Chapter 4
Buffy falls to the ground, Spike rushes out of the house to hold her while the new information sinks in. Officer Angel turns and leaves the family alone. He hates this part of the job.
Dawn is the first to say anything. "Who are you and why are you in my mother's house."
Spike turns and just tells her about his car that broke down so her sister let him stay the night in the house." That's when they notice who he was, but all he saw is Buffy crying body on the ground. He picks her up and carries her into the house. Beth tells him that she will be taking care of all arrangements, so don't let Buffy worry about it. He just tells her thanks and gives her his number in LA so if they need anything for her to call.
He tries to get Buffy to talk but all she does is staring and whispering "no it's not true she is alive and coming home to us. We are going to be a family again." It breaks Spike's heart to see the pain in her face. The others leave so they can arrange for the funeral. Spike remembers how it felt to loss his mum years ago.
Later that day Buffy has to go to work and she gets up as if it's a normal day. Spike is scared for her because of the way she is acting, so he takes her to work and stays there with her. People stare at him when he gets out of the car with all black in the summer heat. Buffy just walks right in the store and goes to work, as if nothing has happened. Spike stays there because he knows that she is in shock. She acts like a robot doing what it was programmed to do. As a customer comes up to her and asks if she heard who won the game last night, Buffy looks at him but doesn't really see him. She crumbles to the floor crying. She sits behind the counter in ball crying until she has made herself sick. Spike goes to her and picks her up in his arms and pulls her to his lap. He tells the manger that she quits and to send her last paycheck to the address on the card he hands him. Then he picks her up and carries her to the car. She just sits looking out the window not really seeing any of what goes by, she falls to sleep with the help of the motion of the car. Spike could thought she more pretty then she was right the.
