AN: Buffy died and hasn't come back. That's all basically. Please excuse this stupid story. I started off with good intentions, but it turned crappy. I wrote too much to not post it. Ugh. Anyway, enjoy.
"C'mon, Dawnie. Wake up. It's time to wake up," Willow cried as she softly petted the teenager's arm.
"She's going to wake up, Wills. She's just...has to do it on her own time," Xander said while throwing his arm around the redhead's back. He comforted his friend, drawing her into a tight hug,
The brunette had been in a slight coma for less than a week. The doctor's said that she hit her head while falling, which is why she had the cut above her eye.
Spike walked in with a huff.
"Whelp, Red," he greeted while going straight over to his poor love. He pushed her hair away from her eyes and gave her a small smile. A smile she wouldn't be able to see.
"Me and Willow are going to head out now," Xander said while taking Willow's hand and leading her out of the room.
The blonde was too into staring at Dawn to answer. He just held her hand and lightly rubbed circles on it.
"So sorry, love. Should have saved you. All my fault," he admitted as he kissed her hand. "Never goin' to bloody forgive myself if you don't wake up."
He continued soaking in her healing injuries. She was doing better. So she should be waking up any day now. He was going to be there when she did too. Had to. He felt so guilty. Even destroying her boyfriend didn't make him feel better. He just felt so...
"Spike," came a quiet voice, raspy and harsh.
It took him a while to understand what was happening. She was talking. She was waking up. She was with him again.
"Oh god, baby. I'm here. Right here. Next to you. Never going to leave your side."
"I'm sorry," she apologized, tears leaking from the inside of her eyes.
He pushed more hair away from her pale face and gave her a reassuring smile. Everything was going to be okay, now that she was awake. He could feel the ice melt around his heart.
"'s all goin' be okay, love. Spike took care of everything."
She gave him a tiny smile and laid back down. Like Spike said, it was all going to be okay.
Again, hate this story. Read and review and share how much you hate this also with me.
