+ Here is chapter 10!
"You little…" He trailed off. His hair was a pale, silver blue tone, his eyes as cold as ice as he stared at Spike and Julia.
"Vicious, please I love—"
"Me, you love me!" Vicious screamed throwing his hands to his chest. "How could you?!" Now his direction was thrown at Spike.
Spike pulled away from Julia covering himself with the blankets of the bed. Julia did the same. Vicious's eyes were cold, hurt, and heartbroken. He had just been betrayed by someone he considered a friend, and his lover… Spike didn't know what to say, he just sat there letting his hand rest on top of Julia's. "I'm sorry Vicious." Julia whispered. She pulled her hand away from Spike's glancing back at him.
'Julia, don't do it!' Spike growled to himself. They had been slowly pulling away from this. This pain, suffering, the heart ach, they had to get away from Vicious. Spike had met Julia six months ago, she was crying in the corner of a bar with a shot of gin next to her. Spike had sat next to her and she had told him her story. That Vicious, his friend was the one who caused her this pain, caused her the broken wrist that she had, and the brose on her eye. Spike hadn't meant to fall in love with her, it just happened to end up this way.
It was like some sick love triangle, tearing them all apart. Spike wanted Julia, Vicious wanted Julia, and Julia just wanted out of it all, yet she couldn't help getting lost in it all, and fell in love with Spike. "Let's go Vicious, we'll talk with Spike in the morning, okay baby?" She whispered into his ear. She sighed into his neck kissing along his chin and to his lips letting her hand run down his chest as she held the sheet around her body.
Vicious glared at her. "No! Not this time!" He growled hitting her across the face with his arm. Spike grew enraged.
"Stop!" He shouted out pointing a gun at his old friend.
++++++
"Stop… Stop…" Spike grumbled in his sleep. Faye peered down at his tanned face.
"Lunkhead..." She uttered. "He's dreaming, I think." Faye whispered as they landed on the roof of a tall building.
Jet looked back at Faye and nodded. "Probably something from his past; when I first met him he would be screaming in his sleep, it was painful to listen to." Jet sighed. "Did he tell you much, or no?"
"He only told me a little bit, nothing much though." Faye looked towards Liam. "You're really Julia's brother?"
Liam stared ahead through the glass window. He was sitting in the passenger seat holding his arm. It was almost as if he were in a trance. He didn't reply to Faye's words. "Julia!" Spike's arms flew into the air, waving in a frantic motion. He screamed her name repeatedly as he rolled onto his back flinging them in all directions.
Faye's eyes widened. She grabbed his arms yelling back at him to stop, that it was okay, she was there, and she wouldn't let him get hurt anymore. She rolled him onto his stomach again. Jet glanced back again, smiling. 'Someone for him to hold…' He trailed off in his thoughts looking over at Liam. "Kid, come on, help me get Spike into Doc's clinic." Still no reply. "Yo, kid!" Jet called louder. Liam inhaled a large amount of air into his chest before exhaling and glancing over at Jet.
"What were you saying?" He questioned. Liam was oblivious to what was happening, although he clearly did hear, and make out Spike's cries for Julia.
"Spike…" Jet sighed, pointing back to him and Faye, who held his arms at his sides. Her breathing was heavy; it took a lot of strength to hold him down like this.
Outside Jet's zip craft, the wind was harsh the temperature had dropped, yet was tolerable for Faye who was dressed in shorts and a tank top. A man opened the door. He was short, and stocky with short, curly white hair, and had a tiny pear of glasses, held up by his pointy nose. "Jet, is that you?" The man called, his voice was scratchy and deep. He seemed to be around the age of sixty.
Jet had opened the back hatch of his zip craft, and was guiding Spike's limp body carefully from it. "Yeah, it's me!" He shouted. "Faye, go tell him to get ready to help Spike, and Liam while we carry him in, okay?"
Faye was watching Jet and Liam pick up Spike, and carry him out the back of Jet's ship. Her face grew pale, and her heart wrenched as Spike's face wrinkled in pain. She sighed nodding her head. "Yes." She nodded hopping out the back and running over to the older man. "My name is Faye, Spike is trying to help me out, he got hurt, and so did Liam, a friend of ours." She sighed. "Spike's back is pretty torn up, could you help?"
++++++
"What do you mean, you lost track of them?!" Nathan growled. He sat on a couch three women surrounding him. One girl was on top of him, kissing him down his bare chest. Nathan pushed her to the ground with a harsh shoving motion as he stood up. She yelped out in surprise standing and sitting on the couch.
"One second our cars were right behind them, and the next they were gone sir." The man bent his head down in shame. "My men are at blame, I'll take full responsibility for them sir." He frowned, looking up. His green eyes widened.
Nathan smiled. "Yes, you're right. Nathan pulled the gun from under the couch. He fired a shot, killing the man instantly. The girls screamed running behind the couch and hiding. Nathan snarled turning around forcing a smile on his face. "Ladies, don't be scared. I'm not mad at you…" He laughed lightly. "Now… Where were we?" He smirked cocking his head to one side. The one girl stood tears nearly brimming in her eyes.
++++++
"What happened to him?" Doc frowned injecting a pain killer into Spike's arm. "That should numb him from the shoulders down for a good two hours." He smirked looking back at Faye who sighed in relief. "Are you his girlfriend missy?" Faye's eyes widened.
"No. He's trying to get me some help." Faye sighed shaking her head. When did she get so worried over a guy? He didn't like her anyway; Faye was just an excuse so he could do something exciting in his life. That's all she was to him, a way out of his old troubles and into new ones.
"I see." He sighed looking over at Jet who smirked holding Ein in his arms and scratching the small dog's ears.
"How are you related?" The man looked over at Liam who was in one of his dazed moments again.
"Oh, uhh. He was my babysitter as a kid." Liam smirked laughing lightly.
"You still are a kid." Jet shot. Liam's eyes narrowed and he tried to ignore that comment. Letting his good hand run through his hair he forgot about the blood and now his blonde and blue streaked hair was half covered in a crimson red. He rolled his eyes in frustration.
"Thanks…" He grumbled.
"You're welcome." Jet spat back. Ein barked in response.
Doc shook his head. "Spike should be just fine." He ran a small red light over Spike's wounds that drew the cuts and scraps together joining the torn skin and healing his wounds in a matter of minutes. Faye's green eyes opened in awe.
"That's perfection." She whispered.
Liam even paid attention to what was going on. "Can you do the same this for me too?"
The doctor shook his head. "No." He sighed. "I have to clean, and scrap all the glass from your wound first, you see. Thanks to this lovely lady, she saved Spike from having a major infection. All I had to do is throw some peroxide on parts of his back and heal it with the laser."
Liam grimaced. "I get pain killers first though, right?" He swallowed the ball forming in his throat as Doc readied a needle.
"Yes, yes of course." He sighed. Liam's heart rate rose as the man came closer. "Just a little prick…" He trailed off. Liam's face grew paler by the second and he nearly passed out as Doc stuck the needle into his arm. Faye smirked holding back her laughter. Liam heard her mild reaction and glared at her.
++++++
"Now Julia!" Spike growled grabbing her arm and pulling her into a back room.
Julia pulled away in protest. "You'll get killed though…"
"You wanted me to protect you, I'll do it even if I have to kill my best friend, if it's for you Julia…" He breathed pressing his lips to hers. It was like a drug, the wanting grew more and more, he needed that high, and he needed it now. "I love you…" He sighed.
Julia's eyes widened before closing. She didn't reply she just kissed him back. Spike sighed nibbling on her neck. "Let's go Spike…" Julia mumbled pushing him away. Spike smirked.
"Yeah, we'll never look back."
++++++
"Never… Look…" He grumbled. Spike lay on his back in a hospital bed. Faye was sitting on a chair fast asleep. Spike's eyes fluttered opened to meet the cold wet nose of a dog. "Uhh…" He groaned in agony. "I've been blessed with a curse." He moved his hand to his forehead and looked around. "Where…" He paused pushing Ein off the bed and to the ground. "…am I?"
Faye stirred in her sleep her eyes opened, closing tightly as the light from a lamp beamed into her eyes. "Spike?" Faye yawned.
"Faye?" He sat up abruptly looking around in horror.
"Sleeping beauty's awake." Faye smirked walked over to him and poking him in the cheek; Doc had even managed to get rid of his burse. "You're more trouble than you're worth." She frowned. The car flashed into his mind.
"Did I hurt myself that badly swerving off-road?" Spike lifted his arms in the air trying to find a broken limb, or large gash on his body.
"You did that on purpose?!" Faye screamed. Rage filled her eyes and Ein barked wagging his stubby tail again.
"They stopped chasing us, didn't they?" Faye's eyes blinked a few times.
"Is your back hurting?" She changed the subject. "You were really scaring me back there… You were screaming and stuff; did you have that bad of a dream?"
Spike's face darkened, and his eye hazed over. "What did I say?"
"Nothing major, uttered a few things, Julia was one…" She sighed. She remembered him clearly stating I love you, but she wasn't going to say another word about that right now.
Spike's lips pierced together forming a scowl, like he had just tasted something bitter. "Hmm…" Spike sighed nodding his head. "Thank you." He looked back at Faye his face blank.
"For what, Spike?" Faye shook her head not understanding. Her violet hair was down all the way, he bangs hanging in her emerald green eyes.
He thought for a moment and smiled a bit. "I don't know, just felt right saying it." He looked away, and swung his legs over the side of the bed. Faye's mouth hung jarred before closing. She wanted to ask him what he meant when he said I love you. Was Spike referring to her, or Julia? Faye stood taking a few steps closer. She stopped and looked out the window. She stepped closer, she was within arms reach. She leaned forward letting her hand brush the bangs away from Spike's face. Spike glanced up at her with lifeless eyes. "You should think about getting your hair trimmed, you know that?" She smirked, glancing down at him. Nothing changed his expression. Spike's eyes were fixed on Faye. "What is it?"
Spike blinked as something flashed like a bold of lighting, it came and went away just as fast. He took hold of Faye's hand, pulling it away from him, and brought it back to her side. "I like my hair the way it is, thank you very much…" He spoke barely above a whisper.
Faye sighed she turned around and took a seat next to him on the hospital bed. "Thank you for going this far to help me." Faye looked down at her hands. Spike didn't move but managed a glance from the corner of his eyes. Faye looked up at him and slowly let herself lean into him. Spike's eyes widened as Faye's head rested on his shoulder. He turned to look down at her. "Can I just rest here for a minute?" Faye asked. Her voice almost seemed desperate.
Spike looked away and stared down at the tile floor and over to Ein who laid down resting his head on his feet. Spike's body tensed, but he didn't protest. "Where's Liam?" Spike broke through the silence.
Faye thought a moment. "With Jet, getting something to eat; I called Jet, he came and got us, and brought us to this place." Faye sighed. She found comfort in voice, what was happening to her, one minute he could stand him, and the next she was begging for him to hold her? She mentally kicked herself. 'He's so warm.' Her voice moaned; Faye kicked herself again.
"He's okay, right?" Spike uttered again closing his eyes and yawning. Faye nodded into his shoulder. Spike's eyebrows knitted together. "Good."
"Spike?" Faye couldn't stop herself; it would eat her up if she didn't ask him now. "Why did you say, I love you?" Spike's heart wrenched, his mind became a blur. He sharply turned his head to look down at Faye. She pulled away to look into his eyes. They were wide; it was as if he was frightened. That was it, Faye's mind noted. Spike was scared.
