Chapter 26
As Spike broads a plane back to the states; Buffy is driving and passing the come again sign at the California state line. Both are thinking about the other, but Buffy is thinking how to hide from Spike. She tries to prepare her sisters for the news that they are back at square one again. The girls talk about what is going to happen now and they all don't like the out come.
Spike departs his plane and as soon as he gets out of the waiting area he flips his phone out and calls Buffy numbers. The home number just gets pick up by the machine and her cell phone says she is not contactable. He finally calls Wes to come and get him.
Spike enters the waiting car and asks the question that has been bothering him since he heard the news of Buffy attack. "Wes thanks for picking me up. I am still having trouble finding Buffy. Do you know were she might be, Wes?"
"I took her straight home from the hospital and that is the last time I spoke with her or saw her for matter of fact." Wes really does not know more then Spike because he has been busy lining up audition and concerts dates for Spike. Wes drove while telling Spike about everything that has happen since his departure. It upsets Spike to hear the details of the last week or so.
Spike unlocks the front door; walking in the house he doesn't see anything out of the ordinary. He calls Buffy's name but to no avail. So he heads for his bedroom, he slowly opens the door incase Buffy is asleep. She not there, but there is a note on his pillow. He picks up and reads it.
William,
I am so sorry to have to do this in this way, but I know if I saw you I wouldn't leave. I can't take the pressure of your world it scares me and I don't want to be afraid anymore. I am not safe and I can't live like this anymore. My sisters Dawn and Eve are with me, so don't worry about them. I feel this is the best thing for the both of us. Now you don't have to worry about me and I can feel safe in my own world. Please don't try and find us, we will be fine once we get settled. I know I own you my life but what is a life if you are too afraid to live in it. Know that I will always love you and my heart is breaking as I write this. I leave you with this thought: If things were different could I stay? If you were not a star could I stay? The answer is I love you as you are not the big star but as William.
With Love,
Buffy
Spike slides down the bed onto the floor, is this real or am I dreaming? He puts his head in his hands and cries until he can't see straight. He promises the four walls and any higher beings he will find her and she will come back.
Buffy pulls in to a small run down motel, paying for a room she and Dawn, Eve sat out to map their way back home. Dawn is the first to question Buffy's real motive. "Buffy why are we really running away from our nice home and a man you love in it?"
"Ok, fare enough, the real reason is I'm pregnant and after that thing with Spike's ex I feel that bringing a child into that place was wrong. I was always scared when I went places after the mall incident. I don't want my baby to be sacred all the time too." Buffy explains too the girls. "Now let's go to sleep so we can get on the road early."
"Where are we going?" Eve asks of her older sister. "Back to Texas, Xander and Willow can put us up until I find a job there." Buffy replies.
"We have nothing in Texas, why can't we just move to another house in LA?" Dawn asks. "We are going to drive as far as this car and my cash can take us; then work our way back with odd jobs."
Both Buffy and Spike are trying to make since of the situation. Buffy driving on auto pilot unaware that Spike is at home crying still in the same place he fell the day before.
