Chapter 6 hurt

Spike just got off from work, it was now three in the morning. Spike felt like the darkness was mocking him. Spike got out of his car, and went up to the front door. He was so tired he couldn't wait to climb in bed with Buffy.
He pulled out his key, unlocked the door, and walked in throwing his keys on the coffee table.
Figuring Buffy was asleep; he went into the bedroom to find the bed empty.
Confused Spike looked around the house. She was no where to be seen.
Spike gave up figuring she went out somewhere.
Spike had bought her a cell phone a few days ago so he wouldn't have to about her safety.
He picked up the portable phone and dialed her number.
"Ring."
"Ring."
"Ring."
"Ring."
The ringing was coming from his office.
Even more confused Spike walked to his office to find a bloody and bruised Buffy. There was a note next to her.
Is she really worth it?
His eyes widened at the sight. He quickly ran over to her went into her pocket to find the cell phone. He dialed 911.

The white dresses EMTs rolled Buffy out of the house on a stretcher and rolled her into the ambulance.
"Would you like to ride with her?" One of the EMTs asked Spike.
"Diffidently." Spike climbed in after the EMT.
Spike grabbed Buffy's hand as they drove. Spike couldn't believe this happened. Just yeaterday they were watching movies, kissing and basically loving each other.
"So what happened?" The EMT asked breaking Spike out of his daze.
"I don't know I came home from work to find her like this."
"The cops will probably talk to you at the hospital."
"I know."
Spike squeezed the unconscious girl's hand hoping she would just wake up and everything would be better.
He couldn't believe this. He thought it was his entire fault. He shouldn't have left her alone. It was to soon to leave her by herself with that abused boyfriend probably still looking for her. Spike knew it was Angel who did it but he had doubt he would be able to prove it.
They pulled into the hospital, the doors swung open and they pulled Buffy out Spike tried to follow but they told him to wait in the waiting room.
Spike didn't want to leave her but he obeyed.

Spike sat in the waiting room with his head in his heads. He was the only one in there except for an elderly couple. A doctor came up to Spike.
"Mr. Giles?"
"Yes, I'm Mr. Giles."
"The young woman you came in has experienced a few broken ribs. But other than that just a few bruises. It looks like whoever had done this wasn't trying to hurt her more that just trying to scare her. She should be awake soon just be patient."
"Can I see here?"
"Yes, she's in room 306"
"Thank you."

Spike walked down the hall he was passing rooms that was full of crippled people in every room.
300.
302.
304.
Finally 306.
Spike walked into see Buffy hooked up to so many wires. Spike just kept hoping he would wake up and it would all be a dream and he would be laying in bed with her.
Spike felt tears threatening to fall he held them back. He figured she wouldn't be up for a while so he decide to go to the gift shop to get his mind off of the situation. He was going to the gift shop.

Spike walked into the gift shop. A young woman standing behind the counter started to talk to him.
"Hello I'm Kendra, how can I help you?"
"I'm looking for a gift. Hence why I'm here." He said with a smile hoping it would lighten his mood. It didn't work.
"How about a balloon and flowers they're always popular."
Spike thought. "Could I have 4 dozen roses and 5 get well balloons?"
Kendra's eyes widened.
"Of course Sir."
Kendra went over to the refrigerator and pulled out 4 dozen beautiful crimson colored roses.
"Would you like cards for them?"
"No thank you."
Kendra pointed to a display of balloons. "The balloons are over there, go ahead and pick them out."
Spike walked over and grabbed a few random balloons.
He went over to the counter and gave them to Kendra. She ran them up.
"50.99" She said taking his money. "May I ask who they re for?"
"They are for...my girlfriend."
Kendra's face fell. "I am so sorry. It's harder when it's someone you really love."
"Tell me about it." Spike said grabbing his purchases and leaving.

Buffy woke up not knowing where she was.
She looked around to see Spike sitting in a chair next to her with his head resting on the bed. She smiled and tapped him lightly.
"Spike?"
No answer.
"Spike?"
"Buffy?" He asked opening his eyes.
"Hey." She said
"Buffy. Oh my god. You're awake."
He stood up and hugged her tightly.
"Uh, Spike. Oxygen is becoming an issue."
He let go and kissed her on her forehead. Buffy looked around the room to see flowers and balloons everywhere. Spike grabbed her hand not daring to let go, he felt like if he did she would somehow disappear.
"Did you do this?" She said pointing to the decorations.
"Yes. Do you remember what happened last night?"
"No."
"Well I came home and you were on the floor in my office like this."
"Oh. When do you think I could go home?" She said with a smile.
"Don't you want to know who did this?" Spike said with an angry tone.
"I know it was Angel but you know we have no way to prove it and I don't want to mess with him right now."
"I don't blame you. The doctor said you could probably go home tomorrow. Let me tell them your up."
