*3 days later*

As Faye awoke she noticed that all members of the Bebop crew, even Ein were

staring down at her with care and concern. She mainly noticed Spike. His

head was faced down and his attention seemed to be more interested with the

lines that traced the tiles, his head turned a little sideways. Jet and Ed

sat in two chairs that rested across from her bed, Ein piled into Ed's lap.

"Must have been a big piece of glass," Faye uttered.

Jet looked up and smiled at her. "More like 8 tiny pieces all into

your back and one large one that decided it was going to meet your front

side." Faye frowned and squeezed Ed's hand that now sat on the side of her

bed.

"Ed thought Faye-Faye was going to die. Ed didn't type on tomato for

3 days... Nope-nope-nope!" Faye smiled, and retracted her hand away from

Ed's grasp. "I'm ok Ed, but it seems as if Spike's gotten his head down in

the dumps." She started to smirk, when she noticed Spike stood up to exit

the room. "What's wrong with him?" She questioned herself, while turning

to Jet.

"Its not easy when your co-partner ends up hurt and the guilt starts

to take over." Faye looked down at the ground and let a tear fall.

"It still hurts..." She whipped the tear away trying to cover her

emotions.

"Yeah I know. Just try not to move too much, and get some rest,

alright. We were worried about you." Faye nodded, as Jet stood and placed

his heavy hand on her shoulder. "By the way... even though Spike killed the

bounty, we took the body into the cops and they gave us 4 hundred woolongs

for being the only ones able to actually ring him in. Apparently he was

only 15 but learned from his father how to kill at an early age...poor

kid." Jet smiled down at Faye and left the room, with Ed and Ein not too

far behind.

Faye turned her head slightly to hear Jet tell Spike something from

the hallway. Seconds later, Spike re-entered then set at Faye's. "I'm

sorry Faye... I didn't mean to hurt you." Faye looked up at him and

laughed.

"Don't be a lunkhead, for once it wasn't your fault. I didn't even

feel a thing." She tried to smile but instead started to cry as the pain

ached through her body.

"Hey-hey easy...it's alright." Spike soothed.

Faye rubbed at her eyes as the tears slowed themselves down. "I

didn't even feel anything... I feel like such a fool. Usually when glass

hits, you feel it. It's not like it's a comforting feeling!" Spike looked

back down for a minute before grabbing to hold her hand.

"The adrenaline was probably pumping so hard you didn't even know

what to feel... and I still can't help but think that if I hadn't of landed

so hard onto you that the glass wouldn't have embedded into your back the

way it did." With that Spike stood to his feet and squeezed Faye's hand

before letting go. "And for that I owe you everything... if it had hit any

main vein you could have internally bled to death...It's my fault." Closing

the door behind him, Faye didn't even have time to say something to stop

him from leaving.

*Walk with me

Open your sensitive mouth

And talk to me

Hold out your delicate hands

And feel me

Couldn't make any plans

To conceal me

Open your sensitive mouth

Hold out your delicate hands

With such a sensitive mouth

I'm easy to see through

When I come up

When I rush

I rush for you

Cry for you

Seen the tears

Roll down from my eyes for you

Heard my truth

Distoring to lies for you

Watched my love

Becoming a prize for you

Seen the tears in my eyes

Heard the truth in my lies

Seen the tears in my eyes

I'm not proud of what I do

When I come up

When I rush

I rush for you

I come up to meet you

Up there somewhere

When I rush to greet you

My soul is bared

Gave more for you

Dropped my crutches

And crawled on the floor

for you

Went looking behind every

door for you

And because of the things

That I saw for you*
