Hi everybody! Thank you soooooooooo much for your reviews!
Basically i thought i'd write a chapter that will bring Dawn and Buffy closer as sisters...so here's the chapter...Please let me know what you think...
Chapter 4
Buffy headed straight home. She was still questioning her decision about the small gift that she's given to Spike. After all he was unpredictable…and all she could do pray that she'd made the right choice.
She walked inside the house, it felt so strange…so different. Truth is she missed having Tara and Willow leaving under the same room…and Faith and the potentials… and Spike….
"Stop it" Buffy told herself. She almost found it amusing how her thoughts always drifted off to the evil fiend.
"Morning" Dawn mumbled as she walked down the stairs and into the kitchen.
"Riley is still upset about you leaving him all alone" she said as she scanned the fridge for food.
"Well…I don't think me and Riley will work out…"
"Hey I'm not the one you should be telling this to…besides I don't really care" The teenager said and walked out of the kitchen with an apple.
"Dawn…how can y…. Ohh…" Buffy began but realised that her and Dawn weren't getting on so well back then…. and it was partly her fault. But she knew she'd make it right again.
"Hey Dawn…it's Saturday…got any plans for tonight?" Buffy asked as she make her way to the lounge and sat down on one of the recliners.
"Umm… I might sleep over at Janice's but I don't know yet…and since when do you care?" Dawn asked annoyed.
"Well I was just thinking…. you know it's not like you're a baby anymore…so you know a bit of make up…one of my tops and those new boots that I got … we could get you into one of them college parties…." Buffy spoke slowly and watched her sister's face change from disbelief to excitement and then suspicion.
"Ok who are you and what have you done with my sister?"
"Alright fine…you can stay home if you…." Buffy said and got up off the lounge.
"No no no…. I mean…. I'd love to come with you" Dawn said and grabbed Buffy's arm as on attempt to stop her from leaving the room.
"Ok… I got some things to take care of, but I'll be back before six. And umm we'll get ready then. Oh and please don't tell mum, coz we're both dead…slayer or not. She'd kill me for taking you"
"Don't worry. She'll never know!"
"So how long do we have before you turn back to that annoying overprotective sister?" Dawn asked as her and Buffy were walking to the dorm where the party was.
"Umm well how does never sound? But you know I'll still be looking out for you…" Buffy said and looked at her sister who was smiling.
Buffy looked at her sister and noted that she did a great job, because Dawn looked about eighteen. She was wearing a short denim skirt and a black halter neck top. Her feet were in black stilettos, she could hardly walk in a straight line in them…. but Dawn refused to give up.
Buffy herself was wearing black pants that perfectly fitted her petite figure. Her dark blue low cut top made her eyes look blue rather then emerald.
The two sisters walked inside and within seconds they were surrounded by guys who officered them drinks so many times that Buffy lost count.
"Dawn, just remember two drink maximum…and no smoking." Buffy warned but Dawn was too busy watching some guy across the room.
Buffy smiled at her sister. Her mind was wondering about all those times that she tried to 'protect' her from the world, when in fact she was shielding her from having a life. She didn't remember Dawn ever having friends over or sleeping over. Dawn was fifteen turning sixteen. Buffy remembered how she was when she was that age. It was mainly endless parties, shopping and all those guys trying to get a date with the most popular girl in school. She met Angel when she was sixteen, that's like six months older than Dawn is now.
Buffy never realised how much she tried to keep Dawn out of the real world, where people make mistakes, where they get hurt both physically and emotionally…. Not until now… She never considered for a moment why Dawn sneaked out and got herself into trouble, that and including the stealing phase. The girl needed attention…. no she demanded attention. But Buffy was always too busy saving the damn world that she forgot about the people that meant the world to her.
"Dawnie why don't you go and introduce yourself?" Buffy said with a smile.
"No. I mean…. he's much older than me…I don't think mum would approve…" Dawn said nervously not taking her eyes off the guy.
"You're worried that he's older…Hey I'm the one that dated a 250 year old ex-psycho killer." Buffy said softly.
"Go on…." She added and gave her sister's shoulder a light push. Dawn didn't hesitate after that. Buffy watched her sister talk to the guy who in fact didn't take his eyes off Dawn as well.
"Hey Buffy" She heard and turned around to see Riley.
"Hey" She replied rather coldly.
"I was just wondering what I did wrong. I'm sorry that I was late…. but I don't understand why you left"
"Look Riley…I don't know how to say this…" Buffy said calmly trying really hard to sound convincing and emotional. But truth is she knew how to say this and why.
"I don't think I can keep doing this…. I just…"Buffy said she lifted her eyes and looked into his. She saw all those raw emotions surfacing. Her mind was going back to that day that he left her and then came back with his wife only to destroy the little shred of happiness that she had…. Spike. Seeing Riley happy with his wife made her want that too…. a family a normal life. But who was she kidding she'd never be normal. At least now she had the balls to admit that to herself.
"You need a break…ok I umm understand" Riley said softly. Buffy knew if she told him that it's over he might do something stupid…. so maybe the gradual separation approach was the best option in their case.
"Yes… I just need time to figure thing out."
"I'll see you later Riley" Buffy added and disappeared into the crowd.
"Well this totally sucks!" Dawn complained as she and her sister left the party along with everybody else for a reason that wasn't explained to anyone.
"Well it's only 10.30. We can still go to Bronze" Buffy said and her sister's smile told her everything.
"Alright Bronze here we come!" Buffy said with a laugh as the sisters linked arms and walked out of the hall.
"That's it Buffy that's your last drink" The teenager warned her sister after the seventh drink.
"Dawn, I got an idea…why don't you go and dance. That guy has been watching you for like….ages." Buffy mumbled and pointed to some random guy trying to get Dawn to leave her alone.
"Alright, but promiss me…no more whiskey shots" Dawn said and as she got a nod from her sister she left.
"You should know me better than that Dawn" Buffy said and ordered another drink.
She sat there watching the colours slowly blend in. She didn't notice Spike walk in and sit next to her.
"Buffy…" He started but decided to talk about that later when she'd actually listen and remember what he was saying.
Buffy stared at him for a few minutes and then let her head rest on his shoulder. Spike didn't know what to do. He could just sit there and pretend it was normal or he could move away. Personally he was quite comfortable with her head on his shoulder. Feeling her so close to him, yet so far.
"You know I miss that time that I came to your crypt and we got blind drunk then we hit the demon world and you won five pretty kittens…" Buffy mumbled into his shoulder.
"Wait how do you know about the kittens. …and that never happened…." Spike said, his voice sounded very confused and surprised at the same time.
"Sure it did. And then you carried me home while I pucked my guts out" Buffy said with a light laugh.
"Alright, slayer. You had too many drinks, and when you humans have too many of those you start making things up" Spike said. He slightly lifted her head and asked the bartender for a glass of water.
"Hey, I'm not making this up!" Buffy cried out. She was hurt that he basically called her a liar.
"It did happen. After that Hellgod killed me. And then came back. And...and…Willow went out of control with magic. And uhh after mom died. You were there for me…the only one I could talk to…and abuse and. …well…have sex with" Buffy said bluntly.
All those events were coming out in no particular order, as they were the only things that came to her mind. The alcohol was clouding her mind, stopping her from thinking straight. As telling Spike everything was soo not the plan.
"Ok now I know that you're crazy….you sound even crazier than Dru"
"Drusilla…you said you would stake her…. you tied both of us up… Can I have another drink?" Buffy said just before her vision went completely black.
