Chapter 3: A/N: Sorry it took so long to down load this chapter. I've been
busy with my webpage and the other story I decided to write. I just posted
it if anyone wants to read it, its called Life Just Got A Little More
Perfect. So... anyway... here it is.
It was now Friday, 2 days had passed since Spike had asked Buffy out. The date was tomorrow. She couldn't wait. She walked to her locker and opened it. She found a blood red rose sitting on her shelf and there was a note attached, it read...
You're on my mind. Pick you up tomorrow. xoxoxoxo William 'Spike' Giles
She smiled, put her books in her locker and took the rose with her. She was ready to go to 6th period, the last period of the day. She held the rose close to her heart. She hated the next class. It was math, her worst subject. Though, on the bright side, Spike and all her friends were in that class. On the dark side, as she called it, Cordelia and Wesley were in that class. The bell rang and she took her seat. Spike sat in his assigned seat across the room. She smiled at him. Faith sat behind her.
Faith: Who got you the pretty flower?
Buffy: Who do ya think?
Faith: Hey, you never know.
Buffy and Faith laughed. The teacher stood in front of them.
Teacher: And what may I ask is so funny? This is class now, my rules.
Faith: None of your business.
Teacher: You keep that attitude Miss Faith and you're going down to the office with a referral.
Faith: Do I look like I care?
Teacher: Keep it up Miss Summers, keep it up.
Buffy was extremely embarrassed. She had never gotten in trouble. Faith on the other hand was always getting in trouble. Faith passed Buffy a note, it read:
Faith: What a Bitch.
Buffy wrote back.
Buffy: I know, I hate this class.
Faith smiled and crumpled up the note. Teacher: Okay, today, we will be doing a project.
Xander: Another one?
Teacher: Do you have something to add Mr Harris?
Xander: No.
Teacher: Okay, after I was rudely interrupted, we are starting a project. In this project we will be doing recipes in our fraction section. You may pick your groups. Though pick wisely. Only 3 per group please. And if any left over, 4.
Buffy got in a group with Willow and Xander. Faith got in a group with Cordelia and Wesley. Everyone had a group except for Spike and Angel.
Buffy: I'm gonna ask Spike to be in our group okay guys.
Willow: Sure, no problem, he's cool.
Buffy: Spike.
Spike: Yeah luv?
Buffy: Do you wanna be in our group?
Spike: Why of course pet.
Xander: That is so cool.
Willow: What is?
Xander: When he says all those names, like luv and pet and ducks and stuff. That's cool how he can... ok... I'm shutting up now.
Buffy: Yes, please.
Willow: Okay, so we need to bake something. What should we make?
Xander: How 'bout...
Willow: If you say brownies...
Xander: Fine, no brownies.
Buffy: How 'bout a cake?
Xander: Not better than brownies.
Willow: First of all, I'm allergic to brownies.
Xander: I know, anyways... that sounds good Buff.
Buffy: What do you think Spike?
He just stared at her, he couldn't believe how beautiful she was.
Buffy: Earth to Spike?
Spike: Huh? Uh... yeah, that sounds good.
Buffy: Cake it is.
Spike smiled at how relaxed Buffy seemed, even with her life the way it is. She smiled back at him. She put the rose in her curled hair. He couldn't help but let out a small laugh.
Buffy: What?
Spike: Nothing, it's... nothing.
~~~
It was now Saturday. It was around 5 o'clock. She needed to start getting ready for her and Spike's date. She ran upstairs.
Buffy: Faith!
Faith came in.
Faith: Yeah?
Buffy: Help me pick an outfit out.
Faith: No problem.
After about 20 different outfits they find an outfit that looked awesome on her. It was a little black mini skirt, a red sparkly top and cute strappy sandal. Faith helped her curl her hair.
Faith: You look perfect, Spike is gonna be blown away.
Buffy smiled. She did look nice. The doorbell rang.
Faith: Have fun B.
Buffy: Yea, I will, remember, watch Dawn, moms out tonight.
Faith: Okay. Bye.
Buffy: Bye.
Buffy ran downstairs to open the door. There stood a stunning looking Spike. He wore a pair of black slacks, a dark blue silk shirt, open at the top a little, and black dress shoes. His hair was styled messy/spikey.
Buffy: Wow! You look...
Spike: Beautiful? That's what I was gonna say about you.
Buffy blushed. He held out a bouquet of 2 dozen flowers. They were yellow roses with baby's breath mixed in. They were beautiful.
Buffy: Oh my gosh! They are beautiful. Thank you.
She hugged him.
Spike: No problem. Only for you pet.
Buffy: Well, let me put them in water and we can leave.
Spike: Okay.
She left to the kitchen.
Dawn came down the stairs and saw Spike.
Dawn: Who are you?
Spike: Um... Spike.
Dawn: Spike? What a funny name.
Faith came down the stairs.
Faith: Dawn, you better get your ass up the stairs now and... oh, hi Spike, I thought you guys left.
Spike: No, I'm waiting for Buffy.
Dawn: You didn't answer me, who are you?
Faith: My gosh Dawn, it's none of your business, just get the hell upstairs.
Dawn: (Loud Groan) Fine!
She stomped upstairs.
Faith: That girl is so gonna get it.
Buffy came back.
Buffy: I'm ready.
Faith: Okay, have a good time.
Spike: Yeah, you know it.
Buffy smiled at Faith, gave her a wave, and left.
~~~
Buffy and Spike had a great night, he took her to dinner, then to the Bronze. He walked her to her door step.
Buffy: I had a great night. Thank you.
Spike: You're very welcome, I'm glad.
She just stood there looking into his beautiful blue eyes. Then it happened. He leaned down and kissed her. First it was a small kiss then deepened. They broke apart. She smiled at him.
Buffy: Goodnight.
Spike: Goodnight luv, I really mean it.
She smiled one last time before she walked in side. She was shocked t what she saw on the other side of the door. She saw Dawn lying on the floor with a gash on her arm and unconscious. Faith was lying on the stairs. She had a cut on her cheek and was starting to awake. Buffy ran to Faith's side.
Buffy: What happened? Are you guys ok? Are you hurt?
Faith: It was... it was mom. Buffy: Fuck, we gotta go take Dawn to the hospital...
Just then their mom came through the kitchen door.
Joyce: It's you, I want you out! All of you, get the hell out of my house.
Buffy walked up to her mom.
Buffy: Mom why are you doin' this to yoursel...
Just then her mom raised her hand and slapped her across her face hard. One of her rings cut Buffy's cheek.
Joyce: I said, get the hell out of my house, I had enough of all of your bull shit, all of you, you got an hour to pack all your crap and get the hell out!
Buffy and Faith didn't waste anytime. They picked up Dawn and ran upstairs to pack there stuff up. They went to Dawn's room first. They began to pack.
About 20 minutes later, they had all of Dawn's clothes in bags and her personal stuff. Dawn seemed to be still unconscious. They traveled to the next room.
Buffy: Where are we gonna stay?
Faith: I don't know B, um... lots of people don't have room for us. Um... I'm gonna call Angel.
Buffy: Um... I guess.
About 20 minutes later, they had packed there stuff up and left early, they took Dawn and there stuff and waited at the park where Faith and Buffy told them they would meet them. Dawn was still unconscious. A car arrived there. It was Angel and Spike. They hopped out and ran to them.
Spike: Are you guys okay? Are you hurt?
Buffy was holding Dawn in her arms and crying. Faith was crying too.
Angel: What happened?
Buffy: We need to get hospital now. Dawn's unconscious and hurt.
Spike: Okay, hurry, put her in the car, and put all of your bags in here.
They did so and sat in the back seat with Dawn. About 15 minutes later, they arrived. They ran inside, Spike carrying Dawn.
Faith: We need help. She's hurt.
Doctor: Okay, it's gonna be alright.
A few doctors came and took the young girl from Spike's arms.
Doctor: Um Miss Summers, you have to sign these papers.
Buffy: Thank you doctor.
She sat down, a little tired of the days activities. When she got home, she decided on telling Faith about her day, getting in her p.j's and going to sleep. Though things did not turn out that way.
Buffy: Um... Faith... how old is Dawn again?
Faith: Oh m god, give me the damn paper.
She gave her the papers. Faith came to a stop when she came across something on the paper.
Faith: Um... B, could you come here real quick.
Buffy: Yeah.
They stood up and whispered in a corner.
Buffy: What's wrong?
Faith: It says how it will be paid. Um... we don't have money.
Buffy: Crap, um... I don't know what to do.
Spike: Is there a problem pet?
Buffy: Um...
There was a moment of silence.
Angel: Girls?
Faith: We can't cover the charge.
Buffy: Um..
Spike: That is no problem. Why didn't you say so. Buffy: We don't' wanna be moochers.
Angel: It's okay.
Spike: Put down cash Faith.
Faith didn't hesitate and did as asked.
The doctors came up to all of them.
Doctor: Um... Miss Summers will be here over night for check ups. Um... visiting hours are over, so if you like, you may come back at around 9 am.
Spike: Thank you doctor.
Doctor: It was no problem. Are you done with the forms miss?
Faith: Oh yeah.
She handed him the forms. Spike paid for the charges. They hopped back in the car and left to Spike and Angel's place. Faith and Buffy were amazed. It was huge, a mansion.
Buffy: Your house is huge!
Faith: No shit!
Spike: Yeah, well.
He opened the door for the 2 girls. The guys grabbed their and Dawn's bags. They walked inside. It was now 1:00 am.
Angel: Come on in.
Buffy: Thank you.
Spike and Angel put their stuff in the spare room and went back to Faith and Buffy on the couch. They brought back hot cocoa and blankets.
Spike: So... why are you 2 here?
Buffy began to cry and Faith's eyes began to glisten with tears.
Buffy: 'Cause our lives suck, I hate it okay.
Faith: Our mom.
Buffy: When we were little, about 10, and Dawn was about 6, our mom, she was an alcoholic. She use to drink a lot! Anyways... she quit and had therapy and everything. She use to hurt us. Dawn the most for some reason.
Faith: After about a year, she was doin' fine, we thought she was fine now, you know, better. I guess we were wrong, she's back on the bottle.
Spike: Oh, I'm so sorry.
Faith: It's okay, we're use to our sucky ass lives.
Buffy: Our parents never cared about us, that's just the way it is.
After a moment, Angel spoke.
Angel: You 2 should get to bed.
Faith: Yeah, I'm beat, oh, and thanks for letting us stay here.
Spike: You know it's no problem.
Buffy: Yeah, but thank you.
She gave him a weak smile, a peck on the cheek, and followed Faith us the stairs to the guest bedroom.
