Which choice is made better with love: chapter 4
by Spikes Queen
The next night on patrol, Buffy and Spike went on patrol alone, despite the tension.

Buffy growled and punched him in the mouth.

The forced surprised Spike so he fell to the ground. He recovered quickly and stood. “What the hell was the for?” He flared.

Tears welled in Buffy’s eyes again before she punched him in the face again.

Spike’s foot shot out and he took her legs out from under her.

Buffy’s fist shot out and got his nose. “I hate you,” she growled.

“No you don’t but I can handle it,” Spike said, throwing her away form him.

“Why?” Buffy flared, tears streaming down her face.

“Bec….” He was cut off as a huge demon tackled Buffy. “Buffy!” He screamed.

Buffy lay stunned on the ground Spike fought the demon. She held her ribs and her breathing was heavy.

Spike snapped the demons neck and ran to Buffy. “Pet, you okay?” He asked, kneeling beside her.

“Go away,” Buffy whispered.

Spike frowned and scooped her up. “I gotta get you home,” he said, cradling her.

Buffy slumped against him and cried.

Spike kissed her forehead and walked toward the house. “Buffy, I’m so sorry, Luv.”

Buffy continued to cry as they walked through the door and Spike took her upstairs. He laid her in bed and she hastily got out of bed. She stood in front of him and slapped him.

Spike rubbed his cheek. “Would you stop?” He asked, softly.

“Why are you being like this?” Buffy asked, wiping her tears.

“I’m not being like anything,” Spike said.

“Yes you are,” Buffy said.

Spike sighed and went toward the door. “Go to sleep, Slayer,” he said.

Buffy shoved him into the door. “Would you stop?” She growled.

Spike turned around. “Go to bed, Buffy,” he said, in a low voice.

Buffy backed away from him. “I hate you,” she whispered.

“Yeah, I’ve heard that one before,” Spike said, crossing his arms.

Buffy buried her face in her hands. “God Spike, what happened to us?” She whispered.

“Nothing. We just aren’t together,” Spike said.

“But I want to be together,” she said, soflty.

Then someone knocked on the door. “Buffy?” Came Dawn’s voice.

“Yeah?” Buffy asked, still looking at Spike.

“You might wanna come downstairs,” Dawn said.

“I’m alittl busy,” Buffy said.

Dawn opened the door. “I know but this is really important,” she said.

Buffy sighed and went toward the door. “Spike, we aren’t not finished,” she said, going downstairs.
