"I love you", she said it with tears in her eyes. She just couldn't believe
that, now that she admitted it to herself, to Spike and to the rest of the
world that she loved him, he was going to leave her.
He interrupted her train of thought by saying:" I know... But you have to
go... You have to go on living... So one of us is living..." at the last
part they smiled because he had said that to her just last year... but it
seemed an eternity away...
She wanted to fight him but she knew he had to stay there... knew he had to
give his life... but she didn't need to like it, did she?
He pushed her in the direction of the caves' exit and smiled one last time
at her... Then she began to run... She didn't want to... She wanted to
stay... But someone was telling her to wake up... Was calling her name and
telling her she should wake up... That it was just a dream...
***
And she woke... With tears running down her face and a concerned looking
Dawn at her side who didn't know for what or for who Buffy was crying. She
didn't know that Buffy was crying for something that had happened six
months ago.
For her listening to her mortal enemy and running.
Running to the people who didn't care for him. Who didn't care if he lived
or died. And he was dead... If he had lived they would have left together.
But now she was all alone again... And he wouldn't come back... Couldn't
come back...
Her sister had been the most understanding one of them... but only because
she had once felt something like love or at least friendship for him. For
Spike... for William... But even she didn't know...
Didn't know that Buffy loved him and dreamt of his death every time she
closed her eyes...
Her other 'friends' didn't even know that every night she woke with tears
running down her face now... Because it had been like that for the last six
months... They hadn't been there to see her cry...
Their reactions to Spike's death had actually not really surprised her.
But they had hurt...
Most of all Giles'... He had been happy and asked if anyone wanted a drink
on the happy occasion of William's death... Even Xander hadn't said
something like that... He had just said that now they had at least one
vampire less to worry about, but Buffy thought it was just because Anya had
died too... Willow didn't say anything. Just held Kennedy in her arms and
smiled faintly. Probably happy that Spike and not Kennedy had died... Dawn
had been the one to show emotions that said that she would miss him. She
had cried. For him... For the one person that really cared for her
sister...
Buffy and Dawn had then left Giles and the others behind. They went to
their father, asking him if they could live with him. In LA... But then
Angel came visiting and all Buffy wanted to do was leaving the city of
Angels. She just couldn't see another vampire with a soul and not be
reminded of Spike...and her decision of him being her Champion.
Of her decision to let him die...
They had left the next day... Now they were in a small town near Los
Angeles and had a house bought by their father. Dawn was going to the local
High School and Buffy was still 'the Slayer'. She went out at night,
patrolled and came back very late, then she would go to sleep. And dream of
Spike and her being together, but then it would change to the last time she
saw him... and she would wake up... crying like a small child left alone in
the dark.
And it happened every night. That night which would change her life
forever, too. That night when she got a call from Angel. Asking her to come
back to LA.... because he had to show her something... She didn't really
want to go but asked Dawn if she wanted to... And she liked the idea...So
they drove to Los Angeles to visit an old friend...
***
When they arrived Angel was waiting for them. Or was he just sitting there
for no reason? Well, he didn't seem like there was a new apocalypse on it's
way to LA, but you never knew with Angel... He didn't even seem to be
brooding... which always seemed to be an indication for him being happy or
for him being extremely concerned like when there was an apocalypse to
come. But he didn't say anything to them... Just led them up to one of the
many bedrooms in the Hyperion...
But what Buffy saw when Angel opened the door to the room was the one thing
she thought she would never see again...
