A/N 'Hopelessly Devoted' is from the Musical and Movie Grease. I just thought it would be very Buffy.
Guess mine is not the first heart broken
My eyes are not the first to cry
I'm not the first to know
There's just no getting over you
Although I'm just a fool who's willing
To sit around and wait for you
But baby can't you see
There's nothing else for me to do
I'm Hopelessly Devoted to you
But now there's no where to hide
Since you pushed my love aside
I'm out of my head
Hopelessly Devoted to you
My Head is saying fool forget him
My Heart is don't let go
Hold on till the end
That's what I intend to do
I'm Hopelessly Devoted to you
Hopelessly Devoted to you
"She's mourning" Lorne explained to Spike unnecessarily. "He's the one who opened her heart for the first time and right when she put every ounce of trust in him he betrayed her. After months of living with that betrayal she had to betray him or sacrifice the world. She's so strong. No, I'm not talking about the strength it takes to run a stake through a vampire. I'm talking about the strength it takes to get up in the morning."
"Will she be okay?" Spike asked.
Lorne stared at him hard, "Eventually, but she's still unbelievable fragile. The slightest jolt to her system and she could bury herself so deep no one could get her out. You hurt her and I'll find someone to kill you, believe me when I say I have some nasty demons that owe me favors."
"So how tone deaf am I?" Buffy smiled coming over to Spike and Lorne.
"You were magnificent Sweetness," Lorne smiled. "In fact, if you ever want to stop waitressing at that restaurant. I could always use some help around here. The pays fair, you only have to work nights, and I promise my customers are so well behaved you won't have to slay them."
"Really, you're offering me a job after one song?" Buffy asked incredulously.
"Let's just say. You've been through so much, that I want to make things easier on you." Lorne explained.
"I'll take it." Buffy hugged Lorne.
"Terrific, I see you here tomorrow night at six," Lorne smiled. "Now if you'll excuse me I have to go read a graph demon, who just picked My Heart Will Go On. Will someone for the love of God get me a Seabreeze.
