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 14 – crash and burn
Buffy drove down the busy street. The head lights from cars driving in the opposite direction burned her tear stained eyes. She concentrated on the road ahead.
The sound of car radios that blared out from all around her deafened her.
Buffy kept her hands tightly on the steering wheel. She gripped with unbelievable force that the wheel might come off soon. She glanced around at the people around her. Happy families coming back from a nice family meal. Couples chatting and smiling at each other.
She was alone, as usual. That was the price of being a slayer. But she had been happy for a while with Carlo. She had a taste of a normal life and she liked it. But that was gone. She had destroyed everything. She always did that. Why? She asked herself. Maybe she subconsciously wanted to be alone. Spike had once told her that she needed the pain. She was starting to understand that. Maybe she didn’t want to be happy. She might not be able to be completely happy. What could give her as much peace as heaven had.
Buffy began to have flashbacks; first of her pushing Carlo down the stairs. Next, of her watching spike bury him. Spike must have cared about her a lot to do that for her. She constantly saw Carlo’s face. His shocked scared eyes that looked up at her.
Buffy shook her head a little to try and get the image away. The image wouldn’t disappear. All she saw was his face. His cold dead eyes gazing at her. Buffy shook her head more.
“No No No, go away!” Buffy shouted. She closed her eyes tightly. When she opened them she was on the other side of the road. She saw two large headlights rolling towards her. She had no time to move out of the way.
SMASH
Everything went black.
Buffy’s car was smashed up. There was a spark and it suddenly was on fire. The truck driver wasn’t injured, just a little shaken. His truck had not a lot of damage. The front bumper was a little dented but not as much as Buffys car.
All the traffic screeched to a holt.
A few people got out of their cars and rushed over to Buffys car. They looked inside and saw her sitting in the driver seat.
The flames were getting bigger.
One man opened Buffys door and undid her seat belt. He pulled her out of the car and another man went to help him pull away from the flames.
The emergency services soon arrived.

Hospital
Buffy opened one eyes slowly. She was confronted with bright light and immediately closed it again. She groaned.
Spike was sitting in a chair next to her bed. His head shot up to look at her. He held her hand gently.
“Buffy” he said, hoping that she was going to reply.
Buffy didn’t open her eyes. “Spike?” she said quietly and slowly.
“Yeah pet I’m here” he said softly with a sigh of relief.
What happened? Buffy thought to herself. She couldn’t really remember. She remembered driving the car. But everything was … nothing.
Buffy slowly opened her eyes. The clouds had covered the sun so it was a little dimmer. She turned her head a little. It hurt her and she moaned in pain. She looked at spike. His blue eyes gazed at her. She smiled a little.
“Where am I?” Buffy asked with a little cough.
“You’re in the hospital. You had a car crash pet” spike said to her.
Buffy looked at him in confusion. Then it all rushed back to her. What she was thinking before she saw those two big head lights.
“Oh” she said. “I remember”. She closed her eyes for a second. A tear fell down her face.
Spike wiped it gently away. “Its ok luv” he said softly to her.
Buffy didn’t reply to him. She was deep in thought.
“I better go tell the doctor you’re awake” spike told her and he stood up from his chair. He had been sitting by her side for the past two days.
Angel had got word of a car crash involving a young blonde woman. He immediately thought of Buffy and phoned the hospital to check. Once he found out it was her he was about to leave for the hospital when spike walked in the office. He had heard the conversation angel had had with the hospital receptionist.
They had argued for about half an hour over who was going to see Buffy. Finally they agreed they would both go. It was a quite pointless argument but due to the two vampires history it couldn’t be helped.
Spike soon returned with the doctor who went over to the monitors by Buffys bed. He did a few tests where they shine a light in her eye and she followed it.
“How are you feeling?” the doctor asked her.
“Like I have been in a giant washing machine filled with knives” Buffy said. That exactly how she felt. She had pain all over her body.
“Well that’s to be expected. I didn’t think you would wake up so soon.” The doctor said. “You were in a major car accident Miss Summers.”
Buffy listened to everything the doctor had to say. He soon left after giving her soon pills that she had to take.
Spike sat back down. “Peaches is outside. Only one
visitor at a time so he is kinda pissed” he said with a smirk. “But I thought whose face you would like to wake up to. His or mine?”
Buffy smiled a little.
“So of course I chose me” he said with a smirk.
“I guess that’s ok with me” she said. She paused. “How long have I been in here?” she asked him.
“a couple of days” spike replied. “I was worried about you for a bit. But I knew my girl would pull through. You always do.”
“Yeah I do don’t I” she said softly, remembering all the times she had escaped death or come back from it.
They both sat there talking for while. Spike didn’t bring up the Carlo issue. He thought she had enough to deal with right now. She didn’t need all the worry to come back. He had sorted it, nothing more to say.
Angel had swapped with spike for a little while. He checked if she was ok and they talked for a while as well.
After about thirty minutes a nurse came in to tell them visiting hours were over. Angel said good bye and spike came back in.
“We better be off” spike told her. “I’ll be back tomorrow. Hopefully not with Captain Forehead”
“Hes ok” Buffy said with a little smiled. She yawned, she was so tired.
Spike leaned down and kissed her on the forehead. “See you later luv” he said. He walked out of Buffys hospital room and went back to wolfram and hart.
Buffy was left alone in the now dark room. The only light was the moon light coming through the curtains. She looked at the ceiling thinking about her three guys. Carlo, Angel and Spike.
