little secrets
Hi everyone, I just wanna thank
you for the reviews so far, if you don't mind, can you please keep
reviewing?
Disclaimer: I don't own anything Buffy, Joss Whendon does (lucky guy!) But I do own the story, that's about it so far, lol.
Now onto the next chapter...
Chapter four
Dawn walked into the park, the wet grass squishing under her feet as she walked. Her heart was drumming in her head, and she felt like she was going to be sick. It took everything she had, not to toss her cookies right there. As she got closer, she could make out the small form of Ryan standing by the bench. This made her mind race even more. She forced herself to move forward. She had to do this, she had to tell him. Once she reached him, they just stood there staring at each other.
"Well, what did you want to talk to me about?" Ryan asked, breaking the silence.
Dawn opened her mouth to speak, but no words came out. She had to do this, she was dead set, her mind told her. But, her mouth seemed to disagree. She tried again, but no sound came out. She was getting frustrated, and tears welled up in her blue eyes.
"I can't do this!" She shouted, able to speak again.
With that, she ran out of the park, leaving yet another person staring after her; confused.
& & & &
She didn't know where she was running, but she had to keep going. If she stopped, she would think about what was happening. Her heart felt heavy, and her head clouded. Yet, she still kept running, tears flowing down her face. Finally, after a while she stopped, and found herself in front of none other than Spike's crypt. She wondered why she had gone there, of all places. Stopping her thoughts, she became panicked, she had to get out of there before-
"Ello' Luv."
That.
She turned and looked right at Spike, a nervous smile on her face. Spike took note that something was wrong, he could sense it. He walked up to Dawn slowly, as if walking up to a wounded animal. He put his hands on her shoulders, and looked into her face. She diverted her gaze to the ground.
"What's wrong nibblet? Are you all right?"
Dawn didn't say or do anything, just looked down. He put his finger under her chin, and lifted it gently. She looked at him, trying to fight back the tears that were beginning to become familiar. Spike knew then, something was up.
"What is it nibblet? You know you can tell ol' Spike anything."
Dawn pulled forcefully away from him, and she stared at his face. A single tear she had failed to conceal slid down her cheek, as she said,
"I have to go home, Buffy's probably wondering where I am."
Without looking back, Dawn turned and ran with all her strength out of the grave yard. Spike watched her retreating form, but the look on his face this time, was not one of confusion, but suspicion.
HeHe, I know sorta a cliff hanger, I'm mean. JK, lol. Again, thanks for the reviews, and if you want me to continue, please keep reviewing. I gotta go now, lol.
TTFN!
