Missing You

Disclaimer: I don't own Incubus' song 'Wish You Were Here'

Dedication: To Kristen Anthony for letting me know her opinion of each chapter.

Spike watched Dawn walk out of the hotel with Connor. Seeing her everyday made him miss Buffy even more, but she had asked him to protect her so he was going to do that. It was the least her could do. Spike walked back to his room and laid down on his bed and fell asleep.

When he saw the sun in the sky shining down on him he realized quickly realized he was dreaming. He looked around his surroundings. He was on a beach. His black clothing clashed with his surroundings, but there wasn't much he could do about that. Then he felt someone tap him on the shoulder. It was Buffy she was wearing a pink dress that was floating in the wind. Spike smiled.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I dig my toes into the sand.
The ocean looks like a thousand diamonds strewn across the blue blanket.
I lean against the wind, pretend that I am weightless and in this moment I am happy.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Spike blinked his eyes and things changed. He was now laying next Buffy on a beach blanket looking up at the sky. It was night time and she was pointing out the little dipper. They were obviously having a good time. This made Spike feel true happiness. Spike pulls out a cigarette, lights it with his lighter, and just sits there watching Buffy smile. 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

I lay my head onto the sand.
The sky resembles a backlit canopy with holes punched in it.
I'm counting ufo's.
I signal them with my lighter
and in this moment i am happy, happy.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Spike jumped back into reality when he felt a vibrating in his coat pocket. He looked around to see no beach, no stars, and defiantly no Buffy. This made his smile disappear.

---------------------------

I wish you were here
I wish you were here
I wish you were here
I wish you were here.
---------------------------

He pulled the shivering cell phone out of his pocket.

"What do you want?" Spike said unhappy he had been woke out of such a good dream.

"Spike?" said a small voice.

"Willow?"

"Yea."

"What's going on."

"It's Buffy."

"Huh"

"She…. she's alive."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The world's a roller coaster and I am not strapped in.
Maybe I should hold with care, but my hands are busy in the air.
