Chapter 2

What's Going On?

"Spike… Don't… not here" Buffy whispered between kisses. Spike didn't seem to listen though, he carried her upstairs, into her room and loudly shut the door. He set her down on the bed gently and started undressing her while kissing her.

Ring… Ring… Ring…

"Hello?" Dawn answered the phone half-asleep.

"Hey"

"R.J?"

"Yeah, it's me"

"What's up? Wait… What time is it?"

"It's around 10, Dawn, I have to talk to you, can you meet me at the graveyard?"

"Spike, you're hurting me! Spike stop, stop!" "Yeah, it's better than listening to my sister have sex, I'll see you there"

"Okay"

Dawn took off her boxers and put some leather pants on. "Shit" She said while grabbing the edge of her bed to keep from falling. "Maybe I just need a cold shower" She told herself while changing shirts. She put her boots on, grabbed her leather jacket and climbed out the window. "To the graveyard we will go."

"Get out Spike! Just get out!" Buffy pushed Spike off of her and wrapped herself around in the covers. "I don't want you near me, I don't want you touching me. Don't you get it? I want you gone" Spike grabbed his clothes and put his duster on, taking his clothes on one arm. He slammed the front door and headed to his crypt. Buffy cuddled up in the corner and started crying, she didn't know why she couldn't make Spike stop, she just didn't know why…

"Baby, you here?" Asked Dawn while walking in R.J's dark crypt.

"Yeah, I'm back here" His voice called out from the dark. "Come on, I want you to meet someone"

Dawn made her way to the back section of the crypt, kinda felt a little uncomfortable, but she had been working out with Buffy and knew how to take care of herself. She knew that R.J was a vamp, but she didn't mind, she knew he would never hurt her.

"Who did you want me to…" Dawn suddenly stopped talking as soon as she saw an old familiar face.

"Hey Dawnie, miss me much?"

"Marilee?" Dawn couldn't believe it, her ex-best friend, here, now, and WITH R.J

"Actually, it's Lee-Lee now, hun"

"You two know each other?" R.J asked but was ignored

"What are you doing with my boyfriend?" Asked Dawn.

"Boyfriend?" Lee-Lee looked at R.J, "When were you planning to tell me?"

R.J was really confused and he wasn't planning on telling Lee-Lee anything, he was hoping she'd just be here for a couple of days and then leave. He didn't know that her and Dawn knew each other.

"I hadn't really thought about it" He answered after spacing out. "Now how do you two know each other again?"

"We were best friends when we were in Jr. High, but then she started hanging out with the bad people, and dropped out"

"Dawn that is so not true, k? Get the facts sweetie. You were way too boring and hung out with the nerds; and I didn't drop out, I died"

Dawn stood there shocked and watched Lee-Lee vamp out. All those memories faded and she automatically got a stake out.

"Oh, you're gonna stake me now? After all we went through, you're just gonna stake me? It's not my fault your boyfriend had to call me because you're not good enough" Said Lee-Lee while flipping her beautiful red hair.

Dawn looked at R.J and took off running. She didn't want him to see how bad he hurt her, she didn't want to give 'Lee-Lee' the satisfaction of seeing her cry. Now she was alone in the graveyard, running from her boyfriend and her ex-best friend, she felt stupider then ever; but she would've felt worse if she had stayed. She slowed down and started walking. Why run anymore?

"Dawn?"

"Spike? What are you doing here?" She said looking at him weirdly.

"I'm headin' home lil' bit, now wot's your answer?"

"Same thing"

"Where from? And why are you dressed like that?"

"A crypt and can we please stop with the questions?"

Spike then realized that she had been crying, but he didn't wanna say anything to embarrass her.

"Yeah, I'll see you around then" He said and started walking off again.

"Bye" She replied and headed home.

Once Dawn got home she went straight to the shower, she felt so dirty and so used. She went straight to bed after her shower, she didn't wanna know about anything right then. She didn't even want to exist.
