Chapter 5- Mood Swings
Buffy and Spike lay in bed, Buffy whispered
something in his ear, giggling. Spike just smirked. All a sudden,
Spike jumped out of bed, and grabbed his clothes, putting them on in
a rush.
"What are you doing?"
Spike turned to face Buffy,
only in his black pants.
"I'm leaving! You're just using
me, and that- its not…it hurts my feelings!" Tears streamed down
his face.
"Spike, what the hell?"
"No, don't even
start! I'm leaving!"
"Spike, you live here!"
Spike put
on his shirt. "All you want me for is…" He looks around the
wrecked room. "I…you…and you won't even tell your friends
about us! I'm just you're dirty little secret, is that it?"
"You MUST be going insane! I love you. We BOTH agreed it's too
soon to tell the guys. That they wouldn't understand. You know it's
not like that!"
"But it feels like it is." Spike turned and
climbed up the ladder, to the top floor of his crypt, and ran out the
door.
Buffy stood, wide eyed, shock expression on her face.
Twenty minutes later, Buffy walked into The Magic Box.
"Hey,
Buffy, I wasn't expecting you to come back tonight." Willow
smiled at her friend.
Only Willow, Tara, and Giles remained in
the store, which was surprising in itself since it was 2am.
"Hey
guys, what are you doing here so late?"
"Still working on
that spell." Tara, sat down by Willow, book in hand.
Giles
just nodded to the book in his hand, "What are you doing here?"
"I have a question. Vampires, uh Spike. He was acting kind of
weird. I mean, uh, we were on patrol, and he started getting all
emotional, and…just weird. Do uh, can vampires, I don't know, get
that way?"
Giles was now cleaning his glasses.
"I don't
see what the big deal is, its probably just a bad day, but I can look
into it, if you want."
"Thanks. That'd be good. Well, I'm
gonna go get some sleep. Night guys." And as quickly as she came
in, she was gone.
