Chapter 16

Summary- I return. All right the song in this chapter is called '(The Girl Is) An Unsolved Mystery'. I want to tell people how I find my lyrics for each chapter. I go to Plyrics.com, which is just like a giant library of punk lyrics. I search by any topic and like that I have a list of songs to pick from. It's a really cool site. Ok this chapter is basically just William and Angel until the end. I like the William (Spike)/Drusilla pairing so if you don't then I wouldn't read the rest of this story cause it's gonna be in here. Ok enjoy. Bu bye

The song is called 'An Unsolved Mystery' by a band called Groovie Ghoulies.

Rating: PG-13 The 'F' word used once in this chapter.

Nobody knows, nobody knows where she appeared.

Yeah, no one thinks, nobody thinks that that is weird.

No one has ever seen inside the place where she resides.

No one has ever spent any amount of time by her side.

The girl is an unsolved mystery.

She means everything in the world to me.

I'd like to get her face to face.

I'd really like to crack this case.

I'd like to get her face to face.

I'd really like to solve this case.

(The Girl Is) An Unsolved Mystery- Groovie Ghoulies

"How do you know she even lives in Sunnydale?". Angel asked opening the heavy telephone book and scanning the tops of the pages for M. William ignored his question mainly because he didn't want to think of what would happen if Angel was right. He had been dreaming about this girl every night for almost three years. He was going to find her. Sure he had dated other girls but in the back of his mind her face had always been there. Drusilla Meyers. Her long dark hair, her deep eyes, her blood red lips and porcelain white skin had haunted him.

"The first one is Ashdale Street" William started towards the street and looked at Angel

"How did the whole Buffy meeting the crew go?"

"Just great...me and Shelly almost murdered each other but other then that it was good. Grandma likes her", William let out a snort and drummed his fingers on the steering wheel nervously. Angel knew William wanted to ask him something but he was afraid to.

"Will"

"Yea?"

"Everything ok?"

"Yea I mean...You're ok right? Whatever was going on with you before.... you're ok now?" Angel seemed to shrink down in his seat. He knew this time would come. He couldn't keep it a secret from William forever.

"Yea I'm ok now"

"But you weren't before" Will stated. Angel shook his head 'no' slowly

"No I wasn't.... I was going through some stuff"

"Stuff you couldn't tell me?" William asked. Angel looked down at his hands, out the window, anywhere but his friends face. He had always felt like he could tell William anything. They were best friends till the end. They'd die for one another. But he had been afraid to tell William about that day.... how do you tell your best friend you almost killed your self? He had been afraid that he would be looked at differently in his friend's eyes. The last thing he had wanted was Will treating him like some fucking doll. He still was afraid. He didn't want things to be awkward between them.

"Yea stuff I couldn't tell anyone...." he started but William cut him off

"You told Buffy"

"Not until...my dad wrote us a letter. And Shelly went to meet him and he wasn't there. It kind of got me a little depressed for a while. You know that event just added to the stress of our fucked up lives.... I'm fine now though"

"But that day at school.... something happened that day didn't it?" If it was possible Angel got even smaller in his seat. He ran his hand through his thick, red, gelled spikes and looked up at William

"Yea something happened"

"What?"

"I drove to the movie theater parking lot.... I thought about killing myself...then I went to Buffy's. I took the gun up to her room with me. She came in..... she helped me" Angel said bluntly. There was no way of putting it softly. Angel watched Williams's fingers grip the steering wheel and saw him try to calm down. Eventually they pulled over to the side of the road. Angel felt like a small child not knowing how his best friend would react.

"You could have.... you could have come to me", William half yelled sounding confused

"I know that Will, it wasn't even a matter of that.... I didn't want to be treated differently"

"By me? You know me Angel I wouldn't treat you different.... I would have helped you"

"I was scared! The last think I needed was my best friend treating me like some freaking rag doll. I'm ok now don't worry about it" Angel yelled

"Don't worry about it? I don't mean to sound like some freaking pansy ass but I do love you, you stupid jackass. You're my best friend how to do expect me to deal with this?" William asked. Angel sighed and covered his face with his hands.

"You see you're angry...Will me and you are best friends nothing is gonna change that. Not girls not anything.... I should have told you but at the moment I wasn't exactly thinking clearly. I was pissed because you knew something was wrong that morning. I was pissed at everything. My world kind of just.... crumbled. But only for a minute. It was a momentary loss of sanity and now I'm better. I can deal. I'm sorry I didn't tell you", Angel took a deep breath and looked over at his friend. William was staring forward.

"You shouldn't apologize...I'm glad you're ok now. Angel just...remember you can talk to me about anything ok?"

"I know I can and I Will from now on...now lets stop acting like an old married couple and find your mystery girl".
Three hours and about fifty-five 'Meyers' later they had yet to find Drusilla. William was beginning to grow discouraged. It had seemed like such a good plan in his head. But what if Angel was right? What if she didn't even live in Sunnydale? What if she just wasn't listed in the book? Sighing he continued driving toward the next house.

"I have a good feeling.... this is it" Angel said suddenly from beside him. William huffed

"I hope your right Angel I don't know how more of this I can take.... I need to find her"

"You will...this is her I don't know how I know I can just feel it" Angel said. Somehow deep in his stomach he knew that William was about to find his girl. William pulled up outside the house and looked at it. It was a nice, small single home with daisies planted in the front yard. He gulped. Angel was right. He could feel her. She was here he knew it. He had fallen in love with this girl almost three years ago and now he was about to see her again...he could feel it. He looked to Angel from reassurance. His friend just grinned and gestured to the house

"We didn't drive all this time for you to sit here and look stupid. Now go!". William nodded and climbed from the car looking down at his clothes, which consisted of his 'Ramones' hoodie and baggy jeans. He ran a hand through his short bleached hair. Finally he started up the path then up the stairs till he stood on the front porch. He only knocked once before he heard an angelic voice call out

"Hold on!". The door opened and he was greeted with a sight he had waited forever to see. She stood there, her dark hair flowed freely down her back, she wore a long sleeve white t-shirt and a long black skirt with fishnets underneath and to top it off big black combat boots. He was unsure what to say so he just stared in awe for a minute. She seemed to do the same before a sly smile spread across her face

"Spike?" he grinned. She had given him that nickname during the short week they had spent time together.

"Yea that would be me...funny I've been looking for ya for a long time and now I don't know what to say to you" he felt like there was a creature on his stomach trying to jump out. She calmed his nerves with a smile. She had a very unique smile, it almost looked evil but to him it was comforting.... beautiful.

"My Spike.... I thought about you a lot" she reached up and touched his hair. Even he was willing to admit she was a bit bazaar but that was what he liked about her.

Angel watched from the car. He could remember being 14 and thinking the girl was completely insane. Didn't look like much had changed but as long as Will was happy that was all that mattered. He leaned out the car window

"You plan on being here a long time?", William looked at him before looking back to Drusilla. She grinned

"Come inside I want you to meet everyone". Will looked back to Angel

"You can go...I'll get a ride home later"

"All right.... have fun" and with that Angel started the drive towards his own home to see how Buffy and Shelly had made out.
Did you like? I'm sorry for the wait for an up-date again I have been occupied and I was sick again. I get sick a lot. So tell me what you thought.
