That night Spike was getting ready to head out to the bronze where he was going to have his last show for a while. Spike put on some black jeans, and a red t-shirt that Buffy had got for him. Buffy was also wearing a red top, a some light blue jeans. Buffy was still getting ready, when Spike was down stairs with Joyce, and Dawn they were coming to see him perform tonight too.
Once Buffy was ready they all got into Joyce's car and headed to the Bronze. Spike went backstage with the band, while Buffy went to find her friends. They were all sitting a nearby table, and talking about the band, and Spike's dinner, they were having on his last night in Sunnydale. Buffy didn't want to think about it, but it was coming up fast, no matter how much she hated it. Spike's band was about to go on, and that's when Buffy saw Spike's parents sitting at a table not really showing any emotion. Buffy tried to ignore them, and watched as her boyfriend went up on stage.
"I didn' really expect to go to college at all. Always wished I was strong enough to say no, but it didn' work out like that." Spike said
The crowd laughed loudly
"Well Spike here is like my brother, I may be four years older, but he's the best, and I wish him the best. Tonight's songs are a little different. The first song we wrote together. Its a song about high school, and our futures together." Angel said
"I think it pretty much sums everything up." Spike said as Angel started to play
"Four years you think for sure
That is all you we got to endure
All the total dicks All the stuck up chicks
So superficial, so immature
Then when you graduate You take a look around
and you say HEY WAIT This is the same as where
I just came from I thought it was over
Aw that s just great
The whole damn world is just as obsessed With whose
the best dressed and who s having sex,
Who s got the money, who gets the honeys,
Who s kinda cute and who s just a mess
And you still don t have the right look
And you don t have the right friends
Nothing changes but the faces, the names, and the trends High school never ends
Check out the popular kids
You ll never guess what Jessica did
How did Mary Kate lose all that weight
And Katie had a baby so I guess Tom's straight
And the only thing that matters Is climbing up that social ladder S
till care about your hair and the car you drive
Doesn't matter if you re sixteen or thirty-five
Reese Witherspoon,
She s the prom queen Bill Gates,
Captain of the chess team Jack Black, the clown
Brad Pitt, the quarterback I ve seen it all before
I want my money back
The whole damn world is just as obsessed
With who s the best dressed and who s having sex,
Who s in the clubs and who s on the drugs,
Who s throwing up before they
digest And you still don t have the right look
And you don t have the right friends
And you re still listen to the same shit you did back then
High school never ends
High school never ends
The whole damn world is just as obsessed
With whose the best dressed and who s having sex,
Who s got the money, who gets the honeys,
Who s kinda cute and who s just a mess
And I still don t have the right look
And I still have the same three friends
And I m pretty much the same as I was back then High school never ends
High school never ends
High school never ends
Here we go again"
The crowd applauded loudly, and cheered. Spike said they were going to take a short break and then be back with another song, that he had wrote one day on his own. It was a newer song, so nobody had heard it yet. He wanted to share it with everyone though. It was a shot at his dad while he was writing it but so were a lot of other songs he had written.
The band went back on and looked into the crowd, and Spike saw Buffy smiling up at the stage. Spike smiled back and winked at her.
"Alright this is a song tha' I wrote only a few weeks ago. I have been through a rough time as of late, and this song is just a small part of it." Spike said
He looked out and stared at his father, as he started to play his guitar.
"There you go You're always so right
It's all a big show It's all about you
You think you know What everyone needs
You always take time To criticize me
It seems like everyday I make mistakes
I just can't get it right
It's like I'm the one
You love to hate But not today
So shut up, shut up, shut up
Don't wanna hear it
Get out, get out, get out Get out of my way
Step up, step up, step up
You'll never stop me
Nothing you say today Is gonna bring me down
There you go You never ask why
It's all a big lie Whatever you do
You think you're special But I know,
and I know And I know, and we know
That you're not
You're always there to point
Out my mistakes And shove them in my face
It's like I'm the one You love to hate But not today
So shut up, shut up, shut up
Don't wanna hear it
Get out, get out, get out Get out of my way
Step up, step up, step up
You'll never stop me Nothing you say today
Is gonna bring me down Is gonna bring me down
Will never bring me down
At this point Spike was staring at his father, and glaring. Spike couldn't help the feeling he had, all he wanted to do was jump off the stage and hit his father.
Don't tell me who I should be
And don't try to tell me what's right for me
Don't tell me what I should do
I don't wanna waste my time I'll watch you fade away
So shut up, shut up, shut up
Don't wanna hear it
Get out, get out, get out Get out of my way
Step up, step up, step up You'll never stop me
Nothing you say today Is gonna bring me down
Shut up, shut up, shut up
Don't wanna hear it
Get out, get out, get out Get out of my way
Step up, step up, step up You'll never stop me
Nothing you say today Is gonna bring me down
Bring me down {shut up, shut up, shut up}
Won't bring me down {shut up, shut up, shut up}
Bring me down {shut up, shut up, shut up}
Won't bring me down
Shut up, shut up, shut up"
Spike took the applause and waved to the crowd. He walked off the stage and right to Buffy, he took her in his arms and kissed her. When they broke apart he jsut held her close to him, as close as he possibly could. Spike saw his father coming towards him, and he stared into his eyes and watched as his father pushed pass him to get to the door of the club. Spike scoffed as his father left with out saying a word about it. Spike just ignored it after that, and went back to enjoying the rest of the night with his beautiful girlfriend, and his friends.
