After an hour and Spike not coming back Buffy finally got the attention of one of the nurses. They had given her a note pad so that she could convey what she needed. 'What happened to the guy that was here?' Buffy wrote and the nurse just shook her head. "He left after notifying us that you were awake." Buffy gave the nurse a strange look. Why would Spike just leave like that? But her thoughts were cut off when her mother and friends all came rushing into her room.
"How you feeling?" Willow asked after a few minutes and Buffy shrugged. 'I don't remember what happened.' Buffy wrote on the piece of paper. "What's the last thing you remember?" Giles asked and Buffy thought hard to remember. 'I was at Parker's working on the project for science. I left to go see Spike and that's it.' Buffy then showed the note pad to Giles. "Well you were hit by three cars." Xander said softly. Buffy looked up at him with big eyes. '3!!!!' She wrote on the note pad. "Yeah hon three. But you've had a long day and I think you should rest now. We'll see you tomorrow and the doctor said that you should be able to go home then ok." Joyce said leaning down to kiss her daughter just glad that she was ok. Buffy nodded and watched them all file out still wondering where Spike was. He was the last thing she thought about before drifting off to sleep
"Spike are you here?" Buffy called into the house walking up the stairs towards his room. He didn't answer but she heard a noise and followed in on full slayer mode. "Spike..." Buffy trailed off when she saw Spike making out with Harmony on his bed. Buffy felt the tears prick her eyes but instead of letting them fall she just ran.
"Buffy wait." Buffy heard Spike call from behind her. "I can explain." Spike said grabbing her arm and stopping her. "It's not what.." But he wasn't able to finish because the next thing she knew they were surrounded by vampires and when she glanced at Spike she saw his true face.
Buffy bolted straight up in bed tears pouring down her face.
