The next several hours were awful for the group; no one knew if Spike would
be ok, he had been in surgery for seven hours. If he makes it out they
don't now how well he will be.
The group was especially surprised by how worried Buffy was. And all Buffy could think about was how the only reason he went out into the lot was because he had seen her kissing Angel.
She did not know what had changed since last night: she hated him and then she might have feelings for him. This morning she felt disgusted by what she had done with a guy she barely knows and what she does know, she hates. But after seeing Angel something in her changed, she might have feelings for Spike.
Just as Buffy began to think about how she feels about Spike, a doctor came out. "Are you for William Giles?"
"Yes we are, is he ok?" Giles asked nervously.
"He is out of surgery, I performed the surgery I am Dr. Blanc. He should be ok physically in a month or so; he can leave in a week or so. That is assuming he doesn't slip into a coma which is not very likely." Dr. Blanc said
"Oh thank God" Giles said, and everyone else felt so much better.
"However his mental state is undetermined, he is not up yet so we cannot examine him" Dr. Blanc explained. "I feel if you let some people in he might come out of it, however only one person at a time"
"I will go in first, you can all follow suit" Giles volunteered.
The next hour passed with people going in to see Spike and visitors from the set and friends that heard what happened had stopped by, including Anya. Spike was coming out of it for a while and then he fell back a sleep from the anesthesia.
Reporters were trying to get into the waiting room and Spike's room to interview friends or get pictures of Spike. Mostly they were just people from The Sun and National Enquirer and they were not having much success.
Everyone had gone in to see Spike after two hours, except Buffy.
"Buffy go on and see Spike. I know you don't get along but maybe if you say something harsh you can pull him out of this deep Sleeping Beauty sleep" Willow suggested.
"I don't know" Buffy said unsurely.
"Who knows maybe you are the magic key" Xander said. "Ok, but I will only say hi" Buffy said. "Are you sure this won't be awkward, we don't exactly get along and I don't think I am the first person he will want to see when he wakes up" Buffy babbled.
"Just go on" Anya pushed
With that Buffy went in to see Spike.
She couldn't believe how pale he looked, he was never tan, but this was a sickly pale. And he had a cut on his forehead from when he fell when the bullets hit him. Just seeing him like this made her want to throw up. She hadn't realized it but she was crying.
Buffy briskly walked over to Spike and held his hand "You can get through this I know you can, you are a fighter, trust me I know."
"I know we never got along but you can't die, it would kill your dad and Xander would be devastated and millions of teenage girls all over the world would be crushed, more than they were when Justin cut his hair. And as much as I would hate to admit it, I would be sad."
"I am so sorry for everything hateful I said to you, for last night, for this morning, for Angel. Angel didn't mean anything, I was just confused and he kissed me anyways"
Spike started to blink and squeezed on her hand a little. "Buffy" he said, his voice was hoarse and cracking.
It looked to Buffy like he was about to say more when all of a sudden the heart monitors started slowing down and beeping loudly.
A nurse ran into the room and called for a doctor to hurry up, they had an emergency.
