Disclaimer: I don't own CB okay? It's not mine, and if it were, I'd change the ending (but it's not mine and I love the ending as it's the best possible one). This is the second chapter of my short story. I might do a 'prologue' about what happens after all this, if I get let's see.... 7 more reviews. If you have any objections, don't complain to me and get a life while you're at it. Have a nice day and enjoy this chapter! Slight fluff, not too much though. ;-)
Months to The Day
Chapter 2: Shock
"Oh yeah? Hmmm, I wonder who?" Faye looked straight into his eyes. "What the-?" Spike could see about three or more emotions in Faye's sharp emerald eyes, only they weren't as sharp as usual. 'Keep it together damnit! Don't freak out!' Spike thought. "No, it's not-""Ye- yes. Okay, I admit it, Spike..." Spike was totally shocked. She looked a bit weak when she said that, and it was unusual. "How long..?" "You know when, Spike." 'Huh? Wait- when she tried stopping me...' Faye looked away feeling a bit embarrassed to say that kind of a thing, she was most certainly not the type for love and romance, okay so maybe a bit when she first met Whitney, but that was years ago. Spike, for her, was different. Spike directed his gaze toward the sunset instead of Faye. 'It's pretty peaceful around now, hell even Faye seems that way. Goddamnit! Why the hell am I thinking of that good-for nothing woman!!!! But, she's different now... Talk about changes.' Spike thought. 'Spike.... You don't know how much we needed you... how much I need you.... why? Why did you have to leave us?! Why did you nearly go and kill yourself?! How could you not be here when we needed you the most!?!?!?! But I'm happy... that you lived.' Faye thought.
"Spike, what're you thinking..?" Faye asked. She noticed Spike looked like he was thinking of something, and it wasn't good. "Nothing. Why do you care at all?" "Spike, I care because we've been comrades for God-knows how damn long! What are you thinking?! Are you going to run off again?!" Tears were drenching Faye's porcelain cheeks. "Don't cry on me. No point in crying to someone who's already dead." Spike's look was a bit suddenly icy. Faye gasped a bit. "Are you going to kill yourself again?! I won't let you! We need you here!" "I wasn't allowed to leave, end my dream. I didn't die, I wasn't allowed to make that choice." "Spike! What are you saying?! I understand you, but tell me why?!" Faye was literally yelling at the top of her lungs, and luckily Ed was napping, and Jet was too busy in the hangar fixing something to hear the conversation Faye and Spike were having. "I want to escape... I want to leave. I have nothing left. Julia's gone, Vicious is gone, and I have nothing left to live for. What is there for me left to care about?" "Me... and the rest of us..." She hit one of his nerves. 'Sigh, I do have someone left after all. She cares, and I... do care about her. I do have friends who care... Now when think about it, I'm really not alone.' Spike thought. Faye was crying harder than ever and turned away from Spike's gaze. "Faye, look at me." She looked at him. He wiped her tears away and she hugged him. She ran her fingers through his hair. 'Her touch is... gentler than you'd think...' "Spike, please. Stay here with us." "Yeah..." She leaned forward to kiss him, and he backed away slowly so she wouldn't notice. 'What the hell are you doing?! Just kiss her, DO IT damnit!' Spike mind was yelling at him. 'Err, fine.' He kissed her. Faye ran her fingers through his hair again, and he put a hand to her cheek. "Spike..." Faye was now grabbing at his tie. Suddenly, they both heard footsteps coming towards them. "Someone's coming!" They fixed themselves to look like nothing happened. It was Jet. "What're two up to?" "Nothing, we were just talking." Spike lied. "Nothing important." Faye added in snatching the cigarettes out of Spike's hand a lighting one up. 'Yeah, right. These two never change do they?' Jet thought sarcastically. "Dinner's ready. C'mon let's go in." So they all walked in, Ed was already clawing at the food and Ein was messily eating it.. No one ever knew about what happened except for Faye and Spike. Well, maybe.... ;-) Was there someone watching them the whole time? Could there have been?
