15 minutes later I was holding Buffy in my arms "when do you think that ambulance will be here?" asked Dawn
"Screw the bloody ambulance lets just take my car" I replied
"You know you'll get blood all over your seats" said Dawn
"You think I give a shit" I shot back at her
"Your driving I'm sitting in the back with her" I sat there pissed beyond all reason. Was not what else to do so I just held her "she promised me Dawn" unable to stop what I was about to say
"What did she promise you Spike?" asked Dawn
"That she would never become my wounded angel"
"She's been my best friend for years and she would not do that on purpose" said Dawn trying to wipe away tears
"You know what Dawn Buffy and I have the same blood type"
We made it to the hospital in ten minutes, which was normally a 15 minute drive following the speed limit. When we brought Buffy in it was total chaos. When the doctors finally got her breathing on her own again. They came to talk to us "Buffy is stabilized but, we'll have to do some tests and since your not actually family"
"Were not leaving," I yelled pissed off they even suggestion us leaving
"Well you're both cant stay here" I looked at Dawn and said
"Why don't you go home so you don't get in anymore trouble and I'll call soon as I here anything" I replied
As I sat there holding Buffy's hand I started to think about when she asked me while I was kicking her ass if I believed in soul mates I said yes and I was hoping with all my heart that mine would not leave me. Then the came in looking grim and right then and there I knew it was bad news "Buffy has serve damage to the kidneys and a great amount of blood loss. The kidneys will heal in time but, we need to find someone to give blood because of the shortage we have or she may not make it though the night" I remember having her time and mine flash before my eyes. The Doctor snapped me back to reality. "The drugs she was given should were off in about five minutes then I'll be back to see if she knows anyone with her blood type"
"Wait I'm her blood type" I said hoping I could actually give blood being in my condition.
"Okay will start the transfusion as soon as she wakes up"
When she woke up the only thing I said was "love how you feeling" the doctor came in and told Buffy everything the only thing she wanted asked was "who is the blood coming from?"
"Me" I said she looked shocked probably thinking the same thing I was could I even give blood. "Why" she asked
"Because I love you and don't want to lose you" Buffy got up to walk to me but I wouldn't let her. The transfusion went smoothly surprisingly and the doctor said she was free to go home. When we were sitting in front of my house I asked if she would tell me what happened "when I got home I found my books and papers all over the place so went to my bedroom to call you and then I was hit 5 of 6 times in the kidneys and Daniel was standing of me"
"You mean your ex- boyfriend from out there?" I said as cut her off
"Yes he was anyway he said... he said he loved me and needed me and that he would do anything to get to me even kill you" she finished in ragged sobs. All I could do was try to hold her she wouldn't let me and she started to shake uncontrollably. When she finally finished shaking she said, "let's go question Daniel"
"Love are you sure you want to do this?" I asked her
"Yeah" we drove in complete silence all could think about was how I wanted to drove my first though his face. When we got to Daniel's trailer I told Buffy "don't go off by your self I wont let him hurt you and I love you"
"I know," whispered Buffy. Then we were on Daniels steps and I remember the breeze came fast and hard, which made Buffy shiver. So I threw my coat over her which must pissed her off otherwise she probably would not have punched me. Finally Daniels dad came to the door highly pissed off. Yes we knew it was late but couldn't care less. "Daniel I thought you killed Buffy"
"I'm coming to finish the job"
We were all standing in front of the lake while Daniel went on about how much he supposedly missed Buffy I couldn't take it anymore "Daniel who are you really after me or her and why the hell would you try to kill her" I said
"Swear all I did was go over there and trash the house, oh yeah and try to rape her" then Daniel pulled a knife out and held it at Buffy's throat "if you leave right now I wont hurt her"
"Okay I'll leave" I replied as I watched her eyes fill with tears. I walked up to her and whispered something I had never said because then she would have known the truth "its goanna be strong its goanna be true because its goanna change everything I feel I love you" and then I kissed her for what felt like forever. Then Buffy screamed, "I care about Spike because he will always be in my heart" that must have really pissed him off because he drove the knife right though her. I watched as her eyes filled with more tears and spilled over and she gasped two words "I care" I did not move in fear he would drive it though her again. Daniel now knew what he did "Buffy" I ran to her and carried in my arms letting her head rest on my chest. "It doesn't matter you'll never get her out alive your just sealing her fate to death" said Daniel and if looks could kill the look I shot Daniel would have killed him right then and there. Then I placed Buffy in the front seat of the car. Dawn sat up in the backseat and pulled out a map of the park. Then Buffy spit out the uneaten blood tablet and pulled off the vest the cut would just need some gauze and peroxide. "Lets get out of here" said Buffy "so Dawn I heard you got grounded how did you get out and what did you do anyway"
"Yes I got gorunded in the first place for making out with Jake and my mom caught us she said I could never see Jake again I called your house to see if I could stay with you. I got ungrounded after my mom found out what happened to you."
"Damn you moved faster then me and Spike did"
"Yeah right" Dawn replied laughing
"Oh Dawn you have to come back Spike's house with us"
"Why" asked Dawn
"You'll see" I replied
"I miss Jake" Dawn exclaimed
As we pulled in to my driveway Jake Stepped out on the sidewalk. "Lets go inside it's cold out here" said Buffy when we walked in the music was playing and the backlights made everything have a white glow to it while they danced I ordered pizza. Then I walked up to Buffy as I saw Jake walk up to Dawn and we both asked them "would you dance if I asked you to dance" Then Dawn and Buffy stood to embrace us. Then we moved slowly to the music I asked, "love would you tremble if I touched your lips"
"Yes" Buffy replied as she started to shake in my arms.
"I see you weren't lying," I said as I held her tighter
"Okay my turn would you safe my soul tonight?" Buffy asked
"Anytime you want me to," I replied
Spike and Buffy were walking down a dark alley holding hands in the pale moonlight. Then gunshots were fried Buffy fell in to Spike's arms there was so much blood Spike could not tell where the blood was coming from nor how many bullets had hit. As Spike lowered her to the ground and listened to her shallow and ragged Breathing "I need you to know you're in my heart and I'm... sorry your angel has to go back"
"Damn it Buffy I'm not losing the only real angel in my life" cried Spike
As the doorknob clicked and Buffy woke up. "Angel are you okay"
"Yeah" the phone started to ring
"Hello"
"Hi is Buffy there?"
"May I ask who is calling?" I asked
"It's Andrew"
"Okay here she is"
"How did you know where to find me"?
"Okay"
"That's okay it's not your flaut"replied Buffy
"What do you mean by anything" asked Buffy then all she did was put the phone back on and looked back up at me. "I believe in you" by the way she said it I knew something was wrong "Buffy" I said she collapsed in my arms.
"Dejvu" I said aloud less then a week ago I was here in the same hospital same room even. Holding Buffy hand yet again then she squeezed my hand "thank you" she mouthed then flat lined
"Doctor... Doctor" I sercmed horrified
"You'll have to leave sir" by now the tears were running down my face I put my hand to the glass window
"I love you Buffy"
