Author: Lori

A/N: Thank you for the reviews, once again! Oh and you're right Ammers, I did kind of messed up on the whole scenario on how Willow and Buffy's relationship went towards, as in were they friends before college?, I did mess up on my half. I just got caught up in the moment of writing; I kept on forgetting that Buffy and Willow just met. So yeah, that is pretty much it. On with the story now!!

Chapter 12: No Words Left To Say

Ring.

Buffy let out a groan.

Ring.

"Five more minutes, Mom," She said softly.

Ring.

Buffy slowly opened her eyes. She looked at where she was at. Sitting in a leather car seat, the sight of cars passing by and the smell of gas. 'My car,' She thought.

Ring.

Buffy dug quickly through her purse and grabbed out her cell phone. She picked it up.

"Hello?" She answered. The voice on the other line gave her a sigh of relief.

"Hey Willow," Buffy smiled slightly.

"Buff, where are you? Spike told me everything, I'm worried sick over here," Willow said on the other line.

Buffy took a deep breath. "About," She looked around the place she was at. "A few miles away, I guess,"

Buffy heard Willow sigh on the other line. "Why did you leave Buff, we were all afraid something might happen to you,"

Buffy spoke softly. "I just needed to leave; I just couldn't handle it,"

"Well, do you have a place to stay?"

Buffy looked around her car. "Oh yeah, this nice big comfy leather couch, the sounds of honking cars, oh yeah, I think I'll manage,"

Buffy heard Willow laugh slightly over the phone. "Well Buff, find the nearest hotel near there,"

Buffy dug through her pockets and wallet to find no money. "Sorry Will, sometimes hotels aren't free,"

"Don't worry about it; I'm going to pay for it,"

"No Willow, I can't-"

"Until you decided to come back," Willow said interrupting her. "I'll do anything just to keep you in a safe place,"

Buffy smiled over the phone. "Thanks,"

"Now what are you waiting for?" Willow said with a laugh. "Go find yourself a hotel,"

Buffy let out a giggle as she hung up the phone. While driving down the road, Buffy began to think back.

--Spike turned to her. "Just listen,"

Buffy turned quickly to Spike. "No," She said nonchalantly. "I'm tired of this Spike," She said trying to fight the tears coming from her eyes. She threw her hands up in the air. "God, I'm only 18 and me without my mom is a big whole difference,"

Spike's face softens as he looked at Buffy near the verge of tears. "Pet," He quickly grabbed Buffy in her arms and Buffy began to sob on his shoulder. She quickly pushed away.

Buffy shook her head. "I really don't want to do this Spike, just..." She walked towards her car door and opened it. "Leave me alone," She said softly. Taking one more glance at him, she went into her car and drove away.--


She took a deep breath as she drove through and exit. "Wonder what he's doing now,"

-------------

"Bloody hell Red, where is she!" Spike yelled as he began pace back and forth in his apartment.

"Spike, I just think Buffy needs time," Willow said softly.

"Fuck the time, I need to know is she okay," Spike stopped pacing and as he shut his eyes.

"Spike, man," Oz said patting Willow on the shoulder. "You just need to calm down, just leave Buffy alone for a while; I bet she's okay,"

Spike shook his head. He turned towards Willow with anger in his eyes. "Red, tell me where the bloody hell she is or I swear-"

"Okay, okay!" Willow took a deep breath. "She's at the Holiday Inn near-"

Spike walked quickly out the door. That's all he needed to hear.

Willow turned to Oz nervously. "Oz," She gave him a questionable eyebrow as she calmed down. "Do you think Spike might-"

"I don't know Will," He looked towards the door. "I just don't know,"

--------------

Buffy placed her luggage onto the bed. She look around the room and out towards the window. Rain was falling as the rain drops began to platter onto the closed window.

She walked towards the window and opened it. She let out her hand and let the cold rain fall onto her hand. She looked outside. She quickly shook her head.

"What the hell," She squinted her eyes. "That can't be- Spike?" She spotted a platinum blonde standing at the corner of the street.

"Why the hell is he standing out in the rain like that?" She quickly shook it off and closed the window. She grabbed her coat and ran down out into the hallway.

------------

"Thanks mate," He told the cab driver as he drove away. Spike walked slowly onto the sidewalk in front of the hotel. "I'll just wait right here," He leaned onto a pole.

It began to rain.

"Bullocks," He said as he looked up in the sky as the rain began to fall.

"Spike," Someone yelled out.

Spike swiftly turned his head around and saw Buffy. "Buffy!" He yelled out. He quickly ran up to her and grabbed her into a hug. "Oh I'm so glad you're alright, love," He whispered into her ear. "I missed you so much,"

Buffy narrowed her eyebrows as they broke away from the hug. She stared up at Spike. "Umm, Spike hugging me and whispering sweet nothings in my ear...very weird," She raised an eyebrow.

"Since I found you now, let's go home," He went to go grab Buffy's arm when she quickly pulled away. He looked at her with concern. "What's wrong love, I found ya', now it's just a bloody hop, skip and a jump just to come home," He said moving his arms.

Buffy stood there as the rain began to fall onto her hair soaking her. She looked up at Spike. Spike couldn't really notice if she was crying because the rain began to come down hard. It was very hard to notice. But just look on her face told me so many things.

Spike turned around to face her and walked towards her.

"Spike, I don't want to go back," She told him softly.

He leaned down to her. "And why not?"

She threw her arms in the air and gave a slight smile. "You know, I just don't know now," She shook her head as she turned her head away from him. "I just don't know anything anymore," She said softly.

Spike took a deep breath. He walked towards her and grabbed her face. "Look at me,"

Buffy gazed up at Spike. His hair was tousled because of the rain and his eyes seem to become a bright blue when the rain pellets ran down his face.

"There are so many things you'll miss out on Goldilocks," His eyes softened. "Do you really want to miss out on that?"

Buffy pursed her lips. "I've done it before, what can stop me now?"

Spike let go of her face.

Buffy gazed up at him. "Exactly, nothing can stop-"

Spike grabbed Buffy and pulled her into a kiss. Buffy shot her eyes open in shock. Then slowly, her eyes began to close. Spike grabbed her waist as Buffy put her arms around his neck. They sensually nibbled on each others lips as the rain fell in between their lips.

They broke away. Buffy was left speechless.

Spike took a deep breath. "That's one bloody reason, and the other reason," He took a step forward to her. "Buffy, I love you,"

Buffy closed her eyes and shook her head. "Spike, I think you have this all wrong-"

"Bloody hell woman," He screamed out. "I love you," He said sternly in each word.

"I just-"

"Just what," Spike said raising an eyebrow. "Just you can't? well that's not a word I usually see that Buffy Summers is fond of,"

Buffy looked away. "Spike, I don't really want to argue right now, you're not in love with me,"

Spike stopped her speaking. "You know what Buffy, it's not that you can't, it's just that you're scared,"

Buffy raised an eyebrow. She let out a groan. "Spike,"

"No Buffy," He laughed slightly. "You just can't handle it," He began to walk around her.

Buffy crossed her arms as he began to walk around her. "Can't handle what?"

"You," He spoke as he faced her. "You're in love with me and it bothers you,"

Buffy made a face. "I am not in love with-"

"Yes you are," He let out a laugh. "I can smell it, it's surrounding you," He leaned towards her face. "But you just can't handle it can you?"

Buffy shook her head. "Spike, you've really gone insane-"

"Me... gone insane?" Spike shook his head. "I'm not the one who's insane," He leaned in towards her ear and began to speak smoothly. "You're in love with me Buffy, and it's consuming your body. Every feeling, every touch, every breath. It bothers you," He smoothly moved in closely towards her face. "Isn't that right?"

A sly smirk appeared on Spike's face as Buffy was left with no words.
