go see the octor. I mean, it's better for you to go to the doctor tommorrow." Buffy slowly gained control again. She became calmer and took deep breaths.

"No, I don't need to go see the doctor. I mean, I'm alright... It's nothing...." Dawn became a bit angry.

"Yeah, it's nothing. Except, that you have headaches several times, intense headaches! You vomit a lot... Don't think I didn't hear you these past weeks! You're like, I don't know, like tired to do one single thing! I mean, come on Buffy! This isn't the time to go stubborn. I know I'm.... I'm not mum. But at least, I'm worried about you! You're not even worried about your own health!" Buffy thought about it. She knew that Dawn was right, but she didn't feel like seeying the doctor. She had better things to do, like slaying vampires and all the other creatures.

"Alright, I'll go... only if you stop this subject at once...."

"I'm just... worried about you, that's all..." Buffy smiled.

"I know you are, honey..." Buffy stood up and placed her arm around Dawn's shoulder.

"Let's go inside, shall we?" Dawn just nodded and smiled back at Buffy.

"Doctor? What are the results?" The doctor slowly walked to his desk and asked Buffy to sit.

"Ms Summers, I have bad news...." Buffy tried to prepare herself for the worse. She had no idea what the doctor was going to say. Buffy clenched her teeth together and squeezed her hands. She saw the doctor taking a deep breath.

"Ms Summers, I have the results of you intense headaches and what me and my colleages have discovered, is that you have cancer. It's brain tumor...."
