Buffy's mom picked her up early that day. She called her after her
little incident in English class and told her she wasn't feeling well,
which was the truth, she was sick to her stomach. When they arrived home
Buffy went up to her room and lay in bed and just cried. She couldn't
believe this was happing; he was once so nice to her and now, all those
lies he was spreading about her. How can someone change so quickly? Or
maybe he didn't change at all, maybe he had two faces. After about two
hours of crying Buffy finally fell asleep only to be woken up at about 6:30
by Dawn shaking her.
"Buffy, Buffy wake up, it's dinnertime" Dawn said.
"I'm not hungry" Buffy said, turning away from her sister.
"Buffy what's wrong?" Dawn asked.
"Nothing, just please go away" Buffy said.
"But Buffy-" Dawn began, but was cut off by Buffy.
"I said go!" she screamed at her. Dawn was startled by here big sister's tone and ran downstairs crying. A couple minutes later Joyce came upstairs.
"Elizabeth, what did you do to your-" she began, but stopped when she saw the tears in Buffy's eyes. "What's wrong?"
"Everything's so messed up mom" she said as she sat up. "I feel like. . .I feel dirty."
"Why?" Joyce asked as she sat down on Buffy's bed.
"You think you know people. . .you start to trust them, and you believe that they're whole and good and then. . .I don't know, maybe I deserve what Spike's doing to me" she said.
"Honey, what' s going on?" Joyce asked.
"He's spreading lies about me mom, he's saying things. . .things that aren't true" she told her. "He's saying we. . ." she whispered almost in tears again.
"You didn't did you?" Joyce asked.
"Of course not, what do you think I am?" Buffy asked angrily.
"I'm sorry honey, but as a mother I had to ask, it was in the manual" she said smiling, this made Buffy smile as well. "Are you sure you don't want to come down for dinner?"
"Yeah, I just want to sleep" she said. She laid down again and closed her eyes. Joyce just sat there with her stroking her hair until she fell asleep.
* Buffy's Dream *
Buffy's eyes met his. She couldn't of been happier than this moment right now. Her lips reached his as the minister announced their marriage. He kissed her tenderly.
"I love you" he whispered in her ear.
"I love you too Spike" she whispered back. As the music played again they walked hand in hand back down the aisle and into the white limo that waited for them. They were married. As they the driver drove them to the reception hall they spent their time alone making out as husband and wife. When the limo came to a stop the got out and waked into the hall.
"Introducing Mister and Missus William Bryson" the deejay announced and Spike and Buffy walked in hand in hand smiling as everyone clapped.
"Okay, let's get right to the chase, let's have the bride and groom dance" Spike's father said and everyone laughed. Spike and Buffy waked onto the dance floor and the deejay played the song Buffy had requested when they hired him, 'I Will Always Love You' by Whitney Huston. They danced slowly as she snuggled her face in his shoulder. She closed her eyes as they moved along the dance floor. The guests watched them with happiness as they danced. Nothing in the world existed at that moment except them, just him and her.
"Buffy. . ." she heard him whisper and she looked into his eyes. "It's time to wake up."
"What?" she said confused.
*End Buffy's Dream*
Joyce was shaking her daughter lightly trying to wake her.
"Buffy, come on get up, it's time for school" she said. Buffy opened her eyes and realized that the whole ting was just a dream. She sighed with disappointment as she sat up.
"Are you feeling better honey?" Joyce asked.
"A little" she said and then got up and went to her closet like she did every morning.
"Sweetie. . .you don't have to go to school today if you don't want to" Joyce said.
"No, it's okay, I'm gonna have to face up to it sometime. . .I know that I just have to forget about him. . .it's over, but then again there was nothing really there to begin with" she said and got out her clothes.
"Okay, I'll leave you to get dressed" Joyce said and left Buffy's room, shutting the door behind her. Buffy got dressed and looked in the mirror. She would be okay. . .she hoped.
"Buffy, Buffy wake up, it's dinnertime" Dawn said.
"I'm not hungry" Buffy said, turning away from her sister.
