Rating:PG maybe PG-13 for swearing.
It was the summer after her death, they couldn't stop replaying the accident in their minds, thinking it was their faults. Spike had never seen Dawn so crushed in his time in this bloody hell hole, even when her mum died, she wasn't this crushed. The summer didn't seem right, it was because she was gone. They both knew that she was the reason summer was fun, but since she died Sunnyhell was the most depressing place on the face of the planet. But they couldn't do a thing about it, they couldn't change what happened three months ago up top that tower. They hadn't talked to the scoobies since her Wake, they couldn't, it'd be too painful.
Dawn had gotten worried about Spike, so she checked in on him, he was in her room, Dawn didn't really care so she let him, she was the most important thing to him, but as soon as Dawn walked in the room she saw the most scariest sight, Spike was an inch from staking himself.
"Spike, no!" She pleaded '"You can't do this, I need you!!"
"No you don't, I'm useless!!" He retorted.
"Spike how can you say that? You have been there for me all summer, you've talked me out of suicide!"
"Dawn, Buffy was the only reason I stayed in the soddin' hell hole, I made a promise, and I have kept that promise. Why can't you have the scoobies take care of you?" Spike was now at the point of crying.
"Spike, don't you get it? Why do you think Buffy would tell you of all people to protect me and care for me if she died? Because she loved you."
Spike, for the first time in his undead life was now speechless. He couldn't believe what Dawn had just said, Buffy loved him? But he was so sure she had hated him, she trusted him yes, but he would have never in his entire life thought she would love him.
"Dawn, are you sure she loved me?"
"Yes, when my mom died she was crying and she yelled at Xander for being a jerk to you. She said ,' Dawn this is to hard for me I need Spike here, I need him. He was right I do feel something for him and right now I'm not going to deny it.'"
"Wow, I can't believe it. Buffy really did love me, she was pretty good at hiding it." Spike looked pretty shocked.
It was now eleven o'clock, Dawn headed to her room to go to bed for the night. Spike just watched her walk out of his room. After about an half an hour Spike went out patrolling, he made sure all the doors and windows were locked so nothing could get into the house and get Dawn.
Spike had made his sweeps through town, he now headed to the cemetery to visit Buffy. When he got there, the headstone was smashed and there was up- turned dirt. Spike didn't know wether to yell, scream, or kick everything in sight. So he did all three.
In the trees behind the cemetery, there was a faint sight of blonde hair running through. Spike was worried, he didn't know what was going on. He searched through the cemetery, not quite sure what he was going to find.
"Hey, you stupid sods! Get your arse out here and let me see you!" Spike ran now, checking behind every bush, shrub, and headstone. But of course no avail.
Spike had suddenly heard a sound in the woods, he ran over to see what it was, and was getting ready to give it an uppercut, but saw it was Angel.
"Well, well, well, if it isn't our favourite broody boy"
"Watch it Spike, I'm not in the mood for your stupid little games."
"Whay so mean all of the sudden? You loose that pesky little soul of yours again?"
"No, besides you would know if I had lost it."
"So peaches, what brings you to little'ol Sunnyd? Don't you have some little business to be tending to?," Spike teased
"Cordy and the others have it under control, what's it to you anyways? You wanna try and kill me again?," Angel replied so quickly Spike couldn't think of a come back that fast.
"Why ask so many questions? If I wanted to kill you, I would've done it a long time ago."
"I'm sure you would've," Angel retorted.
"So soul-boy, why are you here?," now it was Spike's turn to ask the questions.
"Well, Willow told me that she did a resurrection spell, and she wanted me to see if Buffy had risen yet, that good enough for you?"
Spike just stared at Angel blankly, stunned and speechless for once when talking to Angel, geez what was it with people tonight? Did they want to make him speachless all the time? Spike just thought of the slight flash of blonde hair he saw just before Angel had shown up, could it have been Buffy? He didn't know. Without a word Spike ran into the woods and tried to find Buffy, calling her name, climbing trees, and looking out into the night.
Angel had no idea what Spike was doing, nor what he was going to do, but as soon as he heard Spike yell Buffy's name he ran after him looking for her as well.
She heard them calling her name, but she didn't know where they were, all she knew was that they were looking for her, Buffy, The Chosen One. All she knew was to run to their voices returning their screams.
They both heard her call Spike's name at the same time, but it wasn't Spike who felt hurt or happy. It was Angel. She had actually called his childe's name for help.
*It's two o'clock in the morning and Spike still wasn't back from patrolling, where is he? why isn't he back here protecting me from all the big bad's in this stupid town?* Dawn didn't know. *Maybe he's talking to Buffy like he usually does. Or maybe he's getting some more blood from Willie.*
She kept running to the voices, but they seemed so far away, almost like she couldn't run to them. "Spike!!!! Spike!! Run to me, I can't find you!!," Buffy screamed out so Spike could hear her and come to her rescue.
She couldn't find him, now what was he going to do? "Buffy! Where are you luv? I need you to tell me where you are before I can find you."
Buffy had heard Spike call to her once again. She kept running into the woods. Buffy had just spotted a clearing, she still ran to it, but something had stepped in front of her, it was a tall dark man.
"Spike, I found her!" Angel yelled, "Buffy, it's okay, we found you and we're gonna take you home."
"W-who are you?" Buffy managed to stutter.
"Buffy, don't you remember me? I'm Angel. We were dating for three years, but I went to L.A. with Cordelia and Wesley."
"N-no I don't remember you, but I do remember Cordy and Wesley."
"Buffy, oh thank god, I was getting worried about you." Spike replied happily.
Buffy stared at Spike lovingly, she couldn't get over how sexy he looked. With his bleached hair, rippling abbs, chiselled cheak bones, and those ice blue eyes, how could a girl not want him?
"Buffy, what do you mean you don't remember me? We loved each other for three years, I broke your heart, although you might not wanna remember that. But, Buffy, please, you have to remember something about me."
"I'm sorry, uhh...Angel right? I don't remember anything about you, I remember Cordelia, we went to high school together, and Wesley was my watcher for about a year and a half." Buffy had replied politely.
Angel had noticed the ring he'd given her for her 17th birthday was on her hand. Not knowing what to do, he asked her where she got the ring.
"Buffy, where did you get that ring? It looks like the one I gave you for your 17th birthday."
Buffy stared down at her hand, she didn't know what he was talking about, Spike had given her the ring, Spike was there in her life for five years. she didn't know this vampire named Angel, she didn't want to know him.
