It Wasn't the End After All

[Chapter 2]

"How are you feeling today?," Faye asked walking into the room.
"I'm feeling a little better," Julia replied.

Faye nodded as she saw Julia sitting up on the couch. It had been
a week since the whole horrible ordeal. They all had recieved word
that Spike had died two days ago. They all reacted differently to the
news. Jet didn't say a word and kept mostly to himself. Julia shed her
tears, but she had already known that he was dead. Faye shrugged and
acted like she didn't care, lucky for her no one had heard that night
crying silently in her room. No one but Julia.

***********
Julia was flipping though a magazine unable to sleep that night. She
got up and made her way to the bathroom. She had to pause every
now and then because of the still intense pain of her wound. On her
way back to the sitting area, she paused outside of Faye's room. Inside
she heard the soft sobs of the young woman. Julia silently passed the
room and limped away.

She had known that Faye had something for Spike. And it saddened
her that she couldn't do much to comfort her. She wanted to go into her
room and hug her close. She wanted to tell her that she didn't have to cry
anymore because she was there now. But it was a ridiclious idea because
Julia wasn't a lesbian or anything liked that. Or was she?

As Julia tried to go to sleep that night, all she could think about was
Faye. Which was funny because after Faye had finished crying, all
she could think about was Julia.

******************
Within a month, Julia was able to move and walk around without much
pain. Thanks to Faye who had helped her. And if it wasn't because of Julia,
Faye would've never gotten over Spike's death. So in a way they helped
each other recover.

The two woman were falling blindly in love but they still had alot to get
over. Like the fact that they both had been in love with Spike. And Julia
felt so guilty about his death.

She kept remembering the last time she saw Spike. She remembered how
he had seemed so lost when he thought she was dieing. To him she had died
and he probably felt like he had nothing to live for anymore. And in a way she had
died but was reborn that day.

Julia was no longer the person she had always been. Now with everything and
everyone she had known gone, she felt alone. Well not completely alone. She
was falling in love with Faye but was too shy to admit it.

On the same token, Faye was losing herself but finding something she wanted
in Julia. The two seemed destined to be together but love is never met without
some form of heartbreak. And in their case it would be two.

*****************************************************************
A/N: I know it was a short chapter. But I wanted you people to get an idea of what's
happening now that they know Spike is dead. Actually this was a reflection chapter (in
other words the characters are reflecting on their feelings). Something bad is going to
happen to one of the characters in the next chapter.

More to come, so review and let me know what you think.
