Chapter 16 - Everywhere

My eyes were heavy and I felt so weak. I hurt all over. Where was I?
Then I remembered what happened before I passed out. Cutting myself,
which I never thought I'd ever do. Then Spike. Spike and Cordelia.
Spike and Cordelia kissing on his bed. That bastard. I was sure I
would have died.

Who could have helped me? I opened my eyes to be faced with Spike. I
didn't say anything not knowing that I even wanted to look at that
man.
"You're awake." He stated the obvious. "I'll get the doctor." He said
leaving. He didn't seem too happy with me but I didn't care. He could
rot in hell for what he did.

He came back with a doctor and a few nurses. The check various
machines and I just laid there not saying a word. After about 10
minutes they left him and me alone. I was in the hospital that part
was obvious but he jus sat there and looked at me.

"You know how hard it was to try to convince everyone it was an
accident." He said to me not realizing straight away that I was ignoring him. I think he noticed part way through but he continued anyways.

"I told them that I thought maybe you fell and hit you're wrist on
the sharp mirror, since it has no frame. They didn't by my theory but
they said they thought that the murderer was now trying to make them
look like suicides." He stopped and looked over at me I as still just
staring at him with no emotion what so ever on my face.

"They believed that and they sent you here. Do you know what you had
put me through?" He was now getting a little aggravated; he was
holding his head in his hands.
"How could you do that?" He asked but I knew he didn't expect an
answer. He looked up to see me turn my head turn away from him. Now
he realized I was pissed at him.
"Buffy what's the matter?" He asked not knowing if he really wanted
to know the answer that held the grudge he was not realizing was
there.
"Bastard." I mutter hoping it was loud enough for him to hear.

"What?" He asked equally confused.

"I saw you kissing Cordelia. You have me during dinner, her during
break. You sure have it made don't you? All those girls right at your feet" I was facing away from him and I didn't know how I really wanted him to respond.

"Buffy. It wasn't what it looked like. She kissed me."

"Let me guess I missed the big brush off. Just like the movies. Huh?"
I said sarcastically waiting to see what excuse he would come up with.

"Well. Yes."
"Whatever. I don't believe you." I said honestly. I was always told
never to believe a lying man.

"Buffy, let me tell you what happened."

"I don't want to hear..." he interrupted me.

"No talking. Just listen." He said and I obeyed shutting my mouth and
letting him start the story that I wasn't sure was going to be
fiction or non-fiction.
He noticed I was going to let him continue so he did.

"What you saw was Cordelia coming to me saying she thought she knew
who was murdering everyone, since I have a reputation for being a bit
nicer and open with the girls compared to some of the others she
wanted to come to me with that information. She was sitting on a
chair in my room and I was sitting on my bed. Before I knew it she
started to kiss me. I pushed her off and told her that she could get
in a lot of trouble for what she did and she realized her seduction
didn't work. When she left I went looking for you, I saw you turn the
corner for the bathroom. I figured I should give you some time alone
but after a while and you hadn't come out I figured I should
investigate and I did. I found you, wrapped a shirt someone left there
around your wrist and made it look like an accident." He finished and
he looked over I was now facing him.

"You're not lying." I stated. I could see it in his eyes. He shook
his head.

"No, I'm not." He leant down and kissed me.
He pulled away for a second. "Buffy. They know you're pregnant. They
don't know it's mine though." I looked at him. Our big secret was
revealed. Well as far as they knew MY big secret was revealed.
"How?" I asked.
He sat back down in the chair. "Well they check your blood and things
to see if you had been drugged or anything like that and they found that you
were pregnant and told them."
I was afraid to ask my next question but I decided to spit it
out. "What are they going to do with the baby?" Spike looked just as
upset to give the specific information.

"They..." He took a deep breath then continued. "After you have the baby they are making you give it up for adoption." Tears started to leak from my eyes. I tried to not break down but they were going to take away MY baby. The baby
I had with the man I loved.

- At the jail -
Phoebe walked down the hallway to the bathroom when she heard Very
light footsteps. She stopped and turned around to see an empty
hallway.

"Glory you can't do that." Darla protested following Glory into
Phoebe and Piper's room. Glory was going to borrow a few things from
Phoebe and Piper without their permission and they hated when people
went through their things.

"Glory, we'll get in trouble what if Officer Giles comes through."
Glory rolled her eyes. "He's been assigned to watch Buffy at the
hospital.
They were now in the room the two sisters shared. Glory went over to
the closet and opened it only to be faced with Phoebe dead hanging by
the neck with blood dripping down her body. Glory stepped out of the
closet her hand to her mouth.

"What?" Darla said not seeing the body.
She looked over to see the same sight; she let out a scream.

I was walking down the hall of the hospital. I heard footsteps but
when I turned around nothing was there. I turned back around and
headed on my way. I saw a shadow looming over me but when I turned an
axe was met with my head.

I woke with a start. My heart pounding and I was sweating and
panting. Glad it was a dream I looked over to see Spike sleeping in
the chair next to me.
I sat up and turned to him I touched his hand smiling. He was so
beautiful and adorable when he slept.
I was in love with him and the baby inside of me and I still couldn't
believe they were taking my baby away.



Turn it inside out so I can see you
The part of you that's driftin over me
And when I wake you're, you're never there
And when I sleep you're, you're everywhere
You're everywhere

Just tell me how I got this far
Just tell me why you're here and who you are
Cause everytime I look
You're never there
And everytime I sleep
You're always there

Cause you're everywhere to me
And when I close my eyes
It's you I see
You're everything I know
That makes me believe
I'm not alone.....
I'm not alone

I recognized the way you make me feel
I start to think that you might not be real
I sense it now the water's getting deep
I try to wash the pain away from me
Away from me

Cause you're everywhere to me
And when I close my eyes
It's you I see
You're everything I know
That makes me believe
I'm not alone....
I'm not alone

Oohhhh......

When I touch your hand
It's then I understand
The beauty lives within
It's now that we begin
You always light my way
Whenever comes a day
No matter where I go
I always feel you soar

Cause you're everywhere to me
And when I close my eyes
It's you I see
You're everything I know
That makes me believe
I'm not alone...

Cause you're everywhere to me
And when I catch my breath
It's you I breathe
You're everything I know
That makes me believe
I'm not alone...

And you're everyone I see,
So tell me, do you see me...?
