Chapter 6 Words of a key.

"We're not all going to make it," Buffy spoke breaking the silence; everyone looked at her even Spike, "So, if there's anything that needs to be said.say it now, because we might not see each other again after this." Xander looked at Spike, "Spike," he forced himself to say, "We both know we can't stand each other, but I just want you to know.I appreciate the things you've done for Buffy, just.thanks." Spike nodded understanding. Buffy smiled at Xander's words. "Buffy," Spike said looking down, "I'm sorry for all the stupid things I've done to you and yours.you always let me back in.and I will always be grateful." He trailed off. "I'm glad I did." she replied. Willow walked over to Xander, "I love you.you saw me, when no one else did.thank you." Tears fell down her cheeks. "I love you too, Will." Xander replied giving her a hug. Willow walked over to Spike, "I'm sorry we didn't give you a chance.everyone deserves a second chance.I should know, I tried to end the world and they forgave me.I'm so sorry for ever distrusting you." "Hey, no worries, Red," he said and smiled slightly. She smiled and then walked over to Buffy with tears streaming down her cheeks. She hugged her. Buffy began to cry too. "I love you so much, you have always been there for me, and you never judged me.when everyone else did." Willow said but had to stop to fight back the tears. "I love you too, Will, you are an amazing person.and an amazing friend." Buffy said. Willow walked back to where she had stood before. Buffy walked over to Giles, "You've been like a father to me, you are my real father in my book." Giles looked down, also fighting back tears, ".Thank you." he managed to say. Dawn walked into the room, "My turn." she said looking around. Buffy nodded not even saying a word about how late it was. "Spike," Dawn said walking over to him, "you've been both a brother and a father to me.you treated me like an adult when everyone else didn't.and I always felt safer with you than anyone else." ".Take that back" he replied joking about a former conversation they had had. Dawn smiled as tears filled her eyes. She walked over to Buffy, "This isn't goodbye, because I'll see you again after this.ok?" Buffy nodded in agreement. "Ok." Dawn said, "I love you, and I want you to know.I couldn't have wished for a better sister.no matter what I've said in the past." "And I couldn't have wished for a better one either.I love you," Buffy replied hugging Dawn. Dawn released after a minute and walked over to Giles, "I don't know what we could've done without you.you've saved my life a lot," Dawn began, "thank you, for all that you've done for me and Buffy." "What would my life be without you two," he replied, "a little dull I dare say." Dawn smiled and turned to Willow and Xander, "I don't think there are words to describe how much I love you two.you have always been there for me and Buffy, thank you." "Hey, no problem, Dawnie," Xander said, "what else do I have to do?" "Hey, come on, you know you want to say it." Dawn teased, "say it, you loooove us." "I'm not sayin' it!" Xander teased back. Dawn punched his shoulder, "Party pooper." "What am I going to do with you two." Willow said smiling.
