Chapter 25

When Wes gets to the hospital he founds Buffy in a room with police and doctors coming and going quickly. He walked to her and that is when he noticed her blank stare. He said her name softly while taking her hand. She turn to him, "Wes, is he died?"

"Yes I am sorry but yeah he didn't make it. I came to take you home and call Spike."

"No don't call Spike about this," she says to Wes, "let's not worry him. I am fine and he has to work. So promise me you will not call him."

'Ok Buffy but I think this is a wrong decision to make. He would want to be here with you."

"I want you to go check me out so we can go home. Then we will talk about all this and make a decision." Buffy tells him to change the subject. When Wes came back Buffy followed him to his car. She sat there looking out the window of the car; watching building and cars going by.

Buffy walks to her room slowly, she takes her clothes off and climbs into bed. All she does is look at the ceiling and listen to the voice in her head telling her to run. Buffy remembers the doctor words while she waited for Wes. (Ms Summers the baby seems not to be harmed. Just go home and relax, take it easy for a day or two.)

Buffy makes a very hard decision to make when you love someone. She calls the girls and arrange for them to come early form school. She then packs her bags and then girls too. Buffy packs the car and then drives out of Spikes life.

Buffy stays at a hotel near the airport so she can pick the girls up and leave from there back to Texas and out of her lovers' life for good. She gets the girls and she is gone.

Spike calls home to only get the stupid machine again. He thinks (were can she be) when he gets no answer at home he calls Dawn and Eve to arrange for them to come home with him but they are gone too. Spike finally calls Wesley; the phone rings once then twice before it is pick up.

"Hello" Wes says in to the receiver. "Hey Wes what is going on in the states? I can't get Buffy and the girls left yesterday. I was supposed to bring them home at the end of week. Do you know what's going on?"

"Spike; Dru attacked Buffy and she killed some one protecting her. Buffy told me she would call you as soon as she got up the next day. That was three days ago." Wes tells Spike. After driving home he convinced Buffy to call Spike with the detail of what happened.

"I'm coming home on the next plane I can get. Be ready to pick me up when I call. I need to see Buffy and make sure she is fine." Spike says as he gathers his stuff into the suitcase.
