Past, Present, Future

Is that seat taken
Congratulations
Would you like to take a walk with me?

He blinked his eyes, trying to focus them, he heard a faint lilting voice singing softly next to him, on his right, he thinks.

"You're awake, I was worried that you wouldn't wake up." Her voice was an angels come to save him; her blonde hair touched his face as she leaned over him looking at him intently.

"You were so badly, I was surprised you survived at all, let alone that you came out of it, unscathed." She continued; he touched her hair it was so soft against his callused fingers.

"What happened? Where am I?" He wondered out loud.

"I found you leaning against my door, Spike,"

Go away
Make it go away
Please
.

They stood back to back, it was them against everyone. They always fought like this, there was no better, to bad there opponents didn't know that. Spike turned his head and grinning, Vicious returned the look before turning around.

The gun blasts could be heard for blocks.

Spike had been hit more than once, and Vicious had disappeared, he was probably dead, so he crawled to the one place he hoped he would be safe.

Julia.

I came to see the light in my best friend
You seemed as happy as you'd ever been
My chance of being open was broken
And now you're Mrs. him.

"Vicious." She spoke quietly.

"I know you know where he is. Finish it Julia, for us." He touched her face briefly.

"I can't." She murmured.

"You can." He replied, he kissed her cheek, she moved away appalled by him.

"Do it or I'll do it for you, then you'll be next." He told her, his cruel features contorted in rage. She watched him leave before she moaned deep inside herself and cried.

My heart, my pain won't cover up
You left me..
My heart
My heart won't take this cover up
You left me..

"Leave with me Spike." Julia whispered; he nodded.

"Yes, I just need to do one more thing, then I'll come for you." He told her; she looked up at him, begging him with her eyes not to go.

"I have to."

And I can't this
I can never take this back
But now I can't change your mind
can't change your mind

"Spike!" He looked at the gun that she pointed at him.

"So, you're the one."

"Spike," her hands were shaking as she held the gun.

"Leave with me Spike."

"So what wasn't a lie?" Spike asks.

"Everything." Julia replied; she shot past his head, he turned around and looked at the body that fell over.

She hastily shoved the gun her pocket and looked at him with remorse, "This isn't supposed to be how it is." She whispered before running away, in the rain.

Spike found himself running away, if only to find her again, he loved her, she was his past, and he has hoped that she would be his future as well. Maybe, no they would meet again, and they would be together, he was sure, or naïve, but he wasn't willing to admit that.
