Chapter 12: Losing you

She rushed to him when she saw Adam raise his gun towards Spike. Without hesitation she ran to Spike.

"Spike!!!" she shouted.

Then the gun was fired.

Dawn screamed.

::::::::::::::::::

Look you don't have to apologise. Neither of you. I understand. I just wanted to tell you something.

Alright.

These last few days have been so wonderful and not just the sex.

Spike smiled tenderly.

Everything. You being there for me when I woke up from the hospital. Being patient with me even if I was a bitch.....

Well Buffy it's because I.... love you.

Buffy didn't answer and walked out of the bedroom door.

:::::::::::::::::::

He couldn't hear all of the fighting around him anymore. He couldn't hear Dawn's high-pitched screaming anymore only saw her mouth open and her eyes full of tears but there was no sound. All he could see was Buffy on the floor, blood gushing from the shot wound in her chest.

Salty tears filled his eyes and he took his gun from his holder and shot Adam who was laughing. He fell to floor but Spike shot again and again until Adam's body stopped twitching.

Then he dropped the magnum on the floor and rushed back to Buffy. He took her head and put it on his thighs. Her eyes where looking at him and she tried to speak. But all that came out was a barely audible sound.

"Shhh...baby. Don't talk."

"Spi...ke?"

"I'm here. Just hold on. They called the ambulance. Please hold on..."

Buffy leaned closer to him and whispered something into his ear then she smiled weakly." I love you Spike."

Spike smiled back at her. She was so beautiful even with her tresses messed up and her make-up smeared. " I love you too Buffy. God I love you so much."

Dawn stepped up to her sister's body. Tears fell on her cheeks and she started to weep.

"Dawn...don't cry Dawn. We're Summers women. Strong as hel..."She never finished her sentence.

"No! Stay with me Buffy." he shook her.

But Spike's voice was fading in her head.

Dawn started to cry even louder. Rage overcame her and she found a piece of metal that was stacked against the wall. She picked it up and started to destroy the cross. She kept hammering and thrashing until Spike put a hand on her shoulder and she dropped the metal on the ground and turned around to him. She cried in his shoulder and all he could do was comfort her by taking her in to his arms.

"Ashes to ashes. Dust to dust." the vicar said and then left Dawn, Spike, Joyce, and everybody else at the funeral, around the open coffin. It was lowered and Dawn threw a rose on the coffin as it descended to the ground. Joyce Summers just cried as she watched her eldest daughter being buried. Spike couldn't cry. He was still trying to convince himself that this was all unreal until he saw the headstone dispalying:

Buffy Anne Summers. God wanted his most beautiful angel back with him.

(Author's note:All my respects to Aaliyah.God rest her soul.)

"I'll always love you." he whispered.

They made their way home in silence. Opening the door to her house Dawn stopped suddenly.

"God I can't do this. Everything reminds me of her. How can I go on with my life knowing that I've lost my sister?" she wanted to turn around to leave but Spike stopped her.

"We've got to be strong, Dawnie. She wouldn't want us to be sad."

"What would you know about it? You haven't even cried once! It seems like you don't even care!"

"I can't cry Dawn. There has to be somebody who has to be strong. I have to be that someone. If I start to cry then I won't stop! I love her Dawn and now she's gone! All because of me. She's dead because of me!" Spike could barely hold back his tears.

Dawn hugged him. "It's not your fault. She didn't have to take the bullet but she did. Because she loves you. You would have done the same thing for her. It's not your fault. Look at me." she let go of their embrace and he looked at her tear filled eyes. "It's not your fault. Ok?"

He nodded and gulped. She wiped her tears away and then went over to her mother and they too hugged.

"It's going to be alright. I love you Dawn."

"I love you too mom."

"Well we should all get some rest." her mother advised.

"I can't stay the night here. Can I stay over at Janice's?"

"Of course Honey if it's alright with her mom. Just don't forget that we're leaving tomorrow for Rome."

"How could I? My bags are already packed." and with that she left the house.

Dawn knocked on the door of her best friend's house.

"Oh Dawn." Janice hugged her. "I'm so sorry about everything. Come in."

"Thanks." Dawn was grateful that she still had Janice. Without her Dawn would crumble underneath all this. "I can't stay in my house there are just too many things that remind me of her."

"Sure you can stay here. I mean it is your last night in Sunny D right?"

Dawn nodded. "My mom can't stay here either and she's always wanted to go to Rome so I'm going with her. I can't let her go alone. We both need time to heal."

"Well my mum's out so we can do whatever you want."

"I just want to be with you. You've been such a good friend. I just want to be with you because I'm going to miss you." Dawn started crying and Janice cried with her.

"Oh Dawn I'm going to miss you too."

The aplane flight took a while. Or so it seemed to Dawn. She couldn't wait to get off the plane.

"You ok Nibblet?"

Nibblet. He's started to call me that. Cute. If only I knew what it meant.

"I'm doing alright. It's just..."she stopped.

"What is it?"

"Well this may sound stupid but when I'm up here it's like I'm close to her in heaven but I'm still so far. It's stupid."

"No it's beautiful."

"I just can't think how much she must have hated me. I was such a bitch."

"No." He said a little too loud. "She loved you so much. She even talked about you and how she wanted to make things right. She was just afraid. But she loved you I could always see it in her eyes when she talked about you."

"Really?" Dawn asked quietly.

"Really." he assured her.

Spike had already arranged a car for them and they got in and drove to their future house. Dawn looked out of the window and saw the beautiful city. How the people where so friendly.How everything seemed like you travelled back in time to the old Rome.

Buffy would have loved this.

"Do you like it?" Joyce asked from the front seat.

"I love it."

"Alright here we are." Spike said after another 20 minutes of driving.

Dawn looked at her new house. It was painted a warm yellow and it looked quiet big. Nice red tiles covered the roof and their front garden was beautiful with all sorts of flowers.

Joyce passed her with a suitcase and opened the door.

Dawn took one of her bags and followed her inside. It was even more stunning than she thought it would be. Large space and very bright. She rushed upstairs and opened the first door on her left. It was almost like her old bedroom regarding the size. She went further down the hall and opened another door to reveal a good sized bathroom with a shower/bathtub. Then she came to another room and immediately loved it. It was huge and had two windows.

"I call this room!" she shouted.

"I called it first."

Dawn spun around and saw Buffy stand in the doorway.

"Buffy!!!" she ran to her sister and hugged her tightly. Dawn started to shed tears." I thought you where dead."

"It was all show."

Joyce and Spike came running up the staircase and found the two sisters in a tight embrace.

"Buffy?!!!" her mom asked and Dawn let go of her so that her mother could squeeze the hell out of Buffy aswell.

"My baby. Oh my baby. I missed you so much. But how...?"

"We had to make everyone believe that she was dead. So that we could start new here. I even paid the morgue people money so that they wouldn't tell anyone." Spike answered her question.

"This is amazing!" Dawn said and hugged her sister again.

"So you guys must be hungry." Buffy asked.

Everyone nodded. "Alright why don't you two go downstairs so I can talk to Spike for a moment." Dawn and her mother gave each other a grin and then walked back down the stairs towards the kitchen.

"We did it."

"Yeah we did." Buffy smiled at him." So are you going to stay here with us?"

"Forever. I love you."

"I love you too." she kissed him passionately.

Buffy realized that this was the first time that they had kissed. Then she blissfully knew that it wouldn't be the last time.
