Goodbye To You

CHAPTER SEVENTEEN

Buffy was woken by the sound of the door slamming, her first instinct was to wake Spike get him to go check it out. It was the she realized that Spike wasn't there, he never left without telling her. Panicking she grabbed her robe and headed to see what was going on.

She felt that he was not in the house, or even outside having a smoke. Something bad was going on.

Spike never left her, he knew the issues she had about waking up in bed alone what after Angel and Parker. He wouldn't do that to her.

Her eyes found the letter on the table addressed to her in Spike's hand. She saw the box on the table.

'Buffy,

I love you, you need to know that before I tell you anything. I have no soul but I can feel love, please believe me. I never want you to think that what we shared wasn't real.

Something happened after we split up six years ago, I did something to you that can never be forgiven. I tried to make you do something that you didn't want, I don't know why but I did. I hope you understand what I'm talking about because I can't bring myself to write it.

I swear that I only just remember I don't know why I forgot. To painful I guess, same reason you forgot I guess. If I had known I would have never let myself worn my way back into your life.

I am so sorry, yet again I am just a monster, you were right. You should have never let me into your home. But don't worry I won't be back, and if you see me feel free to stake me.

I bought this ring for you, I had all these stupid dreams of being your husband. But I left you the ring, just because I don't want to be reminded.

I am sorry.

Spike'

A tear rolled down her cheek, what if he had gone already. Why didn't he talk to her first? All these things filled her head as she grabbed her coat to go search for him. She hoped that he would still be around somewhere.

She let the door bang behind her as she set off running down the street. She had to find him.

~~~~~~~~~~~

Spike had made his way through a full bottle of whiskey already. After leaving Buffy's he had headed straight to a bar, wanting, no needing to get so drunk he couldn't remember his name.

No one had tried to talk to him and that was a good thing, they would be dead within seconds.

Soon he would leave, go to his crypt pick up his bike and drive off into the night. Good plan he thought. But what would make it even better would be if he could make sure Buffy never saw his sorry arse ever again.

He would drive off a cliff, he would be so badly hurt that he'd he wouldn't realize that the sun was coming up.

That way he could never hurt Buffy again.
