Are you happy now ?: Falling down
by no1slayer
I don’t own any of the characters in this they all belong to Joss Whedon.

This is my first fanfic so I know its not going to be as good as everyone else’s. But I’ll have a go anyway. Wish me luck and please review. Tell me how I can make it better in future and which bits you like about it. I’ve noticed a few spelling/grammatical errors, I blame my stupid spell check I cant use it. I will try and make sure that everything is right 

Historians note: This happens a few years after Buffy season 7. There was no end of angel and there was no apocalypse.



Chapter 12 – falling down


About an hour later, spike knocked on the apartment door where Buffy was staying,

Buffy walked to the door and opened it. “Hi” she said to spike as he walked into the room. “I was thinking I could go home and get my stuff as Carlo doesn’t want me around.”

“Emmm yeah” spike said. “That seems like a good idea”. He was so happy that Buffy was finally leaving Carlo.

“I kinda need a lift as I have no car. Well I have a car but it’s at the house” Buffy said

“Yeah pet course I will take you” spike said.

Buffy smiled and nodded. “Ok lets go” she said. She went to get her jacket and handbag.

Spike waited in the hallway for Buffy then they left wolfram and hart.

The car journey was quiet.

Buffy wondered whether Carlo would be at home, hopefully he was at home then she could sort this mess out. She occasionally went into a day dream about him forgiving her then everything would be perfect again. They would live happily ever after.

Spike was already planning his and Buffys future together. He didn’t think that Carlo would take Buffy back, which for him was good. Spike thought about everything that he and Buffy could have together; nice house, flashy cars and Buffy being with him always. Captain forehead would be out of their lives forever and it would be perfect.

Spike pulled up at the house. “Shall I wait here luv?” he asked Buffy.

Buffy thought for a moment. “Yeah, all my stuff might not fit in my new car. Which I may not even have any more. Carlo might decide to take it back I dunno.” She said

“Ok I’ll wait here” spike said.
Buffy got out of the car and walked up the gravel driveway to the house. Everything looked normal, just as she left it. She was unsure whether to use her key or to knock. It was still her house so she took out her keys and walked in the house, closing the door behind her. She placed her handbag on a little table by the door. Buffy heard a radio playing upstairs. She walked up the staircase and went into the bedroom.

Carlo was sitting on the bed listening to the radio and reading a book. He stood up as he saw Buffy. “Hi” Carlo said plainly.

“Hey” Buffy said. “Are we emmm”

“Yes we are still getting a divorce” Carlo said. “I don’t want you here if all you are going to think about is him” he said.

“I won’t” Buffy said, “I promise”

Carlo walked over to her. “And what about the promises you made on our wedding day, don’t they mean anything. Maybe you just forgot when you let Spike put his tongue down your throat” he was very angry.

“I’m sorry” Buffy said, “I really am”

“I don’t care” Carlo said. “I just want you out of my life”

“No” Buffy said. “We can work this out. I’m not leaving until you listen to me.”

“I really don’t care anymore Buffy” Carlo said. He grabbed Buffys arm. “Come back another day for your things”. He started to pull her out of the bedroom and pulled her towards the stairs to get her out of the house.

“No!” Buffy shouted. She pushed Carlo off her.

Carlo stumbled on the stairs. Then tripped and fell all the way down the stairs, rolling and occasionally banging his head on the steps as he fell. The sound of thudding rang in Buffys ears.

“Carlo!” Buffy shouted. She looked down the stairs and saw Carlos mangled body lying on the hard wood floor. “Oh my god” Buffy said. She ran down the stairs and knelt down next to Carlo. There was a pool of crimson blood around his head that was getting bigger and bigger. Silence filled the house.

Buffy checked for a pulse. She waited …..

But couldn’t find one.

“I killed him” Buffy said, “Oh god. I killed Carlo”.
