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...?
Authors note - I

The song is by Michele Branch - Everywhere. A few lines
in the songs
give a hint about what'll happen for the two
eventually. The song is
also talking about both Spike and the
killer.
