A/N Hey Guys Sorry for taking so long to update but I didn't have access to
the net in my new house. Thanks to Tista for being a Great beta. I am So
amazed by the reviews for the story. Thank you So much! When I finally got
my email I had so many for this story and it made my day. Here is an extra
long chapter. I decided to put the next two together. Enjoy!
"Could my unlife get any worse?" Spike muttered coming face to face with a very pissed off Angel.
"Bloody Hell! It was a rhetorical question!" Spike growled.
"Give me one reason why I shouldn't dust your sorry ass!" Angel yelled.
"Because I'm your favorite Childe." He answered sarcastically.
What are you doing back in Sunnydale? He asked grabbing Spike by the collar of his coat.
"Oh just passing in through." Spike replied.
"What's your game?" He inquired.
"Game? I don't know what you're going on about." Spike said but Angel cut him off.
"I am talking about Buffy! What did you seduce her to get back at me?" Angel growled.
"Are you daft? Where would you get an idea like that?" He asked trying to play innocent.
"Stay away from her! Or I will stake you." Angel threatened.
"Whether or not Spike stays away from me is not up to you to decide Angel!" Buffy said coming to stand in between them.
"Buffy he's just using you to get back at me for taking away Drusilla." Angel explained.
"That's not true this has nothing to do with her." Spike growled lunging for Angel but Buffy held him back.
"No fighting!" Buffy exclaimed glaring at both vampires.
"Angel this is between me and Spike. You can't tell me who I can and can't be with. You broke up with me remember and don't you forget it." She pointed out.
Spike looked away not wanting to hear how much Buffy still wanted to be with Angel.
"It was for your own good. You need to be with a normal guy." Angel replied.
"Like being the slayer is normal." Spike spat.
Buffy sighed.
"No you ended it because of your curse." She answered bluntly.
Spike smirked at that remark.
"You deserve better than me and certainly somebody better than captain peroxide." Angel disagreed.
"It's my life. I decide who I want to be with. Please go Spike and I need to talk." Buffy said confidently.
"No I'm not leaving you here with him." He protested.
"If you ever really cared you will go." She said calmly.
Angel gave Spike an angry expression and walked away.
"Well pet you sure told him." Spike said grinning.
"Yeah." She said with a sheepish smile.
"Look I get that he hurt you. I know how that feels. Looks like we have something in common aye Luv?" He said tentatively.
"I think we have a lot in common. Ironic considering what we are." Buffy agreed.
"So why'd you disappear?"
"I thought it would be best. This isn't love. We both know the truth of it. Angel is the one you love, but you can't be with him so you would settle for me." Spike said sadly.
"No! You're wrong!" She protested.
"Right then, tell me you don't still love Angel?" He asked looking her in the eye.
Buffy looked away.
She could feel his eyes on her. It was like he could see right through her. Even if she did lie he would know she was lying. Why does everything with Spike have to be so complicated? I feel something but I do still love Angel. Could I love Spike too?
Well there's your answer mate. She can't even look at you in the eye. It will always be Angel his mind sing sung.
Buffy looked up to see Spike walking away.
"Spike! Wait!"
He just started walking faster.
"You're not being fair. It will take time for me to get over Angel." Buffy tried to make him understand.
"Right and that's only one of the reasons on a long list why we shouldn't be together slayer." He said coldly.
"So you're just gonna leave?" She asked her lower lip quivering.
Spike grabbed Buffy be the waist and pulled her to his body. For the longest time they just held each other. He breathed in her scent and stroked her golden hair. Finally when he let go, he took her cheeks; trying to commit everything about his beautiful slayer to memory. Buffy felt as if he was looking into her soul. The intensity of his gaze was almost too much for her. Her heart felt as if it was going a million miles a minute. It was like everything was happening in slow motion as Spike leaned in giving her the most passionate kiss she had ever had. It left her completely breathless and when her eyes fluttered open she found he was gone. Buffy just stood there in the cemetery frozen to one spot. Soon her gasps turned into sobs as she realized that he was really gone and inside something told her that he wasn't coming back.
The next week gave Buffy little time to think about the bleached vampire. The mayor and Faith set their plans for the ascension in to motion. Buffy hadn't seen Angel since the night Spike left. To say that things were awkward between them would be an understatement. He came to library to help figure out a way to stop the mayor. While everybody was researching, Mayor Wilkins dropped by to goad them and Faith also made an appearance; she walked in like she belonged and perched herself on a table.
"So how's that researching going?" Faith asked sarcastically.
"Faith, what do want?" Buffy asked with anger.
"Just seeing how things are going." The dark headed slayer answered.
"In other words, you're here to make sure we haven't figured out a way to stop you." Wesley exclaimed.
"Actually, I was wondering where Buffy's new boyfriend was?" Faith asked with an evil glint in her eye.
"Boyfriend?" Xander said in confusion. "Buffy doesn't have a new boyfriend."
"If looks could kill Faith would be dead with by the glare Buffy gave her.
"Angel knows all about it. Don't ya?" She asked looking at Angel who was glaring at her as well.
"Buffy, who are you seeing?" Willow asked with excitement.
"Uh, nobody." She stuttered.
"Come on B tell your friends all about screwing Spike." Faith blurted out.
"I didn't see that coming." Oz said.
"Dear God! Buffy please tell me she's lying?" Giles begged.
"I'm sorry, but it's over. Spike's gone and he's never coming back." Buffy said sheepishly.
"Why Spike!" Xander exclaimed disgust in his voice.
"Don't ask." She replied.
"Well, I guess my work here is done. See ya B." Faith said as she headed out the door.
"So he's gone?" Angel asked relieved.
"Yes. We both knew that it couldn't work." Buffy answered; conviently leaving out the fact that Spike had been the one to leave her.
"What the heck is it with you and vampires?" Cordelia asked.
Buffy just rolled her eyes and left the library not wanting to answer anymore questions.
Later that night, Angel once again tried to understand what possessed her to be with Spike. They just ended up arguing again and he told Buffy that if they survived the ascension that he was going to leave Sunnydale for good. As they were arguing in the middle of the street, Faith used a crossbow to hit Angel. It was poisonous and the only cure was the blood of a slayer. Buffy went out to kill Faith to save Angel.
The slayers fought and Buffy stabbed Faith in the stomach, but she jumped off the roof. Buffy accepted that the only way to save Angel was her own blood. He almost took too much and took her to the hospital. Angel found Faith in a coma in another bed of the emergency room. Giles and the rest of the scoobies rushed to the hospital to check on Buffy's condition. The gang was angry at what Angel had done; although he said Buffy made him do it.
The scoobies found out exactly what would occur at graduation. Mayor Wilkins was going to turn into a huge dragon like demon. Faith had murdered a professor who had studied the demon and led the gang to find that out. The school teamed up together to fight the Mayor when he ascended. From crossbows to stakes and finally Buffy lured the demon into the school full of explosives.
When the dust settled, Buffy saw Angel walking away from the school. She didn't have it in her to cry. Her heart just felt so numb. Buffy decided right then and there that she didn't need guys. She was fine on her own. After all, she had other responsibilities and great friends. Buffy spent the summer remembering what it was like to have fun and be happy without having a boyfriend.
A/N I promise I will get them back together soon. Review for More!
