Tonight and the rest of my life
Chapter 5
"Warn me next time!" Heaven cried out rubbing her shoulder.
"Why should I warn you? Hold on." Angel said shoving Heaven's shoulder back into its socket, she winced in pain.
"Because I like my arms the way they are Angel." Heaven growled.
It was almost four in the morning, she was moody and the Prom was not what she had wanted it to be but Buffy, Willow, Xander and Oz had fun so she was okay with that. Buffy won an award and she was just as chipper as one person could be when the world was about to end.
"And a demon will warn you." Angel said leaving the room and coming back throwing an icepack at her.
"I think you are just mean to me for the fun of it." Heaven said sitting down in the chair nearest to her.
"Probably." Spike said sitting in the corner of the library away from everyone else.
"Are you scared?" Angel asked sitting on the table next to Buffy and grabbing a bottle of water.
"I am anxious." Heaven said pushing herself up onto the counter with a slight pinching from her shoulder.
"As is normal." Giles said flipping through a book.
"Well, I'm not scared." Xander said lifting his chin and shoving out his chest.
"Of course not." Heaven said laughing.
"At least you guys are back in the game. The more power into this the better." Willow said tapping away at the computer as she usually did.
"Why arent we home? Sleeping? You know that thing you do at night." Cordelia complained, Jason had split a good few hours before and she was becoming very annoying.
"It would be a good idea to go home." Buffy said standing and putting her arms around Angel affectionatly.
"Of course it would be." Xander said standing and stretching.
"I could take some sleep." Willow said yawning.
"So its settled, we sleep." Buffy said grabbing her bag.
"We sleep." Xander said grabbing his own things.
"Are you coming?" Willow asked Heaven a few minutes later as they headed out of the door,she wanted to go home but she had things to do.
"Yeah, I can walk myself home. I am a big girl." Heaven said smiling at them.
Heaven pulled the stakes off of the ground and back into her bag including the small fighting sticks she and Angel had been using. She put her hand on her head and leaned over slightly falling to the ground with soft thud as she was thrown into a catatonic phase. She saw it, the end of the world. As if a small video was being played behind her eyelids she watched them all die and the world ruled by a very large snake. She slipped out of the state to see Spike standing over her shaking her.
"You didnt bite me." Heaven said looking up at him.
"I couldnt if I tried." Spike said pulling her up by the waist.
"Why not?" Heaven asked they were standing so close.
"Not your business. Let me walk you home, it isnt safe out there." Spike said picking up her bag for her and putting his hand on the small of her back.
"Dont try anything with me I could kill you." Heaven said with a smile.
"Yes I saw the way you knocked down Angel." Spike said smiling himself.
"I am just that good." Heaven replied as they walked down the dimly lit streets.
"Really? You have visions, dont you? Why do I always get stuck with the girls who see things." Spike said it more as a statement then a question.
"Stuck who says you're stuck with me?" Heaven asked him as she saw her house in the distance.
"Fate. Bloody fate, look at me." Spike said brooding. "I have a perfectly good looking fresh girl here and I cant lay a hand on you."
"Why?" Heaven asked him, she really wanted to know.
"Why? Every heard that pure love changes everything?" Spike said not meeting her eyes.
"Pure?" Heaven asked not exactly getting it.
"Pure, you are pure and when I met you there wasnt that whole oh hes a vampire dont trust him thing. You were so pure ready to get to know me. This is your fault." Spike said but he didnt feel mad.
"I'm sorry." Heaven said confused.
They stood on her front porch, she knew no one was home. The lights were off and no car was in the driveway, she stood motionless while he held her bag. She looked at him and she knew something right then. He looked up at the same time and their eyes locked. He leaned foreward and ran his hand through her hair then let his lips graze hers ever so lightly. The bag fell from his grasp as he wrapped her up in his arms and she melted into him.

The sun leaked ever so lightly into Heavens room spilling across the floor giving Heaven the opportunity to look at Spike. He was still sleeping and she knew that the moment he woke up that things were just going to get confusing so she slipped out of the bed and closed the shades pulling on clothes from her dresser. Things had totally gone to far last night but she was hardly regretful, he was a great guy even if he had this reputation of being evil. She slid down the stairs with a smile on her face to find it empty, whats new, she thought bitterly. She missed her brothers things werent the same as they had once been.
"You look happy. I should tattle but I assume I wont." She turned and saw Xander standing in her kitchen.
"What are you doing here?" Heaven asked brushing back her hair.
"I am here to wake you and tell you that Giles wants you at the school to prepare for the big bang in like half an hour." Xander said showing arm movements to explain the big bang.
"You know I will get ready and meet you there okay?" Heaven said opening the fridge and pulling out and coke and throwing one at Xander.
"Okay." Xander said going back out the back door.
Heaven leaned against the counter and sighed. She left the kitchen without eating as she had planned and wandered up to her room where Spike was still asleep with his head in the pillow. Heaven smiled, as if he needed the oxygen. It made her think, what kind of life could this be with him? He was evil and he wasnt liked at all by the scooby gang whom she planned on keeping around. He was also a good hundred or so years older then her and he wasnt getting any older.
She rumaged through her closet till she landed on a cute halter and black pants with the heels that werent too high so that she looked nice but she could still kick some butt. She sat infront of her mirror brushing out her hair. She let her head fall into her hands she knew this just may be her last day on this stupid planet. She looked back up when she felt a hand on her shoulder, no reflection but her own. She turned to see Spike standing above her.
"You know," He said picking her up and sitting down in the chair himself and pulling her onto his lap. "I was so evil before I met you. Angelus, not Angel, had nothing on me. I hated everything human and I wanted to suck them all dry. But bloody hell some bird just comes along and I become a mess. You will get through this, if you dont make it I just may take out my fury on the world."
She leaned against him resting her head on his bare chest. He kissed her forehead and sighed. Today just might be the last day of their lives.
