Chapter 5! Final and Last chapter

The Song is in the the italics

Spike looked down at the sleeping beauty in his arms. ' Well this seems rather fimiliar '

he thought. Spike chucklled to himself and stood, walking silently to the Swordfish and took off

towards the hospital.

Faye looked up from her hospital bed and sighed. She was hurting so bad. Not just

the pain of the cancer that was tearing inside of her but the thought of knowing that soon she

would no longer see Spikes face. No longer would be able to fight with him. Angry words ran

through her mind. She could almost remember every fight they had ever had. Every bounty

that they had gotten together. She remembered the constant arugement of the bounty money.

But mostly, she remembered Spike. She could remember firing the shots at the Bebop roof,

silently praying that Spike would just turn around and forget about having to do anything with

Vicious. Damn Vicious. He just knew how to ruin it all.

Spike sat worridely in a chair outside Fayes room. The doctor had been checking on

Faye for 20 minutes now. Spike stared blankly at the roof of the hospital. Spike thought back

to the night when Faye had tried to keep him from leaving, from going to trow his life away to

Vicious. He relized it all now, Faye was in love with him. He remembered how it had felt when

Julia had left for Vicious and tried to kill Spike. It had to been the same thing to Faye. Just

the thought of Julia had once made him happy, but now the thought was interupted by thoughts

of Faye. He only wished that he had relized how much he had loved her before.

Ten minutes later, Fayes doctor had walked out from her room and nodded down to

Spike, who was half asleep in the chair. The doctor nugded him slightly and Spike looked up

to see a very paniaced doctor. "Were losing her Mr. Spiegel. I'm sorry. Perhaps maybe you

should visit with her now. Spike nodded to the doctor and walked into Fayes room and looked

over to her. She was so pale and her eyes were slightly closed. He could tell that Faye had

been crying which made Spike feel like his world was collapsing. When Faye relized that

Spike had entered her room, she smiled. Tears were begining to form, but she didnt cry for

fear of what Spike might do. Spike got closer to her and sat down on her bed. Fayes smile

widened. Spike reached for her hand and held it closely. He looked down at her and seemed

to get lost in her eyes. Her emerald eyes had always brought him such joy. "I could die

right now Spike, and I wouldnt even mind." Spike smiled and kissed her hand. "and why not?"

"Ive got what I want" "What is it that you want?" "You. . . just you" Spike smiled and couldnt

help but let his tears fall. Faye squezzed his hand tighter. "Just hold me Spike.. I just want to

get this over with, I'm tired of the pain" Spike held her in his arms, as she cried softly on his

shoulder. "Dont worry Spike, I'm a fairy" Spike couldnt help but smile, but his smile faded

as her pulse weakened. "You were the one I loved Faye" Faye smiled slightly and she

winced in pain. "I love you Spike..." Spike kissed her lips softly. "I love you too Faye"

Fayes hand slowly started to lose its grip. Spike frowned as her hand dropped from his own.

He looked toward the monitor and watched as it started to Flat Line. Spike lied her hand down

on the bed and lied a kiss upon her forehead. "You were my shooting star..."

Of all the things I've believed in

I just want to get it over with

Tears form behind my eyes

But I do not cry

Counting the days that pass me by

I've been searching deep down in my soul

Words that I'm hearing

are starting to get old

It feels like I'm starting all over again

The last three years were just pretend

And I said,

Goodbye to you

Goodbye to everything I thought I knew

You were the one I loved

The one thing that I tried to hold on to

I still get lost in your eyes

And it seems that I can't live a day without you

Closing my eyes and you chase my thoughts away

To a place where

I am blinded by the light

But it's not right

Goodbye to you

Goodbye to everything I thought I knew

You were the one I loved

The one thing that I tried to hold on to

And it hurts to want everything and nothing at the same time

I want what's yours

and I want what's mine

I want you

But I'm not giving in this time

Goodbye to you

Goodbye to everything I thought I knew

You were the one I loved

The one thing that I tried to hold on to

The one thing that I tried to hold on to

And when the stars fall

I will lie awake

You're my shooting star
