Chapter Nineteen
The shoot had taken longer than expected. Though it was scheduled to finish after two months, it extended to three. In the process of the shoot, Buffy even got injured after twisting her ankle. That led to not only more delays but also having to shoot a lot of scenes using more of her stunt double.
Despite all this, Spike was pretty glad. He got to spend more time with Buffy and got to know Amy and realized she was a pretty cool girl though she was definitely not his type. Parker? Well, he was history. He still worked as a cameraman for the set but as far as being Buffy's potential boyfriend, he was nowhere close. Spike smiled at this thought though he still wanted to kill Parker for what he had done to Buffy. Whenever, he thought about what happened, his blood started to boil and he just felt like hitting something.
What had Parker done to Buffy? Well...
Spike had taken one look at Parker and knew he was bad news and when he talked to Amy, who was Parker's siter about him, he knew he was right. He tried to talk to Buffy about him, but it was obvious that she wasn't ready to talk to him especially after she had seen Spike and Amy kissing in his trailer. Spike wished that he had pushed harder and made her talk to him, just so he could spare her the heartbreak. But he didn't and Parker and Buffy had grown closer. That is until one week after. They were scheduled to shoot that day but Buffy didn't show up at all. Parker was there though, flirting with some new girl. slimebag Later he found out that she had called in sick and was not coming at all. Worried, he went to her house. He kept knocking on the door but no one answered. He tried the doorknob and finding it unlocked he entered.
"Buffy?" Spike called softly as he looked for her. "Buffy?" he called again, yet there was still no response and Spike was getting a little worried. It was either a.) she was still to embarrassed (and perhaps hurt) that he kissed Amy or b.) she was sleeping. He finally found her lying on the couch with her back towards him.
"Buffy! There you are. Look, I have to talk to you about something and I know you might not want to hear it but it's for you own good." Spike said.
"Please go away Spike." Buffy said softly
"No I will not go away. What I have to tell you is important and..." Spike stopped when he heard a sniffle.
"Buffy? Buffy are you sick or something?" He asked worriedly
Hearing no response, he went to her side and that when he saw she was crying.
"Buffy what's wrong?"
Buffy didn't answer him and just cried harder.
Spike put his arms around her and just held her like that for the rest of the day. They didn't say anything at all and a few hours later Buffy had cried herself to sleep. Yet despite this, Spike stayed and just watched her, his mind wondering what had happened. It was pretty late at night when Buffy woke again. Spike had fallen asleep so Buffy carefully slipped out and went to go get him a blanket. The movement though had woken Spike up.
"Buffy?" Spike asked noticing that Buffy had awoken.
"I'm sorry to wake you up Spike."
"No, it's okay. God, what time is it?"
"It's pretty late."
"Where's your mom?"
"She's in Sunnydale and won't be back till next week."
"Oh." Was all Spike could say as they lapsed into silence.
After few minutes, Spike couldn't take it any longer, he had to know...
"Look Buffy, I don't mean to pry but why were you crying?"
"I-I-It-I..." Buffy sputtered out as tears began to form in her eyes again.
"Oh, It's okay. I'm sorry, please don't cry, I didn't mean it."
"Why are you here Spike?" Buffy asked, her unshed tears sparkling in the dim light.
"I was worried about you and I still am. What's wrong?"
"I hate Parker, I really do." Buffy blurted out as she sank to the floor. Though she was talking to Spike, her declaration felt as if she was talking to no one in particular.
"What did he do?" Spike asked gently so as not to make her cry again. It hurt him to see her cry.
Not being able to look at him but feeling that she had to talk to someone Buffy said: "He used me."
"WHAT!?!"
"I slept with him okay! And by the time I had woken up he was gone. I tried calling him but he wouldn't answer my calls. I know you realize now that I'm not really sick, I even went to the set today." Buffy said, all her anger coming out while tears were falling down her face.
After hearing all this and processing it, it hit him: "You saw him today." Spike said in more of a statement than a question.
"Yes, I did. All over some bimbo. I hat him, I hate him, I hate him!!!" Buffy curled up into a fetal position on the floor, her anger being all spent.
Spike immediately went to Buffy and stroked her hair. What else could he do? He could kill Parker, but that would never be enough to take away what that bastard had done to Buffy.
It had taken a few days, until Buffy was finally able to come back to the set and a few weeks to be able to stand to be near Parker. It had helped of course that whenever, they were in the same room together, Spike was there too looking menacingly at Parker.
A/N: Sorry it took so long for me to update but hey, Parker's gone. I hope you guys read and review. Please check out my new story "Assistant", it's another fantasy fic. Anyway, that's all for now. : )
