Til There Was You
Chapter 3
"What?" Buffy said feeling the anger and nervousness creep up inside of her. She couldn't believe it. Her own sister telling Angel out of everyone on the entire planet Angel was the one she didn't want to know.
Spike was feeling different towards this news. Inside he was laughing at his sire's face when he got told. He was annoyed he wasn't there. He knew how jealous Angel could get sometimes and he knew this would make him very jealous. He wouldn't be surprised if him and Buffy got a visit from peaches in the next couple of days telling them how much he disapproved. Spike looked over at Buffy who showed no emotion.
" You OK luv?" Spike knew that was a dumb question but it was the only question that felt ok to ask at that moment.
" Angry at Dawn and worried about you" Buffy said. Spike did not expect that answer. She was worried about him.
"Why?" Spike asked.
"Well, I know how strong Angel is better than anyone and I'm worried about what he'll do to you. I won't let you get hurt," Buffy said holding Spike's hand. Buffy was truly worried and yet Spike, the one in danger, wasn't.
"Dawn could be....well...lying" Spike attempted carefully.
" I better go check," Buffy said as she got up to go to Dawn's room.
Buffy was upstairs for a very short amount of time when she came down with a glazed look over her face. She sat down on Spike's lap as one, quiet tear flowed down her face.
" What am I going to do?" Buffy said quietly.
That night: Magic Box
" Why was cola called cola" Anya asked trying to start a conversation.
" I just got a call from Buffy, she said she won't becoming to meet us tonight and didn't tell me why" Xander said coming back from the desk.
Xander, Anya, Tara and Willow were all gathered around the circular table. Willow and Tara were being civilised towards eachother.
" So who's up for a game of twister?" Anya said. Everyone looked up signalling they were up for twister.
" I'll go get-" Anya got cut off but the door opening and a tall, dark man stood there.
He slowly stepped forward so everyone could see who he was.
Xander got up and smiled " Dead boy, what brings you to happydale?"
Angel slowly came in and sat down." I figured you heard about Buffy and Spike, well I've come to-"
" What about Spike and Buffy?" Xander and Willow asked.
"Buffy doesn't tell you guys much anymore, I see, she's seeing Spike" Angel said, saying those words hurt him.
Anya, Xander, Tara and Willow's jaws dropped. They all respected Buffy and Spike.
" That's great, I mean I'm alittle pissed about why they didn't tell us but otherwise that's great" Xander said.
"Yeah" All the girls said as they agreed with Xander.
" I mean I could see why you don't like it dead boy" Xander put-in.
Angel expected them all to be in uproar about this but every1 seemed fine about this.
He was confused.
Buffy's House: Same Time
"Why? Why would Dawn tell Angel out of all people?" Buffy said with a questioning look.
" Why don't you ask her?" Spike said as if obvious.
"I can't look at her right now?" Buffy said. Spike started laughing. Buffy gave him an angry look.
" You're acting as if she has just killed someone, it's only alittle thing, so what if she told Angel? Not the end of the world pet" Spike said "I'll go upstairs and ask her. ok?"
Buffy nodded.
Spike got up still with a smile on his face. He couldn't believe Angel knew and hadn't come knocking on Buffy's door asking for an explanation yet. Oh well, he thought, Maybe tomorrow.
Spike got upstairs and softly knocked on Dawn's door.
"Come in" A voice came from inside.
He walked in and sat down on the bed. He looked at Dawn waiting for her to apologise but nothing came.
" Why did you tell him?" Spike asked with a serious look that didn't suit him.
" I thought he had a right to know like everyone else" Dawn said looking worried about his response.
" What do you mean? Everyone else? You haven't told them have you? Because if you had you would probably cause everyone around you including Buffy distress" Spike said.
" Well" Dawn said joining Spike on her bed " I haven't.....yet. I told Angel first because he would want to know being Buffy's ex and all. He still loves her I reckon and he was probably really pleased that I decided to tell him first."
"Pleased? You don't know Peaches very well do ya? He would be furious, mad and most of all dangerous. By the way how did you tell him?" Spike asked.
" I left a message on Cordi's machine, so she probably knows and hopefully broke the news to Angel lightly" Dawn said.
" So you did this because you thought Angel had a right to know and you left a message on Cordi's machine to tell Angel about me and Buffy and anyone could of got that message?" Spike asked with a slight smile on his face.
" Yeah I guess" Dawn answered.
" Clever girl" Spike said, Dawn was startled " Your like me, you know how to cause trouble everywhere you go"
" So you're not mad at me right?" Dawn asked.
" I am alittle, Buffy's really upset and I don't like to see her upset, I'm not really bothered who knows about us but she is" Spike said looking Dawn in the eyes.
Spike got up hugged Dawn and headed downstairs.
Later: Magic Box
" How can you guys not care about them? Aren't you lot her friends?" Angel said almost shouting.
" Look, I'm pretty sure if Buffy is happy that's all that counts, I don't really care who with. But I'm happy for both of them because I like Spike alot. He did alot for us and Dawn." Willow said.
" Yeah but he's a soulless vampire that once wanted to kill her" Angel pointed out.
" Oh, oh deja vu. Wasn't that you once? A soulless vamp that wanted to kill her. Spike is in love with Buffy when he doesn't have a soul. That's love. You go all psycho-killer on everyone if you become a soulless vampire.....we don't have that risk with Spike" Xander said with a broad smile. Xander's smile went when he saw the fury on Angel's face. Everyone fell silent. It was broken when the phone rang. Xander got up and went to answer.
" Hello?.....ok........what?now?.....ok I'll see in 5 mins and Buffy....is Spike coming?... ok, see ya Buff" Xander put down the phone. " Buffy and her lover are coming"
Buffy and Spike had decided to go to the magic box because Dawn had gone round a friend's house and they had nothing else to do.
Later at the Magic Box, the door flew open as Spike and Buffy entered.
"Hey everyone" Buffy stopped as she saw the back of a figure sitting around the table. Everyone had a worried expression on their faces. Buffy studied the figure in the chair.
" Angel?" Angel got up and turned to face them.
" I got the message Dawn left me" Angel replied. Buffy had a very worried expression while Spike had a shocked but calm expression.
Everyone went quiet waiting for what was going to happen next.
