Chapter 19 Feeling

Spike walked out the school right before the last of the day rang and lit a cigarette. He leaned his aching body against a tree, that became his resting place since he began going there. Its been a long day and what made it seem to go by even slower was the fact that he had to limp to every class. His classmates were looking at his bruised body like they've never seen someone bruised.

On top of all that he couldn't seem to find a certain blonde. After missing half of school from being in the hospital and police station. The only people who tracked him down were Red and Glinda. Ever since sharing classes with each of them, they've become good friends. Its nice to know someone besides his mother and uncle cared. He just wished he could get a good hold on his blonde lover.

As he looked around watching his classmates getting into their cars and on the bus, he notice Buffy talking to a tall broody fellow with hair standing about 5 inches and way too much gel. Spike felt himself getting jealous when he say her laugh at something he said and touched his arm. His pain was now the last thing on his mind. He watched on as Buffy and the brood exchanged a few more words before he walked off. Spike flicked his cigarette in the grass and stomped over to Buffy and caught the small blonde off guard. Buffy looked and to see a very beaten Spike.

"Oh my God! Spike, what happened?" Buffy asked reaching to touch his bruised face but he smacked her hand away, taking the petite blonde by surprise.

"Who the fuck was that?" Spike asked upset.

"Who?" Buffy asked not knowing he was referring to Cordelia's boyfriend.

Spike, not wanting to play games got really upset and grabbed Her by the arm roughly. "I said who the fuck is Captain Forehead."

"What the fuck! Spike, your hurting me!" Buffy yelled trying to get her arm out of his death grip.

"Is that all you are is a whore?" Spike spat. "You don't give a fuck about anybody's feeling except yourself."

Buffy looked at the guy she thought she figured out with watery eyes. "William." she whispered.

At that instant something clicked in Spike and he let go. " I'm sorry" he said looking at her with his now watery eyes. He kept repeating his apology as he backed away from her and began taking his frustration out on the wheel of Buffy's expensive car.

Buffy slowly walked over to him trying to calm him down while rubbing he now sore arm. "Its okay. Spike, its okay."

"Stop! Stop! Spike!" Buffy yelled trying to make Spike quit before he harmed himself even more.

Just then Riley walks up and shoves Spike making him lose balance and fall to the ground.

"Fuck." Spike cried out in pain from his ribs.

Buffy stood up wiping the tears from her eyes and shoved Riley away as best she could and quickly knelt down before Spike to check on him.

"Are you okay?" she asked him.

Spike was in to much pain to even speak which made the blonde even more pissed at Riley.

"What the fuck is wrong with you? Cant you see he's already banged up enough?" Buffy shouted at Riley.

"Well, I thought I was helping you, while he was banging the shit out of your car. Most girl would have been thankful." Riley defended.

"I'm not girls. And did I ask for your help? I just a fucking car." Buffy looked at him in distasted.

The pain inside Spike finally lessened enough for him to get up. As he got up, Buffy follow suit and walked quickly when she realized he was walking towards Riley and put herself between both of them.

"Listen here, wannabe solider boy. You lay your bloody hand on he again and I will see to it that they are spiked." Spike sneered at Riley who didn't look scared of the threat.

Buffy was nervous, she seen the state he left Parker. She thankful he wasn't to his ful strength because Riley obvious has some weight compared to Parker.
