"Don't go," she pleaded. But he left anyway.
Previously: After finally getting Spike back in her life, Amy is forced to watch him leave again. How will this affect her?
From the moment the blonde vampire left the Hyperion, time seemed to stand still for the broken-hearted teenage girl. And when time wasn't frozen, it seemed to pass by that much slower, causing her heart to ache that much more.
Going back to school, the days seemed to drag on as she sat in class. The clock was ticking so slow that it seemed to go backwards. She couldn't seem to focus on anything.
What day is it
And in what month
This clock never seemed so alive
I can't keep up and I can't back down
I've been losing so much time
Opening her locker, she saw a picture of her and Spike taped to the inside of her locker. The picture had been taken in a photo booth just 3 days after he had shown back up at the Hyperion and back in her life.
Cause there's you and me
And all of the people with nothing to do
Nothing to lose
Shutting her locker, she leaned against it, watching her classmates walk through the crowded halls. It broke her heart when she saw several couples talking. What was even worse was when she saw someone re-sticking a poster that had fallen. The poster was for the Halloween dance. 'Spike and I were supposed to do something for Halloween.' She thought. Every time she closed her eyes, she still pictured Spike in her mind.
And it's you and me
And all of the people
And I don't know why
I can't keep my eyes off of you
It had been two weeks since Spike had stormed out of the Hyperion. Cordelia knocked on the bedroom door of her daughter's room before opening it and walking in. Sitting down on the foot of the bed, she saw her daughter's face. "Amy," Cordelia said.
"I'll be okay Mom," Amy said, fighting to hold in her tears, but losing the battle as the drops streamed down her face. "I'll be fine once I can get my breath," she told Cordy, her voice shaking. Then she slumped over from her sitting position, her head falling into her mother's lap. "I can't breathe Mom." She sobbed, her body shaking. "It feels like I can't breathe." She was barely able to get out the words as she cried, Cordy running her fingers through her daughter's hair. Amy had been abandoned by the only person she ever truly loved.
Outside his daughter's room, the words Angel heard Amy speak hit him hard. Even though his daughter didn't realize it, they were the same words Buffy had spoken after Angel had broken up with her. Angel knew then, he had to do something. So he left the hotel and went to make things right.
A/N: Song used is "You and Me" by Lifehouse.
