Point Of View
Chapter 13
Willow's POV
I stare at Spike. He's taking me back to my room. When we enter I see Dawn.
"Dawnie." I cry the girl's name, and she rushes forward to hug me.
"Why did you leave?" Dawn Questions me.
"A lot of reasons. I'm so sorry about Buffy" I whisper to the girl in my arms.
"Its okay, it was her time. She knew it." Dawn tells me.
I stare at them both, "I guess you can stay with me." I look at Spike. "It's actually a bit ironic. I was about to teach my class Demonology when here arrives a vampire" I chuckle slightly.
"Demonology?" Dawn raises her eyebrows. "What exactly are you teaching here?"
I laugh, "You'll see" I say, stroking her soft hair. Dawn yawns and I realise how late it is. The house elves must have set up the sofa, because it is now a sofa bed. I lie Dawn down and tuck her in. "Night Dawnie."
"Night Willow, Spike" she murmurs, half asleep
"Goodnight bit" Spike says.
Dawn is drifting off to sleep and Spike looks at me. "We need to talk pet." He says. I nod and take him to my room. Once in he turns to me. "Why DID you leave?" he questions me. "I know hurting the Bit was only a part of it."
I turn to him, remembering seeing his body intertwined with Buffy's, there mouths seeking each others out. It was too painful. "I can't."
"Red, we were friends, why can't you tell me?"
"I know we were friends" the word sounding bitter in my mouth. "It had nothing to do with you." I blatantly lie, turning away from him and walking to my closet.
Spike's hand shot out and grabbed me by the arm. "Why Pet? And don't lie." I look into his eyes; they were blazing in annoyance, anger, and concern. Then in an uttermost calm voice I say.
"You. I left because of you." And I release my arm from his grip and walk into my bathroom.
I return in my pyjamas. Spike looks confused. He was never the smart one when it came to my feelings for him.
"What do you mean? What did I do to make you leave?"
"Nothing Spike. Absolutely nothing." I reply, confusing him even more.
I climb into bed and Spike comes and lies next to me. "Pet, are you saying that you have feelings for me?"
I am amazed that he finally got it, but I don't want to be hurt again. "I did Spike. In fact I once fancied myself in love with you."
Spike looks shocked.
"But your heart belonged to my best friend. Anyway, it's all in the past now" I say to him. "You're my best friend Spike, and only that."
Yeah, keep telling yourself that. I say to myself as I fall asleep.
