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 nine – Say you don’t love me
Spike looked at Buffy, “Whats gonna happen now pet?” he asked. He didn’t want her to go back to Carlo. She belonged with him.
“I have to go” Buffy said. “I should have been back ages ago”. Buffy felt her heart telling her to stay, but her head telling her to leave. She was married now, she had made her decision. She couldn’t go back and tell Carlo she was leaving him. It would break her heart to see his heart get torn into little pieces.
“Pet, you don’t wanna be with him, I can tell.” Spike said softly, he reached for her hand but she pulled it away.
Buffy stepped back a little. “Spike, I’m sorry I can’t do this”
Spike looked into the eyes. “You deserve to be happy and he can’t do that” he said. “We can be happy together.”
“We have no future, we tried before and it didn’t work” Buffy said. Even though she knew that spike didn’t have a soul back then and when he did have a soul he was kind of insane. But she knew this was the right thing to do. She had to the right thing for herself and for everyone else.
“But I’m different now, *we* are both different now, it can work” spike said. He didn’t her to stay with him, he would die without her. She would die without him. Carlo would suck the life and soul out of her. He would drain her of all her passion and energy.
Buffy started to walk towards the door. “No spike. We have to move on, it doesn’t work with us.”
Spikes stepped in front of her, “Then tell me you don’t love me and then you can go back to your husband and you’ll never see me again. That’s what you want isn’t it, so tell me” he said.
Buffy looked up at him. “You know I can’t do that” she said. She walked to the door and opened it. She looked back at him.
“Cant do what? Go back or say you don’t love me?” spike asked hopefully.
“You know what” Buffy said as she walked out of the office. She walked past angel who was just about to walk in the office. “Bye angel” she said as she started to walk through the lobby.
Spike ran after Buffy and grabbed her arm before she walked out into the bright deadly sunshine. He wished more than anything that he could chase her out into direct sunlight.
Buffy spun around and looked at spike. She tried to shake her arm out of his grip. “ let me go please” she said.
“Not until you admit you love me and want to be with me more than him” spike said not letting go of her.
Angel had walked over to talk to harmony when he noticed that spike had gone after Buffy.
Harmony was leaning over her desk to see if she could catch the action. A face off between blondie bear and that slayer whore would have been to die for, harmony thought to her self.
“Just let me go” Buffy shouted and a few people stopped to watch the couple. Buffy pushed him off her.
Spike loosened his grip and let go. “You love me I know it and I’m not gonna let you go off with some Italian wanker” she shouted.
Buffy slapped him hard across the face.
“Yes” harmony said quietly and excitedly. A fight was just the thing she needed to put herself in a god mood.
Angel was also pleased that Buffy had hit spike. He
would have done it himself otherwise.
Spike looked at Buffy. “There you are love, back toy your old self” he said with a grin.
“Stop it!” Buffy shouted and punched him again.
But then spike punched her back. He didn’t mean to, it was just a reflex.
Buffy put her hand on her cheek. That was going to be swollen she could feel it already. She felt like her eyes were going to explode. Her cheek felt like it was on fire. Spike had hit her … again. Her eyes started to water.
Angel approached them.
“Buffy” spike started but he didn’t get a chance to finish.
Buffy turned and ran out of the doors into the beaming midday sun. She ran down the steps, even though she knew that spike couldn’t follow her but she still ran. She wanted to get away. She needed to get away. She heard her feet pound against the floor as she ran down the steps and down to the underground parking lot. She fumbled for her keys in her pocket and took hold of them. She opened the door to her car and got in. she locked all the doors of the car from inside as tears streamed down her face. The car was hot and sticky because of the humid temperature outside.
She turned the ignition of the car and soon cold air conditioning engulfed the interior of the car. Buffy wiped her eyes and looked in the mirror of her car. Her cheek was red and a little swollen. She clicked the mirror back into place and pulled out of the parking lot.
Buffy drove around LA for a little. She thought about what her life had come to. The loneliness she had been feeling for so long. Now she was being split down the middle.
Spike had hit her again. She couldn’t believe it. She promised herself along time ago she would never let another man hit her. Well a guy she was dating anyway. She couldn’t really apply that to the demons she fought every day. But now there were many slayers, she didn’t have to do as much slaying, which let her have some degree of a normal life. This was how she met Carlo. Away from all the killing and violence.
A normal guy for a normal girl.
She had tried that before she thought. Riley Finn was supposed to have been that normal guy. And he was, until she found out he was part of a military monster squad which also did experiments on demons and vampires.
This was how spike had changed. He had got a chip implanted in his skull to stop him hurting any human. But he soon found out he could fight demons which led him to fight on Buffys side. This was when their relationship started to grow.
When Buffy had come back from the dead, he was the only person she could talk to. She didn’t know why, he was just easier to talk to than her friends. They would never be able to understand. This was when she had started to fall for spike.
But those times were gone and she had to stop dwelling on them. Buffy drove back home in silence. No radio blasted out of her speakers which gave them a well deserved rest.
She got out of the car and walked into the house.
……………………………………………………………………………
Meanwhile at wolfram and hart
As angel watched Buffy leave he grabbed spike and threw him across the lobby.
Spike hit a brick wall and knocked off a argue picture which crashed to the ground.
Angel walked over to him, pulled him up off the floor and pinned him against the wall.
“Touch her again and I will dust you” angel growled angrily. She put pressure on spikes throat even though he obviously knew it wouldn’t kill him.
Spike kicked angel in the stomach and took in an un-needed breathe. He glared at angel. “You think I meant to hit you prick?” spike asked.
Angel didn’t reply.
“It was a reflex” spike continued. “If some one hits you, you hit em back. I couldn’t stop myself. It was over before I could do anything about it.” He said
“That’s your problem spike. That’s why you shouldn’t be around Buffy.” Angel said.
“That’s just coz you wanna steal her off me you bastard. She is mine and stop telling me what to do.” Spike said and he adjusted his trade mark leather jacket and walked off down one of wolfram and harts many corridors.
Angel walked off back to his office.
