He was being taken away. The ambluance got there in minutes. Minutes that were hours to her. Her hero was being lifted in the ambulance. He was unmoving.... white. Dead... He couldn't be. She hadn't realized it was raining untill someone put a blanket around her sholders.
What happened? Xander came up from the basement... crying... walking past Giles and Willow. It seemed as though he didn't hear anyone of them calling out his name... then Buffy followed. She ran out following them. Not listening to Gile's warnings. Telling her she needed to stay inside... She saw it.... She heard Buffy.
Buffy and Spike were together....
Xander grabbed his chest and wobled a little before he fell to the ground. It played in her mind over and over again... each time slower than the last. Buffy was doing CPR.... He wasn't breathing.
Dawn watched as each rain drop fell, making a ripple in the puddle that surrounded him... then another...
Then lights flashed... she didn't look from where, she knew what was going on.
She knew what was going on.... He was abandoning her. He was going, and leaving her all alone in a room full of people.
As a group of arms incircled her moving her back inside the house she knew.... She was truly alone.
***********
The one thing I never thought I would see was tears in Xander's eyes.... He was actually crying. Both Willow and I asked him what was wrong... then I saw it. Buffy coming from the basement with her face flushed and lips reddened. Every thing happened so fast.... I couldn't say exactly what happened. I knew one thing though.... Xander caught Buffy and Spike, for lack of a better word, together.
The man was heart broken. It wasn't mearly because of his love for Buffy. I am quite sure he gave up any chance his attentions twards her had a 'snowball's chance in hell.' He was broken hearted because Buffy could touch Spike... the man who tried to rape her. Even if he was reciently given a soul. My heart broke too, although I must admit I couldn't possably understand the pain he felt.
I saw him grab his chest and fall.... I screamed at willow... told her to call 9-1-1. It seemed like seconds later when I saw the ambulance. And then I stepped up in the ambulance, looking out the window to see the rest of them running back in the house, and Dawn being pulled back in by three other people. I looked over and watched as they tried to re-start Xander's heart.
I prayed he wasn't gone forever. I prayed that if there was a god they would let him live. If there was a god this would have never have happened to him.
