Someone's thinking about Spike when he doesn't come back after the end of the series.

Hindsight


He's not coming back.

That thought hit her over and over again as she stood staring at the hole Sunnydale once was.

He was really gone.

They had won the battle, but knowing of the loss they had suffered, to her the war seemed to be lost.

He was gone.

Spike.

He proved once again, that he was more than any of them gave him credit for, he once again put them all too shame.

She swallowed back tears as the memories of moments they shared washed over her. Too many times he was there for her, even when she wasn't even aware of it then.

Hindsight was such a bitch.

She saw so much in him now that she never dreamed of when he was still there.

She smiled to herself, biting her lip to keep herself from crying out.

She could have loved him. Should have loved him.

He was worth it.

If only she had of had a chance to let him know.

He was really worth it.

But, now, he was gone and was not coming back.

She wished for just a moment, that she could join him.

"Willow," Kennedy called, pulling her from her thoughts, "We have to go."

The witch nodded, pausing a moment, seeing something at the bottom of the crater that made her smile for real.

The amulet.

He may be gone, but she was a witch.

He would come back. And he would be loved. She would see to both.


There is no end because vampires have already died.
