The next morning Faith woke up with a splitting headache. She looked around the bedroom and noticed that she wasn't in her own room. 'What the hell happened last night? Well at least I didn't have that dream.' Faith told herself as she went back to sleep, only to wake up when she felt an arm wrap around her. 'Oh God. I've gotta to get outta here…' Faith began to panic as she got up to get her clothes after she got dressed she ran out of the guy's house and towards Spike's apartment. "Hopefully his not angry…who am I kidding of course his angry." Faith muttered to herself.
Faith got to Spike's apartment about twenty minutes later to find Spike sitting at the kitchen table, looking upset and angry. Faith couldn't bring herself to look at him as she walked to her room and slammed the door. She got the pants that Spike lent to her and the crop top that Liz lent her and opened her door and went to the bathroom, trying to pretend that Spike isn't there. As soon as she got into the bathroom she got undressed, turned the water on and stepped into the shower. The hot water hitting her shoulders painfully. 'Hurt my shoulder worse than I thought…oh well.' When she got out of the shower she dried herself, got dressed, gathered the clothes she wore earlier and walked out of the bathroom and quickly to her room. When she got to her room she dumped the clothes on the floor and got into bed just as she started crying. After a few minutes she drifted off to sleep.
Spike was silently reading the paper when he heard Faith open the door, he tried to look in her eyes but she quickly looked at the floor as she walked to her room, slamming the door behind her. A few minutes later she walked out and into the bathroom before he could say anything she closed the door. When she got back to her room after her shower he heard her crying and got up and walked to her door but decided against opening it, as he was still slightly upset about the previous night. After a few minutes he heard her crying stop. 'Must have fallen asleep.' He thought as he went back to his paper. When he was done with the paper he got up and called Liz.
"Hello, Liz Turner speaking." Liz answered the phone politely.
"Hey Liz. It's Spike." Spike said.
"Something wrong Spike?" Liz asked her voice full of concern for her friend.
"Yeah…I think." He whispered uncertainly.
"You think?"
"Yeah. Faith woke me up screaming and crying yesterday. Went off with some guy last night and got back a few minutes ago and started crying again."
"You're upset because Faith went off with a random guy. She does that a lot. She's good at that. You jealous…. Wait did you say Faith cried?" she asked her voice full of disbelief
"Yeah"
"Uh…but you shouldn't be worried. It's probably just an act."
Spike was about to tell Liz she should be more friend like to Faith when he and Liz heard Faith screaming. He dropped the phone and went to Faith's room. He didn't even notice that Liz was calling out to him to find out what's happening.
Spike burst into Faith's room to find her screaming but still asleep.
"Faith…luv" he called out softly moving towards the bed. When he got to the bed he grabbed her by her shoulders and lightly shook her until her eyes opened. She sat up and he noticed, that like the previous night, she was shaking.
"Faith…" he trailed off as bed sat down close to her.
"Spike. I'm ok" She reassured him, lying back down and turning on to her side so that her back was facing Spike. She felt the bed move as Spike lied down next to her, putting one of his arms around her waist.
"Luv, please talk to me." He said his voice barely above a whisper. Faith shivered as she felt his hot breathe on her neck and shoulder.
"I'll tell you later ok. I'm really tired." Faith yawned. As she felt him remove his arm from her waist, she grabbed his wrist and put it back in its original position. He looked at her strangely. "Could…. you uh …stay with me…. Until I fall asleep"
"Ok luv" he smiled at her and put his head on the pillow as he tightened his grip on her. Ten minutes later Faith was soundly asleep and Spike contemplated falling asleep to when he heard a knock on the door, groaning he got up off Faith's bed slowly as to not disturb her and went to answer the door.
