Part 5
Two hours later- party at Lowell house.
Buffy and her friends- now including Oz and Jonathan entered into Lowell house. The party was in full swing. They noticed several of the newcomers and Riley talking in the background they could hear voices singing there was an on campus band. They were singing one of Willows favourite songs. The voice was familiar but she couldn't place it.
I could stay awake just to hear you breathing
Watch you smile while you are sleeping
While you're far away and dreaming
I could spend my life in this sweet surrender
I could stay lost in this moment forever
Every moment spent with you is a moment I treasure
:
Don't wanna close my eyes
Don't wanna fall asleep
'Coz I'd miss you baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing
Cos even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream will never do
I'd still miss you baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing
Lying close to you
Feeling your heart beating
And I'm wondering what you're thinking
Wondering if it's me you're seeing
Then I kiss your eyes
And thank God we're together
I just want to stay with you in this moment forever
Forever and ever
:
Don't wanna close my eyes
Don't wanna fall asleep
'Coz I'd miss you baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing
Cos even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream will never do
I'd still miss you baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing
I don't wanna miss one smile
I don't wanna miss one kiss
I just wanna be with you
Right here with you just like this
I just wanna hold you close
Feel your heart so close to mine
And just stay here in this moment for all the rest of time
Yeah, yeah
:
Don't wanna close my eyes
Don't wanna fall asleep
'Coz I'd miss you baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing
Cos even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream will never do
I'd still miss you baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing
:
Don't wanna close my eyes
Don't wanna fall asleep
'Coz I'd miss you baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing
Cos even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream will never do
I'd still miss you baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing
Cheers and applause rang throughout the room and as it died down another- British voice started to sing- it was John King he had a nice voice and several people sang along. It was known to most people as a film track song that had been very popular and it took a British voice to work.
There's no time for us,
There's no place for us,
What is this thing that builds our dreams, yet slips away from us.
Who wants to live forever,
Who wants to live forever.....?
There's no chance for us,
It's all decided for us,
This world has only one sweet moment set aside for us.
Who wants to live forever.
Who dares to love forever,
Whoa-whoa our love must die.
But touch my tears with your lips,
Touch my wo-unds with your fingerti-ps,
And we can have forever,
And we can love forever,
Forever is our today,
Who wants to live forever,
Who wants to live forever,
Forever is our today,
Who waits forever anyway?
The four finished the song and more cheers went up. The Scoobies met up with the new people they had met that day and sat along with them. They commandeered some drinks and started talking- John and Steven came up and sat down with the rest.
"Hey where's Chip and Alex."
"They're busy at the moment emergency call or something. Oh for those here who haven't met them this is Gabrielle, Robert, Steven, Jennifer and of course my wife Stacy. We've got two people missing but they'll be here later."
Stacy replied." Yeah Alex and Chip are always late. So how are you guys doing."
"Not too bad" Replied Faith. "This is Amy, Oz and Jonathan Friends of ours who are Starting here."
"I've seen Amy around we're in one of the same classes." Steven smiled at her and she Blushed. Willow Buffy and Faith looked at each other with a 'She's gone' look the same with the guys. Faith sat next to Jonathan and settled into his arms, they had been together now ever since she stopped him from killing himself just under a year ago. She had first been taken by his innocence and likability. But overall his helplessness, she had never liked to be dependent on anyone. But had been changed when he became dependant on her, In fact they had become so close that after a few dates she had fallen in love with him. No longer was she the love and dump em kind she held onto this one and they had finally admitted their relationship to the total surprise of no one.
"So are you all from Sunnydale" Asked Rob
"Everyone but Faith she's from Chicago" Answered Jonathan, "Buffy, Willow me and Amy were the same year. Oz was the year above us until last year and, Actually Amy, Willow and myself have known each other for ten years or more..." he stopped. The rest knew what it was about Xander had been with them for years until he disappeared.
"So how do you all know each other..."
"Well we were all at the same school..."
"Hey" a voice shouted. "John, Steve- last song Alex says he'll do it." It was Chip
"Here we go, come over and watch guys we'll introduce you to the rest of the gang." They got up and left for the small stage. The Scoobies walked over and Buffy could see the back of the man she had seen earlier. The group started off and a song started off Buffy's favourite song that only three people knew about, her mother, Faith and the person who gave her a copy when she fell in love with the song- his own SIGNED copy.
'Oh My God'
Instantly she knew the voice and the person singing it like he had those years ago, she hadn't known the real feeling he had behind that song until he had gone- she listened and started to cry.
This Romeo is bleeding
But you can't see his blood
It's nothing but some feelings
That this old dog kicked up
It's been raining since you left me
Now I'm drowning in the flood
You see, I've always been a fighter
But without you, I give up
No, I can't sing a love song like the way it's meant to be
Well, I guess I'm not that good any more, but baby that's just me
Then everyone sang along to the Chorus
Yeah I will love you, baby
Always
And I'll be there forever and a day
Always
I'll be there 'til the stars don't shine
'Til the heavens burst
And the words don't rhyme
And when I die, you'll be on my mind
And I love you
Always
Now those pictures that you left behind
Are just memories of a different life
Some that made us laugh, some that made us cry
One that made you have to say goodbye
What I'd give to run my fingers through your hair
To touch your lips, to hold you near
When you say your prayers, try to understand
I make mistakes, I'm just a man
When he holds you close, when he pulls you near
When he says the words you've been needing to hear
I wish I was him, 'cos those words are mine
To say to you 'til the end of time
Yeah, I will love you, baby
Always
And I'll be there forever and a day
Always
If you told me to cry for you, I could
If you told me to die for you, I would
Take a look at my face, there's no price I won't pay
To say these words to you
Well there ain't no luck in these loaded dice
But baby if you just give me just one more try
We can pack our old dreams and our old lives
We'll find a place where the sun still shines
And I will love you, baby
Always
And I'll be there forever and a day
Always
I'll be there 'til the stars don't shine
'Til the heavens burst
And the words don't rhyme
And when I die, you'll be on my mind
And I love you
Always
Buffy looked up and into a pair of the most familiar eyes she had ever seen- the eyes that had haunted her day and night for over a year. The eyes of the man she now knew she was in love with. Choking back sobs she whispered...
"Xander??"
Two hours later- party at Lowell house.
Buffy and her friends- now including Oz and Jonathan entered into Lowell house. The party was in full swing. They noticed several of the newcomers and Riley talking in the background they could hear voices singing there was an on campus band. They were singing one of Willows favourite songs.
