Chapter 3
Buffy awoke in a Hospital lobby chair with a leather jacket laid on her. She sat up and looked around, she saw Xander first, sitting two seats from her left and then saw Willow standing near the door. She then saw Spike leaned against a wall to her right.
"Morning, love," he said catching her stare. Xander and Willow looked over. "Wh-What time is it?" Buffy asked groggily. "About 3:00 in the morning," Xander answered. "Dawn!" Buffy said, "Oh, god I forgot to go get her!" "Buffy," Willow said walking over, "It's ok. I went and got her when she got out of school. Everything's ok." "Where is she?" she asked. "In the bathroom," Xander answered. Buffy nodded, "Any. any word yet?" "Well," Willow started, "He had a mild heart attack but he's in recovery now and they said he should be just fine except." "What?" Buffy said worriedly. "He." Xander tried. "What???" She asked starting to freak out. "He may have suffered some." Spike said walking over to the gang, ".brain damage." "Oh, god." Buffy replied putting her hand over her mouth. The others hung their heads.
"Oh," Dawn said walking in, "you're up." It was easy to see that Dawn had been crying; she had puffy, red, blotchy eyes. Buffy stood up, walked over to Dawn, and gave her a big hug. Dawn hugged her back and some new tears fell.
Dawn caught Spike's eyes and quickly looked away. She hadn't been able to look at him since what happened at school. She thought she had forgiven him but she started to realize forgiveness for something like that would be a very long and hard road.
"I love you, Dawn." Buffy said as a tear fell down her cheek. "I love you too." Dawn replied. Spike pulled out a cigarette but Willow pointed to the no smoking sign above the door. He gave her a pleading look but she just shook her head. He hesitated but then nodded and put it away.
A nurse walked out with a sad look on her face. They all walked over to her quickly. "What's going on, is he ok???" Buffy asked fearfully. "Um." she said with tears in her eyes, "we lost him.I'm sorry." Buffy's mouth dropped open in disbelief and she turned to walk off but fell. She felt Spike's arms catch her as she blacked out.
