Chapter 17: A/N: Hey everyone! I got some of your reviews, lol, I know it's sad right now but it will get better, promise. R+R= me very happy!!!! Enjoy!!!

Prom Night:

Buffy was still sad and she had not seen Spike since the night he broke up with her. She would cry ever so often and really missed him. Faith and Angel were happy as ever. It was 1 hours before prom and Buffy was in Faith's room getting ready. Faith had slipped into her beautiful maroon colored dress. It was a low cut square neck with spaghetti straps. She put on a pair of cute maroon strappy sandals. She put her curly hair up in a French twist with few hairs out.

Buffy: You look awesome Faith.

Faith: Thanks B. Your turn, get dressed.

Buffy: Faith, I dunno if this is such a good idea, I mean... I might just stay here and watch over Dawn...

Faith: No, You're coming! Dawn is staying another day at Janice's. Now get ready, you need to get over him.

Buffy: Faith, he's the father of my baby, how am I suppose to get over him?!

She began to tear up, her voice cracking.

Faith: Well, I guess you really can't... at least has some fun... I mean...

Buffy was crying again.

Buffy: I miss him so much.

Faith sat beside her on the bed stroking her hair.

Buffy: B, that's why it's important for you to go, get your mind off of him, now come on, get dressed, we're gonna have a ball.

Buffy nodded wiping off her tears. She stood up, unzipping the dress and changing. About 10 minutes later she was done. She looked gorgeous. She wore a dark blue dress. It was spaghetti strap, and very flowy with a trial in the back. She had a shall that wrapped around her arms and wore blue strappy sandals to match. She put her straight hair up leaving few strands out that she manually curled.

Faith: Buffy, you look gorgeous.

Buffy: Thanks.

There was a honk outside.

Faith: That must be the limo, ready?

Buffy exhaled.

Buffy: More than ever, come on.

They went downstairs and opened the door to find a limo. They walked to the limo and hopped in. Xander, Wesley, Willow and Cordelia were in it.

Cordelia: Hi guys, where's Angel?

Faith: Hi um... he said he would meet me there because he wanted to wait to see me.

Willow: Oh, You guys look gorgeous!

Buffy seemed to be in deep thought because she didn't say anything the whole time, probably thinking about Spike Faith thought.

Faith: Thanks.

About 20 minutes later they got to the school. They stepped out of the limo and walked to the gym. Willow of course walked in with Xander and Cordelia walked in with Wesley. Faith met up with Angel in the front and they walked in together, him saying she was beautiful and Buffy walked in alone. She felt like a 3rd wheel. Well technically a 4th wheel, but she felt alone and sad. An hour into the prom, he friends left her to dance with their dates. It was a nice song. Buffy sat silently watching everyone else dance while she sat alone, heart broken and depressed.

~ Don't tell me how I had a vision That this day would come to be Call it luck, call it intuition Here I am (here we are), isn't that enough For a little bit of reality Fate is good, fate can be real If you believe it's what you feel

~Oh, what a moment When I looked into you eyes I knew I got the prize Oh, baby, what a sweet surprise

~It only took a minute, to let you in my life It only took a minute, for me to realize It only took a minute, and I knew just what to do It only to a minute to fall in love with you

Buffy sat there listening to the lyrics of the song. A tear fell down her cheek.

~Time and time again, boy I've always been The only one who think things through You got a hold on me, set me free Who would've known that out of the blue?

~I discovered the magic of all my dreams that night With just one look at you I knew that everything would be all right

~It only took a minute, to let you in my life It only took a minute, for me to realize It only took a minute, and I knew just what to do It only to a minute to fall in love with you

It was true, she loved Spike, she did and he wasn't there for her to tell him. It took her so long to figure out he was the one. A few more tears fell.

~Here I am, isn't that a vision Here I am, isn't that a vision

~Oh, what a moment When I looked into you eyes I knew I got the prize Oh, baby, what a sweet surprise

~It only took a minute, to let you in my life It only took a minute, for me to realize It only took a minute, and I knew just what to do It only to a minute to fall in love with you

She couldn't stand it anymore and ran to the bathroom and cried. She wanted him back. After a few minutes, she calmed down; she silently walked back and sat in a chair while everybody else danced to the new song that was on the speakers. Sitting quietly, she saw it...

~Of all the things I believe in

I just want to get it over with

tears from behind my eyes

but I do not cry

Counting the days that past me by

It was him... Spike. He was walking in through the entrance. He wore a black tux. He was walking toward her, with a small, sad grin. Buffy let out once again, a single tear run down her cheek but couldn't help but smile at him too. She was always weak when it came to Spike.

~I've been searching deep down in my soul

Words that I'm hearing are starting to get old

Looks like I'm starting all over again

The last three years were just pretend and I say

Spike walked up to her taking her hand.

Spike: May I take this dance?

Buffy: (Single tear) Yes... you may.

He walked her to the dance floor. She wrapped her arms around his neck and he wrapped his arms around her waist. She layed her head on his chest. They swayed to the music.

~Goodbye to you

Goodbye to everything I thought I knew

You were the one I love

The one thing that I tried to hold on to

~I still get lost in your eyes

And it seems like I can't live a day without you

Closing my eyes till you chase my thoughts away

To a place where I am blinded by the light but it's not right

~Goodbye to you

Goodbye to everything I thought I knew

You were the one I loved

The one thing that I tried to hold on to

~Ohhh yeah

It hurts to want everything & nothing at the same time

I want what's yours and I want what's mine

I want you but I'm not giving in this time

~Goodbye to you

Goodbye to everything I thought I knew

You were the one I loved

The one thing that I tried to hold on to

The one thing that I tried to hold on to

~Goodbye to you

Goodbye to everything I thought I knew

You were the one I loved

The one thing that I tried to hold on to

Spike whispered in her ear.

Spike: Luv, I'm sorry, I was wrong and if...

Buffy: (Tears) Shhh, it's ok.

~We the stars fall and I lie awake

Your my shooting star

Buffy: (Tears) I love you... William.

He smiled wide and kissed her deeply. Everyone around them cheered. He gave her a giant hug and kissed her again deeply.

Spike: I love you too Buffy.

She smiled sniffling.

Buffy: I missed you.

Spike: I did do... and I did a lot of thinking... I can't live without you Buffy. I tried to think of other things but you're all I could think of.

Buffy smiled again.

The music stopped and someone stepped on stage. It was girl holding a piece of paper. She tapped the microphone and began to speak.

Girl: Hi everyone, I'm glad you're all having fun but it's time for king and queen 1st dance. Now brace yourselves. For king...

All the guys crossed their fingers hopping it was them but Spike was to busy kissing Buffy deeply.

Girl: William 'Spike' Giles!

All the girls clapped, he was one of the most handsome guys in school. Buffy broke the kiss with Spike whining,

Buffy: They just called you king! Go up.

Spike: Oook.

He gave her one last kiss and walked up the stage waiting to se who the queen was, hoping it was Buffy.

Girl: And the queen... oh, well... it's seems to be a tie... Buffy Summers and Faith Summers.

Faith looked at Buffy and Buffy looked back at Faith. People cheered.

Buffy: Faith, you go on...

Faith: No... I want you to... go on.

Buffy: Are you sure?

Faith: Totally and completely positive.

Buffy smiled and walked up to the stage, Spike took her hand. He whispered to her...

Spike: You look gorgeous Buffy.

Buffy: Thank you, you look awesome too.

He laughed and kissed her on the cheek.

Girl: Time for the king and queen dance.

They got on the dance floor and danced slowly to the song that played, he held her close.

~ I could stay awake just to hear you breathing,

Watch you smile while you are sleeping,

While you are far away and dreaming,

I could spend my life in this sweet surrender,

I could stay lost in this moment forever,

Where a moment spent with you is a moment I treasure,

Buffy just lyed her head on his chest as they swayed to the beat of the music. He held her close.

~I don't want to close my eyes, I don't want to fall asleep,

Cause I miss you baby, And I don't want to miss a thing,

Cause even when I dream of you, the sweetest dream will never do,

I still miss you baby and I don't want to miss a thing

~Lying close to you feeling your heart beating,

And I wondering what you are dreaming,

Wondering if it's me you are seeing,

Then I kiss your eyes and thank god we're together,

I just want to stay with you in this moment forever and forever forever

~I don't want to close my eyes, I don't want to fall asleep,

Cause I miss you baby, And I don't want to miss a thing,

Cause even when I dream of you, the sweetest dream will never do,

I still miss you baby and I don't want to miss a thing

He looked down at Buffy and he swore he saw a tear but all he could do was smile at her. He did it, he got her back, the one.

~And I don't want to miss one smile,

I don't want to miss one kiss,

I just want to be with you right here with you,

Just like this, I just want to hold you close,

I feel your heart so close to mine

And just stay here in this moment,

For all of the rest of time

~I don't want to close my eyes, I don't want to fall asleep,

Cause I miss you baby, And I don't want to miss a thing,

Cause even when I dream of you, the sweetest dream will never do,

I still miss you baby and I don't want to miss a thing

The song ended and everyone clapped, he kissed her and led her off the dance floor to where Faith stood.

Buffy: Thanks Faith.

Faith: Anything for you B... anything.

~~~

A couple hours later the prom ended. Spike drove Buffy home in his convertible, her falling asleep on his shoulder. He kissed her forehead.

Spike: love you Buffy. I really do, I know it now.

In her head she swore she head him say this but ignored it. I love him so much was all she could think and she knew her life would be wonderful now that Spike was by her side.
